NEW YORK, April 1.-THE stock
market continues its frequent fiuctua-
tions. while maintaining reasonably
strong front. waiting for the govern
ment bond issue and listening faith
fully for peace notes.
The volume of trading was not large
and the frequency of the fluctuations
keeps floor traders busy, and yet dis
courages their efforts at scalping
living, for he is wise indeed who can
catch the feeting rises and get out
while yet the titful declines offer op-
portunity on the short side.
Most of the trading today. as usual,
was in the industrials. the rails drag
ging. with the steel issues. Mercantile
Marine preferred Equipment and Utah
Copper shares to the fore. while many
of the stocks on the exchange list did
not show on the ticker during the two
hour session.
Under the circumstances the bears
have shown a lack of courage in their
attack. greatly furthering the plans OF
the large banking interests in keeping
relative strength and stability to the
market pending the flotation of the
big bond issue. Money continues to
accumulate in the various banks, indi-
eating that investors are waiting,
waiting with determine tion to go in
deep when the opportunity to subscribe
is offered.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. April 14-Wheat jumped
today to new high-price levels Shorts,
who tried to cover. found the market
bare of offerings, and were forced to
raise bids with stunning swiftness.
Eager payment of premiums for cash
wheat for milling and export seemed
to preclude any chance of liberal deliv-
cries on May contracts. and appeared
to be a cause Of increasing anxiety to
bears. Realizing sales by holders de-
veloped somewhat on the bulge, but led
to only moderate reactions in values.
Opening quotations. which ranged from
2.24 and July at 1.S9 to 1.S9a.. were fol-
lowed by a general steep upturn. upon
which May touched 2.25a.
Corn. like wheat, ascended to new
top records. Sellers were scarce After
opening unchanged to u up the mar
ket scored decided gains all around.
Oats kept pace with the advance of
other cereals. There was active buying
of May delivery.
Strength of grain rallied provisions.
At first the market had sagged, owing.
to lack of support.

Apparently on Firm Basis.

So it is that the market seems on a
firm foundation. even without main
tanned advances. The railroads would
do better. but for the need OF more in
come to offset the cost of transporta-
ton. wages. etc, while the need of
equipment is so marked that equip
ment shares show steady tone. Peo-
pies Gas, Chicago's great producing
corporation, was under the hammer to-
day and declined ga points. for which
there was good and sufficient reason.
The directors cut the dividend yester-
day afternoon from per cent to

payment ! per cent instead of /. per

The high price OF all farm pro
ducts and low interest rates is in
creasing the value OF land. One good
crop Of cotton, broom corn, wheat or
corn will almost pay for the land.
The war which is the main. cause for
high prices may last fer several years
at least there is no indication Of peace
in the near future. High prices Of all
farm products will prevail for two or
three years after the war closes.
