Lamson's Grain Letter.

Masonic Temple. Phone 1891
Chicago, April 9.-Wheat-We have
been consistent bulls on wheat for ten
months, and every reasonable expecta-
ton has been fulfilled and discounted.
While the market may quite likely go
higher within the next few months, In
vestment holders should, around pre-
vailing levels, be satisfied to realize. The
short seller has been responsible, dur
ing the advance, for helping to keep
prices down and Is now paying the pen
atty. The bullish character Of the Rov-
eminent report Is attracting buyers,
who, previously. had no vision Of the
value wheat must ultimately reach. The
action Of today's market shows the
danger Of attempting to invest after a
bullish situation has become public
property. The government report the
war situation and high prices should
stimulate production and prevent waste.
The most bullish crop news Of the year
may have been that contained in Sat-
urday's report.
Corn-The effect Of continuous bull
ing Of corn. and the heavy selling last
week by leading longs left the market
in vulnerable position today and when
scattered holders attempted to realize,
prices declined rapidly. The cash MR.
ket which early sold up to new high
records. became as demoralized as the
futures market late in the day. What
has been said above in regard to the
danger in trading wheat applies equally
to corn.
Oats-Oats did not fully sympatlfize
in the early strength in other gral4ss,
but readily yielded which the latter
turned easy. Oats are probably safer
to buy than any other commodity on
the list as prevailing prices for wheat
| and corn will tend to stimulate increas-
ed acreage in these grains, which are
selling at much more attractive prices
| to the producer

Chicago April 9,-Altho wheat prices
jumped to new high records today. the
market was characterized by extreme
fiiShttneSs rather than strength Sem
timent was SO uncertain and nervous
that fluctuations at one time showed
a range of nearly . cents within as
many minutes. Trading, tho, evidently
curtatled by calls FOR big margins. was
yet of considerable volume, and there
were periods Of great intensity. Ad-
vances apparently were based in the
the main on fresh reports of unpromis-
ing crop conditions, Opening prices,
which ranged from 1os cents TO a
cent up, with May at 2.lOl2 to PIP and
July at Isl to 1.SSR, We're followed
by swift general upturn to 2l5 for
May and 191 for July, and then a sud-
den setback, followed by a succession
of wild changes inside the limits
named.
The close was unsettled. to 5A
cents net lower with May at 2.864 q
2.07 July at 1.S4a ais.
Corn.
Corn proved even more erratic than
wheat. Unusual scarcity of offerings
however gave the market for the most
part a tendency to soar. After open
ing unchanged. to IA cents higher.
prices in some cases showed jumps of
nearly cents above Saturday'sc finish.
In late dealings corn fell hard with
wheat. The close was weak at 32s
cents to IA cents net decline.
Oats.
Oats we're fairly active but were
weak as compared with other cereals
There was much selling by scattered
holders.
Provisions.
New record high prices for the sea-
son were attained by provisions Fresh
top values for hogs gave impetus for
buying.

WARNING LEFTFOR GERMANS
Russian Troops Left Note in Riga A2-
pealing tc Germans TO Desert
Autocracy.

Petrograd.-The committee OF the
Twelfth Russian army before leaving
Riga left an appeal printed in Ger
man. and addressed to the German
soldiers. pointing out that the latter
were making war on the side OF au-
tocracy and against revolution OF
liberty and justice. The appeal said:
"A victory of Kaiser William would
mean the end of democracy and lib
erty We are leaving Riga, but we
know that the revolutionary spirit will
prove stronger than your cannon, we
knew that in the end your conscience
will see more clearly and that you Will
march on to victory and liberty SIDE
by side with the revolutionary army.
"Your strength is greater than ours,
but your superiority is merely OF ply
sical and material force. Moral force
is on our side History will relate that
the German proletariat marched
against their Russian brothers, forget
ting the dictates of international
solidarity"

WILL REGISTER WOMEN
GOVERNOR ISSUES PRocLAmA'
TloN CALLING ON ALL WOMEN
OF STATE TO REGISTER.
Council of National Defense Asks All
Women of Mississippi To Pledge
Economy In Management of Homes
and To Aid In War.

Jackson.-Gov. Bilbo issued a proc
lamation designating Friday, Sept II,
as Women's Service Day in Misslssip-
ri, and calling on the women OF the
state to register themselves for such
service as they believe they may be
able to render the national council OF
defense. In his call to arms the gov
ernor says:
1T is the purpose of the council OF
defense to have all women in Missis:
sippi register for service, pledglng
themselves to do whatever they can
and all they can for our common
country. This service consists or
pledges to economic in the household,
and to do whatever women can do
when necessary even to taking mans
place and doing mans work. In the
countries now engaged in the world
war women's work is largely RESPONSE
BILE for their ability to maintain their
armies up to the higl standard re-
quired. The gentler sex has taken
mans place in the munition factories,
in the cotton mills, as conductors and
motormen, cab drivers, and, in fact,
all the avocations formerly pursued by
the men.
In order that the council of defense
may know just who will serve in any
capacity called on, it is found neces'
sary that the women of our state en-
roll themselves and state along what
particular lines their activities lie"
