| CHICAGO, April 16.--Wheat-Su
tanned demand for cash wheat, which
millers seem unable to secure in suf-
hcient quantities to fill their flour
sales was again the feature in strong
market. Southwestern markets led
Chicago in the advance. The visible
supply last week decreased 1921 900
bushels, the total now being 34,253 900
bushels, or 19,300.oOO bushels below a
year ago. In addition to the demand
from millers, there was also some
fresh buying of both cash and futures,
by exporters. The presidents message
to the American people further empha-
sized the shortage Of food supplies,
and is doubtless factor in today's
strength.
Although country sales in
creased somewhat over night, cash
corn continued strong and led the flu
lures into new high ground. The buy
ing OF May and selling Of July was the
feature in the pit, and was thought to
be the changing over Of Improbable
short sales. Feeders are said to have
cleaned up country stocks and there ia
q
stock of corn from the 1916 crop, while
further small lots are expected to be
brought from the Argentine. the vol
ume of this business will probably be
small.
Oats-If there were anything to the
argument that speculation makes
prices high, oats would be acting very
differently because the buying Of acts
futures Of late has far exceeded that
of other grains. There were enough
profit taking sales to more than offset
today's buying by cash houses. "A
large acreage Is being seeded but, so
far, there has been no favorable grow
ing weather.

Reversal Is Taken.
On appeal by the state attorney
generals Office, the United States
district court of appeals reversed
Carpenter and declared the code OF
1897 in full effect. The higher court
held that the provision inserted by
Senator Whitmore of Ottumwa in
measure he sponsored in the legisla-
ture two, years ago, containing the
words cor for private consumption"
did not authorize general shipments
for private consumption or personal
use. The court held that the world
must be confined in meaning to the
lawful shipment to the permit holder
and for his private consumption In
mixing medicine or extracts. etc. The
court made this inference after TAX
ing into consideration the general
trend of Iowa's temperance legisla-
ton.
With the support Of the highest
courts and the cooperation of police
departments in the larger cities OF
Iowa, the state will be made dryer
this week than it has ever been. The
attorney generals office also has
available for law enforcement a large

A MORAL BANKRUPT,

After three years of war we hear a
great deal about German man-power be-
ing exhausted. There is renewed talk
about German finances being at point
of collapse. That Germany's food sup
ply is failing every body knows; that many
of her industries are ruined, is not denied
that her shipping and commerce have
suffered blows from which it will take a
generation to recover, is admitted by
German business men. 1t is not strange
that they are reported to be urging peace
as an imperative necessity if anything is
to be saved out of the wreck.
But Germany has to mourn today a
greater loss than any of those mentioned.
She has lost her reputation. She has
squandered her moral assets. At time
when she needs to call up all her reserves
of good faith and confidence, she finds
that they have been wasted Nobody
believes her. Nobody trusts her. Upon
the German Government the disagree
able evidence that it is morally bankrupt
is being pressed from every quarter This

PORTLAND KICKS.

A committee from the Portland lob
ster dealers went to Augusta few days
ago to have talk with Gov Milliken on
the subject of what they term the COM
plete fall-down on the enforcement of
the new lobster law on the part of the
department of sea and shore fisheries
The lobster dealers all along the coast
even those hardened sinners out in Y ork
county-have joined in the protest and
are trying to have something done to
better conditions. They say the depart
ment is letting things slide along without
any sort of rhyme or reason and that
every warden is law unto himself, do
ing or not doing as he pleases and inter
preting the law to suit his own con-
venience.
Letters have been sent from hand to
hand, but it is said that little or no at
tentlon is paid to them and that in con-
sequence the situation has now reached
such pass that something has got to be
done or the lobster business will soon be-
come thing of the past. 1t is under
stood that at the special election next
month there is to be vote on this sea
and shore fishery business and the insin-
uatlon is that the department is keeping
very dark in order not to attract too
much attention to itself. Portland Press.
