Wheat.--The weather over the winter
wheat belt was generally clear and
mild, with tempera lures ranging from
36 to GO degrees above. The mlder
wheat plant growing and many re-
ports received indicate Il very promis-
ing condition. 1t seems to be the gen
eral impress ion that the crop has
passed through the winter without even
the usual amount of damage, and when
it is considered that the acreage sown
last fall, 42,000,000 acres. is record
area, the outlook for this years wheat
crop is very promising at the present
time. The movement of wheat con-
tinues rather discouraging and num-
erous complaints from mills of their
inability to secure enough wheat to
grind seemed to indicate that farmers
are not selling freely. The heavy
drain on supplies to fill the big de-
mand from abroad is expected to re-
suit in very active distribution, how
ever, during the balance of the sea-
son, and it has been intimated that the
hoping. for quite extensive importa-
tions from Argentina
Corn.-For one reason or another the
corn market has developed an easier
tone. This is not particularly notice
able as far as contracts are concerned
owing to the big discounts at which
contracts have been selling, but cash
corn was lower. Advices from the West
said that good cash corn was to 10
cents lower and that some of the lowest
grades were down 10 to 20 cents. This
represents loss of 10 to IS cents
during the past day or two. The weakness
however, is confined largely to the West
and to contracts for future shipment.
Spot stocks are very light and the ur
gency of the demand in the East was
at $3.50 on the spot. The action of
values in the West was attributed
largely to the fact that export allot-
ments have ceased and buyers gen
orally are inclined to wait until some
of the corn purchased has been de-
livcred.

Oats.-The oats market was also
easier, futures in Chicago closing with

also somewhat lower, and the demand
seemed to be less urgent. Local cash

any DearlSn views on tHc SltudtlOu stl

further export inquiry, and oats are
badly needed for Eastern distribution.
Embargoes are still in force, however,

A number Of North Carolina

to the hotels and restaurants that

Of all fair to our soldiers and the
soldiers Of our Allies in Europe
to allow any unpatriotic, self-in-

gard the Wheat-saving program

Henary A. Page has addressed a
| frank, vigorous letter to the hotels
and restaurants in the State
which is designed to secure their

THE LAWLESS IRISH,

Sometime ago graduate of a we'll
known New England university went
to Ireland to visit a college friend.
While waiting for the next train, at a.
station where he had alighted by mis-
take he was startled to hear the fol-
lowing conversation between two tall,
broad shouldered young farmers:

other, IAN just after being over to
Kilmary." "And where are ye going
now?" ooh, I'm going to Fillmore"

be coming with me to Kilemaule. F"

the young Bostonian's peace of mind.
That night he wrote an article for an
American magazine, entitled, "The
Lawless Condition of Ireland"
