Most of the buying yesterday
seemed to consist of purchases fer
the account of traders who had pre-
viouslv sold for the decline. Adjust
mcnt of q portion of a large out
standing short account that was
thus mainly responsible for the I'M
rrovement in stock prices, which eX-
tended TO a point or more IN many
of the active issues. Fundament-
ally there has been no change in the
general stock market situation. Out
side participation is of compara-
lively small proportions. being prln-
cipallv confined to small investment
purchases. The general disposition
of investors and spectators alike is
10 refrain from important market
commitments until they are able
TO see light ahead in the matter
of commodity prices. With the ad-
justment of prices just beginning
it is not improbable that we shall
witness a professional trading mar
ket until we'll into the new year,
with possibly broader demand for
some of the preventative issues
for purposes of reinvestment.
Liberty Loan issues were under
pronounced selling pressure yester-
day, with record dealings. At 94.22
the fourth AIS established a low
record price. The selling originated
in various quarters, but the great
bulk of it probably came from cor
porations which are liquidating for
the purpose of writing off their
losses for tax purposes, as we'll as
to provide funds for current re-
ouirements. Bankers expressed the
opinion yesterday that the liquida
ton from this quarter would cease
at the end of the year. The steady
decline in the Liberty bonds during
the last month contrasts sharply
with the trend Of the Victory
bonds in Canada. There they have
an elaborate sterilization plan
which has worked so satisfactorily
that it was possible a few days ago
10 raise the fixed prices at which
transactions are permitted. Curl
ously enough much of the buying
of the Canadian Victory bonds in
recent weeks has come from the
United States.
The special committee appointed
many months ago by the British
government to consider the advisa-
biity of substituting the gold mining
industry of the empire in order to
maintain production. has reported
adversely upon the proposal, as was
20 be expected Probably similar
action will follow here. The COM
mttee holds that to pay more for
gold than it is worth for currency
is not sound economics or good
business. 1t does recommend, how
ever, that the government supervise
gold mining development and allo-
cate labor equity. The committees
report will be interesting to gold
mining interests in this country who
have been carrying on campaign
of propaganda for many months for
government assistance on the
grounds that they could not produce
gold prohtably with prices of labor
and materials steadily rising, while
the price of the product of their
mines remained unchanged.

Oats.-The oats market vas lrmer
on covering, prompted largely by the
strength in corn. The technical posi-
ton Of the market was believed TO
have been strengthened by recent heavy
selling, and offers were smaller. Re
ports from the West indicated some
export inquiry, but government buyers
here were Indifferent, and local mer-
chants saw little, if any, improvement
in the EXPORT outlook

Wheat The price Of cash wheat at
Western markets showed decid-
ed strength and quotations in many
cases were at good premiums over
the government figures. However,
when considering the price of wheat.
carrying charges must be taken
into consideration. as it is not rea-
sonable to assume that the govern
ment will sell wheat out of elevators
at the same price it paid for the wheat
in September. The heavy SHOWS which
occurred early in the week have gwen
ample protection to the winter wheat
crop in the West, and consequently no
apprehension is felt in connection with
the lower temperatures. Exports CON
tinue on a liberal SCALE while stocks
appear large compared with other
years, it is believed that the export
movement during the winter will be
very neavy and that the visible Will
be down to normal before another crop
is harvested.

Corn.-Operations in the corn market

making a new high record for the

that those who had sold December con-

January corn was also strong and there
was a general advance throughout the

velopcd a declining tendency toward
the close under proiit-taking sales.
Operators apparently had little faith
in the stability Of prices. 1t was gen
orally admitted, however, that little
can be expected in the way of perma-
nent decline until farmers arc willing
to sell more freely and stocks at primary
points have increased to a point where
supplies will be at least equal to re-

Problem Of Austria-Huneary.

II we admit that Bohemia must be
recompensed, two possible plans of
action are open. Either Austria
Hungary must become a federalized
republic like Switzerland or the dual
monarchy must cease to be. BY his
indirect appeals in his messages of
January and February 10 President
Wilson appeared to take the attitude
that tAustria-Hungary may be spared
on condition of breaking with the
German military caste. But as the
second message plainly states that
peace can only be made IL the terri
torial settlements be made to the ad-
vantage of the peoples interested,
there can be no doubt that the Presi-
dent does not contemplate assuring a
new lease of life to the Danubian
empire in its present form.
1t seems. therefore, certain that
from this time on those political men
who guide the destinies of the third
Italy must collaborate with the Slavs
of Austria-Hungary Whether or not
Italy publicly renounces the vast
claims OF the treaty of London, she
will certainly never let any diffidence
about them between herself and the
Jugo-slavs (slovenes, etc.) postpone
the return Of peace.

ROME, Italy, May 10.-The growing
dissatisfaction of the Czecho-Slav
groups in Austria-Hungary brings
into prominence the present domina-
tion Of a majority of liberty-loving
peoples by a minority controlled by
the Germans and Hungarians OF the
dual monarchy. 1t raises the ques-
ton: Will it profit the allies to keep
their promise about freeing little ma
tions and winning these nations as
present allies even at the cost of hav-
ing to fight to the total dismember-
ment of Austria Hungary? Two best
Italian newspapers, the Corriere della
Sera and the Secolo, both declare that
it would.

Maintained by German Aid.

Obviously the yoke Is maintained
by the aid of Germany, by wonder
full bureaucracy and because OF d.
vision among subject races. Leaving
Gated to prove much of factor, there
are in Austria-Hungary 100000 NAL
contents. Could these, within and
without the Hapsburg armies, be won
over to the allies, they might succeed
in seriously embarrassing or just pos
sibly in running the dual monarchy.
That they are willing can, think, be
demonstrated. Naturally Poles and
Ruthenes Qittle Russians), whose no.
tion of the allies is derived from the
armies of the car, will be less en-
thusiastic supporters of our cause
than the Czechs, Slovaks. the south
Slavs or the Italians. But there is
good reason for believing that all
could be persuaded to take up arms
on our side. The greatest example
of this loyalty to the entente has been
given by the conduct during this war
of the Czechs.
The Czech nation entered the war
on the side of the entente in August,
1914. It's young men were seized and
forced to fight in the imperial and
royal armies, its newspapers were
suppressed, its political representa-
tfves were seized and imprisoned, the
entire country was garrisoned by Ger
man and Magyar troops. Neverthe-
less, the Czechs resisted. Throughout
Bohemia and Moravia there were con-
tinual pro-ally and antf-Austrian
demonstrations. So1emnly the soldiers
swore not to fight against the Serbs
and the Russians and to surrender
at the first occasion. At the front the
regiments deserted en- masse and Of
fered to fight on the other side. The
S5th Regiment from Pilsen was carried
- 1i< or,I Ix~lH
arrival was in the Russian trenches.
The 2Sth Regiment from Pfag sur
rendered to the Russians in the Car
pathians April 3, 1915, with all its war
material and its band playing. To
avenge himself the emperor sent a
new battalion of the same regiment,
composed of lads of twenty years, to
be deliberately butchered by the Ital-
ian artillery. OF 1000 eighteen re-
turned.

Hope for Free Bohemia.

By the beginning of 1916, of the
100000 Czechs mobilized fully $4,000
had deserted. Throughout Bohemia,
Moravia and the country Of the Slo-
yaks public opinion approved them.
For passively yet positively, quietly
yet surely, the Czechs are in full re-
volt against Germans and Magyars
alike. Their public men have fed and
found refuge in all the countries of
the allies and in America And those
who remain. despite prosecutions and
suffering, continue to struggle. dog
gedly, with faith in the allies, who
cannot, they hope, make peace ere
they have freed Bohemia.
Palacky. Czech writer, has writ
ten: Before Austria was, we were,
and when Austria is no more, we shall
still be-"
In the memorandum of December g..
1870. the Czech deputies proclaimed
the right of all peoples, big or small,
to decide their own form of govern
ment. On January s, 1918, the day
after Lloyd Georges speech and two
days before President Wilson's dec
laration, the Czech deputies approved
a declaration that only recently has
been published. 1t is but one long
protest against the right Of national
autodetermination.
The Czechs have answered the ques-
tion of the Italian nationaiists;
What have we to gain by an alliance
with the Slavs Of the dual monarchy?'
And the answer is: "Everything."
