increase in spring acreage. Conditions

Flour-The mills are doing out the
flour as near as possible on the basis
of the last three years purchases and
trying to stand by the government in
furnishing their quota for export.
These orders are taking a big percent
age of the output. So far as volume
of business is concerned, conditions
remain unchanged. The mills are Of
fering very little and buyers who have
in the past been in the habit of buying
from various mills find it increasingly
difficult to get sufficient -four to keep
their trade even partially supplied and
realize that the future does not hold
any great promise of improvement.
While practically all of them have
turned their attention to the various
substitutes, little relief has been found
because these are about as scarce as
wheat flour and prices are soaring.
Local patents were declined 40c bar

Feed.-The demand for feed con-
tinues fair but there is nothing being
done in the way of fresh business and
the new government regulations limit
ing profits from the manufacturer to
consumer, thus doing away with nu-
merous landings of goods, will also
reduce trade operations for a time.
Mills have plenty of orders on hand
and they are making every effort to
force shipments. The market is abso-
| lutely bare of feedstuffs of all kinds.
There is practically nothing on the
market, while the demand continues
to be most pressing.

SHAMEFUL PEACE

GULPED DOWN DESPITE
VIGOROUS PROTESTS.
lENINE HEADS BIG MAJORITY
Bolsheviki Applaud Message of Will
son and France ResoIution-A
Statement Bearing on Anar-
chist Debacle Expected.

Russia has bowed to the central
powers. The hard terms of the peace
treaty submitted by the Germans at
Brest-Litovsk have been agreed to
by the all-Russian congress sof So
victs, in session at Moscow, in spite
of the opposition of an important
element of the Russian people
Spirited Opposition TO Overcome.
The result of the vote was forecast
in the announcement from Moscow
on Friday that the bolshevik dele
gates to the Moscow congress had,
at a party caucus, voted in favor of
ratification. There was a faction,
however, that registered its disap-
prevail of the treaty, but the pres
ence of Nikolai Lenine, the bolshevik
premier. probably united his follow
ers and enabled them to roll up a
large majority in favor of accepting
the provisions of the German peace
treaty.
That there was spirited opposition
to the ratification of the treaty is
evidenced by reports that trouble
broke out on Friday between the boil
sheviki and social revolutionaries of
the left who have been representing
the council of the peoples commits
saries.
Lenne Whip Rules Russia.
Moscow-The All-Russian congress
of soviets has ratified the peace
agreement with Germany by large
majority.
A bolshevik resolution approving
the acts of the government of the
workmens and soldiers delegates and
of the peace delegates and calling
for organization of the defense of the
country by the execution of a nation
al army of both sexes was passed aft
er Lenine's restoration of peace be-
tween the warning factions and his
statement that this action was the
only way out, intimating that the
treaty might be broken under chang
ed circumstances.
The opposition, notably the social
revolutionaries of the left, made a
valiant but futile effort to prevent
the acceptance of the treaty, which
was characterized by the minister of
justice as being "anti-revolution and
anti-socialistic." He stated that the
social revolutionary party repudiated
the responsibility for the acceptance
of the treaty, would resign from the
government ana devote all its power
and influence to the organization to
armed resistance to German imper-
ialism.
President Wilson's message of sym
pathy was received with marked APP
plause when it was read at the open
ing session of the all-Russian con
gress of soviets. The congress i'm
mediately adopted a resolution of APP
probation.
