Chicago, April 1.-THE Tribune: GRAIN
Sentiment of the grain trade Is mainly
bearish and in some quarters radically so.
There are a number Of conservative oper-'

among all the markets and none may feel

are getting more notices of consignments
and one house reported paying more drafts
than at any time this season. Five cargoes
bought last week by American interests,
amounting to around 10000 bushels. An
immense export movement Of all food stuffs
is expected during the balance of this month
and possibly May. J. H. Barnes, president
of the food administration corporation, an

it was necessary that 100000 tons of food
be shipped within next 80 days in order to
maintain life and order in Europe. Its
we'll to remember that weather conditions
for the next SO days will be big factor in
the movement. Should there be too much
rain, 1t is possible that great deal of corn
sold by the farmers may not be delivered.

1T PLEASES Them.
New L. of N. Covenant Satisfies
the Republicans.
Belief Now That Senate VIII
Accept Wilson Plan.

Washington, April 14.-Administra-
ton leaders today were optimistic in
their discussion of the league of ma
tions covenant as amended and be-
lieved Il would meet all Republican
objections.
"The changes in the covenant are
very satisfactory" said Senator Hitch
cock. II think they must review the
objections raised by senators. Presi-
dent Wilson has won q great victory
Senator Myers, Montana, who OBJ
jected to the league covenant origin
ally because il failed to safeguard the
Monroe doctrines, sees hope in the
new draft tho still in doubt as to the
exclusive rights of the United States
to regulate it's immigration.
Senator Lodge was in Boston.
General discussion of the officially
announced amendments to the league
constitution, however, was still some
what guarded today. This was par
ticularly true of those whose opposi-
ton was based on objections which
may have been removed by the alter
nations made in Paris.
Senate May Accept.
The generally expressed view among
the less extreme opponents of the
league, however. was that the amend
ment will probably pave the way to
senate acceptance. unless some new
obstacles present themselves.
1t is likely. senators said today, that
before the United States becomes a
mandatory over any other people, la
determined effort will be made to
have the American people directly,
and not simply their representatives
for them, say whether this country is
willing or unwilling to undertake such

No More Loans To Be FIOated

washington. April 14.-Uncle Sam
wants less money on the victory
loan" than had been expected.
All he apparently needs now is
s4.5OO. 100000. He's ready to pay
y per cent on partially exempt four
year treasury notes to get it.
This was revealed by Secretary
Glass in announcing details of the
victory loan. The popular subScrip-
lion campaign will open one week
from today.
size of the forthcoming issue was a
Surprise, as Glass previously had
SPOKEN of possibility of a five or six
billion loan. In addition. all over
subscriptions will be rejected, the
treasury also reserving the right to re-
deem the notes in three years.
Convertible to Exempt Bonds.
The 4%per cent partially exempt
notes will be convertible into 3%
exempt notes. The 81 per cent notes
will not be issued Immediately SO the
transfer back, If desired, would have
to be later.
The Ak per cent notes are exempt
from state and local taxes, excepting
estate and inheritance taxes and from
normal federal income tax rates.
The 3 x issue will be exempt from
all federal, state and local taxes, ex-
rept estate and inheritance taxes.
Glass said the fifth victory loan
would be the last to be floated by a
popular campaign.
The victory loan campaign will be
ended May 10. Government require
nents over the amount raised by taxes
and other incomes, Glass indicated,
can be readily financed by the issue
of treasury certificates from time to
time as heretofore, which may be ul-
timately refunded by the issue of
notes or bonds without the aid of an
other great popular campaign such as
characterized the liberty loans.
Reject Over subscriptions.
While ver-subscriptions are to be
Rejected, allotments will be made in
full up to and including $4,000. The
notes of both issues will be dated and
bear interest from May 20, 1919, ma
turing May 20, 1928.
Interest will be payable on De-
cember Is, 1919, in time for Christmas
shopping and thereafter semi-an-
nually.
II am sure" said Glass, that the
people of America will subscribe to
this victory loan in the same spirit
of patriotism which they have shown
in the past to the end that the notes
may be as widely distributed as pos
sible and that our banking institu-
tions may be left free to supply the
credit necessary for the purpose of in
dustry and commerce and the fullest
employment of labor. Let the world
zee that the patriots of America, out
of their boundless resources and with
the same enthusiasm and devotion to
country with which they prosecuted
the war to victorious conclusion, are
determined to finish the job"

Washington, April lion the
ground that the supreme courts opin-
ion was indefinite, leaving the lower
court in doubt as to what future steps
should be taken in order to conform
to the judgment, petitions were filed
today asking for rehearing il the Kan
sas Natural gas cases, decided on
March IT. The petitioners are John
M. Landon, receiver of the Kansas
Natural Gas company and other re-
ceivers involved in the proceedings
which affect about fifty Missouri and
Kansas gas companies.
In. disposing of the case, the SUI
preme court set aside federal DEGREES
which held that the companies were
engaged in interstate commerce and
which enjoined state officials from in
terfering with rates which had been
fixed by the court under receivership
proceedings.
Many Suits Looked For.
upon entry of the DEGREES under
the mandate dissolVing the injunc-
tion," the petitioners said, hundreds
of suits will be instituted by consum-
ers for refunds and not less than
twenty suits will be brought by the
distributing companies to test the con-
fiscatory nature of the ascent rate as
to them. All the questions here pre-
determined by this court. The court
was told that following its action a
conference between the lower court
trial judge and fifty solicitors repre-
senting the various companies, was
held to discuss the opinion, but the
views of no two litigants conceded as
to what this court actually decided"
Members of the Kansas public util-
tiles commission have been waiting

Booth of Minneapolis before proceed

also take an active part in opposing

in any manner the authority returned
to the several states under the recent

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, April 14.-CORN-Wet weather
likely to interfere with the crop movement
had bullish effect today on corn. Be-
sides arrivals this morning were much less
plentiful than had been looked for. An
nouncement that six additional vessels had
been assigned to the transportation Of
States tended also to strengthen the market.
Opening prices, which ranged from ~ to
11kc higher with May 1854 to $780,
and July 31.52 to S1.522, were followed
by a moderate reaction.
Record breaking high prices for pro-
visions counted somewhat as bullish fac
tor in the corn trade. Corn closed strong
at H. cents to 2R cents net advance with
May 81. COZ and July 81. $685. to $153h.
OATS-Apprehension that continued
rains meant serious delays to seeding gave
independent strength to oats. After open
ing N@%c to 1c higher with July at 67%c
to Csc the market held firm at near the top
of the initial range.
PROvISIONS-Pork and lard assembled
to the highest prices ever known, pork GO
ing above $51 n barrel and lard above $50
cwt. for May delivery. Urgent export de-
mand together with decreasing supplies of
hogs, was said TO be responsible.
At the topmost point reached, $50. %, Nav
pork showed an advance of $3.50 n barrel
as compared with Saturdays finish. Offer
ings were scarce except from longs.

SHARP REDUCTIONS
|. IN YOUR SHOE BILLS

"a constant 'hiker' over all con-
ditions of roads, my shoes were hard
on my feet until l discovered Neolin
Soles. And as for wearl Neolin
Soles give twice the service of soles l
formerly used" writes H. Moves
Collinson, Hazelton, Pa.
This long service means sharp re-
auctions in those big shoe bills, for it
is because of worn out soles that most
shoes are discarded. Buy Neolin-
soled shoes, not only for yourself, but
for the whole family, children in
cluded. Also, take your old shoes
to the repairman and have them re-
botton1ed with Ne6lin Soles.
Remember-Neolin Soles are water
proof, as well as comfortable and long

to be all that soles should be, and are
