Review of the Week
Activities in Various Markets

the Italian news. The days turn
over did not exceed 100000 shares.
Traders displayed more confidence
than on the preceding day. however.
and the market recovered much OF
Thursdays loss. precipitated by the
suggestion OF an open break be-

LIVESTOCk-H gs declined
slightly Friday. after touching nigh
points during the week and exhibit

following and then receded slightly.
Light receipts and the price OF corn

There seems 70 be a shortage OF
marketable grades. Good lambs are

COTTON-The cotton market held
steady toward the weekend. Trades

FARM LABOR IS
FAIRLY PLENTIFUL.

The farm labor shortage will not
raise a serious problem this year eX-
cept in q few localities. The total
percent of demand on April 1 was
put at SO, against 20 last year. Sol
liers and war workers are returning
by the hundreds OF thousands 20
the farms. To hasten the movement
farmers justly ask that men who
have jobs on the farms awaiting
them be released before men who
have no jobs at all.
The mammoth wheat crop gives
just occasion for congratulation.
Needless to say, the farmers will rec
ognize in Liberty bonds a practical
means OF thanksgiving. Present
wheat supplies are selling 80 to soc:
above the government price. Corn
during the past week. Furthermore,
there is little likelihood OF over-pro-
duction. The population is growing
rapidly and world needs are unpar-
alleled, as evidenced by present ex-
ports. Prices Will continue very re-
munorative, il is certain, whether
the general level rises or falls. The
farmers position today is, perhaps,
the most fortunate Of any occupa-
ton.
Advance Is Shown.
The farmers relative advance is
clearly revealed in statistics fur
nished by the bureau Of crop esti-
mates. Articles which he buys and
articles which he sells have both
advanced about 81 percent over
1914. But the proportion Of articles
he buys TO his gross income is al
ways smaller than that OF any other
class. Hence, rising prices brought
a very substantial gain. The price
level paid for principal crops during
March, it is interesting 10 note in
this connection, advanced SIS per-
cent. as against 2.1 percent, the av-
rrage for 10 years back.
Railroad officials announce a plan
TO aid in marketing the crops which
should prove Of distinct advantage
TO the farmer. 1t is proposed 20
gather and circulate information as
TO when and where farm products
will be sold, and when and where
the need exists for them, thus en-
aiding the farmer to profit by each
sale. Agriculturists agree that the
plan has many possibilities for good.

RESTRICT|ONSON

Commerce to Follow

Trade restrictions, imposed by the
United States government as a war
measure. are being modified. Enemy

a forward move toward normal. It
is argued 10 imply complete removal
OF the enemy blockade a short time
later. Fortunately. many British
import restrictions have been lifted.
Nearly every day brings a new rul-
ing. The British have not adopted
a high tariff policy and will recon-
slider present bans Sept. l. when the
need for them may have passed.
Other belligerents and neutral coun-
tries, Tunis. for example, are letting
down the bars. At the same time,
