FARM RESERVES ARE LOOMING UP LARGE
As a Result Corn Market Went Downward, as Did
 Oats-PrOvisiOnsS Strong

Chicago, March S.-Donward swing in the corn market resulted today from the government report showing that farm reserves were much larger than any private estimate. The close was unsettled. 1@27sc net lower. with May $1.32H W1.32ss, and July S1.2624 c 1.26A. Oats finished l F e 2c down and provisions up soc to $1.
 Trade in corn was at times extremely active and fluctuations rapid. Heavy selling took place as the market opened. Bearish aspects of the gov ernment report left no room at first for any other influence, but on the ensu- ing break a good demand sprang up based on statements that the extra re- serves which the government report enumerated were mostly in the south east and not readily available to over come the acute shortage of corn in the chief hog states.
 Absence of any considerable stock of corn here to meet deliveries on con tracts tended also to rally the market. On the other hand, advices that the Ar genuine strike might be settled tonight furnished the bears with a new advan- tage, and there was plentiful weekend realizing by longs.
 In oats, as in corn, the main factor was the bearish government report
 Provisions were dominated by the eX@ ceptional strength~of the hog market.

MANY ISSUES 60 ID
 TOP LEVELSOF YEAR
News That Rail Lines Will Soon Get Funds Was a
 Helpful Factor
By Assoelatcd Press

New York, March S.-The brief ses- sion of the stock market today was characterized by extraordinary activity and further bullish enthusiasm which lifted many issues to top levels of the year, with here and there some actua! new high records.
 Among the influences which gave fresh stimulus to the advance was the report the administration had ordered another postponement in the pending antitrust litigation. Indications that the rail- roads would soon be provided with funds was another hopeful factor.
 There was noticeable increase or outside in the market which concentrat- ed largely in steels, equipments, and shippings, rails failing to fulfill thei. early promise of strength.
 United States Steel contributed almost one-fifth of the days business at ar extreme advance of 11a points to 9l, but affiliated stocks, particularly Midvale, Bethlehem, Crucible and Lackawanna Steels and Bald Tn Locomotive gained to 5 points.
 Marine preferred yielded part of its point rise but other 'shippings, in cluding Americans International, Allan tic Gulf and United Fruit, were less susceptible to realizing. Sugars, fertili- gers, coppers and utilities helped 10 swell the advance, but motors, oils, and tobaccos were irregular.
 Last weeks large actual loan expan- sion of clearing house banks was ma terially reduced today, excess reserves showing a further moderate gain. Liberty Bonds held steady, other do- nestle issues were firm and foreign flc- tations made slight gains. Total sales (par valu D aggregated S6,S50,0O0
 Old U tied States bonds were un- change n call during the week.

New York, March S.-(Special.) )-The rapid liquidation or old contracts con- tinued today, giving the market once more the appearance of great confusion. Matters. however. appeared to be set ting down and trading was less disor- derly than during the past few days. We advise the immediate liquidation of all old contracts as rapidly as possible because trading in them will become more and more difficult and unsatisfac- tory.
 As to the general market we are of the opinion that higher prices are probable in the immediate future. Sentiment through the business community is more optimistic as shown by the higher se- curities market; more than ever there are reports of some improvement in the ex- port situation and better feeling is shown in domestic yarn and cloth cis- cles though business so far is still mod erate.-Herbert Brothers X Co.

Hide The Poker.

A very interesting campaign is go
ing on in England right now that may
have some hints for those of us in this
country who use coal. 1t is called a
Hide the Poker'' campaign and is
based on the theory that poking and
stirring fire wastes coal and heat.
The placards they have put up all over
England read, Hundreds of thous-
ands of tons of coal would be saved II
all the pokers in the country were
put away
1t has been demonstrated that a
large lump OF coal, or collection OF
small humps, will not give out its
greatest heat while burning and
smoking, but that it will radiate
greatest heat after its gases have
gone off in smoke and it is a glowing
white mass. If this white hot or red
hot mass is left alone it will continue
to radiate heat for much longer time
than ii it is smashed into bits with a
poker, for then it burns up more rap
idly or cools into gray clinkers.
II coal is pOked while still smoking
and turning from black to red, IL
burns up quickly; also little chips
break off and fall through the CRATE
and are never burned, and bits OF live
coal fall in the same way and cool.
So, it seems to be true, as the Eng
lish advertisements say, that: "A
coal poker is coal WaSter."

backed by every resource in the
United States.
"Hold them because you have made
sacrifices in order to buy them. Why
pass on to some one else the contract
you have entered into with your Gov
eminent?
"Hotd them because, even though
the war is over, it has not yet been
paid for. The Treasury Department
must soon issue more Bonds.
Every sale now made by you makes
future Government issues more diff
cult and more expensive.
This expense can be born only by the
people of the United States, there
fore why add to the already large
burden?
"HoId them because the time may
come when such an investment will
prove to be a true friend in time of
need; guaranty against the fear of
debt and an insurance against real
hardship.
"Hold them because the need for
saving is not over. Government ex-
penses are larger today than at any
time during the war. Our boys in
France and Germany must be paid
and fed and clothed, and, when their
work is over, they must be transpor-
ted home.
"THEY. HAVE NOT QUIT, WHY
SHOULD YOU?
"Hold your Liberty Bonds instead
of exchanging them for some other
socalled security, because you know
the security of your United States
Bonds and cannot often know the
worth of what is offered in exchange.
The get rich quick crook is ready to
steal your bonds from you at the first
opportunity.
'sHold them because of the interest
they pay.
s'Hold them because it is good bust
ness to do so. What good will the
idle pleasure of needless luxury
bought today with the proceeds of
your bonds be to you year from
now? Your bond works for you,
drawing interest day and night, week
days and Sundays.
"HOLD YOUR BONDS. Don't
be gutter. Be a patriot"

the capitol. The winter wheat soWn
in Wisconsin this fall, according to
the average yield for the last 10 years,
will yield approximately 100000 bus.
Winter wheat has killed out badly
the past two years. while spring wheat
has been a good crop, SO Wisconsin
farmers are planning to sow a large
acreage of spring wheat next season.
Winter wheat is in good condition,
being estimated at SO per cent on
December 1St.
Wisconsin farmers have soWn 489,
25O acres OF rye this fall compared to
475,OOO acres in 1917. Adams, Mar
quette, Portage and Waushara coun-
ties have sown practically one-third
of the total acreage in the state. In
1916 Wisconsin ranked first in the
United States in rye production, but
in 1918, with an increase in acreage
68, 300, she now ranks fourth. This
suows that the United States as a
whole has greatly increased her acre
age in rye since 1916. The rain late
in October and the mild moist No
vember are sending the rye into win
ter in excellent condition,
