Chicago. May 2S.-Active export
demand for wheat brought about
higher prices today in the corn mar
ket, notwithstanding bearish news
regarding corn. European bids for
| wheat were said to be cents a
Under such conditions, the fact that
| the supply of railway cars in the
corn belt showed an increase, and
that country loadings Of corn were
larger, had only q transient depress-
ing influence.
Opening corn prices, which ranged
| from q cent to 1A cents lower,
| with July 1857 to s1.G7la. and Sep
TENDER s1.541a to $155la, were fol-
lowed by a rapid upturn that car
ried July and September sharply
above yesterdays finish.
| Liquidation and short selling on the
advance led subsequently to severe
break in prices. The break. which In
some cases amounted to GL cents,
was accompanied by unfounded rum
ors that the switchmen's strike had
been settled. Prices closed nervous at
Az to 5A cents net lower. with
July at s1.63 to $1.63a and Sep
TENDER at S1.51% to $1.5115.
Oats.
Oats hardened with corn. After
opening unchanged to q cents lower.
including July at Ssss cents. the mar
ket sagged little further. and then

NO WATER IN RAIL STOCKS,
Reports Arc Presented Of Federal
Investigation.

bHNCoktHatIOUs
Washington. May 2S.--For the first
time since the government began
seven years ago its exhaustive in
vestigations as to the actual value
of the railroads OF the country
a work upon which nearly $50. 600, 900
already has been expended-ra COM
prehensiye picture was presented as
to what these reports win show.
On the basis Of them. railroad val
uation experts believe, the aggregate
worth of all the roads OF the coun-
try will prove to be greatly in eX-
cess Of the value shown on the car
riers' own books, more than $4,000
100000 in excess of their capitalize
ton. and more than $4,000, 900. 900 IT,
excess Of the present aggregate,
market value Of their stocks and
bonds.
This forecast, based on the com
pleted field reports of the govern
ment engineering experts for 1883
miles Of road in oil parts OF the
country and covering nearly one :
sixth Of the total investment In
American railroads, was offered in
evidence today in the railroad rae
hearing before the interstate conf
merce commission. The presentation
was made by Thomas w. Hulma 81
Philadelphia, vice chairman of tile
conference committee on valuation
for the carriers.
The preliminary engineering re-
ports Of the valuation bureau of the
interstate commerce commission
have been completed for fifty class
/ railroads. These reports show the
cost OF reproduction of each railroad
on the basis Of 1914 costs for labor
and materials, when prices were
about half what they are today.
Mr.. Hume stated that the western
roads in the compilation were rot
representative, as they did not in
clude any Of the older and stronger
properties. When these were includ-
ed, he said, the western figures
would undoubtedly make the same
favorable showing of excess value
as the eastern roads.
1t was also pointed out by him that
in the east no figures were yet av ILL

Russian bolsheviki to send delegates

A Tiflis dispatch to the foreign Of

The reported willingness Of the

 The dealers were given a splendid opportunity to see the plant in opera tion, a half day being devoted to a
 tour of the gun and ammunition shops
 and half day to seeing the products
 shops. The completeness of mechani- cal equipment, the careful planning and the scientific exactness of manu- fracture made great impressions on the dealers.
 But probably the greatest impress sion made on all was the rigid sys- tenn of inspection maintained over all Winchester products. A small army of workers is employed to do this in spectaon wckk alone and all sorts or devices and severe tests are made in every stage of manufacture from raw material to the finished product It was evident that anything that could survive such system of in- spection must be an article that could explain the reason for the Winchester name being another wordf or quality.
 Speaking of the Winchester plant MT. Pittman gave figures that convey some idea of it's vastness. The main plant covers 81 acres of land, has B. 25O,O00 square feet of floor space, em- ployes 12,000 people and is steadily growing.
 Vice President eHnry Brewer at the banquet which closed the convention pointed out that the basis of Winches' ter success lay in the careful and cor rect planning done months in advance. The new products were not selected at random but after a careful study of the equipment of the company and the accumulated manufacturing ex- perience it had available so that the found itself already shill- ed in nearly all the manufacture of components required by the new pro- ducts and therefore was not facing the necessity of learning to manufac- ture something new to it.
