Weekly Market Review

I The flour trade Of the past week
was marked by three Outstanding
features: a marked Increase in price
all along the line, amounting to s0@
zoe per Dbl. for patents; a reduction
in mill ng activity. due chiefly to the
railway strike which made the coun-
try's flour output for the week pre-
ord: and the depletion of spot flour
Supplies in many of the consuming
markets to a point which made in
terest in securing new supplies exceed
ingly active.
Flour prices advanced very sharp
" last week. the gain applying to all
types and grades. While the amount
of actual business done. was still lin
tied. the reports at the close of the
week indicated a considerable increase
in the total volume. with enough adj
ditional inquiry to point to still fur
thers activity to come. The advance
in prices. instead OF discouraging
buyers, appeared to attract them.
The publicationN:of the grain cor
p%oration's hour ouput figures next
week will show just how. extensive

the railroad received by The North
western Miller it appears to have
been very serious. For the week
a. wi ppld'
tons figure was 1,769, 900 barrels. the
smallest since last July, and the re-
ports covering the following week in
dictated a material further reduction:
an output of 1900, 900 or 4 400, 900
barrels seems a., conservative guess.
Only three times since the Grain Corr
poration's reports began. in January.

output dropped below 100000 par

was 2,544,sS4.
The Kansas-Oklahoma group Of
hard winter wheat mills report an out

cent OF capacity. as against 48 per cent
the week before: the Ohio valley
group of soft winter wheat mills re-
port SO per cent, as against 44h. and
the spring wheat mills 81 per cent, as
against 35. The country mills. on the
whole. seem to have Jared better than
those at the terminals. where the car
shortage and the effects of the rail-
way employees strike were more Sc
verelN felt. The Chicago mills, for ex-
ample' virtually stopped producing
wheat aour. and the production at
such points as Buffalo and Kansas City
was cut to a small fraction of the nor
NAL output.
The whole situation is. immensely

garding what wheat prices will do
after the market influence Of the
Grain Corporation is removed. Pre-
dictions range all the way from $50
to 81 per bushel. without convincing
arguments in either direction. More
over, the car shortage. bad sx 4 y
now. seems likely to be very much
more serious Tvhen the new crop be-
gins to move. Finally, the recent
revival in the export demand for
wheat. with the gain Of the past few
weeks in sterling exchange, has
orought a new element into the cal
culations. Whatever may happen
after the Grain Corporation goes out
Of business. the entire trade will be
immensely relieved when this feature
Of the uncertainty is removed.-The

Men To Meet Soon

Pasadena. CAL. April 22.-Solution
of the fuel problems confronting
America through the use of electric
ity will be the dominating note of
the convention of the National Flee
trio Light association. which will hold
May is to 81.
Foremost among the questions
which the National Electric Light as

Is the electrification of steam rail-
roads; the inter-connection of the
lines of power generating companies
SO hat their productions capacity can
be continually kept at the maximum:
the shifting of the electrical load SO
that it can be most scientifically and
economically devoted to meet the de-
mands at the time Of the greatest re-
quirements; the development of the
available hydro-electric energy as rap
dly as construction can be financed,
and the application Of all modern
methods toward making the gepera-
ton Of electricity by steam produce
the highest ~potentiality for the
amount of fuel consumed.
quirements which conditions have
thrust upon the $500 electric gener-
atinE companies of America,
brings the banking interests OF
the country into very close touch with
the electric man who will represent
the American association at the con-
vention here. according to Fl. H. Bal
lard. president of the organization,
who said he expected A very large at
tendance of bankers and their repre-
zentatives. He estimated that about

GOOD OPINION.
These are the; lasting joys-of earth
A home which thelters honest mirth.
AZ few good loyal friends and true
Who take delight in all you do.
Clean hands which knoF no secret
And, ,rst Of all, a spotiess name.
There are a few great treasures
"a kindly heart, a conscience clear,
A mind which knows no bigot's chain
And yet for truth will firmsremain,
A voice that's quick to utter praise
And scorns the gosstp's evil ways.
He shall be glad who walks erect
And wins and keeps all mems re-.
Though lacking wealth, and fame
and skill
No man shall seek to do him i'll,
And whersoever his pathway Nwends,
He shall find happiness and friends.
Fools waste their hard-won bit Of,
BY linking pleasure unto shame, !
They fling away, at Folly's smile
The treasures that are most worth
And lose. one mad gay hour to 1ind,
The good opinion of mankind.
He shall be happiest here who clings
Unto the joys which honor brings.
Who lives his life so he al DO
Head high in any company,
Who tries to serve SOME useful ends,
And scorns to disappoint his friends.

If you are right half of the time
your batting average is way above
normal. y

rage seriously before they jump into

which is one of the most beautiful in the state. The same highway leads to West Helena. This is a town about four miles from Helena which was not on the map when the census of 1910 was taken but which now has a population of about 5000 and is the site of one of the largest hardwood industries in the south.
 After two delightful days in Helena, the members of the Association left Saturday morning on the steamer Kate Adams for trip up the Missis- sippi to Memphis. The voyage was one of the most enjoyable features of the meeting At Memphis the party was met by a squadron of about 50 automobiles, driven by leading busi- ness men, and taken for a drive over the beautiful streets and parks of the city. Following the drive, a fine banquet was given the party by the Chamber of Commerce, at the con- clusion of which the party was con- veyed to its trains at Bridge Junc- tion.

HELENA IMPORTANT
 INDUSTRIAL CENTER AND A FINE OLD CITY
Arkansas Press Association Royal, Entertained at Annual Meeting
 There Last Week.

Persons who have never visited Helena, Ark, are likely to think of il as sleepy old Mississippi river town aristocratic but unprogressive, con- eerned more over past glories than future achievements. It needs but a few minutes stay in Helena to dispel this conception.
 Helena is old-one of the oldest towns in Arkansas-and it is aristo- cratic, but it is also energetic and progressive and is enjoying as lusty a growth as the new towns of the west.
 Last week the members of the Ar kansas Press Association were guests of Helena. The traditional open hearted hospitality of the ante-bellum towns of the south was to be expected, but no one could have anticipated the lavish generosity with which the Squirrel 'heads" were received. So many entertainments and varied cour- tesies were extended by the people of Helena that it was indeed difficult to tnd time for the business sessions of the association. It was the unanimous verdict that never before in it's his tory was the assocation more royalty entertained.
 When we think of Helena we nat urally think of it as a cotton center. And it is great cotton market, re- eeiving annually more than 100000 bales, principally long staple cotton, operating two big congresses with storage capacity of 42,000 bales and immense manufactures of cotton seed products. But who in this part of the state had heard that Helena IS the second largest hardwood lum- Der market in the world, and the larg- est market for hardwood logs? The shores of the Mississippi for about four miles beginning at Helena are lined with 26 enormous lumber and woodworking establishments, employ ing great numbers of men.
 The city is unusually fortunate in its transportation facilities, having five railroads, including two trunk lines, in addition to the Mississippi river. Five strong banks with total resources of more than S1O,O00000| and three building and loan associa- tons with resources aggregating over $2,000,000 constitute the financial in- stitutions of the city. The city is adequately supplied with pure arte- sian water from wells 500 feet deep, and has a fine sewerage system and a splendid electric light, power and gas system. It has an excellent sys- tenn of public schools, with one of the finest high school buildings in the state. The churches are beautiful and sommodious and have large congre- gations.
 With its most important streets al ready splendidly paved, Helena is ar ranging to construct a complete sys- lem of paving and in Phillips county several big road districts have been formed and 120 miles of paved high ways are under construction or con- tract, about eight miles leading out of Helena having already been built The city and county will have eX- pended more than S5,000000 for street and road paving when the inn provements are completed.
 One of these highways leads past the Country Club, at which the Press Association was entertained and .s.a---...
