what exile is there who does not look
back with an ache in his heart for the

Because the farmer, more than any

BUSINESS STILL uneven,
WITH OUTLOOK BETTER

Although reports to the journals of
business emphasize the fact that busi-
ness is uneven, they see evidences of
slowly but surely frightening out
look.
quarter of the year opens with some
further evidence of business recov-
cry. Contradictory advices continue,
the situation being conspicuously un-
even. but the general outlook is slow
iy Frightening. An added gain in steel
buying, slight as it is, gives encour-
agement. and there is somewhat less
depression t'sLn previously in certain
! other basic industries. Progress would
be more satisfactory if future de-
mands were more numerous and
/ larger, yet some textile mills have
work ahead into the summer and for
ward commitments elsewhere may
conceivably broaden when price un.
settlement diminishes."

WEEKS TRADING IS RULED
BY DISQUIETING FACTORS

NEW YORK, April 2.-Firmer
money rates. the apathetic attitude of
investors. increasing transportation
problems and disquieting industrial
and political conditions in Great Brit
ain and central Europe were foremost
among the factors which accelerated
this weeks irregular reaction In the
stock market.
The turn into the years second
quarter brought no relaxation OF time
funds, and latest statements of the
leading railway companies strength
ened the plea Of these systems for
urgent remedial legislation.
An interesting sidelight on existing
investment conditions was presented
by the failure Of the city Of New
York to find a market for more than a
part Of the s47.000.000 shoft-term
notes at or under s per cent, most
bids being in excess of that figure.
Save for a moderate quickening of
the recent slow pace in the automo-
bile industry. latest advices from
leading centers of manufacture failed
to show more than very moderate re-
covery. Steel and iron production
showed only nominal gains, and condi-
tions in the metal industry, particu-
larly copper, were extremely discour-
aging.
Sporadic improvement in general
lines of business was attributed by
trade authorities to seasonal condi-
tions and not SO much to any indica-
tions of a broad demand for other
than the more necessary commodities.

WINTER WHEAT FORECAST
NEW LOW MARKETLEVELs

CHICAGO. April Forecast Of a
big crop of winter wheat was the
leading influence this week in tum-
bling down all grain and provisions to
new low levels for the season. gen.
era1 1915-16 level. Compared with q
week ago. wheat this morning showed
a fall Of 6Z to IL, corn was of AZ
to ~. oats 3N to 3N and provisions
SIS. to 1.60.
Notwithstanding announcement that
the visible supply Of wheat ready for
immediate use had been curtailed to
the smallest total In more than thirty
years. traders were quick to turn to
the bear side when an opinion be-
came prevalent that recent low tenn
peratures had been a beneht instead
Of a detriment to the new crop of
winter wheat. The cold was said to
have given a finishing blow to the
green-bug pest, and also to have
operated as a needed check against
unduly rapid growth.
Two authoritative estimates put the
probable winter yield at figure much
in excess Of the 1920 production. Ner-
vousness over disturbed political and
economic conditions in Europe tended
likewise to weaken values despite
evidence that exporters were buying
on the declines.
Huge stocks in sight had a bearish
effect on corn and oats. and so. too
did assertions, that corn planting in
the south would be increased 6,000.-
900 acres this season on land usually
devoted to cotton.
Provisions dropped in sympathy
with grain and hogs.
