BALTIMORE GRAIN MARKET.

BALTIMORE. MO. March In
activity in trading but firmness in
prices marked the early part Of the
session today In the Baltimore grain
market Initial prices were firm and
this steadiness was in evidence all
through the forenoon. Buyers only
placed light buying orders. which
were sufficient to cover urgent de-
liveries.
Number red wheat sold at $1.85
while No. 2 red. garlicky, brought
$1.75.
The corn market. like the wheat
market was firm, contract spot SELL
ing at son cents. Export business
was at a standstill today, there being
no outgoing of any cereal. This in
dicates the dizziness Of the general
grain conditions in Baltimore.
Only 1S7,776 bushels of wheat ar
rived at this port today. Other re-
ceipts reported were 253.00O bushels
of corn and 1912 bushels Of rye.

NEW YORK. March There was
no let up In the pressure against the
stock market during the early trad
ing today. and as a result many Is
sues showed losses ranging to over
s points.
Those committed to the short side
resumed their favorite tactics this
morning OF centering their pressure
against a few issues in their efforts
to unsettle the general list
Their efforts were helped by the
actions of the directors of the Ken
necott Copper Company and the Co
lumtia GrAphophone Company In
passing the regular dividend due at
this time. Little attention was paid
to the interruption to the indemnity
conference at London.

The following item OF news which

SIMS AND THE IRISH.

Editor Every Evening what's an
the reason for recalling and reprimar nd
ing Admiral Sims and not George Har-
vev7 admit Sims was tactless IN his
apaach hsH he dd not deviate one inch

So I think OF the two Harvey should
he the one 20 be called home, nd mt
Sims.
The irish from the start of the war,
was g5ss pro-German. Why did they
aop the Democratic party in 1915?
because they thought the Democratic
marty was in sympathy with the allies.
and not with Germany and We DO not
forget the Dublin rebellion on that
Easter Sunday. Also the attempt to
land German arms in.Irelsnd. coupled
with their German propaganda in this
country at the same time. They want
democracy in their own country. hut
in this country they are practicing
the principles of a monarchy, millions
Of them bein. dictated TO, and led by
one man. Wen history tells us that
they practically sold their Own Inde-
pendence i50 years ago. and the peo-
pie Of this country better he careful
or they will do the same thing here
/ According to my observation, the Re-
publican party made asses and play
things Of the Irish voters.
BY taking advantage Of their hatred
for the British by telling them England
/ would be the boss of the League oi
I Nations. and they fell for It. and elected
man for President. that was 50 little
concerned about Ireland that he would
not vote for the resolution Of sym.
pathy for Ireland when same was ar
! IN the Senate.
So in my estimation the irish cut

as results show by conditions In Ire

cannot expect one ounce OF support

HOW THE TARIFF is MADE.

Little scenes behind the scenes are
.1ways interesting. DO you know
ust how the Fordney tariff on imports
vas c,npiied9 The following extract
rom a special dispatch appearing In
ne New York Evening Post may
hrow some light on the subject:
The story goes back to some
where near the beginning OF the
present session of Congress. As
soon as the Ways and Means CONF
mitiec got the Emergency Tariff
hill off his hands IL turned To- the
bigger job of a permanent tarih
measure. The various schedules
were parCeled out to the various
members of the committee, who
were "a submit recommendations
for new rates. These members
at once sought the aid Of the United
states Tariff Commission in franz
ing the new schedules. This was
highly commeudable procedure.
The tariff commission Is one Of
the most capable bodies in the gov
er-nmcnt servicch and Il is as im-
partial as Il is able,
There was one member Of the
WAYS and Means Committee, how
ever. who did not seek the assist
ance of the Tariff Commission.
This was Chairman Fordney him-
self. 10 whom had been assigned
the reader has already guessed

haste to get help in his ticlllish
task-eNpcrt help. He summoned
two of the biggest wooleu manu-
facturers ia the state Of Pennsyl-
vania. Ana they wrote the wool
schedule.
Chairman Fordney took this
schedule and submitted il to the
WAYS and Means Committee as
his report. II rumor can be
trusted. il made Schedule X of
the pavne- Aldrich bill look like a
free trade provision. AT once
there was a storm Some of MI
