MAY WHEATLEADS
in HIGHER MARKET
Premiums on Spot Remain
Firm; 100000 Bushels to
Belgium and Germany.

CHICAGO. April 22.-Grain prices
averaged higher with May wheat
the leader, the May-July spread
widening to around 22h cents
against 81 cents at the finish yes
terday. and premiums on spot were
very firm with fair milling de-
mand while exporters reported 60O,-
600 bushels sold to Belgium and
Germany via the Gulf More atten-
tion was given to the few unfavor-
able reports received from parts of
Kansas and Oklahoma than of late,
but the Kansas State report showed
condition of 86.8 against 1874 last
year suggesting that a crop of l52,-
100000 bushels compared with 1ss,-
100000 bushels harvested last year,
The best prices were not maintained.
Reports of an Argentine port strike
had some effect on the Liverpool
market.
Further export demand was in
evidence for corn with sales of I5o,-
600 bushels, and futures averaged
higher on scattered buying. In the
sample market cash grain was
about Il cent higher as compared
with the May. Oats were affected
by the action of other grains and
averaged slightly higher with trade
mainly Of a local character. Do
nestle demand was only fair.

BOND MARKET IS
FAIRLY ACTIVE
Higher Level Reached; Liber.
= ties, With Nominal Atten-
tion, Well Supported.

NEW YORK. April 22.-Bonds
were fairly active and a shade
higher in today's market. Liberties
came in for no more than the usual
attention but were well supported at
higher levels, the fourth AIS going
from S7.46 to s7.64 and the third AIS
from 1924 to 90.54 before meeting
any resistance. The supply was
small. Foreign issues were quiet
and without feature. Japanese AIS
went from SO to SEX and the sterl-
ing IS from 66% to 67h. Chinese
railway IS sold UP from 46 to 46as.
The latter price was, however, a full
point under the high of Thursday.
While the market as a whole
made only a slight movement there
were special issues which enjoyed
active buying and advanced more
rapidly. Brooklyn Rapid Transit rs,
for instance; went from A to IS.
Early this week they were selling
at 43. Interborough Rapid Transit
IS went from 81 to 57A and
back to 57hS Manhattan Railway
IS of the tax exempt class sold from
81 to 55. Sinclair Consolidated TVS
showed considerable activity be-
tween 91B and 92k. Cerro de Pasco
IS reflected strength of the copper
stocks, going up a half point to
107h.
The market for new loans was
subjected to a test today in the Of
fering of s30.O00.00o of per cent
bonds Of the Goodyear Rubber and
Tire Co. The bonds were reported
to be going quickly as well they
might with their 20 per cent sink

Commenting upon his resolution,

The price Of anthracite coal Is

The question is one Of supreme i'm

Attorney General, and getting no
reply. I thought Il might be better
to present the matter to him for

showing what have been the gen.
eral trends in agriculture.
During the ten years, from 1910 to
1920, the total population of the six
New England States increased from
s,552,6S1 to 74oo,sos, or 1s per cent.
During the same period the rural
population decreased from 1,554.5ss
to 1,535,s36, This is a decrease Of
less than rs per cent, and is less
than might have been expected from
general observation.
As matter of fact, there was a
much larger relative decrease in the
number of farms and in the amount
Of improved land under cultivation.
The Following table gives the sum-
married. figures on some of the more
important features of farms and
farm property in these six States.

undeveloped land well adapted to
this crop.
The change in acreage is a more
reliable index of changing tenden-
cies in agriculture than is produc-
tion, because the latter is subject to
seasonal and climatic variation. As
shown by the above figures, the
change in acreage was pretty ac-
curately reflected in the change in
production for the ten-year period.
Production of wheat did not in
crease to the same extent as the
acreage, indicating. no doubt, that
in dealing with a new crop many
farmers did not use the best meth
DDS. or did not secure varieties
adapted to their conditions. AL
though the acreage of hay decreased
the production showed a slight in
crease. The apple crop from IS per
cent less trees was only 8 per cent
less than in 1903.

called active deliveries were from J
to points below yesterdays closing
basis and Indications were that they
would not move far in either direc-
tion.
In short interest was decidedly
passive and practically all of the
small business done represented the
transferring Of long interests from
May to more distant positions. Most
Ct this was done by exchanges at
practically unchanged differences
The only outright sale of any size
involved twenty-three lots of Sep
tember on the call. This was de-
scribed as cotton trade liquidation.
