SHOW BRITISH
DODGE CLAIMS
American Protests on Ship
Seizures Revealed.

WASHINGTON, March 24-Although
Great Britain declared at the outset OF
the World War an intention to make
"due compensation" to persons whose
ships or cargocs were wrongfully de-
tanned by the British authorities, she has
yet to compensate American vessel own
ers. it was revealed today by a further
examination of the State Department
corresp ondence with the British Foreign
Office regarding American claims against
the British, now being examined by the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Destruction of American property, in
Guiding mail matter, by the British,
without notice to either it's owners or
the American consul general at London
was one basis for repeated protests by
the State Department to Downing street
at a time when the United States and
Great Britain were associated in the
World War, it was also disclosed.
On Sept %, 1917, the American consul
general at London informed the State De-
partment that numerous complaints from
Americans had been received by him,
which, on careful investigation, showed
American goods seized by the British as
war measure" had been summarily
disposed of by the British prize courts,
with such speed as to deprive their
owners of an opportunity TO consider
taking part in the negotiations for their
release
The British went so far as to destroy
American parcels mailed in the United
States and bearing American stamps and
postmarks without giving those TO whom
they were addressed an opportunity to
claim them.
Colby note, just made public, said:
During the period of necessity and
subsequent belligereucy Of this Govern
ment it did not seem appropriate TO
press for an adjustment of claims for
losses (by Americans). l should be
pleased to know if his majesty's govern
ment now desires TO initiate suitable pro-
ceedings for mutual adjustment and set
Element of all such claims"
Republican members of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee indicated
that further inquiry by them showed
the British government has not yet given
4 final and definite answer to the note,
and is still engaged in silently evading
the issue raised repeatedly by the State
Department both before, during and after
American participation in the world war.

RANGE OF HOG PRICES.

With a rush Of buying by order men
at the opening OF the hog market OF Inc
local live stock exchange today, prices OF
swine were fully SOC higher, with a top
of $11.35, and the bulk of the sales a.
$10.75Q11.15.
Receipts for the day Appropriated
1000 fresh hogs and close to 100 hogs
left over from the market OF the day De.
fore, but there were fully 1000 hogs that
were taken off of the market today by
farmers who are in hopes that prices VIII
go still higher within the next day or SO.
Practically all Of the hogs on sale were
sold at an early hour, with the Shipper
taking practically all the receipts; King
an d Co. bought only 200 hogs, while the
other local packers bought only Few
Light hogs generally brought sig
11.23, with one or two loads at SLIP.
Medium and mixed hogs generally
bought at a wider range at $lOQ 2Jt8

11.5O, while rOughs were fully SOC higher

ers brought stronger prices.

cattle, with but little stale stuff left in
the pens from the market Of the day be-
fore.
A slump hit the calf market today and
prices were fully $3.50 lower and in cases
81 lower The bulk of the good and
choice calves brought S11@1250, while
mediums generally brought S7.50g9.5O.
Other grades were lower in comparison.
Commission men stated that the slump
here was due to the fact that eastern
houses have filed their demand for
Easter veal. for which they have been
paying higher prices during the past
week. Prices, they said, were bound to
come down.
with 100 sheep and lambs on the mar
ket, prices were practically steady.

PLAN TAKEN UP
COMMUNICATIONS Seek I20,-
900 Acres in Mexico.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, March pa
Emil Locke, real estate man. left today
for Las Vascas, Coahuila, Mexico where
he will meet representatives of Gen. L.
nacio Villareal, Mexican secretary Of
agriculture, to discuss the plan for the
colonization of 10000 acres Of land south
of that city by COMMUNICATIONS.
Two phases of the colonization prob
lem are to be thrashed out at the meet
ing. They are the ones permitting aliens
to occupy land in a strategical position
along Mexico's lines of Communication
with the United States and the fact that
article 81 of the Mexican constitution
prohibits aliens from settling within 100
kilometers of the border without becom-
ing Mexican citizens.
Locke believes these difficulties can be
surmounted and says at least $50 Ger
man American families are ready to oc
cupy the new town, which would be built
and called "Braunfels." The considera-
ton for the land is to be 100000.

Wheat--It has not been definitely
stated that the Greek order for wheat
has been filled, but there has been some
buying of the futures, which suggests
that export sales have been made. How
ever this was more than overcome by
further favorable reports from the new
crop and by a BroOmhall cable to the
effect that the British commission would
probably not appear as a buyer dur
ing the balance of the season. over anu
above any specific news items, the wide
spread belief that wheat prices are too
high as compared with many commodi-
ties and with other grains, Is an impor-
tant factor in the present market. Cash
wheat is firm In the Southwest and
strong In the Northwest. In the spring
wheat territory, the demand Is reported
as keen and Canadian wheat selling 7c
higher as compared with future deliy-
evident that the market Is in need or
some radical development If the gen.
eral demand Is to be stimulated. EX-
ports throughout the crop year have
been heavily in excess Of a year ago, but
1t will take time to develop any actual
scarcity If such is the underlying con-
dition. Therefore the market is not in
fuenced by the shipments abroad. Crop
conditions are very hattering except
that rains would be beneficial in western
Kansas and Nebraska and except the
presence Of Hessian fly east Of the Mis-
sissippi River. sentiment fayors lower
prices, but the immediate conditions are
probably well discounted. For this rea-
son we anticipate the appearance Of firm
ness around the present level.
Corn and Oars-The approach of grow
ing weather appeals to the trade in coarse
grains In the way Of reyiviug the idea
of enormous reserves on the farms also
the decreasing demand for farm usage.
In these markets, as in wheat, there is
very little demand for either investment
or consumptive. AS a consequence, the
accumulations. now in sight, are o
greater weight upon the market than
they would be ordinarily. We do not
anticipate any permanent show OF
strength.
Provisions Distribution Of hog prod
ucts, both domestic and foreign Is Of
fair proportion, but there is no invest
patton of a further improvement in the
cash trade. Dizziness characterizes the
whole market

March "a

We had a day of favorable news and a
favorable response In the market Wednes.
day. There can no longer be any doubt
about Improvement in business, 1t Is
confirmed from various sources.
The Improvement in the motor indus
try has been very marked. In the rail
roads 1t is slow but certain, and in the
steel and iron industry, which has been
one of the doubtful elements recently, i'm
prOvement is noted in the Iron Age.
And improved business is no doubt felt
in nearly all lines, for otherwise there
would be no such chance in public sentt'
ment as is now apparent.
The stock market always reflects these
changes and reflects them accurately. Ana
a glance at quotations should be con-
vincing, for activity and improvement Is
now noted in such a variety of stocks
representing varied industries that the
list has become too numerous to mention.
The important point to remember is
that business having started on the road
of recovery, Improvement will be prog
ressive and continue for a considerable
length OF time.
In a big market such as we had yes
terday there will, of course, be a cOnsid'
cradle change in stock ownership, but we
feel that new buyers will appear as 9TH
ers accept profits, and that the advance
in values Will continue.
