Germany would prefer that JEis

appointees by the United States,
which would constitute American
mediation. but un ierstands that tho
allies powers concerned with the
Preparations problem would not agree
20 this. Germany. therefore, pro-
poses that the commission be par

the allies.
Germany IS prepared to offer

NEW YORK, May 1.--lndustrial
and commercial ndvlces published
over tho Weekend recess combined
with tho bullish "lltornture" issued
by a. majority OF the commission
houses. gave impetus TO tho further
advance OF the stock market prlcea
today.
The movement was uneven Tor tho
most part, however. seasoned shnres
again being RELOCATED 20 comparn-
tive issues. These mainly comprise
leaders OF tho oil. motor, indcpond-

Specific instances OF unusual

There wero numerous additional
gains OF l TO 2 points among special
tics, shipping, chemicals and utill-
ties. but rails apart from the junior
issues, were at all times backward.
Sales amounted TO 1,i35,00O shares,
making tho twenty-second consocu
live full session In which trnnsac-
tions ran into seven figures
Railroad tonnage for the proceed
ing week showed n moderate de-
crease IN tho middle west but this
was balanced by general business
gains in that section, as woll M at
more remote points, notably south

Dealings in foreign exchange con-
tracted because OF the holiday In
London. but the firm to strong tone
OF leading remlttanccs denoted n

Money rates continued to reflect
heavy shifting of funds IN con.

WHEAT SPECTACLE
FAILS TO DEVELOP
Settlement For May Con-

out Sensations

CHICAGO, May 1.--Settle ment OF
May contracts for the delivery OF
wheat here began today without any
OF tho Epoctacula. accomplishments
which had been talked about OF late
as likcly to be sccn. For at least
the time being no shortage Of wheat
supplies was apparent. Deliveries
were on liberal scale, and were
rc0dlly taken by strong interests
Big export sales helped to llft values
The market closed unsettled, 10

Corn finished 7-8 cent to 1 cent
higher, oats unchanged 10 3-S cent
up and provisions varying from un-
changed to n riso Of 20 cents,
u was practical certainty be-
foro tho wheat market opened that
Acre would be no delay In tender
lFg wheat freely To houses which
desired 10 pay for tho actual grain.
II was also evident that there
would he no difficulty in dlsposinR
OF the wheat 80 offered. Tho rank
and file of traders turned attention
To July and September business and
no factors other than the immediate
supply OF wheat In Chicago.
Signs OF continued foreign de-
mand for wheat became the domin-
Ating Influence. and with bullish
domestic crop estimates current,
tended TO send prices moderately
higher. According to one authority.
tho abandoned acreage OF winter
wheat was 1i.6 per cent, and tho
probable yield perhaps 10000, 900
bushels less than was harvested
last year.
Corn and oats were firmcr In
synpathy with wheat. Scattered
buying OF ribs rallied the provision
market from a decline due to lower
quotations or hogs.

AT HOPE MONDAY

at Hope, shot and killed Levi
Anderson, the tragedy occur
ring at the home of Wilson on
Monday afternoon. A single
barreled shotgun was used.
Rivalry over the affections of
one Josie Baker, who had a
room at Muldrow's, is said to
have led to the killing. All the
parties are negroes.
After the killing Cooper went
to the home of his mother and
later left for parts unknown.

case and his early arrest is ex-
pected.

The Lyke Watkins test well
south Nevada county at Willis
vile, 80 miles southeast of this
city, came in Friday of last
week and is said to be flowing
about 200 barrels of oil per day.
The oil is of very low gravity,
according to reports, testing out
about 20 per cent specific grav-
ity.
Driller Watkins encountered
the oil at a debth of 1892 feet
and the well began flowing
when the drill had gone seven
and a half feet in the sand.
Leases are much sought in
the vicinity of the we'll and at
least three other drilling con-
tracts nearby have been entered
into.
Willisville is almost in di-
rect line with ElDorado, Steph-
ems and Washington, and it now
appears highly probable that a
great oil pool connecting up this
territory will in time be proven
up.
