TAKE SLACK OUT
OF WHEAT DEALS
CBy Consolidated Press.)

Chicago, April 10-Wheat exhib-
tied much strength today. There
was a good commission house trade
on both sides of the market but
the big local leaders were playing
for rally and they were ready to
take the slack out of the market
every time a surplus of pit offer
ings appeared. There was much
stress laid upon the unfavorabEe
crop news from Texas, Oklahoma
and Kansas and this together with
the decrease of 1,734,000 bushels in
the visible supply were bullish fac
tors. Weather was wet in most
parts over Saturday Seaboard
was silent in regard to the export
demand. There is some business
working in wheat for shipment at
opening Of navigation, but sales
have not been large enough To
warrant chartering vessel room and
confirmation has not been forward

heavy IN the local market, the first
conslgnments of the Missouri river

shipments 100000 bushels larger
than the week before and an in
crease of 1900 bushels in the
amount of ocean passage.
Corn had firm tone There was
some commission house buying in
evidence and despite the efforts of
local traders to depress value the
buying was broad enough to absorb
the offerings. Cash corn basis was
unchanged. Liverpool spot corn
closed L pence higher and futures
T. pence higher. There was an in
crease of 127 900 bushels in sup
plies on ocean passage. Visible
supply decreased 1854 900 bushels
last week.
Oats were firm More wet wealth
er caused further delay in oat
seeding and this encouraged buy
ing. Visible supply decreased l.
03S,0 900 bushels last week. Cash
demand was light
Provisions were quiet Packers
were on both sides of the market
and there was not much change in
prices. Trade was mostly in lard.

GENOA MEET IS
VIEWED IN HOPE
BY FINANCIERS
BIZ STUART p. WEST.

wall Street, New York, April 10
-Todays market all the way
through was as interesting as any
this year. It was the first day OF
the Genoa economic conference
with its ambitious plans for the re-
construction of Europe, and the
feeling in financial circles both
here and abroad was distinctly
more hopeful than 1t has been at
any time, that important results
would be accomplished. This hope
fuIness was chiefly reflected in the
foreign exchanges, all of which
were very strong. Sterling at it's
high of the day was up nearly 4
cents in the pound from where 1t
stood on Friday last and within
less than three cents of the high
record of March L. French, Ital-
ian and the Scandinavian rates
moved sympathetically and Ger
man marks were up .05 from their
record low of two weeks ago.
The grain market was directly in
fuenced by the rise in the ex-
changes and sound outlook of the
general market although the pos
sible accomplishments at Genoa
are not the consideration of first
importance 1t is the domestic
trade reports which are the govern
ing influence on the stock exchange,
and here as expected the testimony
over Sunday in reports from the
steel centers was altogether favor
able. For the first time this year
the steel corporation showed an in
crease of orders on it's books during
the month of March and the in
crease-353,0 79 tons-was a very
substantial one 1t brought the cor
poration's untitled tonnage back to
the largest total since September.
1t gave an even stronger impress
sion of last months speeding up of
steel production than Wall street
had previously.
Il was another day of maximum
trading in both stock and bond mar
kets. Whatever irregularitly and
hesitation there had been toward
the close of last week, disappeared.
Railway stocks and inQuStrials
alike reached new high averages in
which was perhaps the most notice
able demonstration of rising prices
yet given in 1922. The investment
demand swept bond prices upward
all around and snapped up the $13,-
000, 0G0 City of Rio De Janeiro
lean put out this morning with such
avidity that aliotments to subscrib-
ers had to be heavily cut The ad-
vance was especially remarkable
in bonds of a second and third
grade. This was further evidence
that investment capital having
pretty much exhausted the POSSIBLE
tiles of highest class of securities
has now had to descend to bonds of
lower rank. For the same reason
the investment overflow into the
stock market is increasingly mani
Testing itself in the steady advance
of the dividend paying railway
shares.
Following the publication of the
United States Steel figures heavy
buying orders appeared in steel
common and made this stock the
leader of the market. The indie
pendent steels, Bethlehem, Repub-
lie and the rest, nearly all went
through their former highs for the
year. Equipment and motor stocks
which had been inclined to lag in
the latter half of last week again
came into prominence under the
lead of Baldwin Locomotive and
StEdebaker. The shipping stocks
and the feathers were very strong.

method has the advantage of being
much cheaper than houses OF other
style of construction. The first house
rnolding outfit was sent to France in
1921 and demonstration houses set up in
various parts OF the devastated section.
From them 1t was shown that a saving
of from 30 to 40 per cent over the old
French methods could be effected.
BY all odds the plan to finance the
small home was the feature most pop
ular among the visitors at the exposi-
tion. This is the stumbling block to pro-
spective nome builders, and the way out,
suggested by william D.. Carter. presi-
dent of the Metropolitan League for Saw
ings and Home Associations, was
through membership in a building and
loan organization.
To illustrate the popularity OF this
means OF financing a home Mr.. Carter
stated that more than 4,750. 900 men and
women in the United States are now
members of 5000 of these building and
loan associations. More than 1000, 900
American homes. he said, have been
financed this way.
The plan provided for the man with a
$500 lot who desires to build a $4,000
house Is that he can borrow as high
as $4,000 on a mortgage. This would
leave only 81 900 to be cared for. and il

One OF the largest seashore develop

ropolitan district Is soon TO be accom-
plished when the interests which control
Jelyll Island, or Barnum Island as 1t
Is sometimes called, lying between Long
Beach and the mainland OF Long Island,
will improve and sell off 700 acres
which comprise the available area of the
island. The land in the future will be
known as Island Park-Long Beach. The
industrial and financial interests which
have been in control of the property
have selected Edgeworth Smith as the
sales manager. Mr.. Smith has been
associated with the development OF Kew
Gardens and Garden City properties
which have been among the finest types
OF Long Island properties that have ever
been thrown open to the public at pri-
vate sales.
The development OF this island win
add about 10000 lots 10 the Long Beach
Channel and Atlantic Ocean seashore
district where bungalow and all the year
house construction has been going on at
a rapid rate during the last three years
This building boom has been especially
active at Long Beach where, since large
tracts were sold off at auction and
building restrictions removed. hum
dreds OF houses and cottages have been
erected.
The result of this removal OF strn-
gent building restrictions has been to
send land values UP. especially on proper
ties adapted for Improvement with bum
galows OF the moderate priced variety.
The opening of Jelyll Island. It's is ex
pected, will go long way toward meet
ing this demand. One OF the beneficial
