A GAY AFFAIR
1t was a gay affair-this dinner
of the Hammond. LaPorte, Michigan
city and Gary kiwanis clubs. There
were between $50 and zoo kiwanians
there in festive caps and with every
known mechanical device that man s
ingenuity has devised to torment af-
ter-dinner speakers. There were COW
bells. whistles. cat-calls, drums, Gym
balls and other unidentified contrap-
tions.
Mayor Agar. of Valparaiso, made a
speech in which he advocated that
each Kiwanis club hold a Fourth of
July celebration. In describing the
various floats in the historical parade
he suggested that there be schooner
showing how the old settlers came
to northern Indiana. The kiwan-
ians approved of the idea of a cele-
bration, but they seized on the
schooner and rode X the rest of the

EUROPEAN TANGLES HAVE AN EFFECT
 ON WHEAT MARKET
Corn and Oats Were Both Off Fractional Points, While Provisions Took a Set
 back in Grain Pit
Rv A..oc,at.s Press

Chicago. A Til Notwithstanding display of stubborn proclivity to go higher, wheat prices weakened at the last today. affected for the most part by New York stock market de- clines and by misgivings over Euro pean diplomatic tangles. Wheat closed heevy, 1c to 1%c net lower, with May s1.39A to s1.39ie and July $1.23% to $1.23h. Corn finished Bc to l E c down. Oats off lsc to Ac and provisions varying from unchanged figures to a setback of 10c.
 It had been expected in some quar- ters that if as proved to be the case the Liverpool market on resumption of business after the Easter holiday recess should fail today to parallel the recent big advance in Chicago. a decided fall of values would be wit messed here Instead, the relative in difference shown at Liverpool was practically ignored here after brief period at the outset. Persistent buy ing for houses with eastern connec- tions kept quotations climbing most of the time until midday, after which however, the action of the market as rule was the reverse. In the late dealings. wheat buyers were in the minority, whereas earlier notable absence of pressure to sell had been a leading factor in sending the mar ket upward. Crop damage reports from the southwest although given considerable attention up to midday were subsequently, much more than counterbalanced by happenings in Wall street and at Genoa.
 Changes in prices in corn and oats appear to depend almost entirely on the turns made by wheat. Provisions lacked support.

F. J. LINNELL X CO.'S LETTER

New Orleans, April. 1s.--A further sharp advance was established in market today as result of unfavorable weather in the interior, favorable British trade and labor advices un- easiness over the flood situation in the lower Mississippi valley and be- cause of the large exports and dimin- ishing stocks, new crop deliveries ruling comparatively the stronger. now about at value with old crop positions.
 Private Liverpool cables stated that card room operatives have agreed on the masters terms subejct to other sections falling in line. Subsequently private cable advices reported the Manchester wage dispute as having been settled.
 Prior to the advent of the boil weevil floods in the lower valley were considered more beneficial to crop prospects than otherwise by pro- viding virgin soil wherever there was a break in levee. Now flood would delay planting and maturity of the crop. which would be favorable to weevil destruction later in the year.
 This afternoon market eased off some owing to complications ha- -lg arisen in the Genoa conference as a result of Germany and Russia having entered into an economic treaty to which the allies have taken objection also because of fear that the bonus bill will be passed at this~session.-H. & B. Beer.

BAD WEATHER AND COTTON GOODSBOT FIGURE IN MARKET
General Staple List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of Three to Twenty-Five
 Points on the Day
By Associated Press

New York, April 1s.-Reports of un- favorable weather in the south and talk of continued improvement in the cotton goods situation led to a further sharp advance in the cotton market today. July contracts sold up to 17.76c and October to 17.7sc. but met increased realizing at these fig ures closing at 17.56c and 17.59c re- spectivcly The general market closed steady at a net advance of 3 to 25 points, late months being relatively firm.
 The opening was 1 point lower on March but generally to points higher on overnight buying orders. This bulge attracted realizing whlcn was promoted by relatively easy ca bles and the easier early ruling of foreign exchange, and prices eased off few points right after the call. Brokers with foreign trade connec- tions were buyers of near months, however, with the market soon be- coming decidedly more active and firmer on reports of rain in the east ern belt and the forecast for cold weather in the west. Wall street, western and local traders were very active buyers on the advance which carried May contracts up to 1S.12c and December to 17.69c or about Fl to 35 points net higher on the gen. eral list. This made new high ground for the movement in these of new crop months and as the buy ing movement tapered off during the middle of the afternoon. prices turn ed shade easier under profit talk ing or realizing.
 Private cables from Liverpool re- porting that card room operators in Lancaster had agreed upon the ques- tion of wages with their employers. providing other unions would accept the same terms, contributed to the midday advance. The bullish feat ures most generally emphasized however, were the unsettled weather in the belt and reports of more ac- tive demand for cotton goods. The latter were accompanied by claims that prices were unprofitable an.i that manufacturers were willing to sell only for spot or nearby delivery.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 Rr Aasaciate.l Pr...

New Orleans, April 1S.-Wide fluc- tuations. sharp upturns and equally sharp reactions, featured the trading in cotton today For a while 1t was much of weather market and heavy buying resulted from too much rain in the belt and fear of the effects of the cold wave in the west as 1t ad- vances eastward but most of the gains were wiped out when local brokers received messages from Washington telling of an agreement in the Senate to pass the soldiers bonus bill. After trading as high as 17.1Sc a pound for month May and Oc- tober and standing at net advances on the list of 25 to s6 points, the market finally closed at net advances of only 10 to 13 points. May closed at 169Sc and October at 1695c.
 Liverpools refusal to meet yester- days advance on this side of the water caused losses of 1 to points in the early trading but when october touched 16.7Sc the wet weather over good part of the belt commenced to tell. The unfavorable opinion of weather conditions became more pro- nounced when the barometer readings were interpreted as meaning a beiated cold snap, which, 1t was figured. might possibly extend down far enough into the cotton country to damage young cotton. Official re- turns, noting rains up to four inches in the central belt called attention to the river situation and gave prom thence to reports that there were weak spots in the levee on the west side of the river above Natchez.
 After the middle of the morning a bulge carried the active months to 17c and here stop loss orders were reached in large numbers on the short side and this demand accelerated the advance but in the afternoon buying power died out because of the Wash ington dispatches although the market helc a steady tone to the close.
