For now the world is all their own,

Withstand the force that stood
Secure and safe, God wrought.
Through stormy times they fought,
And now they lie
In sleep.

JULY WHEAT WENT
 ID NEW HIGH MARK IN THE CHICAGO PIT
Corn and Oats Joined in Up- ward Movement, While the Provisions List BoIStered
 Up to Good Gain
By Associated Press

Chicago, April s.-Wheat advanced sharply today, following a weak start, the July option touching a new high mark for the week when s1.2OB was attained shortly before the close. Buying by houses with eastern con nections was principally responsible for the quick upward turn and at the finish. which was strong, the market showed a net gain of ssc to 1kc, with May, $1.32B to $1.32A, and July $1.20iz to s1.20ss. Corn closed %c to % higher; oats were up 4 c to ssc and provisions showed an advance ranging from 7c to soc
 While the government crop report on winter wheat issued after yes terdays close, instilled a slightly bearish tinge to the market at tho opening, this was short lived, how ever, as the buying demand from the eastern house caused reaction which sent prices to higher levels Unfavorable reports regarding the crop in the southwest also was contributing factor.
 Corn and oats reflected the action in wheat. There was broader trade and commission house buying led to considerable short covering. There was little, however, in the news on corn to attract attention, but the delay in oats seeding caused in- creased apprehension.
 Provisions, while rather dull, aver aged higher in sympathy with hogs and grain.

Buying Movement
 In Steel Continues
 And Prices Stiffenine
By Associafnd Press

New York, April S.-The buying movement in steel continues In con sequence, prices are stiffening and a feature of the week has been an ad- vance of S3 per ton in sheets by a leading manufacturer. Large orders from railroads for equipment and a steadily growing demand for struc- trral materials are considered gov erment evidences of improved busi- ness conditions generally.
 The steady increase in the produc- ton of pig iron is the best evidence of the improved demand and some manufacturers are less disposed to book ahead.
 In copper a steadier tone has de- veloped. Buyers showed increased interest at the recent decline and small lots pressing for sale at con sessions from the 12% cent level ap- peared to have been either absorbed or withdrawn by the end of the week. It is now estimated that last and export totalled nearly 200, ,000, 900 pounds and the conduction in stocks on hand. combined with the better months sales for home consumption Lcndon market and improving do- mestic business conditions has en- couraged a firmer attitude among sellers. Electrolytic Is said to be available around the 12%c level for spot or prompt shipment, but some of the larger producers are asking advances of Mc to Ac for forward deliveries.
 Lead remains very firm with a good general demand. Offerings for the current month are light
 Zinc is also firm and higher with continued good consuming demand for the second quarter. reflecting the activity in steel circles. Antimony firm, with a fair demand and light offerings. All of the weak holdings seem to have been liquidated

Seuen Million Shares Turned Ouer on Wall
 Street--Record Week
By AssocIatedPres

New York, April Stockings In- volving no less than 7.OOOOOO shares, mostly at highest prices for the year or much longer period and cor responding degree of activity and strength in the bond list epitomized a noteworthy week in the securities market.
 Factors on which the broad founda- tion of bullish enthusiasm seem to be laid, notably the marked improve meEt in general economic. financial and industrial conditions. are now so widely recognized, even in conserva- tive circles, as to occasion little doubt or discussion.
 Almost the only cloud on the finan- cial horizon was the suspension of operations in the coal fields, but the strength of coal shares. almost col lectively brought to mind time
 worn tradition that Wall street never sells on a strike"
 Many other railway shares besides the anthracite and bituminous issues gave impressive demonstrations of strength. these being accompanied by rumors of restored or increased divi- dends but speculative interest was most keen in steels, oils, motors and equipments
 From these groups activity extend ed to shippings. coppers. rubbers and textiles, most of which derived their strength from the better market posi- ton of those commodities, while food specialties reflected the further ad- vance of farm products.
 A few special stocks reacted te poor statements of earnings and a more or less vulnerable technical po- sition, but the movement of the great mass of industrials seemed to be based on indubitable evidence of trade revival and cheap money. Call loans in the open market ruled at Az per cent but many private loans were made at per cent on gilt edged collateral. The same disparity applied to time funds, accommoda- tions for the longest dates being priv ately offered at concession from the Az per cent quotation.
 England's notice to her erstwhile allies for payment of interest on wal advances threatened renewed unset clement in foreign exchanges. Latest aspects of the forthcoming Genoa meeting, however. more than neutral l ized that development.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON By Associated Press

New Orleans, April S.-Private re- ports of further heavy rains over north and west Texas, with cloud burst at one point. were responsible for a sharp bulge in the cotton mar ket today and a very active week end session In which outside traders participated to an unusual extent, their operations apparently being in- fluenced by first hand observation of cotton region weather conditions. h the early trading 1t was a dragging market with more or less selling be- cause of the dry weather over the best part of the cotton region under which offerings May dropped off to 16.59c and the list showed net losses of to 5 points.
 When the buying movement set in there was sharp rise which soon hal may up to 167Sc and the list IA to IS points higher than the final prices of yesterday. The close was at net gains on the day of 12 to IA points. with May at 16.75c. October traded as high as 16.57c and closed at 16.51c.
 While the opinion of the weather map itself was favoorble enough, selling was restricted by the storm warning for the Texas coast and the fear that the disturbance over Texas would result in further precipitation on a soil already soaked by recent rains. Weather conditions were fur ther complicated by the appearance of what the trade considered to be a severe cold wave in the Pacific west which some weather observers pre- dicted would cause pronounced drop in temperature to follow the rains. This aroused uneasiness regarding young cotton in the southwest.

General Cotton List Closed Very Steady at an Advance of Four to Eight Points
 on the Day
By Associated Press

New York, April S.-Moderate early declines were followed by ad- yances in the cotton market today owing to reports of unsettled wealth CT in the south and apprehensions it would continue over the week end. July contracts sold up from lille to 17.42c and closed at 17.40c with the market closing very steady at an ad- vance to points.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of 2 to 10 points because of some further May liquidation and evening up of long accounts for over the weekend, Prominent spot house brokers were again sellers of May but they bought some of the later deliveries and after the first few minutes there appeared to be very little May for sale. The removal of near months pressure helped the tone of the market which soon be- came firmer on the eastern belt forecast for showers and the outliok for renewed rains in western belt sections. Buying on the fear of an Gnfavorable weather map on Mon day morning was encouraged by the large amount of cotton reported on shipboard awaiting clearance and covering was active late in the morn ing. May rallied from 17.67c. the early low level, to 179Oc. and Octo- Der sold up from Hole to 7l.24c, or about 12 to 15 points net higher. Closing prices were at approximate ly the best figures of the day. report was circulating thta 10000 bales of Texas cotton which had been passed by government classers at New Orleans was being shipped here for delivery next month but after the first 15 or 20 minutes there were very few May contracts for sale around the ring. sa
 Traders found little or no change in reports from the domestic mar liets for cotton goods. A private cable received here from Liverpool said that buyers of cotton goods in Manchester had been holding off in the hope that proposed wage cuts would give them a lower buying basis. Telegrams received here from Texas late in the morning said that the rains had already started there and 1t was evidently apprehended that the disturbances would spread to eastern belt sections over Sunday.
