" EEKLY MAR
KET REVIEW
Quinn Stephenson ca.


After quite long period OF hesi-
fancy and doubt, ali Of the wheat mar
kets were finally encouraged by the
continued difficulties In securing suf-
6cient contract grades, and during
the latter part of the week prices adj
vanced sensationally. Fears of Q
squeeze in making deliveries induced
also additional outside buying with Of
ferings and receipts continuing very
light
Aiding the advance were rumors of
large lines of wheat purchased for
the failure of Nebraska shipments to
May delivery by Eastern interests and
meet the specified contract grade.
Important sales Of new crop Wheat
varying from a million TO two million
bushels were reported. Abandonment
of considerable Southwestern Wheat
acreage is claimed and there are
some observers who regard as Bullish
the delayed seeding in the Northwest.
Corn and oats markets were char
acterized by very light receipts at
all markets and a fairly good demand
for spot deliveries, for which preml--
ums are strong. Some export demand
has been IN evidence with Germany
and Russia generally reported as the
buyers. Argentine offerings are now
in competition for export trade, and
in view of the large corn stocks at
Minneapolis, Duluth, Chicago and
Milwaukee, awaiting the opening OF
navigation, there ar possibilities of a
slower. demand in the event that our
foreign sales are restricted. The
Argentine crop, however, appears
merely to be an average one.
Although the seeding period is
comparatively somewhat backward
we cannot now regard the North
western situation as alarming. Il
has been pointed out that the 1913
crop, with seeding extending beyond
May list, turned out the second larg-
est wheat crop on record. While il
must also be acknowledged that al
present there seems to be difficulties
in securing wheat for May and pos.
sibly July deliveries: such strained
situation can quickly change and is
always discounted by the advanced
price. 1t seems to us that in all pro-
liability the markets will be governed
mostly by new crop conditions, which
are not unfavorable and which witt
clearer weather forecastsd should inn
prove. To counterfeit good crop con
ditions an unusual demand must de
velop, and with the exception OF
possible temporary squeeze, sensa'
tional demand is not in prospect.

ner this year. Those who plow-

usually early seeding produces
the best crop.
There will be a large acreage

more than any year since the

Many of the young men who
left the country during the war
are coming back and farm labor
is more plentiful.
The season seems to be repe-

If any progress is made on the
avowed object of the conference
economic restoration of Europe-bet-
ter trade channels will be open to
America and Europe will be able to
pay its debt to the United States
.
Establishment of new basis for
foreign exchange which will be one
of the first considerations, is vital to
our export trade.
Recognition and trade With Rus
STA is one of the overshadowing ques-
tons at the conference and If new

WINGED Both Men Were Convicted
on Perjured Evidence: Acts ON

San Francisco, April 18.-Another
step in the campaign to free Thomas
J. Moony and Warren K. Billings
from state prisons where they are
serving life sentences in connection
with a bomb explosion here, was tax
en- Tuesday, when District Attorney
Brady addressed letter to Governor
Stephens, asking that the men be
pardoned. Brady's action came as the
result of his promise in open court
several months ago. while phase OF
the Mooney case was being heard,
that he would endeavor to have the
governor liberate the men.
In his letter to the governor, Brady
said that it was his belief that Mooney
and Billings were convicted on per-
lure devidence and that their con-
tinued incarceration is a reflection on
Justice as it is administered in Cali
fornia. He specifically attacked the
testimony of Frank C. Oman, Dur
kee, Oregon, cattleman, and John
Mcdonald, leading witnesses for the
prosecution il. the bomb cases.
The cases, which became world
famous and prompted a federal in
vestigation on which plea by Pres
ident Wilson in MONEYS behalf was
based, following the explosion of a
bomb while a preparedness parade
was passing on July %, 1916. Ten
persons We're killed and 40 injured.
Mooney was sentenced to death, but
the sentence later was committed to

to make the tour because of press
ing business. 1t is known that Mr..
Denton has had wide experience in
the States of Maryland, Virginia,
Delaware and Pennsylvania. His
automotive activities have COM
manded much attention in these
States. He recently took over the
agency for Standard in this city
and bids fair to- ''go over the top"
with this car.
Roland N. Cragg, factory sales
man of the Standard Motor Car
Company, drove the car. 1t was
through his operation that the
Standard did an average of fifty
miles an hour over a distance of
$50 miles.
Leaving the small. towns of Rock
willie, Gaithersburg. Cedar Grove
and Damascus. the party entered
Ridgeville and turned to the left
on the road leading to Frederick.

surrounding land is transformed
into a rolling expanse of green. As
the party neared Frederick the
hills increased in volume. From

as the car sped on to Its destina-

Finally Frederick, a athriving town
of 1906, was reached. 1t was
here that the party inspected the
spot where once stood the house
of Barbara Fritchie. A tablet on
a small bridge located on Patrick
street was thus inscribed:
This tablet marks the spot where
stood the house of Barbara Fritchie,
bravest of all in Fredericktown.
She took the flag the men hauled
down."
The tablet was a bit worn and
a faded American flag adorned its
shabby face. The house of Barbara
Fritchie was torn down. about forty
years ago and directly where it
stood now runs Carroll creek.
A typical Maryland dinner, con-
sisting mostly of savorous chicken
turned to a tender brown, was con-
sumed by the hungry party at
Frederick. II was noticed that this
town now has two large hotels
under construction.
Thirsty Tourists Warned.

The party left Fourteenth and

to Connecticut avenue, entering the
road to Rockville by way of Brad

Veteran motorists are familiar
with the highway to Frederick.

this smooth stretch of broad high
