FARM CREDITS BILL
HELPS WHEAT PRICES
Reports of Damage to Winter
Crop Also Figure in Caus-
ing Advance.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO March 3.-Higher prices
IN the wheat market this week have
largely resulted from passage of the
farm credits bill and from uneasiness
regarding damage to the winter crop.
Compared with a week ago, wheat
this morning showed sc to 1Ec gain
in value. Corn was q to Tc up, oats
up to 4 to Aa&c and provisions
varying from &c decline to a rise of
10c.
Even though passage Of the farm
credits bill was generally anticipated
by wheat traders, the market bulged
to noticeable extent after announce
ment was made that the House had
voted in favor of the measure. This
was the more remarkable in view
OF the fact that liberal profit-taking
sales were simultaneously being made
for spectators who had used fore
sight as to what action would be
taken by Congress. Much of the
ing appeared to be due TO the gov
ernment weekly crop report showing
i'll effects from drought in the west
and southwest as well as damage
elsewhere from cold.
Assertions that farm reserves Of
corn would total about 200.o00,00
bushels less than in general had been
looked for counted as further
bullish factor in the wheat market,
besides tending to lift prices of corn
and oats. The estimate. If correct.
meant a reduction of more than
400. 100000 bushels compared with
last years farm reserves and of
about 700,000,000 bushels compared
with two years ago.
Provisions averaged higher with
hog values and as a consequence of
some lard buying for Europe, Ger
many in particular.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, March 3-Interest in
the financial situation this last week
has converged almost entirely upon
the course of home trade, with its
constantly expanding production and
the continued rise in commodity
prices. What this means is, of course.
that the country's industries are get
ting all the time upon more and
more profitable basis and it is recog-
milton of this that is the chief i'm
pulse back of the present stock mar
het.
Such check as was given by the
raising of federal reserve discounts
.. week ago proved 10 BIO only transi-
tory. The supply of funds available
for speculative purposes has still been
abundant and rates for call money
have even worked somewhat lower.
From practical standpoint therefore.
there has been no reason TO fear any
thing in the direction of the money
market.
Less Anxiety Over Europe.
Along with easy money and the
uniformly favorable reports from
the business centers, what little
restraint might have been exercised
by European uncertainties has been
removed. 1t is now seen, as 1t was
not month ago, that there is little
or no danger Of war resulting from
the controversy in the near east and
that whatever the outcome of the
economic struggle in the Ruhr, there
is no likelihood that it will have any
serious Worldwide effects. Conse-
Quently the security markets have
had pretty clear path ahead Of
them.
The advance in stocks. on the other
l,aS n1 orfn y-n
as 10 raise the question whether it is
not in danger Of over emphasizing g
the facts of the outside situation. ad-
mittedly favorable as these are. Some
of the upbidding of prices during the
last week has appeared most reckless
and of the rumors accompanying the
individual advances. scarcely any
have been subs tantiated
Public Not Heavily Involved.
When a speculative market gets
to the runor stage il has to be looked
upon with good deal Of suspicion.
There is, however, decided differ
cnCe between the present Wall street
situation and that Of 1916 and again
of 1910. On these occasions a public
craze for speculation had developed.
Outsiders were rushing in at inflated
prices To take stocks off the hands of
the Wall street syndicates. and when
this exchange had gone far enough
collapse of the speculative structure
was inevitable. The best point of the
present position is that the public has
not yet entered the market in any
large way. Stocks have been put up,
doubtless. In many cases extravagant-
ly. yet. mainly on the initiative of the
so-called pools. Under these Circum-
stances it may we'll be that the dis
tribution from strong to weak hands
has not gone as far as would ordi.
narily be expected. judging by the
magnitude of the advance.
Home Trade Conditions Favorable.
This. of course. is the purely
technical side of the market situa-
ton. but. nevertheless. the most i'm
portant side to consider at the pres

High Prices May BE Exaggerated.
In other quarters besides the
stock exchange il is uuestinn
whether the natural tendency toward
higher prices has not been exagger-

may be asked about the cotton mar
! per market 1t is perfectly under
standable that consumption of cotton

prices. and with two successive years

groundwork has existed for the up

1he extraordinary inducement which

addition to acreage and the crop gets

tremely dubious
AS to sugar conditions. there is a
wide diversity between estimates of
the size of the new Cuban harvest
! and a great deal depends upon wheth-
er the higher or the lower Of these
estimates is the more correct. In the
meantime 1t is fact that statements

in the cellar, dug hole in the ground with

him up the narrow cellar stairs to the

the country air and admiring the pure blue
of heaven above the green of the opposite
hills.
Before he was quite out of sight of-the
house he found his target. Further down
the slope a gray boulder leaned against
the thick turf. On the other side of it,
just above its top, protruded a dark OBJ

and motionless, like the tip of burnt
