EQUIPMENTS STRONGEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 14-The mar
Ect was unsettled for a. time again
today, still feeling the effects of the
commotion produced by Fridays col
lapse in wheat. There was, however
= big interest which began to func-
rion after prices had dropped off in
the first half hour. Short covering
brought about moderate rally in
the later trading.
Equipment stocks gave about the
best account of themselves of any
group-American Locomotive, Amer
lean Car and Foundry and Baldwin
Bethlehem Steel sold at a new low
of 4S. Steel common sold most Of the
time slightly under 123.
Oils Especially Weak.
The oils were conspicuously weak
IN the early trading. Pool support in
Independent Oil and Gas was relaxed
and the stock broke from 81 to under
~. Pacific Oil, California Petroleum
and other recent favorites also de-
clined. 1t was noticeable that the
oils were rather reluctant to join in
the rally in the final hour
Allis Chalmers was very strong and
Laclede Gas took another Jump
American Woolens dropped below AZ,
but subsequently responded to short
covering.
st. Pauls Again Tumble.
At the close the fresh collapse in
the st. Paul issues was the feature
on very large blocks st. Paul pre-
ferred broke to a new low of Is. The
common was equally heavily sold
Reports of tentative plans for pro-
tectlYe committees to look after the
interest of bondholders were directly
responsible for the selling.

Worst Break Ever known.
TODAY'S GRAIN PRICES.

CHICAGO, March 14.-Grain mar
kets today surpassed yesterdays rec
ord for rapidity of price changes, if
not for the extent OF the fluctuations.
Weakness was succeeded by strength,
and vice versa, with lightning speed.
At first the wheat market shot down
ward to cents under yesterday
finish, but later rallied cents. In
as to whether liquidating sales by
holders were yet fairly complete,
and also bewilderment as to
whether export business had re-
vived accounted for much of the Ir-
regularity of values. Trade was of
great volume. The opening, which
ranged from "a decline to 1 advance,
May 1.66 to 1.6SA and July 1.4sh to
1.49, was followed by a sharp set
back and then by an even sharper
upturn.
Corn and oats reflected the action
of wheat. After opening a l to 3la
advance, May 1.202 to 1.211s, the
corn market dropped to LISA May,
and then rallied to 1.21A. Oats start
ed unchanged TO / higher, May. 40 to
45 Is; later the market touched ASA
for May.
Provisions averaged lower, inf1u-
enced by weakness in values

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady today at an ad-
vance of 16 TO % points, May selling
up to 1859 and October to 1851, in
response to relatively steady cables
and failure of the weather map to
show any heavy or general rains in
Texas.
There was active covering for over
the week END and some trade or COM
mission house buying, but the open
ing advance met further liquidation
and early fluctuations were irregular.
May eased off to 25.49 and October to
25.22 after the call. but the covering
continued and prices steadied up
again toward the end of the first
hour.

tic consumption of 55o,132 bales for

WHEAT PRICES CUT
40 CENTS ABUSHEL
Yesterdays Crash in Chi
cago Greatest Ever Known
in Single Day.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, March 14.-Wheat has
little more than couple of weeks,
suffering the worst in the last three
days. Sudden curtailment of Euro
pean buying in the United Staes, to-
gether with an abrupt stop to scare
over threatened damage to the do
nestle Winter crop, has been largely
responsible for the most sensational
breaks in price. Compared with a
week ago, wheat this morning showed
93s cents to 14% cents loss, with corn
az cents to 9S cents off; oats, Z Is
cents to 8 cents down. and provisions
varying from so cents decline to 45
cents advance.
Chief Factors i'm Tumble.
From s1.S9K for May delivery, a
height reached on Tuesday of this
week, the wheat market underwent
a series of violent setbaoks, culmi-
mating yesterday in d collapse to
s1.66A. The rise to s1.S9A had fol-
lowed the issuance of a Government
report disclosing notable scarcity of
wheat in country mills and elevators
and confirming the lowest private es-
reserve on farms. At this juncture
the attention of traders became TO-
cused on reports of huge arrivals of
wheat at Liverpool and on indications
OF much larger crops in foreign coun-
tries.
Worst Break Ever known.
Then came widespread rains, put
ting an end to fears of damage by
drought over great stretches of the
West and Southwest devoted to Win
ter wheat. Selling out of wheat hold
inSs assumed extraordinary proper
lions, and the smash in grain values
which followed was referred to by
some authorities as probably the most
complete ever seen in any one day.
Corn, oats and rye were uepressed
chiefly by the action of wheat
Heavy stocks of lard made pro-
visions average lower. Advances were
confined to meats.

his wages as a journeyman, 0. c.
Melgard launched the first Melgard
Monument Co. at Cashton, called
the Cashton Marble Works. This,
compared with the present activi-
ties of the Melgards, was a modest
plant and a modest business, but
it proved highly important as the
training school for 0. c. Melgard's
children. Here they learned the
business from the ground up, and
were painstakingly taught all the
details of monument manufacture
and erection. AS a result, they
went forth into the business world
well equipped to engage in this
particular line of activity, knowing
every angle Of the business and
the best traditions connected with
it. The old, original firm of Mel
gard & Sons built up a reputation
which forms a fine background for
the work of the present genera

POISON OF PROGRESS

game Of making things for the
world will be over. And the peoples
will have forgotten how to farm. Al
people once weaned from the soil
never goes back to it. France has a
dearth Of farm labor. Her people
are fiocking to the cities. In France,
Britain. the United States, and the
other factory nations, the
time is coming when they must be
satisfied with their particular shares
of the factory capacity OF a world
filled with factories. The markets
will fail
There win be that permanent I'M
employment which England has and
which cannot be remedied save by
putting back on the farms people
permanently united for farming. It
will be SOME such crisis as that
which always has occurred in every
declining civilization. No civiliza-
ton has yet found a remedy for
such q disease.
We have made immense progress
in science and the artsf but it is
impossible to see in our science any
such competence in social organiza-
ton as Justifies the hope that we
shall succeed where others have
failed. Our competence is in the
very things which make UP our
disease the atrophy Of agriculture,
the hypertrophy Of manufacturing,
the oyerbalancing of rural by urban
life.
