DUN'S BUSINESS REPORT
WILL BE OPTIMISTIC

NEW YORK, April s tP.-Duns to-
morrow will say:
"rhe recent notable strength of the
stock market, with average prices at
new high levels, has focused attention
more sharply on some of the construc-
tive aspects of commercial conditions.
Foremost among these are the phe-
rominally heavy railroad freight traf-
fic and an appreciably increased March
pig iron output and one which has
been equalled on only a few occasions.
The latter phase in turn reflects the
conspicuous activity in the steel in
dustry with record production, and
the loading with merchandise of more
than million cars weekly bears con-
tinued testimony to the large volume
of general trade.
Supporting these favorable features
are the high totals of bank clearings
at various centers, ease in money rates,
larger dividends by some corporations,
the comparative smallness of stocks of
goods in most channels and certain
other elements which cannot be re-
garded as other than encouraging.
Weekly bank clearings $10,611 ,424,-
OOO, an increase of 1913 per cent over
last year"

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, April [P. - Well
grounded assumptions that the United
States government crop report this
afternoon might contain surprise
rallied wheat today from an early
setback. The official estimate of the
condition Of winter wheat, S4.5 per
cent, turned out to be lower than ex-
pected. Wheat closed unsettled at the
same as yesterdays finish to u cent
lower; corn b to " cent up; oats at
* cent decline to an equal advance,
and provisions varying from 10 cents
drop to rise of cents.
Wheat traders construed the govern
ment crop report as slightly bullish in
view of rather general anticipations of
higher condition, private estimates
having been around S6. Aside from
uneasiness over possible unforeseen de-
velopments as toN the government re-
port, rallies in late dealings were
promoted by the fact that new crop
deliveries, July and September, were,
selling at about the lowest point
touched for three years and full 10
cents below the average price of cash
wheat throughout the past crop year.
Some fears were also expressed that
spring wheat seeding operations are
being unduly delayed both sides of
the Canadian line.
On the other hand, export demand
for North American wheat today lacked
volume, and weather prevailing in
domestic winter wheat territory was

LAUDER OVERCOME
BY DEATH OF WIFE
Comedian May Never Appear
on Stage Again After
Bereavement.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
DUNOON, Scotland, August Il
Sir Harry Lauder, who has lightened
the hearts of hundreds of thousands
throughout the English speaking
world by his clever drolleries, was
prostrated with grief today over the
sudden loss of his devoted wife and
constant companion for 81 years.
There were even reports that he has
resolved never to appear on the stage
again, but he did not make public
statement, and was so crushed with
grief that it Is not likely he will talk
for publication for some time.
Less than a fortnight ago Lady
Lauder went to a nursing home in
Glasgow for an internal operation.
She bore the ordeal well and was
progressing satisfactorily toward re-
covery, when early yesterday morning
her heart failed and she died. Sir
Harry, whose deep affection for his
wife made him keenly anxious and
troubled ever since the operation.
was constantly at the nursing home.
He was at the bedside Saturday aft
ernoon, delighted to find her cheerful
and getting stronger.
End Was Sudden.
The same evening he received a
message at his home, Lauderdale, in
Dunoon, saying she was still doing
splendidly. Thus the terrible news
which was sympathetically broken to
him by his friend, the Rev. John Full
ton. Sunday morning, came with the
force of an overwhelming blow.
The happy married life of the cou-
pie had been marred by only one great
grief-the loss of their only son, Capt.
John Lauder. killed in the battle of
the Somme, the end of 1916
Annie Valance, future lady I4au-
der. was one of II children of a
humble miner living in Hamilton. She
went to work when a child for four
shillings weekly in a fax mill She
did not meet Harry until some years
later, when she was Salvation Army
lass and he was working as a miner.
They were married in 1890 and began
to keep house in a miners cottage at
Hamilton.
His comical vein made him popular
In local entertainments, and when
eventually he was thrown out of work
by strike she encouraged him to try
his luck as professional comedian.
He Travelled about, while Mrs. Lauder
stayed in Hamilton, making ends
meet on 80 shillings a week and look.
ing after baby John. Success came
slowly but surely, his wife proving a
constant inspiration to the rising en-
tertainer. She inspired his love songs,
helped him write some of his greatest
successes and constantly encouraged
his efforts. Later she accompanied
him on his world tours, travelling thou
sands of miles and ever watching his
success with devoted admiration.
Lady LADDERS bright, vivacious tenn
perament made her friends every
where, and her natural simplicity was
not spoiled by the wealth which fol. |
lowed her husbands success. When
he was knighted in 1919 she made
jokes about it, but was very proud of
this recognition of his merits.
Lady Lauder was 5S years of age |
and both her parents are living. The |
funeral will be at Inverodan, Argyll, |
Wednesday.

H0NORING LINDBERGH

Never before in the worlds his
tory have such honors been bestow-
ed upon private citizen as have
come to Charles A. Lindbergh, hero
of the New York to Paris flight. In
fact, seldom if ever have such DEM
onstrations greeted an individual of
any rank.
Lindbergh is the first person other
than president of the United States
or foreign ruler to receive the ma
tional military salute of q guns.
The new Lindbergh air mail stamp
is the first United States postage
stamp to be printed in honor of any
man while he was still alive. He was
also presented with specially pre-
pared State Department white book"
containing messages of congratula-
ton from rulers and governments
throughout the world, and the replies
to them, with record of the decora-
tons and medals awarded him.
Never before have such demon
strations been accorded any Ameri-
can in foreign lands, and his home
coming receptions exceeded in enthus-
iasm those which welcomed the re-
turn Of Dewey from Manila and
Pershing from France,
It is gratifying to observe that
throughout all the wild acclaim and |
shower of unprecedented honors Lind
oergh has kept his head. In spite of
MS leap from obscurity a few weeks
100 to his present fame as the worlds
'est known and most admired figure,
lie is still the same modest, unassum-
ng boy that he has always been.
His daring flight proved his daunt-
ess courage and consummate skill,
