Connecticut Fair
 Assn Holds Meeting
Over Forty Fair Oangizatons Reported FavorabIy for Last Year-PIan to Continue Lasts Years Program

:. vision she said the women were given more responsibility, with the result that they take a greater in- terest in the fair and make that department as strong as possible.
 Rain has caused financial disas- ter at several Connecticut fairs dur ing the past few years and Leonard J. Selden, secretary of Haddam Neck Grange Fair, explained their experi- ence with rain insurance. Mir Sel- den said if it were not for the fain insurance they carried, Haddam Neck Fair would have been forced out of existence. During the period in which they have carried rain in- surance the fair has been able to show profit. MT Selden gave fig ures for the past six years showing the premieum costs and the money they have collected through insur- ance. He advised the fairs to con- sider most seriously the benefits de- rived through rain insurance for Haddam Neck Fair and the advisa- bility of each fair in the state talk ing out rain insuranse in order to offset possible financial failure.
 Elliott H. Platt, director of the Fairs Publicity committee, gave a detailed report of the committees activity during the past year and the association voted to have the work continued and to place on record a vote of thanks to the press which cooperated so fully with the com mittee in it's effort to have the peo- pie secure a better understanding about tn fair of Connecticut. MT Platt said that while fairs through out the country had been participa- ting in a pretty general decrease in receipts, those in Connecticut had withstood the period of business re- adjustment and showed only a slight
 decrease this last year which was | largely caused on account of heavy | rains.
 The association elected Homer P, Deming of Riverton Fair as presi- dent. George A. Hopson of Mt Car mel Fair was elected first vice-pres- ident and Leonard J. Selden of Had dam Neck Fair second vice presi- dent. Leonard H. Healey, deputy commissioner of agriculture, was elected secretary and R. H.. Erwin of Newington Grange Fair was elected treasurer.

 Beef was showing the effects of this condition to a greater extent than other kinds. Veal, lamb and pork were not showing as much price loss as beef, but the market for these was weaker it was reported by wholesalers.
 The effect upon the egg market was not shown by higher prices for any class or grade, but sellers were included to view the general situa- tion with greater confidence. It was expected that the continuation of the egg market decline would De checked. at least temporarily. by the greater demand resulting from the arrival of Lent.

WHEAT STORES DECREASE
IN MILLS OF MARYLAND

Stocks Of wheat in interior mills and
elevators in Maryland we're estimated
at 100000 bushels on April / this year.
This Is IS per cent less than the
100000 bushels estimated on March l..
Virginia mills and elevators had
about 1000 bushels on hand April /,
compared with stocks of 750, 900 bushels
on March !, and Pennsylvania stocks
were about 1,15O,000 bushels on April
l. or slightly more than the LIPS 900
bushels on hand a month previous.
Stocks of wheat in interior mills and
elevators of the United States were
estimated to be 7l,208,000 bushels on
April /. 1881. This quantity is 1882
600 bushels less than stocks held in
the same position on March /, 1881.
The reduction of stocks of wheat from
March 1 to July l amounted to about
100000 bushels in 1929 and about
100000 bushels in 1913. The esti-
mated reduction OF 1852. 900 bushels
during March this year is about equal to
the average monthly reduction in
stocks during the four months, March
to June. inclusive. There are no data
available for past years on the reduce
ton during each of the individual
months.

UPTURN IN EARNINGS
REPORTS AWAITED
Auto Makers Faring Better Thar
Steel Firms-Food Groups
Best Of.

with the release Of additional first
quarter income statements during the
past week, earnings comparisons with
the similar period of 1880 have become
increasingly unfavorable, says the
Standard Statistics Co, in a current
survey which continues, in part:
Profits of 155 representative industrial
corporations equaled $l19.453 900 in
the initial three months OF 1881,
against $229,812,000 in the same quar-
ter last year, decline Of 48 per cent.
Net income reported by is utility COM
panies gained per cent. For 20 rail-
road companies a deficiency OF 81 per
cent was revealed.
While for the majority Of individual
industrial divisions sufhcient reports are
not available to provide accurate indica-
tons Of group trends, the experience OF
q number of the more important
groups Is already quite clearly indi-
Gated. Thus, nine steel and iron COM
panies revealed an almost perpendicular
drop Of "a per cent. Eleven automobile
manufacturers Jared somewhat better
with a recession of 43 per cent, whereas
IA producers Of parts and accessories
reported a decline Of So per cent.
In the chemical group somewhat bet
Ger than average results were In evil
dence, 80 per cent representing the re-
cession for 10 companies. The great
est resistance to be shown by any
major industry was recorded for Is
companies in the food products group
the decline amounting to but 5 per cent
In general, the earnings experience oil
various industries during the past quar-.
ter has not departed widely from the
comparisons of 1880 results with those
Of the preceding year.

BONDS ARE HIGHER
IN SHORT SESSION
Entire List, Except Few For
. eiqn Dollar Securities, Gain
Better Ground.
BYF. II. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 9.-Today's bond
market, with the exception OF few
foreign dollar bonds, was higher all
around. At the start trading was &C
tive, but after the overnight accumu-
lation of buying orders was absorbed
activity lessened. This conceded with
a realization period in stocks and served
to show that bond operators still dis
trusted the movement of securities in
spite Of the upswing Friday.
The wide gains were all in junior
bonds. notably those of the railroads
Missouri Pacific SIS, for instance, sold
today at levels to 8 points above their
recent lows. In the case of the II"
series this represented a 7-point dis
count as compared with 14-point dis
count fortnight ago.
Money rates we're easier, with 90
day loans quoted at IL per cent.
United States Government bonds re-
1ected this with new gains ranging
from 1-32 to 5-32. Liberty fourth
4A's made another new high. They
are now selling at price to yield 2.38
per cent to the call date, a level that
has not been equaled since 1927.
Prime issues, both short and long
term, sold at new highs. American
Telephone IS and SIS moved up frac-
tionally. Atchison general As were &C
tive around par. New York Central
4As made another new high. They
count when the syndicate was dissolved,
advanced to their offering price Of par
again.
The strongest group in the railroad
list were the issues commonly known
as Van Sweringen securities" Erie
SIS ran up about / n points to a new
high on the movement and over 8
points above recent lows. Missouri
Pacific bonds made a similar move.
Nickel Plate a IS were nearly 10 points
above their low of q month ago. Al
leghany IS were inactive but somewhat
higher. Van Sweringen notes, traded
on the Curb Exchange, were also
strong It was evident that the adj
justment of the collateral deficiency
on the Allegheny SIS had revived conf
dence in the whole group.
In the foreign list Argentine issues
were still depressed by the political sit
uation In that country. Brazil bonds
moved uncertainty around Fridays
closing levels. Sac Paulo Coffee Loan
rs, however, were strong with coffee
prices. Australian bonds showed some
gains owing to the expectations of an
early election and the return of the
Conservative elements to political
power. European issues were quiet and
steady.

GRAINS GENERALLY
ADVANCE IN WEEK
Upturn of Corn Prices Par.
ticuIarIy Attracting Spe-
CiaI Attention.
BY JOHN p. BOUGHAN,
Associated Press Market Editor.

CHICAGO, May 9.-Striking indie
pendence shown at times by the corn
market of late is attracting special
notice among grain traders. Sudden
upturns of corn prices are associated
with unusual scantiness of stocks 81
corn here and with planting delays
Now a more far-reaching peril Is gain
ing attention-lack of subsoil moisture
in much of Illinois and Iowa, the Ma
tion's two chief corn-producing States
Compared with week ago, corn was
/ cent to 31s cents bushel higher this
morning; wheat, unchanged to Pa up;
oats. 7sa1% advanced, and provisions
20 to IS cents down.
100000 Bushels Moved.
In the face of persistent reports OF
only a slow demand, 100000 bushels
Of corn have been shipped out Of Chi
cago in the last week to Eastern lake
ports and elevator supplies here show
a l1eyay reduction. AS an immediate
result, holders of May contracts tol
corn are holding the market tightly
most Of the time, although trading
rules permit car lot deliveries en- rail-
road tracks this month as an emergen-
CIV measure. Back of this situation
and threatening to become the dom
mating market influence later IN tnt
season, unless corrected, is the need OF
subsoil moisture reserve over large
part of the main corn belt.
In addition to Illinois and Iowa, tne
shortage CT reserve moisture prevails
in two other large compromising
States. Ohio and Missouri. Ofhclal
records show that all four States have
received less than normal water sup.
ply in the last eight months, and thai
in parts of this dry belt the shortage
has existed for almost two years. Dur
ing the May-August period last year
when the corn crop was in the making
Illinois had only 800 inches OF rain
against a normal of 1853 inches, ano
Iowa received but 1925 inches COM
pared with 1923. Taking the full year,
May, 1880, to April 80, 1881, Illinois
has had 10 inches less than normal
and Iowa is short IA inches.
Ruled by Weather.
Wheat at present Is ruled almost en-
tirely by weather conditions. especially
those affecting Spring wheat. Harvest
ing CT Winter wheat is expected Il
start in Texas before the end OF the
month. If circumstances remain favora'
bic. Oats are in excellent demand
from consumers. cash premiums beint
the best met with in many weeks.
Provisions have been dragged doWr
by absence of aggressive buying.
