In light Of what happened In Lou
isiana. and what happened earlier in
other states where New Dealers
were swept out Of Office BY impress
siye majOrities, no surprise Is ex-
pressed at the fact that Admins
tration leaders at Washington cOun-
seled against holding a special cleo
tion to fill the vacancy in the House
Of Representatives resulting from
the death OF Congressman Wesley
Lloyd Of the state Of Washington.
Just as President Roosevelt and his
political staff warded of a special
election in Ohio last fall to FIJI the
seat Of the deceased Congressman
Truax, SO they have now persuaded
the Democratic governor Of WASH
ington to allow the vacancy from his
state to continue for the remainder
Of the present Congress.
Enough seems to be enough, even
for the New Dealers. BY their tac-
tics they have displayed their un-
to have a test Of the
New Deal strength in pivotal Ohio
or on the Pacific Coast, territory TO
which Chairman Farley has boast

fusal to submit to a test in these
states portrays more strongly than

circles that Democrats would not !
be chosen if special elections we're
called to fill these two Democratic

TICK-TOCK
By Myrtle Blassing

In daytime hours my clock has such
A pleasant voice; its silver tone
Is company when I'm alone,
And then love its gay tick-tock-
A friendly comrade is my clock.
But in the wakeful midnight hours,
Its pleasant voice grows harsh and
deep,
And jeers at me. Cant sleep, can't
sleep.
Until my very senses rock
A taunting demon is my clock.

TO A PIGEON ON A CITY STREET
BY Anderson N. scruggs

by AhueFSOu vi. ocfuBSs
These were not meant for y0u-these
streets that run
Like metal streams, barren on either
side,
Fringed by no leaves that glitter in
the sun,
Untouched by intimate moss that
strokes the tide
To momentary whirIs of peaceful
ness.
You who have lived in guttered trees
of stone,
Never have known green hills, nor
can you guess
What lies beyond the traffic's swirl
and groan.
Hardened by circumstances, you
bravely go
Between the perilous wheels to seek
a crust
Cast down by chance. Seeing your
plight, | know
How God must feel when men for
sake the trust
He left in field and wood,-how He |
must pity
rhe living dead who ply the sterile
city.

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY A. A. PATTON,


NEW YORK, April 4.-Commodity
prices declined during the past six
days. extending the current slump in
the staple markets to seven weeks, dur
ing which time the Associated Press
weighted wholesale index dropped 60
per cent.
The close of the combined index on
Friday was 1886, new low for the
year. and compares with 7416 last
week and 7432 year ago, with 1926
as 100.
From the beginning of 1926 to date,
the index has fallen So per cent.
Among its components, only non-fer-
rous metals and industrial staples are
above the starting levels. other groups
showing wide losses-food, IL per cent;
live stock. 7 per cent: agriculture, 10
per cent; textiles, II per cent.
Farm Group Down.
Leading the downturn this week is
the agricultural group again, with
wheat contributing largely to its reac-
ton. Grain traders continue to feel
that the domestic crop of both Spring
and Winter wheat will be above con-
sumptive needs.
Corn, oats and cotton dipped slightly.
while rye managed to chalk up small
gain. These farm products, for the
most part, continue under the same
cloud of uncertainty regarding both
the moisture possibilities and the ef-
fectivenesS of the administration sub
stitute for the defunct A. A. A. that
has been present for some time.
Mixed live stock prices resulted from
a sizable setback for cattle, a small
betterment in hogs and an unchanged
lamb quotation. Specialists in the
animals hold that prices should con-
tinue loWer-that large shipments of
hogs in the early Summer will out
weigh the effect of continued small
receipts Of cattle and lambs.
Food prices we're irregular, with the
more heavily weighted flour, lard and
butter depressing the index, despite
advances in eggs, sugar and cocoa.
Textile quotations have been yielding
to the pressure of expanding inven-
tories during the past few months
This week wool, cotton cloth and silk
dropped.
Swing to Rayon Seen.
The high level of silk prices has
made it cheaper for goods manufac-
turers to use rayon. The swing to
rayon in women's wear this Spring is
held to indicate that either the price
of silk or its use will come down.
Commodities going directly into in
dustrial channels moved against the
trend. Tin resumed its slow rise.
Bituminous coal and lumber were
buoyant, while rubber fell back frac-
tionally.

NEW YORK, April 4.-Numerous

U. S. Governments. however, barely

Most of the Treasures ranged from
1-32nd higher to 1-32nd lower, while
some of the Federal farm mortgage
issues managed to creep up 2-32nds
and other indirect obligations leaned
slightly to the offSide.
News dispatches telling of decisive
victory for the Italian forces in Ethi
opia brought sharp recovery in the
Italian group in the foreign division.
The Public Works rs advanced 23s to
6li2, the government rs we're 2l4
higher at 7414 and gains of nearly
as much were shown in most of the
municipal issues.
In the corporate section extrme
firmness was shown by a selected
group of industrial issues brought into
favor by rising steel operations and
other current news developments.

CHICAGO, April 4.-Wheat prices
averaged higher today for new crop
deliveries July and September, but
lower for the old crop, represented
by contracts to be settled during May.
Leading trade authorities said that
unless there is pronounced change
IN the United States crop outlook,
holders of May will hesitate to accept
tenders of wheat at anything like
existing premiums for May over July.
Meanwhile liquidation of May hold
ings continued, and recent short
sellers were generally reversing their
market position as to new crop
months owing somewhat to expected
seeding delays in the Northwest.
Wheat closed irregular, 5 lower to
"a higher: May, 94-94ls; July, 841s-
Il; corn, i off to Il up; May. 597s-
so; oats unchanged to 1s decline. and
provisions unchanged to rise of 7
cents
May wheat here was under constant
liquidating pressure. and sold at the
lCNCl cl1llC ldob oCPGCIl-
ber. At one time the market for May
rallied to even with yesterdays close.
Buying that accompanied the rally
was attributed to Eastern sources.
Weakness of Winnipeg quotations,
however, with new season lows there
caused enlargement of selling of May
in Chicago and brought about a
late setback for that month. Export
takings of Canadian wheat were
apparently small.
Indications pointed to sharp COM
petition at Liverpool between Cana
dian and Australian wheat Gables
said No. 3 Canadian Spring wheat is
being offered in Liverpool at parity
with July.
On the other hand, Chicago new
crop futures were firm from the start.
There were advices of high winds,
dust storms and freezing temperatures
hampering domestic wheat growth
in the Southwest Furthermore, In
diana and Ohio dispatches said wheat
between Warsaw and Lima is sickly
from Winter damage and is below
expectations.
Corn, oats and rye took their cue
almost entirely from behavior of
wheat.
Provisions scored late upturns, in
huenced by prospects of only light
receipts of hogs next week.
