Chongesin Week

NEW YORK. March e.-Grains

commodity markets this week.
Cash wheat at Chicago advanced
as the grain for future delivery
climbed higher in furry of re-
ported professional activity, with
speculative interests which had been
oearish," switching to the bull"
side. There were reports of dry
weather prevailing in the West
and Southwest, but sharp climbs
on small volume led traders to
assume the activity was largely
professional.
Cash oats and rye stepped ahead
with wheat, but corn was q little
lower.
Cash cotton moved higher in sym.
pathy with advances in the futures
market following posting of higher
staple prices abroad. During the
week exports of cotton, exclusive
OF lnters, passed the 5000, ,OOO- bale
mark, or more than 100000 bales
larger than last season.

compared with 1894 a year ago.
Cash rubber, tin and linseed oil
tilted forward. Declining, however,
were coal, steel scrap and turpen-
tine, and mark-downs in these COM
modities carried the industrial ma
terials component of the commodity
index to q new 1910 low.
Cash cattle and lambs rose in
Chicago livestock markets, lifting
the livestock component of the index
to q new high for the year, despite
. decline in hogs.
Cash wool was more expensive
In the textile division, while silk
was q little cheaper.
Among table food items, advances
were scored by butter. flour and

Sugar Planting Curb
Lifted Because Of
Crop Conditions
Western Floods Cited
Along With Drought
In Some Areas
1y the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Agriculture Department an
nounced yesterday change in its
1910 sugar beet production program
lifting previous planting restrictions
because of unfavorable climatic con-
ditions in several Western producing
States.
Under the change producers are
free to plant as large an acreage as
they may desire. Previously they
could plant the equivalent to that
planted in any one Of the three pre-
vious years, or up to 20 acres on ir-
rigated farms and up to 10 acres on
non-irrigated farms.
Thus, producers meeting wage
and other conditions of the depart
ments sugar program will be ell
gible for benefit payments on what
ever acreage they plant.
The department said that recent
Hoods in California and drought
conditions in some other States,
were affecting the beet crop ad-
versely and had thereby largely re-
moved the possibility that the 1910
crop would produce an amount of
sugar which, when added to current
supplies, would be more than is re-
quired to meet the continual beet
areas marketing quota and reserve
requirements.
The department also announced
that imports of sugar under the
quota system during the first two
months OF this year totaled SOL POI
short tons, raw value. Imports
charged against quotas of off shore
areas during the same period last
year totaled SGT ,281 tons.
Sources of these imports included:
Cuba, 239 ,202 short tons; Philippines,
13l 1888; Puerto Rico, 68,4l2; Hawaii,
b5,842, and foreign countries other
than Cuba, 5,757.
