CHICAGO, March 22.—Hogs:
CHICAGO, March 28.— Peace rumors,
had a decided bearish effect today on
wheat. The influence of continued dry
weather in the domestic winter crop
belt was soon more than counterbal-
anced by. selling due largely to reports
that Germany should offered favorably
terms to Russia, and that the German
chalcellorships tomorrow would con-
tain new peace suggestions. Word that
the amount of wheat on ocean passage
was iz excess of last year's total tend-
ed also to handicap the bulls. Opening
prices, which ranged from H to 1c
higher, with May at 21.94% to 21.95 and
July at $1.67% to 21.67%, were followed
by a sharp setback to well below yes-
terday's finish. ,
Corn sagged with wheat. After open-
ing unchanged the market underwent
a moderate* general decline.
Oats took the downgrade with other
cereals.
Active call for lard carried the entire
provision list upward.

FOR A BAD COLD
NEW YORK, March 28.—High prices
ruled at the opening of today's market,
but the movement was mainly in spe-
cialties,"the most noteworthy- incident
being an extreme advance of 8% points
to 75 for Briggs-Seabury, one of the
minor munition issues. Standard
shares of the same group together with
other war supply stocks were higher by
fractions to over a point with marine
preferred and sugars.
Coalers were strong features of the
railway list with Union Pacific while
New Haven rose almost a point on re-
financing of maturing obligations.
Rails, motors, leather issues and
some of the less prominent specialties
enlivened the mid-session at extreme
gains of 1 to 4 points. Forenoon ad-
vances in maltings and Wilson Pack-
ing were materially increased with
greater strength in metals.

PARIS, March 22.—The statue of

"The city of Paris is happy to be
honored with such an offer in which we

tonal friendship.”

The Court of Criminal Appeals today
refused to reopen the case or Juan Mar- «

were convicted in the Travis County
Criminal Court of the murder of Eu-

to tile a second motion for rehearing.
Eugene Smith, a furmer who resided
। near Hornsby's Bend, was found in un-

NEW ORLEANS, March 22.—Nerv-
ous and irregular fluctuations resulted
in the early trading in cotton. Cables
were somewhat better than due and
the report of the loss of 50,000 bales
by fire in Russia had a stimulating
effect on the demand. The better
weather over the eastern half of the
belt, however, encouraged selling. Af-
ter a rise of 2 or 7 points on the near
months there was a fall to a net loss of
2 to 9 points. At the end of the first
half hour of business prices were 10
points up to 4 points off net.
The market became very irregular
owing to extensive straddle trading be-
tween the old ann new crops, July be-
ing bought against sales of October.
For a while the trend was upward and
in the trading up to noon the market
at its highest sood 18 points over to
1 point under the close of yesterday.

NEW YORK, March 28.—The action
of the cotton market during today’s
early trading again reflected the con-
flicting infiuenees of a strong spot po-
sition and the more favorable view of
the weather from a new crop stand-
point. The opening was steady at an
advance of 2 points to a decline of 3
points and active months sold 4 or 5
points net lower right after the call
under liquidation. Old crop positions
steadied around 18.79c for May, how-
ever, and later sold 7 to 9 points net
higher, while the new crop barely re-
covered the early losses .Switching
from hear to late months was again the
feature with spot houses buyers of
May and July. The new crop met re-
newed Wall Street liquidation and on
the Eastern belt forecast for fair and
warmer weather.
Reporta that one of the steamship
companies had placed an embargo on
northbound shipments increased the
nervousness* of near months shorts
during the middle of the morning. Cov-
ering became more active and May
contractssold up to 19.05c or 2b points
up. May old crop buyers resold the
new crop positions, which responded
only partially to the near months ad-
vance with October selling at 18.05c, or
5 points net higher. Demand tapered
off around midday and theer were re-
actions of several points from the best
under realizing.
(Correspondence of Associated Press.)
LONDON, March 12.—"Five thou-
sand skilled American, farmers on
English soil would go a long way to-
ward combatting Germany's plan to
starve us into submission through her
submarines," Sir Arthur Lee, head of
the newly formed food production de-
partment. told the Associated Press.
"I told you recently," he continued,
"that we Intended to bring from Amer-
ica some two thousand traeters for
night plowing. We need the skilled
Americans to supplement them.”
Sir Arthur knows America. He mar-
ried an American girl, Miss Ruth
Moore, daughter of J. G. Moore. New
York, and he has spent many years
in the United States. He was Brit-
ish military attache with the United
States Army ’ during the Spanish-
American war. and late mlfltary at-
tache at the British embassy in Wash-
ington. He has seen service in the
present war. His present post is an
outgrowth -of the intensified subma-
rine warfare begun on Feb. 1. Sir Ar-
thur is charged With the gigantie task
of making every available foot of soil
produce Its maximum amount of food.
"I have great respect for the ability
of the American farmer,” said Sir Ar-
thur. "I have seen him at work and
I know that everything he does spells
efficiency.' That is why we would like
to have so many of him in the present
crisis.
"Your farmer has revolutionized
farming methods. Like the American
in all other walks of life he is con-
tinually on the lookout for a more ef-
ficient way in which to do things. The
result hs that he has the most modern
agricultural Implements in the world.
With these and his natural bent for
industry he gets the most out of his
soil.
There la no denyine that th. Amerl.

ricultural worid. All the rest or the

genius.
