THURSDAY, APRIL 25,1918. TRIBUNE FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT OFFENSIVE HAS NO PRONOUNCED MARKETEFFECT Inspires Caution But Other Re ports Mix Quotations on Securities New York, N. Y„ April 24.—Resump tion of German attacks on the western front accounted only in part for the mixed conditions which prevailed in today's stock market. The new Teu tonic offensive inspired caution, but. had no pronounced effect upon securi ties of recognized value. Automobile shares were subjected to severe impairment, the proposed heavy curtailment of production and uncertain dividend prospects of some of the better known companies caus ing recessions of two to five points on Studebaker, general motors and the several Maxwell issues. AVith the exception of Pacific mail, which was fairly active and strong, shippings displayed all their recent sluggish. Limited offerings and rails were slightly lower even Reading failing to hold it occasion advance. The few impressive gains were made by stocks obviously dominated by professional interests or pools. Am erican Sumatra tobacco established a new maximum on its rise of 4% to 100 and several of the chemical or fer tilizers share scored extreme gains of two to three points, international paper gaining four points. Equipments, coppers, oils, distillers' securities and industrial alcohol we™ temporarily higher, but for the most part surrendered to the active selling of the last hour. Gulf states steel add ed nine points to its recent advance, but seasoned industrials of that class, including United States steel, were unchanged or nominally lower. Totol sales amounted to 400,000 shares. Bonds were irregular, including the liberty group, while internationals eased on lighter trading. Total sales, (par value) aggregated $6,125,000. United States bonds, old issues, were unchanged on call. RAWWOOLWILL BE TAKEN OVER Government Fixes Quotations of Last July as Forced Pur chasing Basis Washington, D. C., .^pril 24.—The government has decided to take over all raw wool now held in warehouses at the price prevailing on July 30, lasL If holders do not agree to sell it at that price the wool will be corn mandecred. Wool that is now being clipped in the west also will be taken. The government will use a larger part of the wool for uniforms and will dis distribute the remainder among deal ers for civilian needs. The country's looms, forty percent oE^whose facilities now are engaged on government work, will be required to give sixty percent of their output to the government. Civilian consumers will get the remainder af government lixed prices. Major General Goethals, acting quartermaster general of the army, re cently sent notices to all the wool producing centers that 1018 clips should not be disposed of within the next thirty days during which tinie the government will determine its ex act needs. At the conference today the chief subject of discussion was the price of wool already under option by the government, and disposal of that held in warehouses by order of Major Gen eral Goethals, acting quartermaster general, issued several weeks ago. 1918 Wool Ordered Held. This order directed that wool clip3 of the 1918 crops be not dispose^ of for the next thirty days. It was learned that the price, fixed by the governemtn for the entire crop avail able would apply to this wool also and that the dealers have informally ac cepted this view. The Washington conference will be with the representatives of the Na tional Wool (Growers' Asociation, who have been here since Saturday. It is declared that the government has tak en the attitude that the interests of the growers are paramount and inti mation was made that the July 30 price was based on these interests. It is understood that the growers will be asked at tomorrow's meeting if they will accept that price basis volutarily. SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK. South St...

CLOSING IS UNSETTLED Provisions Unchanged Delays to Planting Force Rise in Corn Chicago, 1M., April 24.—Planting do lays and a falling off in arrivals inajde tho corn market today show consider able strength at times. l"he close was nervous, at the same as yesterday's finish to %c higher, with May 127% and July 14!)% to 149%. Oats lost a share to 1c net. In provisions, the outcome was unchanged to 45c lower. Government advices that planting ia the chief sections of th$ corn belt had been seriously interfered with by recent low temperatures rallied the corn market after an early advanced had been more than offset by sym pathy- with weakness which devekiocd in the oats trade. The initial gains by corn were described to an evident decrease in the movement from rural sources, and to a scarcity of offerings. On the late upturn, the principal de mand came from shorts. More favor able weather present and prospective, counted to set extent agannsit iujy important lasting advance. Refusal of exporters to foil wo up turns in the price of oats inspired much selling of that garin. Resides, messages from the east regarding the domestic distributing trade were very pessimistic as to the outlook for new buying in the next fortnight. Provisions gave way with hogs and as a result of increased packing in the west.

Big Problem at Great Lakes Great. Lakes, 111.. Anril 2T».—"Who's looney now," is the big problem at the psychiatric unit of the Great Lakes naval training station, according to an account of an incident published in the Great Lakes Bulletin, the official newspaper of the big establishment. The psychiatric unit is the branch of service where experts try to determ ine a man's mental capabilities by means of tests in which pictures, blocks, puzzles and similar articles C/lLDv THAT Box- Rism- tuepe: WILBUR NEVER STUDIED BOTANY Wilbur DIDNOO THAT5 VmAT 1 MTCMO To DO DOWN HFRE- BISMARCK EVENING TRIBUNE are used. The story relates that En dsn John Sharpy discovered an ex sleight of hand' performer among the recruits in detention. Mr. Sharpe seized the opportunity for some fun tie called the Psychiatric TJnit, askeil for Chief Yeoman ll)odds and said: "I have alpori,.|..an) going*to send over, lie is cjazf as a bat, so watcU out for him." Then luring to the sleight-of-hand man re remarked: "Co over and show ilii 111 a good time." When the "loon" appeared at Ihe unit, Dodds showed him a seat, hroughtout the various blocks and puz zles and started to find out whether his patient was born crazy or attain ed it later. "Take these blocks"—Dodds began. Hut the blocks had disappeared, liuai ncss of searching high and low, hut not blocks. Dodds registered consternation, ex citement, perplexity—but still no 1.locks. "1 think you will find them in your righ'L coat pocket,' said the man being examined. And sitre enough, there they were. Dodds tried again. "NOw here i« a nict.ure. loo'.- it it ten seconds and tell me about it." "Where is the picture".' This is only niece ol' paper." said .the mystery man. iwlrts replied, "I gave you a pic ture.'' "Mere'is what you gave me, sir." The picture was gone. Dodds was certain he handed it to the sleight-of hand man. "Did you look in the chair, sir?'* asked the "loon." Dodds found he was sitting on the very picture he had just handed the actor. Several things disappeared in like manner until it was suggested that someone certainly did need an exam ination—but not necessarily the sleight-of-hand man. When he left Dodds was counting blocks.
