Chicago, May 17.—Serious crop dam

effect today on the wheat market here.
.'Assertions were received that Hessian
fly was in every field in the western
part of the state and that heavy reduc
tion of yield could apparently not be
escaped. Frost over the spring crop
belt tended further to strengthen the
market. After opening hi off to a like

Corn scored with wheat. At first,
however, the market was heavy, owing

Daily Grain Letter,

Chicago, May 17.—Wheat—The con
firmaiion of damage reports, combined
with extreme bearishness on the part
of the majority of local traders gave an
irregular tone to the market but in the
long run the seller was compelled to
buy at higher prices. The real reason
of advancing prices was probably the
improvement in general feeling as re
gards political conditions, and this fac
tor of strength was supplemented by
the growing scarcity of cash wheat
despite the fact that the movement is
heavy and has been above normal,
Cora—The strength In wheat was
credited -wtlh advancing corn prices.
Xo good reason, could be seen for an
advance ty the local trade, so they
were disposed to sell on the theory that
present heavy stocks and continued
liberal primary receipts are bound
eventually to result In price reaction.
The figures are, as a matter of fact,
rather discouraging1 to those bullishly
Inclined. Seventeen million bushels of
corn at terminal points before the
after-planting' run ha3 really begun,
constitutes an obstacle, which, without
better demand both from domestic and
foreign sources, makes the possibility
of higher prices seem rather remote.
Oats—TJie May delivery "In all grains
was the- strongest, and ia oats, while
the net gain -was not large, the cur
rent delivery acted tight. The visible
supply as anticipated, sowed a large
lecrease and the total now is not quite
twice as large as that of the same
time last year. There is little corn

crop and the advance In today's mar

Buying by brokers thought to be acting
for cash interests was the principal

the buying led to the belief that cash

calves. Connecting to this barn ia a 30x60 ell containing two silos 20
feet in diameter by thirty feet high which afford silage storage for 100
head of cattle. One hog house 40x60, two chicken houses, one horse
barn. Two dwellings one six room., one eight room one inexhaustible
well from which water is pumped delivering it to ali buildings on the

handy steers, good business policy, in
view of the encouraging outlook in. the
trade, would seem to dictate the hold
lng of that kind.
Many immature cattle have gone
on grass to be held for weeks, and
this will likely mean no materially Wg
runs to interfere with the bullish trend
of affairs in the market.
Costs of beef to the killers have been
advanced to highest levels of the year
and advances in wholesale costs have
followed logically, altho ae yet there
is no recession of consumer call either
here or in the east. It is mainly the
cheaper cuts which have had price
boosts, but any material further ad
vance in top steers will naturally force
higher rates for the No. 1 cuts.
Whether the consumer can stand the
pace of higher costs on the butcher's
block is a question. While conditions
generally are more favorable than at
worst period of industrial depression a
few months ago. It Is still doubtful if
purchasing power of the public can be
expanded to meet the necessities of
sharply advancing cattle prices and not
effect a decrease in beef consumption.
Sheep.

Record prices for shorn and wool

pers outdistanced the 1910 record by
35 cents. Closing prices were at the
high point, as the market continued
upward ever since Monday. Shorn and
wooled offerings fared well thruout and
the light kinds got the preference.
Closing prices for shorn lots were
generally 50@75 cents higher and the
bulk showed 60@65 cents advance. Beat
wooled lots finished 80 cents above a
week ago, and the bulk showed 75 cents
upturn, altho odd natives were of a
class that showed less gain. Spring

man on early days, but on late days
were urgently sought after and finished
on a basis mainly 50 cents higher than
a week ago. What makes the new

The Sign's Request
Many a jest has been extracted
from signs by persons who do not

the wit belongs to the observer, and
the sign is merely a silent and pain

which it is put. "Occasionally, how
ever, tbe sign asserts itself. There

Hudson that is almost Olympian In Its

Tariff Bill Condemned.'
Xoteworthy among the slipshop
measures thus condemned wholesale by
the republicans" is the tariff bill. The
great trouble with the tariff bill, ac
cording to this view, is that it was so
clumsily executed that it has failed to
bring in the sum of revenue necessary
for governmental operation. "The fail
ure was caused by carelessness," de-
W|5
the republican committee lubi
"classic" la. the 5 per cent discount
clause in customs duties on merchan
dise Imported in American vessels.
This clause- is now before the court of
customs appeals for a decision as to its
meaning. This decision was requested
by importers who had appealed to the
board of general appraisers for a rul
ing on an order issued by the secre
tary of the treasury, this order being
based upon an opinion by Attorney
General McReynolds to the effect that
the provision was invalid. Had the
legal department of the government
been consulted by congress before it
drafted the bill, this embrogllo would
!iever have occurred. The democrats,
declares the republican committee,
"had a vague idea of what they
wanted, adopted a vague method of
trying to secure It, and by careless
guesswork threw the whole matter in
to the courts. Furthermore, even if
the principle of dlscriminatlon""had not
b«sen questioned by the attorney gen
eral, the provision was so clumsily
drafted that three different Interpre
tations- 'have been placed upon it.
Counsel for the -importers claimed one
interpretation, government attorneys
claimed another, and the board of gen
eral appraisers furnished a third, dif
ferent from all. During the debate in
congress' on this provision, republican
members repeatedly warned the demo
crats that,, quite apart from its policy,
its phraseology was meaningless and
should be corrected to become ef
fective."
Incoms Tax Imperfect.
The Income tax comes in for the
same kind of criticism and treasury
officials, according to authentic re
ports, are quietly at work on the la.?v,
outlining proper legislative action to
correct the errors. One of the most
vital provisions of the statute is at the
same time one of the most confusing.
This is the paragraph stating that "in
computing Incomes for the purposes of
the normal tax there shall be allowed
as deductions," among other things,
"losses actually sustained during the
year incurred In trade." The phrase
"in trade" Is at tbe bottom of the con
fusion, and apparently the courts must
decide this question Anally. The
treasury officials define trade as "that
which occupies and engaged the time,
attention and labor of anyone for the
purpose of livelihood, profit or im
provement that which is his personal
concern or interest, employment, oc
cupation, but it Is not nefeessary that
it should be his sole occupation or
employment." The republicans state
the point that whether this ruling,
which -is being bitterly, protested in
every part of the country, is wrong or
right, "it is the uncertainty of the
statute that reflects upon the intelli
gence of the political. party respon
sible for it."
