$150,000,000 six-month treasury certificates bearing interest at only per cent, says Theodore H. Price, editor of Commerce and Finance. Almost concurrently the Bank England reduced its rate to 4 per cent, and although the federal reserve bank statement showed no change In tho reserve ratio or otherwise the impression is strengthened that are In for a long period of easy money on both sides of the Atlantic. In New York the best commercial paper is salable at per cent, and eligible bank acceptances are quoted at while ninety-day banker' acceptances are readily marketable in London at per cent. An early reduction in the federal reserve rate for rediscounts is therefore confidently expected, some issues of Liberty bonds have sold at par or higher, the market for other bonds is described at "boiling" and both railway and industrial shares have been very responsive to rumors or announcement? that could be plausibly construed as bullish.

Sentiment at the stock exchange hap in fact become almost unanimously op- timistic.and the textile strike, the coal strike and a foreign trade statement foi March which shows an excess of exports of only $74,000,000 as compared with $134,000,000 in the same month last have been entirely Ignored. Turning from finance to commerce and industry tho most surprising item in the week's news is the domestic cotton consumption for March, which shows an increase when everyone expected a decrease as a result of the New England strike. The woolen industry has also been vigorated by an interview with Pvonl- dent "Wood of the American Woolf in which he stated that "we are. very brink of prosperity." His hi this "declaration is evidenced by tion of his company in ad woolen cloths by from 10 to 45 zi yard. Several leaders of the steel have expressed themselves in the B'ibric strain as to tho future of their business, and nearly all the steel fabricating plants are now at work.

Haw silk and silken textiles are also higher. Coffee has gone well above 10 cents a pound for May delivery. Sugar is firm, despite the bearishness of some trade authorities. The National Lumber Trade Barometer says that "production is not keeping pace with the demand" and prices are higher. Building materials have again advanced.

Bradutreet's estimates tho authorized expenditure for new construction In March at $234,000,000, as against $118,000,000 In the same month a year ago, and a serious shortage of, mechanics is reported from many of the larger cities. first half of April proves the most promising period since 1920 from many standpoints, sycial and commercial.

of Agriculture If it were possible ot write a personal letter to every grain grower iu Pennsylvania and siiow rim in dollars and cents the immense losses due to a lack of understanding of factors influencing the grades and constantly. the price of wheat, this subject at once would become the most discussed topic of conversation of Pennsylvania agriculturists. The result would be increased profit to the wheat growing in Pennsylvania from a slow death. In the western states where a large amount of wheat, corn and oats is shipped in interstate commerce, thus requiring the grain to be inspected and graded according to the Federal Grain Standards Act, the farmer has become thoroughly acquainted with the Federal Standards. The farmer knows if he has premium wheat he gets paid for premium wheat, and if toe is careless and raises and eells impure wheat it is discounted.

As a result of the regulations, the farmer, therefore, selects and treats his seed before planting and also he cleans hiu wheat before hauling it to tho market. He rotates his crops and cares for his lazid in order to have a minimum of weed needs and foreign material when tho grain is thrashed. Mis thrasher is asked to clean the wheat thoroughly when thrashing, for the fanner is aware thai when wheat is carelessly thrashed it will contain a large amount of foreign material nucli UK chaff, straw, dirt and weed seeds classed as "dockage" when the wheat is graded by the Federal Standards. Ho also has learned that a large proportion of the foreign material ordinarily cleaned out at tlie elevators as "dockage" is profitable to use for feed on the farm. What about the wheat grower in Pennsylvania? The fact that a very large percentage of cars of Pennsylvania wheat arriving at the terminal markets grades No.

4 or No. 5 or Sample Grade shows a lack of knowledge of the value of grading, especially since a great deal of the grain is of the quality of Grade No. 1 and No. 2, if care had been exercised in preparing it for shipment. Very often the country buyer, in or- lor to hold his customers, pays tho samo price for wheat irrespective of luulliy.

Ju order to protect himself 1'roin IOKB ho Uierei'oro pays les.s than market price for the bettor quality There is no incentive to the grower to lie earot'ul, no to produce a bettor quality and cleaner wheat, but more of a disposition to bo lax, and each year shows an in- croutiing spread of noxious weeds and of inseparable foreign material in Brain shipment. Many a fanner when asked why he dcrus not take care in eliminating tho rye, the cockle, the garlic and other foreign material will answer, "What's the use. 1 get just tho same price for it." If Pennsylvania in to hold is place as a wheat growing slate, something must be done. Tho Jirul step is for every farmer to become acquainted with the factors wliicli influence the quality and price of and secondly, to eliminate the factors which lower the price. The principal factors which influence the quality of grade of wheat are weighl-per-bujihel, the amount of water it contains at time of mar- keting, the amount of damaged kernels, the amount of foreign material, tho presence of Angonmois Moth or live grain weevil, or inseparable loiioH or cinders.

'lif Infliuuico of The value of "weiglit-per-bushel" or "tost weight" determinations as a rough means of measuring wheat quality lias long been recognized by the grain trade and millers, and ro- quiruments relating thereto are made in practically all grading rules. It is generally understood that clean wheat with a high test weight gives larger milling yields, and the results from many milling tests indicate that test weight and soundness when considered together are of far more value in apiiraisiug quality than when either is considered by itself. The minimum test weight for each grade is tabulated below: CO Iba. per bushel for No. 1 wheat 58 Ibs.

per bsuhel for No. 2 wheat 50 Ibe. per bushsl for No. 3 wheat 54 Iba. per bushel for No.

4 wheat 51 Ibs. pe-r bushel for No. 5 wheat Less than 51 Ibs. will grade wheat Sample Grade. W.
