Grain dealers from Texas. Oklahoma, Kansas. Nebraska, Missouri and Illinois appealed te-day to the Home Agricultural Committee for Ic-glsjatlon reimbursing thetn for loaaea claimed to aggregate in 1617 due to the fact that the price of wheat fixed at ao ents less than the current market price. Herbert C. Hcovr, former Food Administrator, and Julius Barnes.

President of the Government Grain Corporation, were declare! ty the dealers to be responsible for the lorses. "We used every diligence to find out the attitude of ftr? grain corporation ami the Food AdWnlslratlor. but got littla infoimatlon." declared B. E. Clements, President of the Texas Grain Dealers' Association, and spokesman for the dealers the six Kin tea.

"We were told that there was no authority for fixing the price, but after it was fixed we were told that we ousht to have known that they -were gains to tlx the prite. Congress would never have enacted the food contri! law if it knew that price-fixing was planned." Mr. Clrmer.t said the grain dealers had vainly oAkeri an indorsement of their proposal by Mr. Barnes, who told then: that they 'ought to have known" that a price v.t,s to have been fixed by Ihe Government. "We showed hlnj letters from Mr.

pHcJ of bread No action was taken by tne committee. INCREASE IN CONFIDENCE rnercnanaise activities, as recorded by th r- i viwn vwaiiujf X1UUTC, confidence is increasing steadily in all sections of the country and the wise manufacturer and wholesaler who was a little under the peak price which ha ben offered for the past six or im raomui, naa oenentea accordingly. Purchases by retailers from wholesalers In their increased activity show that merchandise is in demand, but the conservative placing of orders shows that the price must be right before orders are placed. Indebtedness shows an Increase over week and last year In all except North Agricultural Section, but It la not increased in proportion to the increase in coats of merchandise. Payments are good in most lines, but the merchant who speculated will find It difficult to move much of his stock in time to meet maturities.

Those who did their usual conservative and wise buying will. no doubt. be able to strengthen themselves financially through their sales.

raiJUUinA-UVRRinoi- DEY HErTeHEHDUM BABTIED. Baa CaL. April 1. The Sunreme rmirf sf rallrni-el. dismissed a.

Betitina ts h.n r. endum.on the prohibition amendment9 to tbe Federal constitution submitted to the voters of ihe state. The peti tion alleged that the act of Congress- in specifying that tha amendment bx. ratifled by the Legislatures of thre fourths of the states prevented th state- from prescribing a different ,1 I rgtliylog power, -e. tonnes or orders on their book Uiea waa over before known.

There are two good reasons for this. Th consumer bought Iron early because he feared could not get It If waited: and econd, he bought when Iron waa obtainable because ha had the beat of reasons to bailors that later on Iron would bo- higher In price. It looks now aa if price would not kept down. There has been a sroet effort to hold prices lavoL But haro comes an advance In th wafts of eoal miners, which mean an increase In tha cost of making coke. That means aa Increase in the coat of making Iron.

Be far this year thr haa not been on alngl element entering into tho cost of manufacturing Iron that ha declined. On th contrary, labor, or, coke, limestone ar all -higher, and railroad freights can hardly be kept down in th face of tho general rising tendency. Coke Is in exceedingly short supply dsnserously so. The war stopped th building of by-product cok ovens, ao that th development of tho cok producing plants haa not kept pace with th other unit of th Iron Industry. Several largo by-product plant aj now being built, other ar projected, and all ar urgently needed.

Buying continue brisk, limited by th amount of iron free to sell. And price are tho maximum ef Quotations. Many inquiries ror larg lots of basic and for Northern foundry Iron of particular analysis so becsing- The record of th Iron trade ta that Jf rat Industry, which haa much busineaa offared that it ronld ran ia per cant full and still not do all there ta to bo don. Tha opportunitioe are greater than tha factlltie. Sometime It em aa if the whole Iron business were betns reconstructed there 1 uch a development of new thlnrs.

And aa time goes on It seams aa if every modern denarturo muni larger use of Iron. Power a fw vsara ago waa generated mainly by steam engines There ara more ateam engines than aver before, but there ar a dozen gasoline to on steam engine. No farmer who Is up to date but has his power plant, with a gasoltn engine aa Its ba. Th hotel ued to have one bathroom to a floor. The hotel that is up to data haa a bath tub for every room.

The expansion of tho oil fields takes ao much pip Una that tha pipe makers ara months behind On their orders. And so it goes. It la an amplification of th proceaa that began whan tho wooden ahip yielded to th Iron hip. that made rail fencea obsolete when wipe fences were Invented. And tho automobile now cornea using Iron In a year to the extent of some hundreds of million dollar.

So it does look as If th man who waa counting on tho Iron trad to suddenly so to piece waa not tatkina the fact Into consideration. Sogers, Brown Co. While tha tonnage of pic Iron placed during the past week haa been aomewhat heavier. It haa not been at all startling, though satisfactory to tho producer. The lota have ranged up to 3.000 tona and cover practically all grades and deliveries.

Whll top prlc have not been advanced. tho.ee who have been selling at lower lvla ara catching up with what Is really considered to be the market, tha. Is $44 Northern furnace for Iron with atllcon l.tf to 2. 24 per cent. Mora marked than actual tonnage figures haa been the Increasing sentimental gain, especially In the East.

Buyers are Hoovarizlng. that Ik. while not energetically campaigning. It cannot be said that they are not showing a keen interest. Inquiry develop the fact that a airable tonnage atill remains uncovered for aerond quarter and much greater amount, for the third and fourth quarter.

Th car supply ha Improved materially and furnace ara making better progress in living up to contract specifications. Intereat in coke has rather overahadow- ed the pig iron market. While the an riouncement that Government regulation of pricea ceased on March 31 will enable th producer to plan for the future more confidently, they are aomewhat at a losa to their cost for the last half of this year, consequently, they are having difficulty In determining pricea which must be secured to meet tbe wage advance and other Increase in costs. There haa been an insistent demand on the part of the STEAMSHIPS.
