April 7 Big export busings from North America, together with unexpected upturns In carnations at Liverpool led to higher jt.es Wednesday for wheat. The market clused firm at i cent to i cent ret Kn. corn li to I cent up. cats showing 1 to i cent rise, and revisions varying from 5 cents to an cuual advance. It was estimated that Wednesday's urchayes of North American wheat 'ere fullv l.IOO.OOO bushels, largely Canadian, but also a good deal from country.

Accompanying the "a(j, export demand, and the un- looked for display of strength in wheat at Liverpool was talk that both were associated tui-iuiyj developments in tnei situation. There were also predictions that Chicago stocks of wheat would be drawn upon for at the seaboard being cleaned up. Srantincss of primary receipts of irheat especially Southwest, counted as an incentive to buy, and so likewise did assertions that changes now In the domestic crop outlook would necessarily favor the holder. In this connection, some Kansas reports were cited -which told of severe wird and sand JrJrr.w. New crop deliveries.

Favorable conditions were also reported for adding operations In Canada. Com and oats tended upward with wheat. The lislit movement of corn from rural sources attracted special rotlce.

In the provision market, weakness of hog values was about offset by the strength of grains. 4 CASH GRAIN St. Louis Cash Grain till Oiiti ti Press. t'ORN No. 4 white.

Steel And General Motors Soar To Record Heights TOTAL SALES LOWER Bu Associated Press) NEW YOKK, April 7 Speculators fro the advance maintained control of the price movement in Wednesday's stock market in which IT. S.

Steel, common. General Motors, and numerous other Issues soared to newhigh records. Continuance of easy money rates, the announcement of a proposed declaration of a 20 per cent stock dividend on Pere Marquette, and the crossing of the million-car mark by freight car loadings for the third successive week, all helped -to create bullish sentiment. Total sales. while falling below those of Tuesday, were well over 2,000,000 shares.

The day's trade news was not entirely favorable, however. The Standard Oil company of New Jersey announced another reduction m'gaso-line prices, with the cut met by its principal competitors; and a sharp reduction In prices was announced on Pierce Arrow Motor car. Steel Strong; Steel shares displayed a strong undertone, with U. S. Steel, common, touching another new high at 1721.

Bethlehem was heavily bought on President Grace's prediction of early dividend payments, moving up Si points to 551, the best price In about two years. Republic, Ludum, and Gulf States each advanced about two points. Oils displayed a firm undertone in face of gasoline pries cuts, and unfavorable dividend rumors, but this was -explained by the excellent character of the 192C earnings reports now being published. Outside of General Motors, which advanced a point to a new peak at 184. then sold down to 1S21, and Pierce Arrow, which broke 3 'points to 84; the motor shares moved within relatively narrow and irregular limits.

Realize On EauiPrnent Realizing sales wiped out a substantial part of the early gains in the railroad equipments, which were bought in expectation of increased demands for rolling stock, and other material. General Railway Signal jumped over 5-points to a new high at 1201, and then fell back to 1168; Baldwin reacted from 190 to lS'ti. and Wcstinghouse Airbrake lost a point of an early t'arce-point gain Continental Baking was run up 5 points at the expense of an nhort interest, and sharp ian were recorded by Freeport, Texas, Gimbel Brothers, Marine, Manhattan Shirt, National Supply. Texas Gulf Sulphur, Western Union, and Woolworth, several of which reached new high ground for the year. On the other hand, renewed weakness developed in American trricultural Chemical, Klectric TTitn, nil Refrigerator anu in, j.

Kail Aiernge Higher The general railroad average was elevated to another new high level for the movement Southwestern carries made the best group showing, with new peak -Prices since 1925, or longer, being registered by Kansas City Southern, and "Katy common, and prefered. Pere Marquette rallied over points on tnc directors proposal to declare a stock dividend, but lost part of the gain. New York Central was heavily bought in the late trading, duplicating the year's high of T47i. Call money held steady at 4 per all day.

Time money and cam-mercial paper rates were unchanged. All the princiapl commodity markets were firmer. May wheat rallied over a cent bushel; cotton futures closed 11 to 12 points net higher, raw sugar was advanced 1-32 of a cent a pound, and coffee closed unchanged 5 points higher.

LOWER ASSESSED VALUE OF LAND Champaign County Assessors Vote 10 Per Cent Reduction CHAMPAIGN, April 7 A ten per cent reduction in the assessed valua tion of farm lands was voted by the Champaign county board of assessors in a recent meeting held In the court house in Urbana. For the first time In years all of the assessors were present and the vote on the reduction was 27 to 2. This tax reduction was the result of a survey made by the Champaign county farm bureau through Its 52 tax leaders. Approximately two men are appointed to act in tax work in each township by the community director of each farm bureau unit in the county. This spring these men, under the direction of the farm advisor, C.

Burns, and John C. Watson, director of the department of taxation of the Illinois Agricultural association, made a record of all bona fide sales of property in Champaign County be tween the last half of 1925 up to March 1, 1927. After these sales were recorded they were rechecked to make sure that no unfair examples were included, such as forced sales, gifts, etc. The sales were then divided into four classes: farm lands, village lots, Urbana lots, and Cham paign lots. Then the full valuations on the assessors books for each of these properties were secured.

The total of the full valuations of each class divided by the total of the sales values of each class to arrive at the valuation ratio. The results of the summary were as follows: No usable Total Full Total (sale Sales Class Valuations- Values 69 Farm Lands $426,698 994.359.27 67 Village lots 52,075 146.327.50 68 Urbana lots 90.330 289,195.00 115 Champaign lots 135,950 646.938.50 These figures were mailed out to the community director of each farm bureau unit with the suggestion that he and his tax leaders take them up with the assessor or. -assessors in the township or townships his unit cov ered. This was done in practically all of the units and when the assessors met they voted 27 to 2 to reduce farm lands, in spite of determined opposition on the part of the treas urer and assistant treasurer. RIGHT TO DEMAND TUBERCULAR TEST State May Call For Inspection If Disease Appears Present, Says Carlstrom tRu Associated Press) SPRINGFIELD, April 7 The state deDartment of agriculture has the right to demand that owners of cattle submit them to test for bovine tuberculosis if evidence tends to show that the cattle may be tubercular infected, Attorney General Carlstrom tells S.

J. Stanard, director of the department of agriculture. In his letter to the attorney gen eral, Stanard referred specifically to tubercular tests carried on in Mercer county, where more than 75 per cenL of the herds had been tested, and a small number of cases of bovine tuberculosis found. Owners of other herds, however, had refused to allow the state department to test their cattle. A Misdemeanor The laws provide, Carlstrom said, that where 75 per cent, of the herd owners had submitted to the test.

and evidence showed that tuberculosis might be expected in other herds, owners of untested herds refusing permission for the test could be fined for misdemeanor. This, however, did not mean that owners could he forced to submit their cattle to the test; only that a fine could be levied against them for the misdemeanor. Director Stanard pointed out that a fine.dld not protect owners of tested herds, which might become infected from the untested cattle. In the absence of a specific -law, the attorney general based his rul ing: on supreme court decisions of other states, which held that tuberculosis was a menace to' not only bovine but human health, and therefore constituted a nuisance. State laws provide that the state department of agriculture could act in cases of nuisance; and therefore on this basis officials of the department could file a bill of complaints to force owners of untested herds to submit to the tests.
