Chain of Monuments to British Heroes Encirle Globe MAY WHEAT SOARS ON WINNIPEG MARKET ChicagoAlso Rising Shows s Rising Prices in Wheat, Rye and Other Grains.. A despatch from Winnipeg says:- 1 Speculators in privileges had their in- nings on Friday, when both wheat and oats went through the prices' at which "offers" were freely sold on the privi. g lege market at the close of the regular e session 'on Thursday. May wheat, - after opening 14 cents to 2% cents higher than Thursday's close, reached • a high. nark of $1.70, and closed at $1.6835, for a gain of 3,- cents. Oata, May option, reached a high, for the ' day, and for the present movement, of 53% cents, closing at 53 cents bid, The movement in oats was apparently un- er•pected, as offers at Thursday's close were sold at 613: cents. The private crop reports, which aroused Friday's rampant bullish en- thusiasm in the wheat pit, showed the United States to be practically on a domestic basis. Estimates of the win- ter wheat crop ranged from 444,000,- 000 bushels down to 427,000,000 bush- els, as compared with the :last Govt eminent estimate of 490,000,000 bush- els ushels early in April, A despatch from Chicago says:.= Wheat went soaring on Friday, due mostly to bulUsh crop news, and closed well around the top prices, with the shorts scrambling to cover. Rye was a good second in the upgrade scramble while the strength in coarser grails pulled up the corn and oats also, Wheat closed with gains of from 6'st to 811 cents, while corn gained- 233 to 8 cents, oats at to 1% cents, and rye finished 6 to 5% cents higher. May wheat closed at $1.60, ;flay corn at $1.07f,, $fay oats at 41% cents, and May rye at $1.121'x, July wheat at the close was at $1.60, and was relatively stronger than the other grades. Local sales were 84,000 bushels of wheat, 21,000 bushels of corn, and 95,000 bushels of oats. Captain and One Man Saved When Vessel Ramaned by • U.S. Coaling °'Ship. -.. A despatch from Halifax, INS., says :-Five lives were • lost late Thursday afternoon when the Nova Scotia three -masted schooner, Cape D'Or, salt laden, Captain: C. 81. Wil- kie, hove to off Cape Le Have, was rammed by the former United States Shipping Board steamer Clackamas, Captain Charles McGuire, inward bound from Norfolk, \ irg}siia, with a cargo of 8,700 tons of coal. 'The Cape D'Or nose dived to the bottom three minutes after the impact, taking with her the entire crew, save one man who was in the ship's boat at the time Captain Wilkie, his mate, G'erah Rent, of Ostres Lake, Halifax County and Roy Dunsworth, of Eastern Pas- sage, Halifax County, were subse- quently rescued, • But the captain's wife, Margaret Leone, 11: his brother, St. Pierre Wilkie, single:' Peter Tobin and Justin Warren, both single, and both of Newfoundland, were drowned, Mrs..Wilkie's body being picked ug and brought ashore. _ After bruising about the scene of the disaster in an unsuccessful search for additional bodies, the 'Clackamas resume et voyage for Halifax.

Unaware of the commo- tion caused by her single faint call the Clackamas reached port and dock- ed early Friday .afternoon.

TRAFFIC AND ARMS CONFERENCE OPENS Forty-two Nations Take Part in Most Important Conven- tion Since Versailles. Geneva, May 3 -Arrival in Geneva of more than 200 delegates, experts and observers from forty-two nations bears out League of Nations predic- tions that the Traffic and Arms Con- ference, convening Monday, is the most; important international conven- tion since the Versailles Conference. Theoretically the purpose of the conference is to redraft the defunct St. Germain protocol which empower- ed the League to supervise and regu- late international traffic in arms. According to League statistics the Japanese arms trade -hi China is very heavy and if it is threatened the so- called rapproachment between' the United States and Japan, which flow- ered during the. opium conference will become" an illusion. Bringing up the question would be a challenge to Sugi-i niura's statement that Japan would always be found standing beside the United States in a humanitarian movement. - Another. situation loaded with dyne- - mite is the attitude to be adopted by the Allies toward Germany, which, under theVersaillesPreaty, is pled- ged to accept the St. Germain or any subsequent treaty without recourse. (The St. Germain arms convention' is to be acted upon at the eonference.)- Also under the Versailles Testy Germany is forbidden to indulge in arms traffic;. nevertheless League t ' s atsstics show she has exported to the Majority of the Allies as well as Sweden, Norway, Holland, Denmark, Switzerland, Russia, Turkey and Spain. Germany's exportation of war material to Chili is second only to that of the United States, In 1922 she exported to China six times more than the United States, exceeded only by Britain and Japan.
