’ } cy) h ——s , THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1925 ' MARKET NEWS Wire Markets By Asgociated | WHEAT FALLS IN TRADING Suffers Setback After a Weak Start go, March 5.—(By the. A. P.) —Wheat underwent further setbacks | today after a hesitating start. For | a while the market showed a disposi- tion to rally owing to the fact that the Liverpool market held compara- ly steady in the face of yester-| ay’s big break in prices on this side| of the Atlantic. Indications of ex- port business overnight tended also to lift values: but gelling by houses with eastern connections proved to be of much greater volume ‘than could be readily absorbed, and May dropped to ,$1.89 1-2. The opening which ranged from 1 1-4 cent de- -4 cent advance. May $1.92 92 3-4 and July $1.69 1-4, was followed by a rise to $1.93 1-4 for May and then by a pronounced gen- eral setback. Export business said to aggregate $1,000,000 bushels rallied the wheat et today in the late transactions. Dry weather reports from the south- west @nd west counted also as a strengthening factor. The close was unsettled at the same as yesterday’s finish tg 1 1-4 cents higher. May $1.93 1-4 to $1.98 3-4 and July $1.69 1-2 to $1.69 3-4.

In all fairness to Mr. Black, we again want to call the attention of this House to the fact that Mr. Black on the stand continu- ally reiterated to the committee and | its counsel that almost all of the work in connection with the Richland county and Sargent county projects had been done under the previous administration, and that he was not familiar with the details, and did not know what had been done with ref- erence to those projects; but that in spite of these repeated declara- tions by Mr. Black, the committee continued to ask him questions. that CHICAGO PRODUCE ago, March 5.—Poultry alive Butter ‘higher.

Sample grade . had to do with the details of the former Highway Commission and the former state engineer, Mr, Robinson, which from the very necessity of things were not within the knowl- edge of Mr. Black, and any state- ments that he would make with ref- erence thereto must necessarily have been hearsay; and it is not surpris- ing that there were many questions asked him concerning the former ad- ministration which he could not an- swer and concerning which he did not have that positive knowledge that would qualify him to testify as to those instances. call the attention of the legislature to the fact that continually during the hearing Mr. Black was interrupt- ed and not permitted to make the explanations that he evidently desired to make; in other words, that the attitude towards Mr. Black assumed by the counsel for the committee was that of trying to trap him and ask him unfair questions rather than giving him an opportunity to explain. As far as we observed, Mr. Black was courteous to the committee throughout the entire hearing, and made an. honest endeavor to produce all facts and documents requested by the committee. We find that Mr. Black is an ef- ficient engineer, that he is a gradu- ate in the course of engineering, that he has wide experience in that profession, and has a good record as an engineer in the army of the Uni- ted States; and we find nothing from the testimony that has been intro- duced before this committee that can condemn Mr. Black of the Highway Commission; and find that the only matters of any criticism at all are matters of mere irregularities that may and usually do occur in any de- partment of the state government. We further find that during the years 1923 and 1924, under the ad- ministration of the present Hignway Commission, 918.25 miles of roads in this state had been constructed and accepted, and that in addition to that during those two years the pres- * PHILLIPS’ MILK | OF MAGNESIA Unless you ask, ‘tak FOPPAINps ” you may not get. the origi il Magnesia preseribed, for 50 years as an’ feorrective. ~ 26-cent bottles, also 60-cent bee ‘les, contain: directions—any drug — Aa. caused ed by the prior administratign in s |this committee outside of the mi And we further |° ent commission has graveled 43 miles of road in the state, and that during the six years previous to this aking office, there was les of road construct: pted in this state, and 67.93 miles of road graveled under the Highway Commission; so that in the last two, years the present High- way Commission of this state has the construction of “more ays than had been accomplish high years.
