SENDS PRICES DOWN Stop-Loss Selling Sends Corn Down Almost to Season's Bottom Record Chicago, Feb. 16—(7)—A decided increase making the United States wheat visible supply loom large Coat | pared with a heed ago served to pan prices further down Monda: ie increase for the week was 2,078,- 000 bushels to an aggregate of 194,- 053,000 against 159,052,000 at this time last year. Corn visible ae also increased, and stop-loss selling car- Tied corn down to almost the season's bottom-price record. Wheat closed nervous, unchanged to 1%c lower, May (old) 8244 to %sc, July 68%. to 4c, corn 1 to 4c off, May (old) 64, to Sec, July 65% to jac, oats %s to “kc down, and provisions varying from 5c setback to a shade advance. i Good rains in Oklahoma and Texas, together with scattered downpours in Kansas, encouraged sellers of wheat, as pointing to a better outlook for the 1931 domestic winter crop. No moisture was reported in Nebraska, but the forecast pointed to rain to- night. Increased uncertainties re- pienrg disposal of big holdings of wheat, farm board allies were also.’ a beal factor. | More than 10,500,000 bushels in- crease of the amount of wheat on ccean passage was shown as compar- ed with a year ago. The total afloat was 51,416,000 bushels, against 42,- 224,000 at this time last week. Tend- |C ing also to handicap friends of higher prices was word that Australian gov- ernment promises of an export wheat bonus were not unqualified, but de- pended upon future financial condi- tions. Large receipts of corn here, 330 cars, acted as a weight on corn and oats. . Provisions reflected upturns in hog values.

As the bill recommending an ex- tension of this levy for four addition- al years came up for adoption, H. F. . | Swett, Nonpartisan, raised a question : about the last two lines in the meas- ure, which specifies Bismarck as the capital. J. A. Jardine of Cass, chair- man of the tax committee, said his {committee was aware of the lines in the bill but left them in as it was only the premise on which the committee had to work. W. J. Flannigan of Jamestown sug- gested that the proper wording be “at the seat of government.” Gordon. Cox, Bismarck, said the original bil! of 1929 specified Bismarck as the capital city and there was no reason for changing that wording in the measure now. Should. Jamestown be Successful, Cox said, in its efforts to obtain the capital it would require a Special legislative session and the bill could be amended at that time. Cox added he doubted greatly if James- town would ever be the capital of! North Dakota. Mrs. Minnie D. Craig of Benson, Nonpartisan, sought to have the bill referred to general orders for the Purpose of amending the part in question, but her motion was unsuc- cessful and the bill was placed 6n the calendar for today. Calls Twichell to Task ous discussion in the house chamber Was one appropriating $300 to pay L. J. Wehe, Bismarck attorney, for al- leged services rendered in 1919. The Proposal has been up at almost every Session since that time. O. E. Erickson, Kidder county, Non- Partisan leader, said “this is the same old Wehe bill” and recommend- ed that it be disposed of once and for all by paying Wehe for services rendered to an investigating commit- tee at the 1919 session. L. L. Twichell of Cass, Independent ieader, said Wehe was a commissioner of the workmen's compensation bureau at the time and volunteered his services. Furthermore, Twichell said, it was il- legal to pay Wehe for the job as he already was receiving a salary. from the state. Swett supported the bill, pointing out that if it had been paid at the outset the state would have been ahead as it cost a great deal for the | Printing of each bill introduced and the time wasted by the legislature. | Twichell said this was a fallacy and | under such logic it would be advisable \for the leigslature to acquiesce to “every fool bill” introduced. Mrs. jCraig severely reprimanded Twichell, isaying “you had better watch out {about your statements and not call | anybody a fool.” | Mrs. Craig vehemently declared that if Wehe should be paid twice by the state while holding two state jobs, “it would not be the first time this has occurred” and is happening “even The majority report to kill jthe measure prevailed, however. See Guide Card Agreement polling booths, was re-referred to committee. Twichell said there was some indication the two poltical fac- 3| tions could come to an agreement on 2 jthe measure and thus assure its pass- age after some amendments. The bil? was a subject of dispute in the house Friday. Bills appropriating $25,425 for the| state school for the blind at Bathgate | and $104,034 for the state normal and industrial school at Ellendale were Passed, as was one providing for col- lection and arrangement of a North Dakota exhibit at the world’s fair at Chicago in 1933. Measures repealing 0|the law establishing the prison re- volving fund, providing for a lien upon any automobile, engine, thresh- ing machine or well machine for re- pair services rendered, allowing sale of property acquired by the county through tax deed on the installment plan and permitting licensed, though un-ordained ministers, to solemnize marriage. Nine additional bills were intro- duced. Chief among these ‘were two measures providing for creation of {criminal bureau fund and appoint- ment of a superintendent of the bu- reau and two assistants. Offer Egg-Grading Bill | Another measure provides that eggs shall be graded and classified by weight instead of size. A barber bill, very similar to one introduced in the senate and which reached the house also appeared. It permits the gover- nor a free hand in appointing the three members of the board of bar- bers examiners, but requires that one member at all times shall be a jour- neyman barber. M. H. Holte of Gardner introduced @ measure which would require every sheriff or deputy sheriff's car to carry a siren to announce its presence ana provides a penalty for others than sheriffs using such a sounding device. The house adopted without argu- ment a recommendation for indefi- nite postponement of a bill extensive increases in the state in- come tax rate. Committee reports recommending Mor passage bills appropriating $35,000 for a bridge acroses the Red river connecting Traill county and ‘Norman county, Minn., and $159,695 for the Dickinson normal school also were adopted by the house without ques- tion. Sealed bids will be received by the school board of Naughton School Dis- trict No. 25, Burleigh County, N. D. until 2 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 19, foi two school buses and drivers.
