By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, February 25.—Despite an early show of strength, the wheat market today soon underwent a de- cided setback. New crop deliveries displayed the most weakness, plenti- ful moisture for domestic Winter wheat being a bearish factor. On the other hand, it was contended that prospective steady exports of durum wheat would indicate larger de- creases hereafter in the United States visible supply, and that July dellvery in this country is on a good export relationship, .even aside from chances of crop scares and exhausted reserves. The opening, % lower to % higher, May (new), 1.67% to 1.67%, and July, 1.44% to 1.45%, was fol- lowed by a moderate general advance and then by a drop to well below yes- terday's finish. Damp weather and scantiness of corn receipts led to higher prices for corn. After opening unchanged to 5 up, May, 79 to 7914, the corn mar- ket scored material gains. Oats sympathized with corn. Start- ing unchanged to 3 higher, May, 41% to 41%, oats prices continued to harden. Influenced by lower quotations on hogs, the provision market was weak. GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

P. SHAEFFER. The first month of the present fiscal year of the Washington Gas Light “Company proved a banner period, according to - statement of earnings filed today with the Public Utilitles Commission. Net corporate income for the month, the statement showed, amounted to $108,654, an in crease of about $17,000 over the cor- responding period of last year, itself one of the most prosperous months of the year. The gain in net was effected de- spite an increase in fixed charges, including taxes that jumped $6.000 to $31,317, and interest deductions that gained $4,000 to $46,053. Net corporate income for the month in- creased more than $22,000 to $534.512, with operating expenses showing an adverse trend, lessening approxi- mately $5,000 to $346,489. Comparative figures for the George- town Gas Light Company for Jan- uary last with those for the same month a vear ago shows an increase of approximately $2,500. A net cor- porate income of $9,093 was reported for last month as against only $6 a year ago. Operating revenues of this subsidiary amounted to $64,017, with operating expenses of §49,786.

NEW YORK, February ber prices, which have been s declining since the first of the ve today broke as much as 2 cents pound for some options on the Rub ber Exchange of New York, bringing current prices 413 to 6 cents a pound below last week's closing levels. President F. R. Henderson of the exchange in a review of the situation attributes the softening price ten- dency to the conservation program of American manufactures following the marking up of the prices in Lon don last Winter to above $1 a pound for Spring delivery. This has been accomplished in two ways, by the larger use of reclaimed rubber and by the partial abandonment of a plan of extending credit until Spring on large quantities of tires shipped dur- ing the Winter months. Heavy liquidation for the account of London speculators has been an. other factor in the decline of prives. ey BUTTER UNSETTLED.
