o A LECGE COMNENTS O WHERT PRICE Any One Selling at Present Market Level Is Foolish, He Declares. + The statement that “any one selling. ‘wheat br cotton at the present market prices is foolish” was made yesterday by Chairman Legge of the Federal Farm Board when he was informed that wheat prices in some exchanges Wed- nesday had dropped below the level set by the board through its supplemental loans to co-operatives for advances to grower members. , “I don’t think there 5 any danger of wheat prices dropping below the loan level for any length of time,” the chair- man said. “As a matter of fact, it was only on certain exchanges it took place yesterday and I believe this was the result largely of the actions of specu- lative interests.” Legge said only a small part of the $100,000,000 set aside fer loans to grain co-operatives actually had been loaned up to the present time. One of the disturbing factors in the wheat situation, Mr. Legge said, was the lack of terminal facilities, although, he added, conditions were improving. He said the action of railroads in lift- ing the embargo at Galveston yesterday was an indication of easler conditions in terminal facilities.

Justice Harrison ruled, however, that | inasmuch as the verdict was in proper | form, even though it did not represent | what the jury intended, Moberg would be compelled to appeal to the Circuit Court for a reversal.
