WHEAT SCORES AN EARLY RISE TODAY Corn Also Opens Higher But Oafs Arg Unchanged —_— Chicago, March 19.—Wheat soar- ed an early fresh advance in price today. Brisk buying on the part of commission houses was the rule, with attentlon turning largely to prospects of difficulty of obtaining sufficient supplies to fill outstanding contracts for May delivery in Chi- cago. Opening quotations, which varied from the same as yesterday's finish to a rise of 2 1-4, with May 162 to 163 and July 144 to 1443, were followed by fluctuations that carried May up to 165. Corn, opening at 1-4 to 1 cent higher, May 119 1-4 to 119%, re- acted a little and then climbed again. Oats started unchanged to % cent up, May 45 to 45 1-§. Later, there were moderate general gains.

TO PROBE Tnvestigated at Orice Washington, March 19.—Instruc- tions to examine the hooks and trad- ing records of all grain exchanges {in the country and those of a num- ber of were sent to- day by dine to field agents of the grain futures adminis- tration. The action constituted the agricul- vestigation of the causes of recent violent fluctuations in the price of wheat, The orders went to Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and other points. The names of the brokers whose books will be inspected were not disclosed. The examination will cover trad- ing accounts since the price decline began a few Ays Ago. The ultimate cxtent of the scru- tiny will depend on the nature of its preliminary findings. Records of the exchanges and brokers are expected to show plain- Iy whether buying and selling was the result of abuse of trading privi- leges. The right of the department to inspect such records is held to be established by the grain futures act. Officials here expect no objection. J. W. T. Duvel, in Chicago, acting chief of the grain administration, has been placed in complete charge of the inquiry. TRIO 13 HELD AS Cambridge Young Men Under Rrrest at Buffalo lo, N.
