They bid may prices up to $119%,
which beats the record price attained

operate most of the time in Wall street.

excited, the brokers declared it was
nothing to where May might be expect-

Predictions of $3.50 wheat are now
heard on all sides, while there are
many in the trade who think that
nothing short of 50 bushel will be ac.
cepted by Gates and his followers for

TO PROTECT PUBLIC LAND.
The Government Committee Favors
Changes of Laws.

The public lands committee. which
has been considering the advisability
of changes in the land laws, has com
pleted its report. The report will be
submitted to the president at once. II
makes important recommendations de-
signed to remedy existing abuses.
The abuse and evasion of the timber
and stone act, whose repeal or sweep.
ing modification is urged repeatedly in
government reports, and the commute.
ton clause of the homestead law are
discussed, and it is believed that the
repeal of the former and the modif.
cation of the latter so as to require a
prolonged and substantial residence
on the homestead acquired, instead
of the present short period, are rec
commended. The question of control
of the grazing lands of the govern
ment is considered at length.
1t is estimated that there are 300.-
100000 acres of land in this country
apparently fit only for grazing Dur.
poses, and designs are recommended
to prevent the constant destructive
work perpetrated on these lands by
trespassers and to prevent the fire.
quent conflicts over public grazing
lands among different classes of stock
men.
One of the recommendations is that
the land laws and their administra-
ton be left in the hands of the interior
department; another provides for con-
gressional legislation turning over the
grazing privileges on the public do
main to the department of agriculture.
with ample safeguards and protection
to the actual settler.
The report goes into a number of
other matters with a view of protect
ing the immense public area of the
country. The commission consists of
Commissioner Richards of the general
land office, Clifford Pinchot, chief of
the forestry bureau of the department
of agriculture, and F. H. Newell, in
charge of the irrigation work of the
department of the interior.
