Wheat for May and July De|iv:

Chicago, May 5.-July wheat on the
board of trade made a sensationally
bu]lfsh showing, advancing from s1.12
the low point of the day, to $1.16, at
which the market closed. This marked
a net advance of 3N cents. May

Bartlett, Patten & Co., of which the

May on a moderate scale, but with
making heavy purchases of July.

CABINET DISCUSSES CASE

Announced That Mr.. Taft Intends to
Devote Much Time This Summer t
a Study Of the Question of Corpora
tion Control, the Recent Supreme
Court Decision Having a Bearing on
the Investigation.
Washington, May 5.-The decision
Of the supreme court of the United
States in the cas of the Commodities
clause" Of the Hepburn railroad rate
law was discussed at the cabinet
meeting. President Taft repeatedly
has announced that he intends to take
up and study the question of the con.
troll of corporations during the sum-
mer months and the Commodities
clause" decision undoubtedly will have
& distinct bearing on his considera-
:tion of the matter. 1t was said that
MIR. Taft will devote himself largely
to the subject Of recommending to
congress the passage of legislation
which will prevent the possibility of
an evasion of the clause by the coal
railroads.
Under the decision of the court the
railroads can carry coal for any COM
pany which they do not own outright.
Through holding companies, however,
they could control the mines and the
transportation of the output as though
no law on the subject existed. To
remedy the act in this respect will be
the question to which the president
will first direct his inquiry.
Mr.. Taft also will have recommen-
dations to make as to legislation tend
ing to bring railroads and other cor
porations more definitely under gov
eminent regulations.
