Chicago, Feb. 24.-Wheat-A re-
versal in form was the feature in the
wheat market today. Lower cables
and heavy worlds shipments encour-
aged local bears early in the day and
prices reacted to A@% cent below
Saturdays final figures. Upon the ap-
pearance Of the visible supply, which
showed decrease of nearly 1,400, 900
bushels, as compared with $4,000
bushels a year ago, the market rallied
and, at the close, was "a TO Il cent
higher. Total domestic stocks are now
81, 800, 900, or about 100000 less than
year ago. Export business WAS at a
standstill and shipping demand for do
nestle was slow. Primary receipts
were heavy, but were figured on the
basis of two and three days and no
comparisons were possible on account
Of the holiday last year. The market
appears in a trading position and. in
the absence of some of new bulltsh
feature, a setback seems rObable.
Corn-Corn followed much the same
course as wheat, declining earl on &C
count Of heavy receipts and lack OF
improvement in cash deman3 Despite
the fact that the movement has been
considered far in excess Of require
ments, the visible supply shows a de-
crease of $4,000 bushels, as compared
with an increase a year ago Of 2,344,Ooo
Total supplies now amount TO 17.5oo,-
900 bushels, which is only a million
more than those Of year ago.
Oats-Short covering caused an ad-
vance of u TO x cents, altho there was
| little change in the situation except
| that corn was strong. Demand for cast
oats was a little broader than recently
and despite the fact that corn was
lower, oats hold steady at Saturdays
| prices.
Professionalism easy hog market
| Yesterday and today caused early iqul'
dalton and moderate break IN values
Investment demand for ribs and port
caused a recovery of the loss and thu
market for these products closed at
small advance. Lard. however, was
easy. General severe weather is caus'
ing a better inquiry for cash meats
Receipts are not expected to continue
in large volume.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-Generous snow
covering that affords protection for
the winter crop brought about lower
prices today for wheat. Besides cables
were a disappointment for bulls. The
European visible supply showed an in
crease and there was heavy gain in
the amount of wheat on ocean passage.
The opening was unchanged to Is
lower and later there was gradual
moderate decrease all around.
Kansas and Nebraska reports that
ice covered many fields before the snow
came and that much wheat might be
smothered, led to a rally, which was
aided by decrease of the visible sup
ply total and by rumors of export sales.
The close was steady, Is to Is and n
net higher.
Corn weakened with wheat and as
a result of large offerings in the sam
pie market. Prospective leSsening Of
receipts, however, steadied prices at
ter short time. The opening was
unchanged to 4 and "a cent lower
with transactions afterward chiefly at
the bottom level.
Better feeding demand gave the bulls
the advantage in the last hour. The
close was steady at an advance OF a
and Is to Il.
Oats.
Country buying made the oats mark
ct relatively firm. Selling pressure
was light.
Provisions.
Provisions dropped because OF lower
prices for hogs. First transactions
were 2h to 5 and ~ cents down and
there was an additional subsequent
setback.

NUMBER OF AGENTS
 SHOULD BE LIMITED

Little Rock, May 2S.-That a multi plicity of agents is bad for the fire insurance business is the decision reached by the annual convention of the Local Fire Insurance Agents As sociation of Arkansas. President Guy F. Tompson of Marianna advanced the idea that the number of agents should be limited in some simple but effec- tive manner by the Insurance Com missioner or the Legislature. The committee said:
 "We believe with the president that multiplicity of agents being one of the greatest evils of the business, annexes and auXiliaries make more agents and by dilution. so to speak, weaken the strength of the agency element We think with him the Insurance Commis- sioners and the Legislatures should eliminate either by Commissioners rulings or by statute this impossible progency."

WILL MANUFACTURE
 HOG CHOLERA SERUM

The State University has just com pleted arrangements with the Veil Packing Co.,, of Little Rock, to con struct on the grounds of the company plant for the manufacture of hog cholera serum. By having this in connection with the packing plant the hogs necessary for the manufacture of the serum can be had at a very low price, and the cost of the serum to the farmers will be greatly reduced. Ev- cry year cholera kills hogs worth mil lions of dollars, the total loss for the whole country being estimated last year at eighty million dollars. A large part of this loss occurred in Arkansas. The serum, used in time
 is sure preventive of the disease.
 Plans for the building of the new plant are being drawn by the Univer- sity Engineering Department and the construction work will begin at once
