cover this morning and wheat rallied
easily. The nearby futures were the
stronger. The same conditions pre-
vail in the weather map. Some wheat
was worked today for export which
was surprise to the trade. The fact
that Canada has had the call for sew
eral weeks. a heavier spring wheat
movement is expected. Uncertainty
In regard to the Canadian attitude to-
wards the duty on wheat Is factor.
Meanwhile the Willingness of foreign
ers to take our wheat on breaks, was
q sustaining influence.
Corn-Despite the strength in
wheat, the corn market was weak and
lower, southwest showing disposi-
ton to sell more freely. Favorable
weather throughout the country was
also a factor Primary receipts today
were 100000 bushels and shipments
$4,000 bushels. Liverpool reports
an export demand for corn and it was
rumored that a small export business
was worked although no details were
given out
Oats-Exports clearanCes Of oats
were 477,OO0 bushels and fresh sales
of from 100000 to 100000 bushels
were reported by the seaboard. This
resulted in strengthening the nearby
deliveries which closed at an advance
Of NC, while May was sold by com
mission houses and local traders clos
ing that delivery a shade lower. In
creased country sales are reported.
Provisions-A lower hog market
brought an easier provision market
but demand broadened on commission
house buying while offerings came
mostly from shorts. Towards the close

BIG SUMS GIVEN

State Institutions VIII Get Three Mil
lions, Sum Considerably
in Excess Of Last
Year.
THREE GET BULK OF IT
Ames, Iowa City and Teachers Col
lese Will Profit by Appropria-
lions for Work This
Year.

DIES MONIES, Oct 2S.-The three
state educational institutions will
have $2,S29.25O for operating expenses
and new buildings for the year 1915
16, an increase of $47,675 over the pre-
v1ous year, according to a report is
sued by the state board of education.
On July 1. 1915. the value Of prop
erty at the State University at Iowa
City, the State college at Ames and
the State Teachers college at Cedar
Falls Was nearly s10,000,000 To that
amount $375,000 will be added during
the coming year in the shape of new
buildings
Although the institutions will have
nearly half million dollars addition
al revenue for the year 1856, the
amount provides only for the expan-
sion of the colleges. The board found
it necessary to quash a boom among
the teaching force for higher wages
in order to make the revenue meet the
needs.
The legislature allowed increased
appropriations for support Of the edu-
cationa1 institutions, but it cut down
the grants for new buildings. The
State college support fund was in.
creased from $S05,4O0 to s1,030.O00,
State university from s549,7O0 to s7G6..
500; teachers college from $225, $50
to $293,300. The total support for the
three institutions in 1914-15 was ST.
625,25O. It has been increased to ST.
O89, 800 for 1856.

COMBINATION BOAT is MADE

In order to navigate Lake Pend

rapidly over smooth ice, taking to
open water at full speed and then
running back onto the ice when max.
ing the return trip to the northern
part of the lake. The boal Is IA
feet in length and approximately a
feet wide. Its bottom Is shaped like
an inverted V, quite similar to that
OF the average hydroplane, which "a

At its stern are two skate like run.

which control lever is attached for
