WHEAT PRICES TOUCH ,,.so..
May Delivery Leaps to Highest Nee
essary Price Since 1861.

Chicago.-The highest wheat prices
with four exceptions since the Civil
War were reached In the local pit Jan.
2s, when options on May deliveries
sold for $1.5OA per bushel. During
the war of 81 wheat was around So
per bushel. In 1898. during the ia
nous Letter corner, 1t sold at 31.s5.
When James A. ,Patten engineered his
corner in 1909. wheat scared to $1.60
per bushel. Wheat sold at $1.65 In
1876 and at 81 in 1888, during the cor
ner engineered by B. p. Hutchinson.
known as "Old Hutch"
No. 2 red and No. 2 hard wheat
were right up with wheat futures. both
reaching $1.5OM. Operators pointed to
this fact as significant, as indicating
that high prices were not Mt least
chiefly caused by speculation. as dur
ing the Letter and Patten corners.
Thursdays prices were the highest
recorded since the Civil War on the
local board of trade. when legitimate
supply and demand largely governed
the conditions. said pit leaders.
The rise to Thursdays high mark
has been gradual but steady since the
first declaration of war. May wheat
was selling at S4k cents on July IA.
1914. Within short period the price
went to $1.32. This was In September.
Then came sharp reaction, the mar
ket going back to $1.11A, when opera
tors began to believe they had become
too greatly excited over the outlook.
The bulge upward from this price
started early in January and has been
steady ever since. operators giving as
their reason renewed activities among
foreign governments in bidding for
wheat. ....H..r.

cause of the literacy test for admis-
sion of aliens. His message was re-
ceived In the House and referred to
the immigration committee, whose
chairman. Representative Burnett. Will
move that the measure be passed over
the executive veto.
Much informal discussion among
members of the House followed the re-
ception OF the veto, and while adVo-
Gates of the bill expressed confidence,
other members asserted that the re-
quired two-thirds majority to force the
measure into law over the head of the
chief executive could not be procured.
Three times has an immigration bill
containing a restrictive test been
vetoed, first by President Cleveland,
next by President Taft and now by
President Wilson. Twice Congress
failed to override the presidential dis
approval and House managers were
Insistent that the veto should not be
considered until there had been time
