University Day Jubilee
Postponed by War Work

Because many of the students of
the University OF Nebraska have en-
listed for the war, and because many
more Of the young men have been
allowed 10 go home to the farms to
help in raising wartime crop, the
University day in Omaha celebration
for May 4 has been postponed until
a more opportune time. Dean Eng
berg, executive of, the university;
Chancellor Avery, and E. V. Parrish,
manager OF the bureau OF publicity of
Omaha, have agreed upon the post
ponement for the above reasons. 1t
was felt that under the circumstances
the celebration of a University day at
Omaha this year could not be all that
it was last year, nor all that should
be expected in normal times, and it
was believed best to postpone it for
the time being.

whoa. and Corn Jump Upward on In
creased Demand BY Entente.
Chicago. April 2S.-Feverish advances Of
12hc here in the price Of wheat today
were followed by sudden collapse Of
lbhc. owing largely to official denials that
the entente allies had been purchasing fu-
ture deliveries at Winnipeg and because OF
action OF the Winnipeg exchange in pro-
hbiting all speculative trade.
A wild finish In the Chicago market re-
suited, with the market varying from 2hc
under yesterdays close to To advance, with
May at $2.74027th and July, f2.2592.26
Corn closed Nc off to lie up, and oats off
lHc TO 1hc. In provisions the outcome
ranged from &c decline TO an equal gain
The wave of liquidation sales was added
to by news in Omaha no more trades in
May wheat would be cleared. except the
closing out Of old contracts. In the last
fifteen minutes. week end evening UP Of
business led to something Of n recovery,
but the day ended with the pit In a de-
moralized condition.
Uncertainty Of wheat traders at the fin
sh was due in great degree to the fact
that the recent great advance In Chicago
prices was based largely on the assumption
that upturns in the Winnipeg market were
due mainly to purchases for Great Britain
and Its allies.
Corn broke sharply with wheat after
having jumped with that cereal to new high
levels Trades was relatively small in corn.
and the market had no Independent action.
business In oats attained large proportions,
but otherwise the cereal duplicated the
&C urse OF other gral especially with re-
gard to developments at Winnipeg
Provisions, like other commodities, ad
vanced to fresh top records and then
crumpled down. Fluctuations were mainly
in sy".pathy with the changes In the neigh
boring plts.
