Grain Review

Chicago. March 12-Misgivings over
chances of a railroad strike tended to-
day to depress the wheat market put
were offset to some extent by bulllsr'
crop reports from the southwest. Later,
however, word of rain in Kansas caus'
ed the market to give way in a more
decisive manner. Pit traders sold freely
Opening prices, which ranged from
the same as Saturdays finish to rs
lower, with May at 1852 to 1.S6A and
July at l. 56as to l.56 y were followed
by numerous irregular changes and
then a sharp downturn all around. :,
Snow in Nebraska added to bearlsl,
sentiment and so also did absence OF
export demand. There was also mucn
uneasiness over developments when
emphasized the seriousness OF dangers
to shipping from submarines. The close
was semi-demoralized at 2ss to &c ne'
lower with May at s1.S0B to $l.soHs
and July at s1.52a 91.53.
Lightness of offerings kept corn re
latively firm. The market, though
showed some sympat thy with the weak
ness of wheat. After opening &c or 70
Nc up, prices scored slight general
gains and then receded to just below
Saturdays finish
Signs of falling off in the crop
movement from the country failed to
check subsequent declines that accom-,
panied severe breaks in the value OF
wheat. The close was nervous at losses
of NC to &c net.
Oats sagged with wheat. There was
no aggressive selling. :,
Lower quotations on hogs pulled
down provisions. The chief weakness
was in pork.

the first test ballot And despite the
fact that throughout Saturday he was
under pressure from Pitt-Johnston
leaders. he gave it On seven OF the
other eight ballots.

realize what 1t means"
The Pitt-Johnston men gave way
late Saturday afternoon after two days
OF the closest voting In the history OF
any Iowa legislature. They saw the
deadlock would stand. So the slaughter
began. The Larson-Shortess bill. in
troduced as a substitute to the John.
ston bill. was called up hrst and
slaughtered by the tie vote Of "a to 81.
The parliamentary rule Is that ne
vote kills a measure. The Elwood-
Mackie amendment was then led to the
guillotine and killed by the same vote
Then came the obsequies over the
Johnston bill and in thirty minutes
seventy typewriter pages OF road
| legislation, with more than 20,OoO
words were slaughtered.
There was no cheering, no applaud
! ing. Tucker Of Clinton and McFerren
of Hamilton changed their votes
against the bill that they might file q
motion to reconsider Monday. 1t Is be-
lieved however that any move to re-
consider will be killed. The Johnston
bill is therefore dead 'for good"
The senate is, in the majority. loyal
to, the state highway commission. II
has passed the Foster road patrol bill
providing for patroling Of the states
road system measure that is OF
great Importance but which so far has
received little public attention because
it has been overshadowed by the road

an overwhelming vote and no doub,

only important road legislation to pass
