The close was weak. + to 7s cents net lower. with August. s1.oS7s to $.5+ and September. $1.547s to $l.55. Oats finished F cent off to 2A up. In pro visions the outcome ranged from 20 cents decline to 65 cents advance.

Relative lightness of receipts with prospects of further decrease in the movement from the country had much to do with shaping the temporary up- ward course of values. A bullish fur " in July oats resulted from belated covering by shorts. August and Sep tember oats weakened with corn.

SNOW FIELDS TO
 BE MEASURED FOR
 MORE WATER POWER

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 13. = The water content of number of snow fields in the Sierra Nevada noun tains will be measured this winter under supervision of the California State Engineering department. To do this the State has obtained vir- tually all of the scientific appara- tus available in the United States for such observations. It is the first time such work has been at tempted in the pupblic interest any where in the world, except as a scientific experiment, according to Major P. M. Norbee, assistant state engineer.
 Some of the information gained it is expected, will be of value to the federal government when it pre- pares to lay out transcontinental aerial route.
