RYE PRICES TUMBLE.
Spectators Fear Federal Limit and
Unload Holdings.

Minneapolis, Feb. L. Shortly after
the opening Of the market yesterday
choice spot rye sold at s2.15 and to ar
rive at s212. Wednesday both sold at
s2.o1. May rye closed at so.1s Wednes-
day and sold at s21O yesterday This
was in part due to the action Wednes-
day Of the Minneapolis fair food price
listing committee in wiring to the fed
oral food administration at Washington
urging that prices on rye. barley and
corn be fixed in proportion to the
wheat price.
The steady advance in prices Of the
wheat substitutes has only recently
been taken account of by the public.
But now the grocers in Minneapolis are
insisting that when customers purchase
white flour they also buy small sack
of barley, rye or corn flour. The Gus
toners often object when they learn
that the prices of the substitutes are
higher than for the real article. 1t is
naturally regarded by many people as
an absurd proposition to be requested
to buy substitutes for white -four at
prices considerably higher than for the
white -four itself. BY many it seems the
same as if they were asked to buy an
imitation Of something and pay more
for 1t than for the genuine.
It is now too late to say how this
price absurdity came about and what
could have been done to avoid it. The
problem Of interest to the public and
the millers is to bring about an equal :
ization as quick as possible. Hence
the appeal by the fair food price com :
mittee to the food administration.
The tumbling Of rye prices appeared
to be due to the unloading by holders
who feared a marked decline.

TIME MAY BE EXTENDED.
Corporations May Get Delay in Tax
Returns-No Blanks on Hand.

Washington, Feb. because Of tho
delay in delivery Of the blanks for fill
ing income tax, corporation tax anu
excess profits tax returns, it appears
to be practically certain that the COM
missioner of internal revenue soon will
make ruling extending the time for
making the returns from March 1 to
March Is or April l..
Under the law the taxpayers are en-
titled to sixty days in which to make
the returns, and had the forms all been
available Jan. l, as planned, this much
time would have been allowed. AS 1t
has worked out, however. only two OF
the four forms needed for making the
various returns are available, and the
most difficult form, 1040, has been
ready only since the past week.
The forms Of excess profits and for
corporation taxes still are held up. as
are also long list Of regulations thus
delaying the work Of filling in the
blanks.
At the treasury 1t was stated that
the two remaining forms and the regu-
lations are being held up pending the
approval Of certain Of the regulations
by Secretary McAdoo. and that they
probably would be ready for distribu-
ton by the end of the week. Unless
there is extension Of time. this will
mean that the users OF these forms
would have only twenty eight days In!
which to make the returns.
Washington bankers and business
men generally feel that. under the cir
cumstances, the commissioner will ex-
tend the time at least thirty days.
1t IS understood that the excess
profits form and the corporation form
are more complicated than form 1910,
and very few business men can prop
erly make out form 1910 without as
sistance. It will be almost impossible,
many point out. to get all these returns
made by March l. even II the addi-
tional forms were available now.

BEHIND IN A,RPLANE WORK.
Frequent Change Of Plans Cause Two
Months Dolav

Washington, Feb. Constant alter
ing Of plans to meet rapid changes in
air fighting tactics in Europe, combined
with delays in getting material and
scarcity of skilled labor has put Amer
ica's great aircraft program two
months behind, though it is now NOV
ing forward smoothly. In disclosing
this Thursday to the senate military
committee, Colonel Deeds, assistant to
MajortGeneral Squier, chief signal off,
Ger of the army, said that not a single
machine of the exact type planned
when congress appropriated $64Q, OOO.-
900 for airf1eet will sec service in
France.
Colonel Deeds told the committee
that the tendency was toward ma
chimes of greater power and that valu-
able lessons in this respect had been
learned at the last battle about Yer
dun. He believed that the machine
now being manufactured and sent to
France. not only would meet present
requirements, but would excel anything
the enemy may produce for some time.
Testimony on how many machines
have been sent over, the equipment
going with them, the number of avia-
tors in France or expected to go was
left to a legislative session of the COM
mittee and will be continued Friday,
but Colonel Deeds said at the public
hearing that it looks as though we
will keep the program Of moving men
and equipment to France well bal
anced."
He promised to give to the commit
tee in conference full information on
types of bombs decided on, and pro-
gress of production.
Colonel Deeds said four types Of ma
chimes were being manufa ctured, ele-
mentary training, advanced training,
combat and bombing. Contracts have
been let for $3.50 Of the elementary
type, first used by the students, 2,153
have been completed, and contracts
had been awarded for I 400 OF the ad-
vanced training. Information about the
combat and bombing craft was with
held
