Chicago. Aug. 7.-Unexpected rains
in Illinois and other states over night
caused a sharp break in-wheat prices
at the opening of the market today.
At the start initial quotations were
off AZ to 51a cents. with December
at s2.31 to $2.32 and March at s2.S3.
There was little rallying power dis
played, prices for time lowering
about the opening figures.
Wheat fluctuated rapidly within a
fair range, there being some buying
of futures credited to northwestern
account. Country offerings to ar
rive were not large, the car situation
being the main influence. The close
was nervous. with prices 21a to 4
cents lower, December at $2.S21s to
$3.50 and March at sassy.
Corn.
Corn followed the course of wheat,
opening prices ranging from az to
Sss cents net lower, with Septem-
Der at s1.44 to $1.45 and December
at s1.24 to $1.25. The trade became
dalton got under way. Some stop or
ders were caught on the decline, but
fair support developed from shorts
and commission houses, which caused
a rally.
Corn rallied sharply toward the
close because q local trader, who
was a big seller yesterday, was cred
tied with free buying, especially the
September option. The close was
weak, however, with prices V to g

ure. with September at $1.46 to
s1.46s land December at s1.2sA to

HOUSE MAY RECESS
JUNE 5, SAYS SPEAKER

Speaker Gillett stated today that
republican leaders have decided that
every effort will be made to recess
the House on the evening OF June 5.
That will AFFORD republican members
Of the House ample opportunity to
reach the Chicago convention in time
for the opening session.
Mr.. Gillett favors an adjournment
on June S, but q majority of the
House, he says, seems opposed to
definite adjournment on that date.
House Leader Mondel1 is endeavor-
ing to arrange recess from June
to about the 1st Of September, when
the House would return to do little
business and then again recess until
about December l. The plan is to
have the House members always spb-
ject to the call of the presiding Of
ficer and at the same time grant them
as much freedom as possible during
the campaign.

The Commissioners point out that

noint out. an asphalt surface with con-
crete base will last Tor twenty-five
years. During the first ten years a new
asphalt surface needs practically no
maintenance. During the remaining
ffteen wears the maintenance charge Is
slight in comparison to the upkeep on
water-bound macadam.
Good for Twenty-Five Years.
And even at the end OF twenty-five
wears. these officials say, the concrete
base is still good and needs only resur-
facing. The old surface taken from an
asphalt street is not total loss. It is
carried to the District asphalt plant,
where 1t is salvaged for use in repair
ing cuts in other asphalt streets.
The Commissioners also have asked
Congress for 339. 900 to grade Connecti-
cut avenue from Pierce Mill road to
Chapel road. This stretch should be
graded and allowed to settle for q year
before being paved, the Commissioners
point out.

CAPITAL TRACTION SAVES
WORKERS PAYING TWICE

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day approved an arrangement Of the
Capital Traction Company to save
residents of Chevy Chase from pay
ing two fares to get to the bureau
Of engraving and printing and the
Department Of Agriculture.
Since all Chevy Chase cars go west
at 18th street and New York avenue
passengers have to get a transfer to
ride to 14th street and Pennsylvania
avenue. where they get the bureau
car OF tn w. r. & E. line.
Up to this time the Capital Traction
has not been issuing a 2-cent transfer
to the Washington Railway and Electric
line at 14th and the avenue to passen-
gers who present free transfer. Un-
der the action taken by the commission
today the Capital Traction will give a
2-cent transfer at 14th and Pennsyl-
vania avenue on free transfer.
Persons going to Chevy Chase from
the bureau and agriculture department,
will be given a free transfer at 18th and
New York avenue on a free transfer.
