EXPLORER BACK
FROM ARCTIC
VENTURE
Amundsen at Siberian Port
After Dash for North
Pole.

New York, April 23.-Much inter-
circles in the report that Roald
Amundsen, the explorer who dis
covered the South Pole, had been
heard from at Anadir. a trading post
on the Bering Sea in Eastern ST.
beria- He left less than two years
ago on an expedition to the North
Pole to which he expected to give
from four to seven years. 1t was
his ambition to be the first explorer
to reach both ends of the earth.
DR.. E. o. Hovey. explorer, who is
connected with the American Mu-
scum of Natural History, speculated
on the possibility that Amundsen
had been forced to leave his ship and
vas completing his return journey
by land.
Ship Shaped Like Egg.
He said it did not necessarily fol-
low that the ship, the Maude, had
met with disaster, because she was
built egg-shaped on the theory that
she would rise above the ice as it
covered open water.
1t was thought UNLIKELY that
Amundsen had reached the Pole. The
time since his departure is too short.
He planned to drive his vessel as
far north as possible then lodge her
in the ice and permit her to be
dragged along by the enormous foes.
Planned to Use Planes.
This course. he believed, would
take him to the Pole or near enough
to enable him to launch one of the
two airplanes the ship carried.
Amundsen spent years in arrang-
ing for the trip. The war caused
many delays. TIE Maude had crude
oil-burning engines. but it was
Amundsen's intention to make the
journey almost wholly without the
use of power.
He calculated that the northern
drift would take him in the direction
In which he wished to go.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Dec. 6.-Nervousnes
over bearish opinions current re-
garding the economic outlook had
a depressing effect in the wheat
market today Notwithstanding ex-
port business on large scale. The
close was heavy at the same as
yesterdays finish to 1c lower, with
March $1.58 to $1.5SA and May
$1.5214 TO $1.521s. Corn lost 1sc
to 1%c and oats &c to &c. In
provisions the outcome varied from
12c decline to zoe advance.
It was clearly shown that the
majority of traders lacked conf
dence in the bull side of the wheat
market. Even after the fact was
widely known that export purchas-
ing of domestic wheat today
amounted to 100000 bushels. up
turns in prices failed to hold. A
reduction of 12,000,000 bushels in
the estimated surplus of Australian
wheat counted. too only as tenn
porary stimulus. on the other
hand, continued notice was given
to unemployment figures and to
other adverse aspects of the bust
ness situation. Liquidating sales
on the part of holders became gen.
eral in the last hour. especially
after word was circulated that the
governor of North Dakota would
request farmers to sell rs per cent
of their wheat to diminish strain
on banks.
Corn and oats were ruled mainly
by the action of wheat. Deferred
delivery of corn touched the lowest
price yet this season.
Provisions sympathiZed with
grain weakness but this Influence
was partly offset by late steadiness
in the hog market.
Closing prices:
Wheat - March, s1,5S; May,
$1.52A.
Corn-May, 67Bc; July. CSC.
Oats-May, 47c; July. 46Ac.
Pork-Jan., $22.40.
Lard--Jan., $13.17; May SEAS.
Ribs-Jan., $11.S2; May, $3.50.
