MUCH COMPETITION
STRENGTHENS WHEAT

Chicago, Jan. 12.-Evidencs of COM
petition between millcrs and exporters
led to a sharp upturn in wheat today.
Final pricee altho unsettled were 3Ac
to 4Ec net higher with March sl.S2
to 1s2n and May N.72A to sl.1S.
Corn gained l4c to &c, oats Ac TO
&c, and provisions, 10c to 3Oc.
On tho advance May wheat touched
the highest price this season. In con-
ncction with the upturn in values. in
terest was attached > news that Min
neapolis mills were buying hard win
ter wheat in Nebraska where most OF
the recent export shipments have been
obtained. An apparent pause in export
buying carly had a transient bearlsh
influence and so too did gossip, that
the Argentine export tax would be
removed. Word OF any change in
Argentina however failed to become
public and considerable export busi,
ness in the United States developed
during tho latter part of the day
Gossip that Texas mills were after
wheat in Kansas and that flour show
ed Improvement were additional bull
ish factors. Corn and oats swayed
with wheat. advances were checked by
heavy hedging sales of corn. On the
other hand export buying OF corn con-
tinued. Higher quotations on hogs
and cereals gave lift TO provisions.

PEANUTS As AGAINST LEMONS
Wilson's Dictatorship not Dangerous

eminent, Professor Lindsay Rogers Of
the University Of Virginia, declared in
an address before the American Poll
teal Science Association.
Professor Rogers said that, instead
OF being representatives Of the whole
people, members Of congress too often
were but diplomats who came to
Washington to represent their fellow
partisans in their own districts.
Peanuts against lemons are too of
ten the great issues in legislation he
said, "or else II is the merits of a
small river in Ohio as opposed to one
in Florida"
Declaring that legislative inefflci-
ency was the prime cause OF present
conditions leading to charges of presi-
dental autocracy, Professor Rogers
said President Wilson's dictatorship
was not dangerous because Of the
power exercised, but that 1t had some
times been obnoxious because OF the
