TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago Feb 2-WHEAT-Wheat adj
vanced IN price today largely as result
of belief that bearish conditions had been
discounted, at least for the time being
Bulls contended also that the main factor
was not under selling from Argentina but
the question whether the United States ex-
portable surplus had already been disposed
Of Upturns u price, however, brought
about increased selling. Initial quotations
which ranged from lie to 3Ae higher with
March S1.57 to S1-5S and May S1.45 to $1.46s4
were followed by moderate reaction
Subsequently, the market took a fresh
upward swing land there was an estimate
current that the United States carry over
would be only 100000 bushels If not
another bushel were sold for export the
next five months. Prices closed unsettle,
11ac to 314c net higher, with March sl-56s4
to S1.57 and May $1.461a to 81. 46%.
= CQRN--Corn hardened with wheat. After
opening nc to lie higher, including May at
G4Ac to 651sc the market kept for a time
within this range and then relaxed a trifle.
Falling off in the volume of receipts had
a. stimulating influence later and so, too,
did gossip that the country was not SELL

 Mexico Will Pay Debts
 It. is. true, Mexico has not yet ar ranged to meet her bonded and float ing indebtedness, but she is making herculean efforts to do that at an carry date. She has announced her purpose to pay every debt, bonded and otherwise, with all interest due. Speaking on this subject just recent ly, President Obregon declared:
 2 'The fact that the Mexican Gov ernment wishes to pay it's debts is not a dream. The Government author ities' have. given assurance to the rel rcsentatives of all holders of Mex ico's debt that they will not resort to any subterfuges or evasions, but that they will try 10 reach a settle ment with spirit of equity, until the creditors are entirely satisfied
 q do not claim to be a worker of miracles--I am not g superman, but I am doing ail that is within my power to close the channels of graft and to moraliZe the administration. and those who work with me have the same desire. wish to stress this roint with all emphasis, in or 's,o of l., Urite1 States may regard this al ministratio1 not with suspicion, but with confidence l wish to have these mon realize that my word have been and always will be, backed up by deeds"
 Mexico is alre idy creating a sink ing fund from the taxes on oil pro. duction. the surplus from the cen. tannial tax and other sources with which to resume the payment Of ia- terest on the foreign debt.
 Working on Banking System
 The Government is working upon plans for the establishment of 8 satisfactory banking system. The sys- tenn is not in good condition now. That is admittel by President Obrc- eol. who is giving the matter q great deal of careful thought. It was in this connection that Thomas W. Id montof J. P. Morgan & Co.,, recently visited Mexico City, the invited guest Of the Government. The dispatch with which this question shall be worked out may depend upon the ability of the country to borrow money with which 10 put the ind ebt- edness of the country on stable basis. It is the belief in Mexico City that the problem would be quickly solved if the United States would only recognize the Obreson Government It is certain if the United States would recognize tae Government Great Britain. France and Cuba would quickly follow.

 o rcgon for Railroads
 President Obregon is alive to ths necessity of having adelllte trans portltion facilities if the country Is to mako progress. In state:na Y: given out while was in Mexico City, he said:
 The Mexican government realizes that the welfare Of is people and the trosperity of it's trade and commerce depend uron the maintenance of et ficient transportation. Large invest ments have been made for the na- tional railways in order to rehabili- tate the service and to repair the de struction of the revolution. A tre- mendous amount of work difficult to perceive at first glance, has been put upon the repair of the roadbe1s
 The great efforts that are being made and the immense sums Of money that are being expended on the railroads are not only to increase the efficiency of transportation and to reduce the serious freight conges- tion. but also with the purpose of returning the railroads to their own CTS in good running condition. never felt that it would be right to turn back the railroads to their own CTS in depleted condition"
