Rain and snow. continued to have >
Fbearish effect on the market today.
There was free selling by local
traders At the start, but ON the
break, commission houses became
good buyers and the surplus was
taken OF the market Prices shot
upwards when the local element be-
came sellers. Fear Of return Of
crop complaints had some effect on
the sentiment. After starting un-
changed to 1c lower, with first quo
tations for March 1.66x to 1.67,
and May 1.57 to 1.571k, there was q
rally which carried prices above
yesterdays finish,, then q setback,
after. which prices started to as
cend.
The upturn in wheat was caused
by talk Of export business and the
close was firm, prices being to
~ cents higher, with March $1.70
to $1.70A. and May $1.60 to $l.60A.
Corn prices seemed effected b.
the movement in wheat. After
starting unchanged to Zc lower
with May at 691zc to 69Ac, there
was some fair buying by q cash
house to remove hedges against
sales to the seaboard and after a
slight falling of, there was q re-
covery which carried the market
above the previous close.
The export business also was re-
sponsible for the rise in corn and
the finish was hc to INC higher,
with May 70Ac to 70A @707sc.
Oats showed some strength at the
start but soon became affected by
the other cereals. After opening
Nc to Nc higher, including May at
4511sc to 1880, there was q setback
and then a rally.
Provisions seemed to suffer by
the action in grains despite the
strength in hogs and initial quota
lions were unchanged to 10c lower.

.kINANIS CLUB
COMMIT Tee TO
PASS idea on
Names Speakers To SSell" Csllsean
Plan t. Other Organisations II
the City.

The Kiwanis club il completely
sold" on the plan Of . coliseum
for Moline. and 10 to have its rep
resentatites visit other clubs In
the city to "sell" the project to
them.
Max Rosenneld, Mayor c. P.
Skinner, Steve Albright, o. E. Child
and Judge G. o. Dietz are members
Of the speakers committee to talk
before other clubs in a plea for
their endorsement Of the plan. To-
day the committee presented a
lengthy report Of the finances
necessary to insure the project as
authorized by state statutes.
A maximum levy upon Moline's
81. 000,0 900 taxable property will
, net $4,000 for the first year and
an annual return of $4,000 there
after. The total for 80 years would
be $384,000. Thirty years is the
limit set by the statute to pay for
such a building. Estimates of the
cost of the building range from
$3.50, 900 to $400,0OO Figured from
, basis of 100000 minimum cost
I the committee finds that after de-
Quoting the first years income Of
$4,000 it would be necessary to is
sue bonds to the extent Of $264, 900.
Interest on this issue at the rate Of
per cent would be $4,000 an
nually, which would amount to
1920 more than the regular in
come derived from the tax, leaving
nothing to apply to liquidation Of
the Indebtedness. The committee
is of the opinion that money could
not be obtained for less than per
cent per annum and the interest
rate would therefore increase the
sum to $15,840.
Interest Of $685., 800 would be paid
in the 20 year period II none Of the
debt was liquidated. Liquidation
at the rate Of one-twenty-ninth a
year would require an interest of
| $191. 400. To accomplish this, if
money were obtained at 5 per cent,
the committee finds that total ex-
penditures would be limited to
$230,000 and il per cent is paid
the limit would be $17S,000. includ-
ing a building cost of $125,00.

with a week ago wheat prices this
morning showed 2 cents and 4 cents
advance, with corn up TX cents
oats l cent to IN cents, and pro-
visions 5 cents to 40 cents.
Anxiety in regard to the safety OF
the wheat crop reached a climax
when one Of the leading field ex-
perts of the country went on rec
ord as saying the situation needed
careful watching, as the insect
pests which were threatening a dis
aster, had appeared month earlier
than usual, and had already multi
piled to an extraordinary extent
Green bugs in greater or less guam
tity we're reported as infesting the
wheat belt all the way from Texas
as far north as central Illinois. AT
the same time, evidence of danger
from Hessian fly was noted in the
various states touching the Great
Lakes. Broadening Of export de.
mand for corn tended further to
strengthen wheat prices. Later,
however. probable veto of the
emergency tariff bill had a bearish
influence, and SO, too, did snow and
rain yesterday and predictions that
next week would witness the cold

Corn and oats displayed inde-
