Kramer to Warn That
Lid Is Not Removed

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-Prohibi-
ton Commissioner Kramer today was
considering issuance Of a warning that
the manufacture sale of beer con-
tanning more than One-hah per cent Of
alcohol for beverage purposes will bring
prosecution.
This warning, If issued. will be to
counteract an impression that recent
rulings by former Attorney General Pal
mer would allow the manufacture and
sale OF beer, despite the provisions Of
the Volstead act.
Palmer's rulings covered only beer for
nonbeverage or medicinal use, Kramer
pointed out.
Former Attorney General Palmer's rul
ing will have no effect In Indiana, accord
ing to Charles J. Orbison, prohibition en-
forcement officer for Indiana. Mr.. Orbi-
son says that the State law, as inter-
preted by Judge Sparks in the Haag
cases, takes care of this phase of the sit
uaton, regardless of any ruling made
by Federal officials.

For other embassies abroad there are
great number of recommendations on

out process presents no small task.

mentioned for high honors are: DR..
David Jayne Hill former ambassador to

two candidates in the van-R. B. Creager

Wheat-We have felt the farm grain
reserves today in the market. Some short
covering, based on reports of further ex-
port business, received a decided check
when confirmed reports to hand Of pur-
chases by France Of Argentine wheat at
10 cents under United States parity. There
were some sales Of United States wheat
reported to France and Italy. but At
was generally supposed to be closing old
business, or working on moderate amounts
for prompt shipment, while Argentine,
cheaper wheat, was getting shipped.
There were some reports of green bugs,
but they were not taken seriously. Min
neapolis reported that the largest part of
the receipts at that point and Duluth
were of the Canadian variety. Kansas
City reported liberal increase in their
stocks of both wheat and corn. The
trading showed, all through the session,
that the short interest was largely elm
mated and that it would take something
new to again put prices higher. A re-
port of three cargoes of wheat worked to
France could not be confirmed at all.
With the known large quantities OF wheat
that we have in our reserves, 1t looks
like an uphill job working for higher
prices, unless the motive comes from alb
sOlute crop damage.
Corn-There was nothing new IN corn.
II took its tone from wheat. Receipts
were a little more moderate, but so much
corn Is moving that 1t will insure heavy
increases in the visible supply for two
or three weeks to come A little eX-
port business was reported but cuts lit
tie figure, as our available quantity is
practically unlimited. When the wheat
market showed weakness, corn very
promptly followed, and we are of the
opinion that 1t will take something more
than the price OF wheat to keep corn
from declining In the near future.
Osts-Cats showed no distinctive char
acteristics today at all, taking their tone
from the other grains.
Provlsions-Higher hogs were unable
to check the easiness in the provision
market which, more or less, sympathized
with the weakness In grain today. We
see no very great decline In provisions,
but one must pick buying places on de-
clines.

Rail Investigation
Scheduled for Senate

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Senator AL
bert B. Cummins OF Iowa, author of the
present railroad law, announced today
after a conference with President Hard
ing at the White House. that the United
States Senate will shortly conduct an
investigation into the entire railroad stu
alton.
Matters particularly to be inquired into,
Senator Cummins said, were whether the
roads are being grossly mismanaged, as
charged, and whether there is justification
for the present high rates.
