ficials to Take Action.
The ministers of Topeka displayed
their disapproval of holding a carnival
in Topeka, at meeting of the To-
peka Ministerial union this morning
at the Y. NJ. c. A. by passing a resolu-

forbid carnivals entering the city.
The resolution follows:
I'VE as ministers are in favor of any
creditable and lawful way of adVertis-
ing our city and promoting her bust
ness and social interests.
But we are positively opposed to
the discreditabIe and disgraceful con-
cession, which Uttered some of our
streets last week, demoraHzing our
citizens.
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
petition our honorable mayor and
commissioners to permit it never
again.
A resolution asking the members of
the board of education to put a course
of Bible study in the high school, was
also approved. The resolution recon-
mended that it be made a part Of the

WEzRkzIETs


Chicago, May -1.-wHEAT-Altho in some
quarters sharply fluctuating prices today
were expected to accompany the beginning
the market opened quietly. Delivery totalled
800, COO bushels, about as had been esti-
mated for several days. Under such cir
cumstances and with the remainder of the
month still open for the settlement of May
contracts, the course of prices in early
trading appeared to be governed largely
by other factors and the recently much
talked Of possible shortage of supplies in
Chicago Thus, higher. quotations at Liver
pool helped to lift values here as did talk
of large abandonment Of winter wheat acre
age in Oklahoma.
Wheat started &c to &c higher, with May
S1.41 to $1.4115 and July S1.2615 to $1.27.
A moderate setback of prices ensued with
trade meanwhile chiefly of local charac-
ter
CORN-Corn and oats showed independ-
ent firmness based largely on authoritative
assertions that corn was being used for
feeding on farms in much greater quanti-
ties than las been generally realized Corn
opened unchanged to &C higher, July 65c to
651sc and then scored slight general gains.
a.OATS-After starting unchanged to &c
higher July 39Ac to 40c, the oats market
continued to advance.
PROVISIONS-Lower hog quotations
continued to weaken provisions.

Poultry prices have continued st about
the same level for two weeks and are steady
al these prices. Receipts continue very
light in the central egg producing territory
as farmers and producers realize that with
eggs selling at present prices it is unprofit-
able to market their laying hens. BrOflers
of 1922 hatch are only beginning to be
marketed.
Continued heavy receipts and rapidly in
creasing warehouse stocks have taken the
edge of the egg market, resulting in lower
prices all around The market on eggs
thruout April has held up better than we
expected. but with the prospect Of ap-
proximately 100000 cases of production
this month over April of last year these
high market prices could not be sustained
and we have seen decided change in senti-
ment in the last few days. Local paying
