WHEAT STAGES
OLD-FASHIONED
BULL MOVEMENT
(By Consolidated Press

Chicago, April 15.-It was a real
old fashioned bull market in wheat
with most of the activity confined
to the May. 1t was just a year ago
when a sensational rise in May
got under way and many, who be-
lieved that the action of the mark
ct repeats itself were climbing in
the bull band wagon in anticipation
OF a similar move 1t is now gen.
orally conceded that a big local
trader, an exporter and two Win
ipeg men are believed to have the
May wheat bought up in sufficient
quantities to make it uncomfort-
able for shorts That the longs
will have to take much wheat in
on delivery to hold their position
is unquestioned and their rise or
fall will be dependent upon their
ability to merchandise the wheat
Late months were benefited by the
rise in the May. Rough weather is
forecast for the northwest which
will delay planting. Domestic
shipping demand slow but buying
of futures was noted by export
houses. Omaha sold $4,000 bush
els of wheat to come +, to Chicago.
Shipping sales 1900 bushels Mar
ket closed "a c to &c higher; May
$1.42A @1.43; July, s1.25A @1.26;
Sept. $120.
Corn was affected by the action
of wheat. A broader commission
house demand for July was noted
based on the late spring. Illinois
points offered corn to arrive for
the first time in two weeks. Do
mestic shipping demand for corn
was light. No evidence of any ex-
port demand was noted. Shipping
sales were 10000 bushels. Market
closed l &c to 17sc higher; May
611sc to Sc; July, Sc to 647sc;
Sept. 67hc to 673sc-
Oats followed the trend of other
grains. Commission house
bought the offered futures while
cash houses transferred hedges
Longs in May took advantage of
the bulge to take profits Better
demand for cash oats was noted.
Shipping sales were 10000 BUSH
els. Market closed SIS to nc high
er; May 3S3sc to 38Ac; July 41BcI
to Ale; Sept. 42B@3c
Provisions were firm in sympa-
thy with grain. Trade was SLOW
Pork closed unchanged, Iarg TIC
to 1212c higher and ribs zoe to
2215c higher.

American to Have
Buster keaton in
"The Boat" Sunday

Buster Keaton, land sailor, builds
a boat so that his wife and two
kiddies can have the sea air recon-
mended by the family physician.
He has innumerable difficulties
in getting the boat to the ocean
for LAUGHING and more trouble get
ting it to sail.
He is caught in a storm and
wrecked, managing to escape more
through the assistance of fate than
through his ingenuity.
There you have the story of THE
Boat, Buster Keaton's latest two
reel mirthquake, released through
Associated First National Pictures
which comes to the American the
atre Saturday.
Action occurs in the keaton
domicile during the building of the
boat and then at the seashore
where the launching and christen-
ing takes place Then comes his
trials and tribulations in trying to
get the craft to sail and following
this comes a young typhoon which
sends the boat to Lazy Jones
Locker, with Keaton and his family
being rescued just ''in the nick OF
time. All this is accomplished in
a ludicrous manner and is a sure
cure for blues, bunions, corns and
dandruff
The picture is by far the best yet
turned out by the frozen-faced
funster. Also Mead Hart in "Renge

wife Mary were arrested at their
home on a farm near Erie and
brought to this city where they
were given a preliminary hearing
on the charge of having in their

Lester Davis of Erie, the COM
planning witness, testified that
Daeseele told him that when he
took a load OF moonshine to town
for delivery that he always carried
along a hammer so that he could
break the jugs if anyone attempted
to search his wagon. He said that
Mrs. Daescele also told him how she
had fooled the officers when they
made a raid on their place last fall,
and how one Of the children dumped
some booze in the basement and
how several jugs were hidden in
hay in the barn.

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, April 15.-Revival of ex-
port buying has done a great deal
this week to bring about higher
prices for wheat. Compared with
a week ago, wheat this morning
corn showing a gain of sc to g C,
and oats a rise of A@B to ~ q
15sc. Net gains for the week in the
provision market varied from 15@
TIC decline to soc advance
Foreign demand in the wheat
market gave evidence of more &C
tivity than for some time past, a
turn for the worst in tbs European
crop outlook being the chief reason
assigned, although talk was also
current that hopefulness in regard
to developments expected from the
economic conference at Genoa, had
inspired some of the buying. Fail
ure of the Liverpool market of late
to follow price declines on this side
of the Atlantic attracted special
notice among traders here, and was
generally taken to indicate a de-
cided change of view on the part of
at least some big interests abroad.
Enlarged receipts Of wheat at
Chicago seemed to miss fire as an
influence against the upward course
of the market, gossip being current
that the bulk of the arrivals would
go to eastern mills. On the other
hand, reports of better milling de-
mand at St. Louis, Kansas City and
Omaha counted to some extent as a
stimulus toward higher prices
here.
Wet, cold weather was more or
less responsible for upturns in the
value of corn and oats.
Increasing stocks of lard tended
to depress provisions except pork,
which was bid up without difficulty.

ENATOR JOHNSON OPPOSES ALLIED DEBT REFUNDING Bill
RESOLUTION ADOPTED IN FAVOR
THE BONUS BILL FOR SOLDIERS
Ways of Raising Discussed But No
tons Were Given to the Ways and Means Committee About
What Provisions Should Be Placed in the Bill.

Sentiment was expressed, it was
said, in favor of making the cash pro-
visions of the bill less attractive and
those providing for insurance and
home and farm aid more desirable
option. Several members We're said to
have urged that cash payments be
somewhat reduced so that more vet
Grams would be inclined to take ad-
vantage of other benefits. This, il
was said, would require less initial
revenue.
incidentally several ways Of provid-
ing necessary revenue were suggested,
among them a sales tax, issuance OF
bonds secured by the foreign debt and
use Of interest paid in By nations in
debted to the United States.
Chairman Fordney of the ways and
means committee assured his col
leagues that his committee would act
with dispatch. Hearings, he said,
would begin Tuesday with the pros
pect that they would be brief and that
the bill would be reported very soon.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The allied
/ debt refunding bill was subjected
again today to a running attack from
both the republican and democratic
sides of the senate and was defended
at some length by majority party lead
ers. When the senate adjourned the
end OF the debate was not in sight, bur
those in charge of the measure
thought final vote might be reached
tomorrow.
In the first vote on an amendment
to the bill late today an amendment
was approved providing that the re-
funding bonds should not bear interest
at less than i IA per cent. The amend
meut was approved providing that the
refunding bonds should not bear in
terest at less than Ia per cent. The
amendment was suggested by Sena-
tor Simmons, democrat, North Caro-
lima, as q substitute for the original
finance committee amendment which
would have provided that the rate Of
interest should not be less than that
provided for by existing law.
The attack on the measure today
was opened by Senator Johnson. re-
publican, California, who warned the
senate that If the reported plan Of the
administration to sell the foreign
bonds to the American pcop!y was

asserted, there would be constant
pressure on the government to inter

tions.
Supporting his amendment requiring
congressional approval of agreements
entered into with the debtor nations
by the proposed debt refunding com
mission, the California senator said
congress was responsible to the peo-
pie and should not surrender its power
to supervise the debt refunding. In
this connection he attacked the secret
sessions of tho arms conference, de-
cIaring that "a real disarmament pro-
gram" would have resulted had the
sessions been held in the open for one

made himself a hero by his masterful

PARTS, Jan. 26.-It was reliably
stated tonight that George Harvey,
American ambassador to Great Britain,
will tell Premier Poincare during his
brief sojourn IN Paris on his way from
Cannes to London, that the United
States may yet consider being repre-
sented at the forthcoming economic
conference at Genoa, provided France
viii consent to full participation in
that gathering.
This was the view expressed to-
night, subject to any further instruc-
tions the ambassador may receive from
Washington as to the course to be
taken toward the Genoa conference.
Mr.. Harvey's interview with the
French premier is regarded in French
official circles as unusually important
and is expected to take place tomor-
row morning or tomorrow afternoon,
and this meeting may be followed by
another on Saturday or Monday.
