MEXICO CITY MAY
 BE ON 'DRY' LIST
Legal Measures Now Cut Down on
 Drinking ol lntoXicants

Mcx.co City Feb 1h--The "wets" Tn Mexico arc frankly alarmed. They gay there is n req. possibility that Mexico City, at least. may go dry before tho end Of the year and that if so, the next step would be to make the entire republic arid of alcoholic bev- erages
 President Obrecon does not say that he is a prohibitionist but within the past few months he has given his unqualified support 10 certain legal measures which aim to cut down drinking and eventually Vo put intoN- rants under the ban
 Saloons. clubs and cantinas have been put under more rigid restrictions and. only a few weeks ago. a presi. dential decree increased the federal revenue tax on alcoholic drinks 100 pr cent. There are many rumors that these taxes will be automatically in creased until they become prohibitive.
 Nationwide protest was heard sev- cral days ago when the newspapers said that President Obregon contem- plated issuing decree forbidding the planting and cultivation of the ms- guey plant which is the basic ingre- dent of the most popular natir, drinks.
 The maguey, which is species of cactus, must be replanted every seven years and a decree prohibiting it's cn- tivation would mean its extermina tion and with It the elimination of tequila. mescal and pulque, drinks of undis- puted potency
 Planters of maguey rushed nurer- ous petitions to President Obregon pointing out that the plant is a part of the agricultural wealth of the na- tion in that it produces valuable fiber. sugar, a base for paper and medicine that is said to be specific for kidney disease. It was also said that it's spines. treated by an inex- pensive process. make cheap and ex- cellent photograph needles.
 President Obregon has not yet is sued the decree-but the planters are still worried and so are certain other persons.
 The "wets" have held numerous meetings within the past few weeks to organize their campaign against pro- hibition.
 Secretary of Interior Gales Is com ing in for a large share Of the criticism for the dry wave. as he was a staunch "bone dry" advocate long before he left the state of Sonora to take cabinet position. Secretary of the Treasury de la Huerta is also prohibitionist.

After somewhat stronger market

day. Receipts were estimated at
$4,000 cattle, $4,000 hogs. $4,000

Chicago. Feb. 27-May wheat Of
fered resistance to selling pressure
but July seemed friendless. al
though bulls were buoyed up by the
stubborn tone of the nearby
months ard gave support on the
weak spots There were s. good
many of the bulls who were utter
ing bearish sentiments and advised
the taking of profits. their change
of heart being due to the luli in ex-
port buying. the increase OF 1850
600 bushels in supplies on ocean
passage and the action OF the Liv-
erpool market. which followed in
stead OF led the advance. Armour
and some of the big bull leaders
gave the market support on the
dips. Exports sales of only 200 600
bushels were reported at the sea-
board. Milling demand for wheat
was SLOW. Cash wheat was un-
chanesi for choice but the low
grades sold at unheard of discounts,
No. at &c under May. Weather in
the southwest was favorable, snow
being lorted over the greater part
of Kansas and Oklahoma. United
States visible supply decreased
SI4, 900 bushels and Canadian 94O,-
900 bushels while bonded wheat in
United States decreased 2.2T5, 600
bushels
All deliveries of corn sold abOvs
40 cents today, for the first time
on the crop so far as the May de-
livery was concerned. There was
big commission house buying in
evidence while offerings were light.
On the bulge there was more or
less profit taking, and a report that
exporters were reseIling corn caus-
ed some pressure. Receipts were
smaller and all indications pointed
to a good reduction in the receipts
this week. United States visible
supply increased 3,973, 900 bushels
Oats showed a good advance
early based on reports OF a good
export demand. A reaction was
noted along with other grains. The
fact that exporters want only Sc
pound oats and the increase of O.
$4,000 bushels in the visible sup
ply were disturbing factors later.
Provisions were strong early
Buying Of lard by warehouse in
terests was a feature. Profit tax
ing caused some reaction later.

lowest point of the day, May show
