as desired by Senator Walsh:
1.-Call Edward Mclean. Wash.

an intimate friend OF President
Harding and other leaders in the
administration. TO learn what he
knows or is willing TO tell about the
inception OF the scheme 10 lease the
naval oil reserves and who was in
on the play.
2.--Call c. Bascom slemp. secre-
tary 10 President Coolidge, for ques.
tioning about conversations he is
supposed TO have had with Mclean
and certain government officials.
3.-call Harry +. Sinclair for ques.
tioning about vdrious phases of his
lease OF Teapot Dome naval reserve
in the hope that indirect evidence
now before the committee may be OBJ
tanned in form permitting It's use in
criminal prosecutions.
The committee admittedly ran into
stone wall when former Secretary
Of Interior Fall refused to take the
stand and tell his story. II is
feared Sinclair and even Edward
l.. Doheny-the two leasers OF the
naval rcserves-may now decline TO
testify further and that the only
hope OF tearing tho lid off lies in
obtaining the inside story from the
source already mentioned.
Slemp was in Palm Beach. Fla,
about the same Tina as Fail and
Mclean.
II was at that time that Mclean
said he had loaned" 100000 to
Fail and later retracted his state

had never been cashed. Officials OF

 Selling pressure today increased against a variety of railroad issues which recently had been yielding to profit taking. St. Paul, Seaboard. Frisco, Chicago Great Western, Balti- more and Ohio and Southern railway liens all worked lower. Chesapeake and Ohio convertible lives, however, were favorably affected by the strength of the roads shares. Louisville and Nash vile 5s gained a point.
 Liberty bonds reacted further on the stiffening of money rates. Foreign bonds also were shaded fractionally. losses being recorded by Copenhagen 51as, Swiss 51zs and Dutch East In- dies 51ss. @-s .,t.. '

ALL LCRAINS RISE TO NEW HEIGHTS
Prices Soar In Face Of Immense Profit Taking
 Sales

CHICAGO. Dec. 1O.-In the face of immense selling to realize pro1ts, wheat, corn and oats today all estap- lished new high price records TOT the season. It was the third successive day of record breaking advances Tn wheat and corn. new upturn Tn wheat quotations at Liverpool ana decrease of 6,011 bushels in the worio available supply of wheat were among the stimulating factors. Wheat closed unsettled at the same as yesterdays finish to lie higher; May, $1.66 h Co 1.66M, and July, S1.46h @1. .46% corn, Nc up: oats unchanged to Ac off, and provisions varying from 12c decline to 25c gain.
 Throughout the day. fluctuations were rapid in the wheat market, preaks as well as bulges of cent or more being unusually frequent. Trade was of such large volume that individual operations counted for little. It was current gossip, however. that Europeans were active buyers of future deliveries here. and there also were estimates that new export business had been done amounting to 1,o00,000 bushels.
 At the highest point today, wheat showed 7a4c to 12c gain compared with last weeks lowest level. In some quar- ters. this fact was taken as explaining a reactionary trend apparent in the late dealings Earlier, the huge selling to realize profits had been absorbed readily by new sets of buyers, but tow ard the last the volume of offerings acted as a weight on the market.
 Hot dry weather in Argentine contin- uine to injure the corn crop, there was largely responsible for the upward swing of values here for corn and oats. Rural offerings of corn remained small.
 Provisions, like grain, reached new peak prices for the season. put iater gave way under increased selling, es- pecially of lard.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 10.-The cotton market was decidedly dull today with narrow trading and a limited range of fluctuations During the morning session the trend was upward. Liver pool was better than due and moderate trade buying developed which rendered shorts cautious. There was also more or less covering. The market turned easier around noorl due to reports there was an unsatisfactory demand for spots and the outlook for forward business was not pressing. Buyers eased off in the afternoon but rallied at the end. slowly and finally made new lows late closing unchanged for the day.
 Responding to better cables tho mar ket opened at an advance of to ' points and gradually advanced during the morning on quiet absorption Of contracts by trade interests and some covering, 19 to q points above yester- days close. The afternoon reaction car ried the market IS to 20 points down from the highs and prices to a level with yesterdays close. There was Q slight rally in the late trading and the and net gains for the day of 2 to 4 points on later positions.
 The market appeared to be in a very uncertain mood the entire session with little inclination to trade on either side of tn account. A belief in much larger consumption this year is the main sustaining influence. Exports for the day totalled 32.619 bales. The ex- cess of exports this season over last has reached S32.396 bales.

COTTON REACTS
 AFTER ADVANCE
Bulk Of Demand Supplied By Southern Selling
 Or Realizing

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-An early ad- vance in today's cotton market car ried the price of January up to 23.04c, or 27 points above the low level of yes terday and 22 points net higher. OSfer- ings increased above the 23c level, how ever, with the south a moderate seller and prices weakened in tn afternoon un- g. 75c and closed at 22.S1c. the general market closing steady, net points high CT to points lower.
 The opening was steady at an ad- vance of 3 to 12 points in response to relatively steady Liverpool cables, with some early trade buying reported. The apparent persistency of the trade de- easiness and a furry or covering sent prices up to 22.86c for December and 23 40c on March, or about 13 to % points net higher.
 The bulk of the demand appeared to have been supplied at these figures by southern selling or realizing and the market weakened in the early aftrnoon when there was same Wall street selling accompanied by talk of less satis- factory tone in the stock market.
 Prices reacted to 22.66c for Decem- her and 23.11c for March, but the close was a few points up from the lowest on covering and trade buying, encour- aged by reports of firmer spot situa- tion in the southwest.
 Some of the forenoon buying was at- tributed to reports that the bales were running very light in the CarolinH and in Oklahoma also were well below 6O0 Georgia, and that bales recently received tending to confirm the government crop pounds. These reports were regarded as estimate last Monday, m spite of the heavy ginning figures.
