WHEAT STRONG IN
CHICAGO TRADING
Corn and OATS However, Dis
play Marked IrreguIarity.

BIZ United Financial
. CHICAGO, March 15.-Wheat was
strong in today's trading on the local
board. Corn and oats ruled irregular
Short covering caused wheat to
rally following several dips and the
close was fractionally higher Late
drmness in Liverpool also helped
local sentiment, The English market
was aided by expectations Of small
world shipments next week and
letter demand for Manitoba and Ar
gentine wheat
Further liquidation carried May
corn to the lowest price in several
weeks. Buying on the dip by shorts,
however stimulated buying sentiment
and a slight recovery was scored near
the close. July was up u due TO un-
favorable crop news and September
remained dormant
May oats frmed up with an i'm
rrovement in cash demand July
slumped on account of favorable crop
rews.
Provisions were strong and higher
with hogs and reports of a decrease
in packers supplies.

HARVARD STUDENTS
CALCULATE UPkEEP
Graduate School Figures L
Costs Each S4,05 an Hour,

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March IS
Some Of the students in the Harvard
graduate school Of business admins
tration have figured out that their
instruction costs them each $4.05 per
classroom hour. The figure is based
upon the cost Of tuition, living ex
penses in Cambridge, and the value
Of a students time if he were in out
side employment, estimated at $50
per week.
The students undertook to compile
these figures after it had been an
nounced by the deans office that the
cost Of operating the business school
Is being met solely from it's income
like any sound business. The only
income of the business school is the
tuition Of it's students, which with
present enrolment is about $4,000
per year.
1t is the opinion Of some Of the fac
ulty that the knowledge on the part
Of the students that their instruction
is costing each one Of them $4.05 an
hour results in a serious determination
toward their work not otherwise OBJ
tainable.

PORKE Rs RECOVER
MID-WEEK SLUMP
Shipper Demand Accounts
for 10-Cent Advance,


Hog prices succeeded in checking
their decline in trading at the local
livestock market today by advancing
q dime as the result of light receipts
and an urgent demand from outside
accounts. Shippers were actice from
the start of trading and were joined
in their activity by local killers, who
followed up the advance. Scarcely
$500 head were on sale, including SIS
carry-overs from Fridays MARKET
and a speedy clearance was effected
at $7.70 for all weights and classes,
vompared with $3.50, Fridays pre-
dominating price. A top Of $775 was
paid for q few punches, compared
with Fridays top Of $40 for sim
liar Kinds. Both sows and pigs were
strong to 25 cents higher, sows sell
ing down from 1915 and pigs down
from 81, though choice kinds were
able to command "a slight premium.
Prices closed the week unchanged
from last Saturdays quotations,
though the market had fiuctuated
within a 30-cent range, the top hav-
ing been $3.50, while the lowest was
$780, paid on Friday.
Only 100 head of cattle were offered
for sale and no real test of values
could be made, but prices were gen
orally regarded as steady Steers
closed the week about steady with
Mondays prices, despite the mid-week
slump Heifers, Gamers, cutters and
bulls remained practically unchanged,
but good cows were about a quarter
higher.
Receipts in the calf market bal
anced the demand and prices held
about steady with choice kinds bring
ing s14.5O and the bulk $3.50 to $14.
Receipts $50
Trading in the sheep and lamb de
partment was on an unchanged basis,
lambs selling down from SIS and sheep
down from S9.50. Receipts 100. Lamb
prices Chased the week about 81 lower
than the high time.

BIZ United Financial
NEW YORK, March 15.-Income
tax day brought no general selling
in the bond market today.
Indeed, the cheap call money rate
of 4 per cent ruling over the week

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Stick-
ing doggedly to its task Of cleaning
up the history of Albert B. Falls
financial dealings with oil magnates,
the Senate oil investigating committee
will make another effort next week
to get the facts of these matters:
l. Whether Harry F. Sinclair gave
Fall more than $4,000, which ]. w
Zevely, Sinclair's man, has testified
Fall was given.
2. Whether the 100000 E. L.
Doheny testified he gave Fall really
went for purchase of Falls New
Mexico ranch or was part OF a fund
for a much more important purpose.
8. If Doheny's 500 900 was part of
fund, who else contributed to 1t and
how much and just what this fund
was used for.

Considerable unsettlemept was
created toward the end of the first

Springfield, which dropped to 1872, n
record low. This weakness reflected
apprehension regarding the safety of
