Chicago Produce Market

tuitdSu, May ~.
Wheat scored upturns in price here
today largely as result of strength
in the Winnipeg market, where export
buying appeared to be active. The
wheat closing here was unsettled. / to
sIt cent net higher, July LOG! to
1.o63 and September 1.07t to 1.07a q (.
Corn iii N.led at &c decline to lQ3c
gains, oa,s at &c off to shade advance
and provisions varying from sc back
to a rise of &c.
Except for slight depression at the
start the wheat market showed a de-
cided upward tendency until the final
trading, when sympathy with late
weakness of corn had some bearish eff
feet TIE initial hestancy of the Chi
cago wheat market was ascribed to low
prices of sucerities at New York. but
wheat buying here seemingly against
sales at Winnipeg led soon to ma
terial advance for wheat. In connec-
ton with the Winnipeg strength, it
was said estimates pointed to a much
smaller worlds crop than last year
Furthermore, estimates of European
buying of wheat today totalled as high
as $4,000. bushels, mostly Canadian
States via the Gulf of Mexico.
The fact that the McNary- Haughen
Dill was to be taken up at Washing
ton today acted as more or less of a
chSck on wheat selling here,
Besides, some unfavorable crop re-
Forts were current. The weat her map
showed lower temperatures over most
OF the country, but none that reached
the freezing point.
In the corn market the unsea sonable
cold weather as we'll as scantness of
receipts made shorts anxious. Late an
rouncement. however, that vessels had
been chartered to bring 440, 00o bushels
OF corn to Chicago from Duluth forced
q sudden reaction. Oats fluctuated in
line with corn.
Firmness of hog values steadied the
provision market

commentator"
Il told them I regretted very much
that l was unable to take that
course; that the board already had
passed on the claim and had given in
structions to the legal department to
proceed with litigation and enforce
the claims"
In view Of that action, he asserted,
he suggested that they take their
plea to his superiors on the board.
Did they say that the president
had ever seen the Pepper opinion ?"
asked Mr.. Connally.
NO." Parker replied.
He said his information was that
the senators did not take up the
case further with the board
In effect, Mr.. Peppers opinion
would have obligated the board to
release the mortgage and pay all
claims of the company, including
one of 100000 representing ear
nest money put UP by Tyler, and
Arthur Sharp. an Official Of the COM
pany.

eral Stone was given very active

Auburn Khan May
Buy Shiloh Property

Lewiston, May e0.-Plans for the
purchase Of Shiloh. the famous and
picturesque Kingdom on the Hill
erected in Durham by Elijah Sanford
and his followers, are underway by
the Auburn klavern of the Ku Klux
Khan.
One OF the klansmen said Tuesday
that a price Of $4,000 has been set
and an option offered the Khan on the
property, but this figure is believed to
be extraordinarily high. Judge Henry
E. Coolidge, who has always been
counsel and handles the business af-
fairs of the Kingdom, took over the
property in 1921 after litigation.
Judge Coolidge now holds the war;
ranty deed. Tuesday morning he de-
clared that nobody, the Khan included,
had consulted him about the purchase
of the property, and incidentally he
was highly amused. even fiattered, at
the mentioned purchase price of $780,

proximately 22.925,0O0 bushels be-
low that of 1923 If the official fore
cast proves correct. This is in line
with repeated indica tons that farm
ers were deliberately limiting the
crop to correct low prices. 1t shows
that the farmers are making an at
tempt to settle for themselves the
wheat problem while government Of
ficials are discussing ways and

that the current condition of the
crop is high in only one state. This
is Oregon whose crop was appraised
at one percent above normal.

National Geographic Society
Exploring Noted Ruins in Mexico
Temple Classed as
Most Ancient in
the americas.
Geologist Darton of
d. c. on Way to
Join Expedition.

N. H. Darton, geologist. left Wash
ington today to join the National
Geographic Society expedition which
is exploring an ancient temple in the
Valley of Mexico, the oldest ruins so
far discovered in the Americas.
DR.. Barton will study especially the
sequence of geological events, includ-
ing the lava flows and the recession
of Lake Texcoco, with a view to de-
termining more nearly the exact pc
riod of the civilization which -four
ished on our continent some 1000
years ago.
1t is believed the highly developed
civilization at Cuicuilco existed a
thousand years before the pyramids
were built and 5000 years before SEN
nacherib's great palace was erected.
Byron Cummings, head of the ex-
petition, already has reported re-
markable finds among the lava-in in
cased temple mound-1nds ranging
from pottery, images and sculpture TO
parts Of human skeletons.
1t is believed the mound was built
on or near the shore of Lake Texcoco
originally, but the lakes water line
is now twelve miles distant. The lake
had receded considerable distance
when a sudden volcanic eruption halr
buried the temple mound, which still
was inhabited. In the centuries since
the eruption further accumulatlons
have covered the lava bed.
Therefore, the geologists task Is to
estimate the time it took the top
