GRAIN

CHICAGO CThursday), April L.
Wheat hesitated a little in the
early trade today but the advances
again got under way and further
good gains were established. Fear of
the passage of the McNary- ugen
bill fixing a basic price of wheat
given as the reason of the recent
short covering and this also checked
selling pressure.
Shifting of hedges from May to
July helped the May delivery while
crop news for the northwest telling
of deficiency in sub-soil moisture
created demand for the new crop
months. Some betterment in the out
side trade was noted, Strength in
corn induced locals to buy. The Eas-
ter ho'i0ays, which start tomorrow
and continued until Tuesday in Eu-
rope, was given as the reason for
the lull in export trade. Mills did not
follow the advance in futures.
Primary receipts were much less
than last year and also much smaller
than the shil meats.
Wheat reacted in the late trading
and selling by local longs. Last
prices were IS to sc higher. May,
$1.02 Is M1,03 to $1.027 -; July, $1.05 Il
to $1.05; September. $1,O61s to
$1.06; December. $1.0S&.
Corn was under pressure at the
start but the character of the buying
on the opening dip was impressive,
causing shorts to cover apd checking
bear pressure. 1t looked as if the up.
ward movement of yesterday and to-
day is for the purpose of forcing d
sleeping short interest TO stampede
intorcoVering but so far they have
failed in their purpose, if such was
the object. Rec eipts are light and
SPOT market followed the upturn in
futures. Shipping demand is better.
Corn lost all of its early advance
under selling by local longs. Last
prices were 1sc higher to &c lower.
May, 1875 to 7S1ac; July, 1914 to
79$scc; September. 1874 to 1850.
Oats followed other grains. Shorts
wcrs covering and pressure was
light. Duluth advised a local dealer
that all but 225,000 bushels of their
stock had been sold to go out. Also
that they had No. white, oats to
sell at IL cents over Chicago July,
elf Chicago. Country offerings to ar
rive increased on the bulge and So
00G bushels were booked late yester-
day and more this morning. Local
shippers bought back few cars
from the east.
Oats were unchanged to &c high
er; May, 473s to 4712c; July, 441a
to 443sc; September 4015c.
Provisions were slightly easier UNI
der a little selling by hedgers.
Lard closed 212c lower; ribs un-

RESIGNATION
BY MAC CD0NALD
Is To Present Resignation
Stanley Baldwin Will
Then Be Called

LONDON, Nov. 4 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) The cabinet of Ram
say Macdonald, Great .Britain's first
labor government, resigned today.
King George accepted the resigna-
ton.
Later, Stanley Baldwin, Conserva-
tive leader and former prime minis
ter, will be summoned by King
George to form a ministry.
The government headed by Mr..
Macdonald, self-educated son of a
Scotch peasant, was in power nine
months during which it's defeat was
possible at any time by combined
vote in the House of the Conserva-
tives and Liberals who jointly out
numbered the Loborites.
The Labor prime minister's for
eign policy. envisaging resumption OF
the entente cordiale with France,
close cooperation with the League
of Nations and settlement of the
reparation question, met with gen.
eral appreciation but it was on his
attitude toward Russie, that Mr.
Macdonald first faced the wave OF
disapproval which eliminated in his
defeat.
Fulfilling what amounted to a
campaign pledge, he extended recog-
milton to Russia and concluded a
preliminary commercial agreement
with the Soviet government which,
however, has not yet been ratified,

Condition Is Condemned
FILL BAD SITUATION

On the recommendation of State
Highway Commissioner Abraham Je-
lin that body yesterday decided to
extend the culvert over Spa Springs
on the border line between this city
and Woodbridge so as to make a
better connecting link on Amboy
avenue which has just been paved
and is a part of Route to the shore,
This decision was reached after the
subject had been reconsidered for
a better method of reaching Amboy
avenue, as relocated. than by making
a fill near the spring. The state has
already made this I'LL but the twist
In the road at this point makes it
both dangerous and liable to delay
traffic.
The highway commission had for
merly refused to construct the cul-
vert when asked to do so by the
Perth Amboy council which main
tained 1t was only half in Perth Am
boy, the other halt being In Wood
bridge township as the creek is the
border line. When the state refused
to construct this culvert which
would connect the new road with the
old road in a straight line it started
at once to connect the two roads by
the road would come to dead -end
1T the creek and necessitate all traffic
making turn in going from one
road to the other.
A communication was received by
the board from the Associated Au-
tomobile Clubs of New Jersew call
ing attention to the poor condition of
Herbert street in this city. This
street is now used by shore traffic IN
going between Smith and Market
streets and is the only piece of un-
paved load along the route in this
city. The communication pointed out
that this is a city street with the
jurisdiction vested in Perth Amboy.
Although the city has not acted to
repair Herbert street it has already
awarded the contract to pave Grace
street which parallels Herbert
street and connects Smith and Mar
ket streets. This paving work has
oeen delayed. City Engineer Booz
said today. because of inability to
secure curbs which must be set be-
fore the street is laid. The paving
If Grace street will mean complete
.hain of paved streets through this
,ity for all shore traffic.
