TRANSPORTATION
DISCUSSED TODAY
MEMBERS OF ROTARY CLUB
SEEK INFORMATION ON
RECENT ORDINANCE

Local transportation, by the old
street car service and the new buss
system, occupied the greater part
of today's Rotary Luncheon.
President Bob Spottswood
called on Bascom b. Grooms, man
ager of the Key West Electric
Company for a statement as to the
difference in efficiency and econ
omy of the two systems.
Mr.. Grooms stated that the old
railway system was not only un-
satisfactory to the public, but that
it was a losing proposition to
the electric company, and that
since more progressive cities over
the country the size of Key West
found the busses more salts
factory, the cars were eliminated.
In their stead was placed fleet
Of modern buses that all agree
are far superior to the old railway
cars.

gress of the community"
VIM. II. Malone, DR.. VIII War.

yer, Joe Pearlman, Clifford Hicks
and DIR. G. F. Kemp all expressed
the belief that the present system
IS superior to the old, and that the

to bu unnecessary.
Decision was reached that all
members of the Rotary Club be re.
quested 10 attend council meetings
and learn the facts from botf
sides.
A motion was made by Chas. H

largely of an investment character
brought about a sharp advance in
wheat values today. Traders gave
much attention to reports that Dor
dered on the sensational regarding the
inferior quality of the Argentine crop
as a whole. Closing quotations on
wheat were strong, 10 to 3sc net high
err May (new) 1.62a to 1923 and July
1.41s to 1.413. with corn at &c decline
to &c gain, oats to &c up and pro-
visions varying from 10c setback to
rise of 22c.
According to some authorities as
much as 40,0Uv,000 bushels of Argen-
tine wheat is of a grade so poor that
the best weight is less than SO pounds
to the bushel. A decided upturn in
with this circumstance and was an adj
ditional influence toward higher prices
here. Houses with eastern connec-
tions took prominent part in the
purchasing movement and with Offer
ings light and the market readily
moved up grade, especially as fair
export demand for North American
wheat was In evidence. Highest prices
of the day in the wheat market were
reached shortly before the finish and
yesterdays bottom ngures. Among the
contributing factors were scantiness
of domestic receipts and word that
northwestern stocks are decreasing
more rapidly; besides, some hard WIN
ter wheat here was sold to Buffalo at
a good premium. In addition, soft
wheat states sent few crop com
plants. On the other hand, crop re-
ports from the southwest were aus
picious.
Corn prices Jagged throughout: the
day. Better weather was bearish in
fiuence and no aggressive buying was
apparent. Oats sympathized with
wheat rather than with corn.
Provisions averaged higher owing
chiefly to foreign buying of lard.
