DR. COOK STILL
 STICKS TO STORY
Insists Future Will Prove His
 Claims to Polar Discovery

Kansas City Jan. 25 Rt-Thrust again into the limelight through claims and counter claims as to whether or not he discovered the North Pole, Dr. Frederick A. Cook, now q prisoner at the federal peni- tentiary at Leavenworth. remains unTavered in his claim to the dis covery.
 The renewed controversy. precipi- Itated by the reported statement of Captain Roald Amundsen that Cooks claims are as we'll founded as Admiral R. E. Pcary's was be- clouded last night when Amundsen denied the statement and declared he had been misunderstood.
 The purposted statement support Ing Dr. Cook brought statements from Vilhjalmar Stefansson and Donald MacMilan, noted Arctic ex- plorers, upholding Peary's claim, These statements were followed by publication of letter from Dr. Cook to the Kansas City Journal Post that further discoveries would bring vindication of his disputed claims and asking that Judgment be with held.
 What I said vas" Captain Amundsen said in denying the first statement attributed to him, that l could not form an opinion-that one similarly situated cannot form an opinion-without first having the opinion of both Cook and Peary be- fore me for study. was misquoted." Amundsen said he meant to cast no reflection on the work of Admiral Peary.
 Tn his letter to the Journal-Post, pr. Cook declared that the recent aerial dash to the North Pole by Captain Amundsen, and other ex- plorations were bearing out his con- tentions and that further work in the Arctic will prove his claim.
 Tt is by his production that a pioneer must stand or fall" the let ter said, and I am willing to rest my case with future generations by lmy published records" Dr. Cook wrote that many other Polar dash es will be undertaken soon, and "when this latter work of eXplora- ton Is completed the world will be lin a position to pass final judgment upon my work and that of Peary."
 MacMillan's Story
 Commander MacMillan declared that he stood on the spot where Cook raised his flag and called it the North Pole, and it was five hundred miles from the North Pole" Com. mander MacMillan was one Of the three white survivors of Peary's ex- petition.
 There Is no doubt at all," said Commander MacMillan, fin the mind of every man who went with Peary, that Peary reached the Nortf Pole. There Is no doubt In the mind of virtually everybody that Dr Cook came within five hundred miles Of it."
 MecMillan also states that "Peary's claim 10 having reached the North Pole Is fully as good a' Amundsen's to having reached tn, South Pole.
 Dr. Cook. in his letter. says he va: the first to report the physical con ditions at the Pole and that all worl since has tended to confirm my rc, ports. Rear Admiral Schley wal the first to point out this phase O the rival claims and the spirit of hi! letter is as true today as 1t was tht day 1t was written.
 Tn substance" he said;
 The reports of Cook and Pear! are the same. Either or both hay, been 10 the same place and describ ed the same conditions-or he wht came second copied the first, no on' has ever accused me Of cominl second"

Chicago Produce Market
(By the Associated Press)

ShlSdSO, Il GU. ~
Wheat underwent a material set
back in price today and in some quar-
tiers this result was to a considerable
degree associated with proposals to
amend the grain futures act so as to
restrict any individual from trades ex-
ceeding 100000 bushels day. The
wheat market closed weak. 1sc to &c
net lower, May 1.655 to 1.66 and July
1.43a to 1.4Ss, with corn to &c up,
oats at &c decline to &c gain and pro-
visions 12c to zoe down.
Lowest prices of the day in the
wheat market came in the final hour
and after news was out that Senator
Capper had introduced legislation such
as referred to. Throughout the day,
though, noticeable feature had been
that on all bulges of price the amount
of offerings broadened out especially
from houses with eastern connections,
and that declines followed. To some
extent this was due to reports at hand
err favorable conditions for domestic
winter wheat. The fact that Liver
pool quotations were lower than ex-
pected and that Argentine clearances
for the week showed liberal increase
counted also as bearish influence.
Numerous transient rallies that en-
livened wheat prices were based more
or less on prospects of small farm re-
sevres and on chances that exports of
durum wheat would bring about larger
States visible supply. Besides, IT was
commended that July delivery repre-
senting the 1926 crop is on a good ex-
port basis. Today's export buying of
North American wheat was estimated
at 100000 bushels, o total somewhat
greater than had been usual of late,
but this together with other news OF q
bullish character proved Insufficient TO
offset the diminished receipts and
smallness Of rural offerings.
Oats were steadied by the action Of
corn.
In line with the hog market, provis-
ions receded.

Further irregularity developed in
the foreign exchange market Demand
sterling slipped off to S4S5s, the low

anese yen continued their downward
movement by dropping 7-16 of cent
to 4542 cents.
Bond prices maintained O firm tone
in today's uneventful trading, although
cross currents ruff1ed the surface of
the market Money conditions remain
ed firm, but investment circles regard
ed the stiffening tendency as natural
in view of preparations to meet tax
demands and other disbursements due
early in March.
New financing continued to hold the
limelight in bond circles. The S2O,-
100000 loan for the italian Public
Utility Credit Institute was formally
announced for offering tomorrow at
price of SO for 26-year per cent
bonds. The underwriting syndicate is
headed by Blair & Company. Nego-
, tfations were reported under way for q
large loan to the German sugar banks,
possibly totalling $25,000,00O, and re-
ports persisted in the financial district
that another attempt would be made
to float a second installment of the
German potash loan in this market.
