together for the consolation final at
1880 p. m. Perring, lanky Huron CEN
ter, made ten field goals and four
free throws against Pocatello, and his
team couldn't help going into the semi
finals. Huron won, 33 to 16.
The Huron team, tagging by a point
at the end of the first period, jumped
into commanding lead in the second
and finished as it pleased against the
lads from the baked potato state. Per-
ring fell but two points short of the
all-time tournament record for indi-
vidual scoring set by Fisher, Lincoln,
Neb., forward in the Lincoln alpine
game, which opened the tournament.
Huron's entry into the semi-finals
marks the third time in four years
that South Dakota team has been
among the last four survivors. Yank-
ton, S. D., was a finalist in 1924, and
Salem, s. D., a semi-finalist last year.
Batesville, Ark, joined Huron, S. D.,
in the national basket ball semi finals
by defeating Grand Forks, N. D., to-
night, 81 to 81. Grand Forks was
forced to try long shots for the greater
part of the game and the Batesville
teamwork was too smooth for the Da-
kotans.

FOUR HIGH SCHOOL QUINTETS
FIGHT WAY TO SEMI-FINALS

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, April l R.-Big buying
for Europe helped to rally wheat today
from declines due to unofficial monthly
crop reports. Summaries were more
bearish than had been looked for.
Wheat closed firm at the same as yes
terday's finish to n cent higher; corn
n cent to " cent up; oats A to n
to ss cent off, and provisions varying
from a shade decline to a rise of 10
cents. M
Export purchasing of North Ameri-
can wheat today was estimated at as
much as 100000 bushels, including
both domestic wheat and Canadian
This fact together with late buying on
the part of previous speculative sellers
who were in a position to collect a
profit more than overcame at the last
the losses which earlier had followed
issuance of private April crop esti-
mates that were we'll above the aver
age of the last ten years.
Another bearfsh influence early was
word of enlarged shipments from Ar
,gentina and Australia amounting to
1O,442,00O bushels for the week. Ac-
cording to an average of the private
April crop estimates the condition of
domestic winter wheat in now 86.2 per
cent, compared with 71.S last December
and S4,1 year ago. The reports taken
as whole suggested total crop of
5S2,0O0000 bushels, with about 2,0OO,O0
acres more than in 1926, showing
abandonment much less than normal.
Guesses beforehand as to what yield
today's reports would indicate ranged
from 55O,OO0,OOO bushels to 5SO,O0O,00O
bushels. incidentally, it was pointed
out today that Kansas, the leading
wheat state, does not promise as well
as a year ago.
Corn owed it's strength largely to a
report that there are 3.3 per cent more
hogs in the country than last year. Be-
sides weather conditions today were
sunfavorable for field wok. Oats met
with commission house selling from
eastern sources.
Provisions were rather dull .an6
without significant change.

Jersey and California Petroleum. While
the O'Fallon case decision was adverse
to the railroads, officials were inclined
to take an optimistic view of it on the
ground that they now have definite
vehicle on which they can carry the
disputed points to the federal courts for
final determination. The raising of
the rate valuation question in the Los
Angeles and Salt Lake case, which was
recently decided by the supreme court,

merely dismissed the case on the

broximately $9S,OOO, 900. The bonds will
be redeemed at the bank of issue or
any federal reserve bank or branch
on May l.
The bonds have reached the callable
period and it was felt that the present
easy money market would enable the
farm loan board to sell a lower rate
bond than those due in 1937-39.
The call of the ~ per cent bonds
was seen in treasury circles as indi-
eating that the farm loan board would
offer a new issue at a lower interest
rate before May /.
