NOTED SWORDSMEN
MAY MATCH SKILL

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, February 11.-French and
italian duelling swords seem likely to
flash again in the biggest fencing
match of recent years. Lucien
Gaudin, whose title to fame as Eu-
ropes best swordsman is disputed
seriously only by Aldo Nadi. probably
will meet his Italian adversary in a
match some time this year.
Gaudin has several times defeated
Nadi with foils, often by close margins,
but the Italian never has been salts
fed. A year ago the Frenchman of
fored to meet him again, but under
certain conditions which Nadi never
accepted. Now French fencing en-
thusiasts have arranged for a purse
of $4,000 lire about $4,000 for Nadi
and the expenses of a bout, and they
hope Gaudin will defend the French
colors. Nadi turned professional a
few years ago.

Price gains scored by wheat were
in the face of considerable selling
pressure from houses with connections
northwest. On the other hand lead
ing British authority gave confirn1a-
ton to statements that European re-
ouirementS of wheat during the WIN
ter and spring are to be heavy and will
have to be furnished from exporters
supplies. He also said that Europe'S
needs may turn out to be in excess of
available supplies unless Argentine
shipments become sufficient to over
whelm the market buyers.
Meanwhile, less favorable adviceS
relative to the condition of the new
domestic winter wheat crop counted
also as a Stimulus to buyers and SO
likewise did announcement that the
worlds present available supply of
wheat showed only $4,000 bushels in
crease for the week. Figures were
current, too, that the disappearance of
wheat so far this season is 22,000,000
bushels in excess of last year, an
amount implying heavy consumption
abroad. There was also talk that large
visible supplies in the United States
and Canada are at the expense of
stocks of country elevators and on
farms.
Rains over the greater part of the
corn belt we're regarded as likely to
interfere with husking and with the
movement of corn from rural districts
as well as causing deterioration in
grade Comparative smallness of fresh
arrivals of corn at leading terminals
today tended further to lift values.
Kansas City and Omaha together re-
ceived only about 100 cars. Besides,
corn export demand was again in evi-
dence. Oats shared in the strength OF
corn.
Prospective larger arrivals of hogs
gave a downward slant to the provi-
sion market.
