that anything will be gained in this parti-
culaT instance by giving this property O.
way to the Federal Government. 1t may
be argued that the Federal Government
is giving Us d large yearly appropriation,
but when all Is said and done l don't
think that this is such q compensation
which warrants our giving way this
particular property TO the Federal Govern
meut Before going into this matter We
have to take into consideration the useful
ness IF the Agricultural Station to this is
land, he area for making experiments
and whether these experiments are bene-
fitting The island. These things should be
considered before we give over the
Station as a gift. If it can be shown by

tributing to The advancement of agricul-
ture in the island and they reed further

TRADERS EXPECT
NARROW MARKET.
Buying in Wheat Likely
Only on Breaks.
BIZ United Press

CHICAGO, April 14.-The wheat
trade is inclined to look for narrow
market for the present, with buying
on breaks only and accepting mod
crate profits being favored by sew
era1 commission houses.
Opening quotations were I'M
changed to 1sc higher than yester.
days close. The idea is that export
ers will continue to absorb wheat
on all sharp declines and have
steadying effect on the market from
time to time. Liverpool came about
as due.
There was nothing in the stu
alton to change the bearish senti-
ment that exists in corn and most
traders expect to see prices work
lower. Prices opened 1sc to CSC
higher than the previous close.
Large traders who are selling May
corn short are working on the be-
lief that the latest trade develop
ments suggest the possibility that
heavy deliveries of cash corn on
May sales are not likely to find per-
manent Judgment.
Oats are devoid of interest or fea-
ture and continue to follow other
grains. Prices opened &c off to
