MAJOR GRAINS
CLOSE HIGHER
AFTER RALLY
Corn and Oats Again Resist
Pressure as Prices
Strengthen.
BY HARTMAN w. NICHOLS.
United Press Stsff Correspondent

CHICAGO, April 21.-Although
the bulk of the business in wheat
held around Thursdays finish. A
firmer undertone was in evidence
on the Chicago Board of Trade yes
terday.
Wheat closed s cent higher, corn
was l to Is cents higher. and coats
were = to l cent higher.
Wheat rallied from early lows
toward the noon hour. On certain
advances support was lacking while
on the downturn there often was
pressure. This accounted for the
erratic price movements.
Dry weather continued in the
American northwest and a bulhsh
construction was placed on the
Modern Miller'S weekly summary
which indicated a lack of sub-soiI
reserve and also need of surface
moisture. Some dust storms were
reported in parts Of the Canadian
northwest. The winter wheat belt
Of the southwest continued dry.
New low levels for the season
were established for wheat fu-
lures in Liverpool in English cur
rency, but the market there was
unchanged to i cent higher in
American, an upturn in silver being
largely responsible for this condi-
ton. When Liverpool wheat closed
today the May option on the Eng
liSh market was but II cents under
the same future in Chicago, COM
pared with Is cents on Monday
Corn and oats again showed rela-
tive independence and resisted pres
sure throughout the day. Commits
sion and cash houses were fair buy
ers of corn. Rye broke sharply early,
but later rallied.

and his assignment this time I'M
doubtedly was entirely to his Xix

An important part of the boards
investigation thus far has had to
do with the oil situation, over which
Secretary Ickes has presided as adj
ministrator. 1t was provided with
all sorts of charges in that field,
and if these charges proved con-
vincing it would not be surprising
if he made some rather startling
recommendations to the President.

Roosevelt might be willing to go in
carrying them out, but it is con-
ceivable that they might be right
down his alley"

Favors Exchange Commission

president ROOSEVELT was
4 reported in dispatches from
Washington recently as being in
favor of a commission Of five mem
bers to administer the proposed
Stock Exchange regulation measure,
if ana when it becomes law, as well
as the securities act of 1888 The
commission idea was sponsored by
Senator Glass in the form of an
amendment to the Fletcher-Ray-
burn bill, but many people in the
financial district have held all along
that that was the proper way to
handle the situation
An appointive commission should
help materially to make effective
any regulatory measure which may
be enacted. In the first place, the
regulation of the financing and
marketing of securities in this
country is no small job. 1t should
not be a part-time assignment for
any governmental agency now in
existence because of its tremendous
Importance.

CECONDLY, a commission of that

Il is to be supposed, of course,
