Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. February 29.-Wheat
averaged little higher early today.
Reports indicated need for immediate
moisture Southwest, and there were
signs of another decrease in the
United States visible supply total Mon
day.
Opening unchanged to 4 cent
higher; May, 1.0oh-ss July, 91-91h;
wheat then held near to these limits.
Corn also started unchanged to Il up;
May, 60A-ss. and continued firm.
Reacting from the slight advance,
wheat pivoted at around 81 a bushel,
May delivery, and at times fell lower.
Setbacks accompanied news that
overnight export business In Canadian
amounted to only about 100000
bushels, and that brokers in Winnipeg
seemed to be we'll supplied with SELL
ing orders. Another bearish factor was
announcement the Santa Fe Railroad
estimated that Kansas stands to reap
131 ,000, 900 bushels this year. COM
pared with about 60,000,000 last year
and about 80,000,000 in 1884. The
1928-32 average, however, was IT,
430, 900 bushels.
The Santa Fe crop report also said
that Oklahoma has enough moisture
for immediate needs, except in the
northwestern counties. Nearly mil
Lion acres In these counties, though,
must have a generous supply Of mois-
ture and q let-up in heavy wind blow
ing soon to make anything like crop.
Corn and oats eased with wheat.
Provisions went lower, responsive to
downturns of hog values.

The action of the commission
finds no support in right, principle

and arbitrary. 1t violates the car
dinal precept upon which the
constitutional safeguards of per-
sonal liberty ultimately rest-that
this shall be a government Of
laws
Securities and exchange COM
mission officials feared after hur-
ried examination of the opinion
that it might hamper them ma
terially in enforcement of strict re-
quirementS over stock and Secur-
tiles issues. They contended the
work of the commission might be
seriously embarrassed"
"Sutherlands opinion, however,
minimized the Importance OF the
commissions regulation on regis
tration statements. He emphasized
belief that ito the precise extent
that the mere will of an official
or an official body is permitted 10
take the place of allowable Off
cial discretion or to supplant the
standing law as rule OF human
conduct. The government ceases
to be one of laws and becomes one
