eS in tn final hour ranged from to
2 cents bushel.

cent, May $1.03A. and oats was *

that enough moisture had been re-
ceived in the southwest to check
dust storms.
Ffrmer Argentine offerings had
bullish influence on the Liverpool
market. Reports that Germany had
bought $4,000 bushels of Argentine
wheat today also contributed to the
buying in the British market. VIM
nipeg prices, however, followed the
trend at Chicago.
Corn prices developed weak tone
after a steady opening. A slower
demand for cash corn pit q check on
buying power.
Oats, rye, and soybeans also NOV

What happened at Congressman
Hamilton Fish's house, If anything,
is a mystery, but he said today he
was kidding when he introduced
house resolution SO. Tough luck,
gents.
Potato salad in a paper bucket
can get mighty tiresome.
The congressman's resolution was
designed TO keep the wives OF fed
eral officials. his own included, at
home cooking supper, instead Of
gallivanting around, making social
calls.
The membership mostly was en-
thusiastic when Rep. Fish started
whereas!ng about husbands suffer-
ing in silence while their exhausted
and irritable wives tried vainly to
keep up with the social whirl.
He aimed his law directly at the
custom of officials wives calling
upon each other, for the sole pur-
pose Of leaving their cards with the
buffers. This, he said, creates a
vicious circle TO the detriment OF
the health, nerves and dispositions
