and December wheat were weak
and under the pressure of liquida-
ton today but most of the rest of
the grain list registered fractional
gains. Corn was firm at the finish
with the spot contract up nearly
a cent.
Long liquidation of December
wheat, which opened lower, was
spurred by reports that 100000
bushels of the grain had been tend
cred at Minneapolis. Many of the
sales were made against pur-
chases of the new crop months,
July and September, which were
steady to firm most of the day.
Some purchases of deferred
wheat futures were attributed to
short covering prompted by a re-
port on the trading floor that Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wickard had
denied he would advocate two
price plan under which parity
would be guaranteed only for that
portion of the wheat crop used do
mestically for food. A rumor that
such plan was being considered
caused heavy liquidation Thurs
day.
The trade in corn futures was
dull. At times the December con-
tract was up cent with most Of
the demand coming from shorts.
Country offerings of cash corn
were the smallest in weeks. Book
irgs were estimated at 1000 BUSH
els compared with 100000 bushels

IDAHO MAKES
GREAT RECORD
LAST SATURDAY
Defeat Washington State
-Four Straighf-End II
Years Of Slump

MOSCOW, Idaho. Jan. 31.-The
University of Idaho has achieved
what it hasn't been able to do in
the past 80 years--defeated Wash
ington State College in the fourth
straight basketball game This was
last Saturday night and the score
was in Idaho's favor 46 to 80.
Idaho last swept the series from
Washington State in 1914, and it
has been IL years since the Vandals
won series at all.
The victory gives Idaho a firmer
grip on second place in the North
ern Division of the Pacific Coast
Basketball Conference below the
University of Washington.
Idaho led at half time "a to IT.
WSC failed to claim the lead at
any time during the game but came
out strong in the second half to
close the gap to 1890 tie before
the Vandals again took command,
and the best the speedy Cougars
could do was to be content with a
lone basket for the rest of the
game.
Dale Albin of Idaho was high
point man with IA.
