futures trading Tuesday was mod
crate, with a considerable number
of pit traders on the side-lines
awaiting release of the govern
ment report at the close of trading
tomorrow. This report will estimate
the acreage farmers intend to plant
this spring.
May rye was nervous, as usual,
and traders were inclined to fol-
low the action at Winnipeg. There
lack of aggressive buying on the
upturns and the finish showed a
loss of more than a cent for the
day.
Selling in the oat pit, particularly
on resting orders, restricted up
turns, but the offerings were fair
ly well absorbed resulting in some
short covering toward the close.
At the finish oats were IA to IL
higher than yesterdays close, May
80. Rye was unchanged to 1 IA
lower, May $2.18 1884. Barley
was unchanged to / cent higher,
May $1.26 IL. Wheat and corn held
at ceilings, $1.83 IL and $1.21 IL
respectively.
Barley was independently strong,
advancing the September delivery
to the ceiling on reports that Switz-
erland wants barley for fall ship
ment.

Airline Wins New Stops
AT Dublin, Frankfurt
By the Associated Pre,,

The Civil Aeronautics Board to-
day authorized Pan American Air
ways to include Dublin, Fire, as ar
intermediate stop on the United
tates-to-London route, and Frank
furt, Germany, as an intermediate
stop between Brussels, Belgium, and
Prague, Czechoslovakia.
The board also granted temporary
authorization to Pan American to
fly from Vienna, Austria, to Istan-
bul, Turkey, via Naples. This ac-
ton is intended, the CAB said, to
prevent a delay in service to Turkey
as result of "the present failure
to secure certain operating rights
in the Balkan countries through
which Pan American is certificated." :"
In the same opinion, the board
denied Pan Americans application
to serve Paris in addition to Mar
sellles and refused to grant permis-
sion to Pan American to provide
general service into Spain.
The board added that actual ex-
perience" may show the need for
adjustments in the route pattern it
authorized.
Later developments" the board
said, may establish that it would
be wise, for example, not only to
admit Pan American to Paris but
to bring about an integration be-
tween the Central European system
of Pan American and it's route that
now ends in MarSeilles.''

The Agriculture Department to-

Farmers may become eligible for
payments from the fund by adopt
ing soil and water conservation

experts of the department and by
local farmer committees.
These practices include: % Appli-
cation of lime, fertilizers and other
materials; co planting of cover

and grass seeds; "a measures for
controlling erosion and water con-
