An Increase of three-fourths of a

Wheat Opened lower on selling In
duced by the favorable weather maHSl
met good buying against export sales
which brought about a rally of 2 1-2
cents May and four cents in March,
and then weakened again at the close.
The late decline was attributed to a
i-eport from Kansas City free country
offerings together with' a decline of
one to three cents in cash prices in
that market. The local spot market
was relatively steady, bearish senti
ment s based largely on the excellent
crop outlook overlooking that May
hcat is an old crop month and sell
ng at 11 to 15 rents under deliverable
grades on cash wheat. This situa
tion taken into conjunction with the
irobabiiity that continued demand for
xportwill prevent accumulation at
terminals between now and tbe end
of May contradicts the wisdom of
pressing the short side at present.

Two Reasons That Are Given
PARIS, March 2. The bolsheTilc

olas Ichaikovsky, a former Russian
politician, once a resident of Kansaa.
Tchaikovsky declared that private dis
patches confirmed Secretary Hoover'
assertion that Russia will find it phy
sically Impossible to exchange goods
with other nations and justified Am
erica in refusing to trade with the So
viets. Tho recent treaty successes, provld- .
ing for the resumption of'trade were
mere "paper victories," he said. Tch
aikovsky named the following . ob
stacles to bolshevik trade:
No food surplus, lack of incentive
for heavy planting and. the crippling
of factories. The mineral resources
are inaccessible because of transpor
tation failure. Tchaikovsky smiled
over the possibility that Lenlne was
