Dec. 23 (AP) Wheat prices hot upward as the result of the government crop report aug gejting that the United States has already shipped abroad wheat that in needed at home. Today's opening prices ranged all the way from 2 V4 to 8 cents higher than yesterday's closing fig ures, December delivery touching l-7ai o himhel. According to a leading trade authority tho government definite ly corroborated assertions that the United States has only sufficient bread wheat available for domestic requirements until another crop Is gathered or prices advanced to a level that will cheik wheat use. The most active trading was In Mny delivery. Initial quotations for May were $1.67& to $1.70 and des pite rapid subsequent changes the market held most of the thins near to the top opening figures. The steepest ascent of prices to day in the wheat market was 9 cents a bushel for December de livery, old-style that Is, wheat de liverable this month, permitting certain grades of northern spring wheat to be furnished wiinout in curring penalties here that would otherwise bo exacted. Now style IWninbcr contracts, In which most or the business for that month is outstanding, showed an almost equal Jump, fl i cents a bushel to 1.7 Ott. Wheat closed nervous, 6 to 8 net higher, December $1.73 to $1.73 Vi and May $1.71 ft to $1.71- Later tho corn market was re sponsive to wheat strength. Corn closed unsoltled, 2 to 314 net higher. May 84 to 84 U. Borne of tho top figures recahed In tho early dealings were surpass' d in the last hour hour of trad' Ing, the May delivery and July de livery reaching respectively $1.72 and $1.48 M. The bulge was due to fresh estimates unofficially put ting tne Argentina exportaino sur plus at 100,000,000 busheic, an amount 40,000,000 Icsh than lite hit est forecast from the Argentine government.

ARE CLEANED UP Portland, Dec. 23. (A. P.) The local turkey market did a "right .. nhuut . fnr.A"..-. t his ...mnrnlnn nnil caught many lato buyers unawares. Yesterday tho market had all ap pearances of slipping and natural ly buyers held off. Wholesalers had to shade prices nnd In some In stances birds In quantity lots were lumped off at 42 to 43 cents and the commission men attempted to keep their supplies moving. Then late In the afternoon re ceipts stopped coming In. Almost at the same timo the demand com menced to pick up and select tur keys were soon at a premium. Another factor that bulled the local market wan heavy shipments of dressed stock to the San Krnn- cisco market for the new yenrs trade. Shipments were being load ed at the Admiral line dock most of tho night and It Is understood that the Admiral Evans will have more than 50,000 poudns of tur keys abroad when she sails today. Fancy birds were bringing 46 to 40 cents along Front street at noon and were sunrce. Even No. 2 stocks nro cleaning up and it Is doubtful if anything will bo left by the close of day. Other lines of poultry are also cleaning up. Young, d reused dueks were scarce and in demand at 3T to 38 cents; geese brought 28 to 30 cents and chickens 28 to 30 cents. The lorol egg market Is showing t steady tone. Firsts and mediums are up a cent on the dairy ex change with other grades holding steady and unchanged. All grades of buttcf are steady and unchanged In the local mar ket. Country dressed calves are scorce and firm. Top veal la bringing 16 lot.lG',4 cents today. Country re ceipts light. There nro a few hogs coming In but the demand Is lim ited nnd prices are easy at 16 ft to 10 cents.

This was planned and served by tne post matrons and past patrons of the Chanter under the direction of Mrs. Moore, a committee from tne Masonic lodge assisting. a special law whereby it received the federal aid. Tho rural post roads act is quot ed as providing ''That all roads constructed under the provisions of this act shall be tree from tolls of all kinds." The federal high ways act is quoted to the same ef fect. Under these various acta it Is alleged that the federal govern ment has paid many millions of dollars to tho state of Oregon, and that tho money has been used for the construction and recon struction of many thousands of miles of primary or interstate highways and secondary or lnter county highways. Practically every public highway In the state is involved, it is averred. The complaint then cites the Oregon law requiring automobile owners to pay license fees. These are termed illegal exactions "for the sole purpose of obtaining com pensation for the use of highways in the state of Oregon by motor vehicles.'' Such exactions are al leged to be tolls. The complaint will be filed in the federal court In Portland to day. The case will be important in many states.

In the first .professional wrestling match staged hero in recent yenrs. The first fall came Just before tho first rest period gong was sounded. Iteed came In to action with a dash and after escaping several toe holds broke through Carver's defense and pin ned to the mat with a reversed full Nelson which paralyzed the Astor ia wrestler. The second fall came at the end of 52 minutes or 22 mln utes nnd 21 seconds after the rest period. Tho Astoria wrestler won many admirers although he lost the match. The crowd showed keen delight In tho punishing Jul-Jitsn holds administered by Carver. By hls-nblllty to reach for too holds, Carver caused a bit of uneasiness In the Heed corner but each time the holder of the western welter weight title broke nwoy usually by throwing Carver against tho ropes. At the end of forty minutes of wrestling the fans were brought to their feet when Carver secured e wrist lock combined with his Jul Jltsu punishment on Reed's nock Heed was dazed and not far from unconsciousness but countered with a head lock and managed to break avvny. At (he end of the 22 minutes and 21 seconds Reed sent tho Astoria wrestler to the mat whon he got a half body scissors nnd an arm lock. He has forced Cnrver Into a painful straight arm twlt just prior to this, the As toria wrestler being barely able to get out from the punishing hold. The match was marked by clean and sportsmanlike methods. Carver former holder of a welterweight title In Canada, still shows the ef fect of injuries received In a mat struggle th:it kept him out of the gnme for a yeor. In the preliminary Tiny Simmons 142 pound wrrstler, conch of the Philomath Athletic club took two falls from Chuck Taylor of Alsea. Both wrestlers displayed plenty of speed. The first fnM rnme at the end of 6 minutes and fifty seconds by a long arm scissors. The second fall rnme with the same hold.

STATE RIGHT TO TAX STAGE LINES TAKEN TO COURT Contending that the state can not legally, bccnuso of inhibitions of the federal constitution, collect license fees for the operation of motor vehicles on tho highways of Oregon, several truck and trans portation lines of the state have brought suit in tho federal court in Portland to enjoin Secretary of State Kozer from collecting the fees.
