WHEAT RULES
. SOME HIGHER
Chicago. Feb. 4 Wheat ruled
a little higher most of the time to
day, influenced somewhat by re
ports of generally unfavorable Con
ditions for winter crops in foreign
countries. i
Serious complaints regarding
crops were received especially from
France where rains have been per
sistent. Some fears were express-id
that considerable Illinois wheat had!
been damaged by sudden cold after
thaws.
Wheat closed firm, Vs off to uni
compared with yesterday's finish, !
May 992-, corn unchanged to !
higher, May BO'-fs, oats exactiy
tmchanged, and provisions varying
from 2 cents decline to an equal
gain.
Chicago, Feb. 4 (LP Grain mar
kets remained about steady, with
exception of another good advance
in rye, today In lieht trading.
At the close wheat was unchang
ed to ll cent higher, corn was un
changed to cent higher, oats were
unchanged and rye was -3 to :!i of
a cent higher.
The wheat market continued tug
ged between two factions. There
was fear over the Canadian situa
tion which brought some western
bearlshness, but eastern buying
picked up on all declines. There was
no follow through on either side.
The rye strength followed similar;
move in rye last week, and there
was buying of the cereal against
sales of wheat and corn.
BRITISH MOHAIR
MILLS HEALTHY
Healthy conditions prevail in
British mohair mills. Night shifts
are being employed after many
years of part-time operation. Lin.
tugs of mohair are a large item,
replacing artificial silk. British
yarn has gone to Prance in larger
quantities, says the Angora Jour
nal. Trade with the Balkans has
increased, notably, large orders go
ing to Czecho-Slovakia.
German yarn orders arc less, and
Russian buying In Turkey of some
thing like a million and a half
pounds of mohair naturally de
creased Bradford orders from the
Soviet states.
Bradford Is buying Cape mohair,
where stocks have greatly been re
duced.
November and December proved
to be good months in the Turkish
market. Nearly a million pounds
moved In November, although ar
rivals from the interior were not
adequate to replace stocks sold.
Kid mohair Is practically exhaust
ed. There Is some prospect of
Bradford buying at Istanboul but
the greatest demand comes from
Russia and Germany, although the
Soviet seems to have out-bid the
German buyers.

PLANTS READY
FOR HOG TRADE
Chicago, Feb. 4 (fP) Representa
tives of packing houses said the Chi
cago livestock market was In a
sound position today to welcome
greatly Increased shipments of hoes
expected within a few months fro.n
the corn belt states.
With United States hog popula
tion at the lowest level In years and
pork and lard reserves correspond
ingly low, the industry, these au
thorities said, was ripe for an ex
pansion in volume.
The current market is paying div
idends to the producer who has nu
merous and heavy swine, a condi
tion the experts said, that was likely
to prevail at least as long as hog
reserves remained below normal.
Hog prices were at the peak for!
this time of year since 1930 although
the current $10 a hundredweight
quotations were $2 less than they
were last September.
A sharp increase in 1936 hog pro
duction was expected in the corn
country. The 1935 fall pig crop was
31 per cent larger than the 1034
crop and a 24 per cent increase in
the number of sows to farrow this
spring has been predicted by the bu
reau of agricultural economics. This
upturn would have occurred regard
less of the supreme court's AAA de
cision, they said.

Property damage is known to he
huge, although communications
were so disrupted that an immedi
ate check was impossible.
-The storm struck at noon, tying
up transportation in the cities, dis
rupting trunk railways, and para
lyzing industrial activity.
Both Tokyo and Kyoto were in
darkness tonight because of the
failure of power plants.
More than 100 steamers were
compelled to take refuge in the
ports of Kobe, Osaka. Mo.il, and Shi
monesekl. Many smaller vessels
went unreported.

districts told of snowslidcs which
crushed houses.

by the gale, partly inundated hun
dreds of homes in the low-lying dis
tricts of Osaka.

ries an increase in the Swiss Import

bill specifically exempted a provi
sion authorizing, the secretary of
agriculture to use a $500,000 fund to
"develop new and extended uses of
cotton."
Earlier the senate agrlcultuia
committee decided to defer floor
consideration of the Bankhead soil
conservation-subsidy bill until the
committee studies changes made in
a similar measure by the house ag
riculture committee.
The senate committee ako ap
proved the George bill authorizing
a sliding scale apprporiatlon for
vocational education in the state!
and territories until 1041 when the
annual appropriation for this pur
pose would be $6,000,000. The funds
ior the first year would be $12,000.
000. This would be cut annually by
$500,000 until 1041.
It had been planned to begin
floor debate today on the Bankhead
combination temporary-permanent
AAA replacement bill, but Smith
said the committee wanted a
"chance to study" the changes made
by the house agriculture committee
in a similar bill introduced by Jones.
Principal revisions made by the
house committee, as compared with
the senate text, were:
Broadening of the objections to
include expansion of foreign and
domestic markets and disposition of
surpluses.
Transfer from the two-year tem
porary subsidy section to the perm
anent state-aid provisions of policy
alms -directed at maintenance of a
stable flow of farm commodities at
prices fair to both producers and
consumers, and re-establishment
and maintenance of farm purchas
ing power.
Authorization for expenditures to
eradicate tuberculosis among dairy
cattle.
Authority to use state and local
committees in administering both
the temporary and permanent plans.
Under the vocational education bill
of Senator George ID.. Ga.), states
would not be required to match
more than 50 percent of the federal
allotments prior to July 1, 1940, and
not more than 75 percent in each
subsequent year."
One-third of the sums appropriat
ed would be allotted each year to
states In proportion that their farm
population bears to ;ht total farm
population of the United States.
Another third of the money under
the George bill would be allotted on
the basis of state rural population
and the last third un the basis ot
their non-farm population.
The 1935 seed and feed loan bill
was sent to conference by the sen
ate to adjust differences with the
house. The senate bill would auth
orize a $60,000,000 appropriation;
the house cut the figure to $40,
900.000. (Loans are made up to $1000
in return for first liens on the crop).
