Landis Attacks Anti-Bonus Drive Speaks Scornfully of Means Employed in Effort to Defeat Measure. Br Aa«orlat«l Pr»»». Chicago, Jan. 17.—Those who favor ♦ he Mellon plan of tax reduction by that very fact oppose the soldiers' bonus, former Federal Judge K. M. l.andis declared In an address before the Traffic club. "While It may be unethical,” for mer Judge l.andis said, “to say some thing which you do not want to hear— and I understand you all are In favor of the Mellon plan for a reduction of taxes—I feel this bonus question Is such a great moral Issue that I feel duty bound to assert my stand on the subject regardless of whom my audience may be.'*' lie also criticised the manner In which the soldiers’ $S0 wages were cut Into during the war by various allotments, insurance and drives. "in the Red Cross and I.lberty loan drives in the army camps,” he de clared, “we were guilty of creating such a situation that soldiers were hardly at liberty to refuse to strb acrlbe. "There are loud cries of ‘he will only squander it if this bonus Is paid.’ Since when does it become the debtor to repudiate his obligations because tiie creditor might spend It?” Former Judge J.andia displayed a poster which he said he had torn fr om a railroad bulletin board urging railway employes to write their con gressmen asking them to favor the Mellon tax plan. "Can you Imagine brakemen, switchmen and women car cleaners couching letters to senators and con gressmen In such adroit business terms as this bulletin suggests?” he . Said. Muny Gas Sale Now Doubtful Hopkins Back Says Unable to Cet Future Contract at Refineries. City Commissioner John Ilopkins has returned from a. visit to the re fineries and oil fields of Oklahoma, with the Information that he Was un able to obtain any contract for gaso line at the current quotations. Hopkins said he went with a view of establishing municipal gasoline stations here, and he does not know whether he will succeed in this enter -prise. "I visited Tulsa and other cities and I am convinced that the Standard companies have the crude oil supply ' cornered. There seems to be a short age of crude oil, w.ith some of the fields Idle. "When I was in Oklahoma the price of gasoline at the refineries was 11% cVnts, which would be 14 cents on the track In Omaha. I was unable to get any contract at the 11%-cent price, the general reason being that gasoline will go still higher. It Is being re tailed now In Oklahoma at 10 cents a gallon. "X am negotiating with a refinery for a supply of gasoline, hut I don't know whether it will work out. Tf I can get a supply even at the prices quoted now I could sell It at 2 cents less than the oil atadon prices here In Omaha."

Wheat Situation—Message from Minne apolis nays: With Argentina and Canada raising a wheat crop of around 760,000. 000 bushels, the greater part of which must be sold for export, it is not sur prising that we are not exporting wheat of consequence. Message from Des Moines. Ia„ says: St. Louis bid last night highest on the crop arlf*. a "lb*1® car booked. Farmers still have practically all corn they had two months ago except what they have fed. Supplies are generally considered away under a year sgo. but this pro longed holding back by farmers is caus ing much uneasiness, as it suggests a larger surplus to come out later on. Deal ers are looking forward to a movement before March 1. Black sea exports: Danublan and Rustle wheat exports for the season since August 1 .totaled 29.115.000 bushels. „ ^:4^2.000 bushels last year and 2,4(2.000 bushels two years ago.

Minneapolis.—Northwestern Miller says: The laat week aaw a slight Improvement in the rate of flour mill operation, the soring wheat mills averaging 47 per cent of capacity. Domestic demand for flour Is almost everywhere reported quiet, with prices held firmly. Mills are not press ng sales and buyers are showing little inclination to make foreign purchases. Volume of flour buying for current needs Is on the whole satisfactory, with rather more being done than was the caae dur ing December. OMAHA. CARLOT SALES, x- „ , WHEAT.

LEUfKN. Chicago, Jan. 17.—A pause in aggrce atvc support developed in all gralna on tho early advance today and profit taking carried wheat and corn to lower levels finally. Wneat was affected by the In dependent weakness In Winnipeg and the sustained decline at Liverpool, while longs In corn decided that a reaction was due. Wheat closed *4®4fco lower, corn was lower, oats were UOHo lower and rye ruled He down. The feature of the trade In wheat was the buying here against sales at Winni peg, this believed to bo the closing out of a spread for a prominent local opera tor. There was little change In the newa. Volume of trade was considerably re duced In all pits. Indications that the Argentine wa* moving its new wheat crop mors freely also served to depress the leading cereal. All deliveriea of corn reached new high levels early, the May option getting above 80c, but profit taking aalee were general at this level and prices gave way. The trade remains bullish on this grain, hut la beginning to anticlp&ta reaction* from present levels. Country selling of <;orn does not enlarge to any extent. Caah Interests offered oats for sale on the hard spots and prices closed Ir regularly. Commission houses operated on both sides of the market. Rye trade remained stagnant. The swings were narrow and the close slight ly easier In sympathy with other grains. Provisions met with a better class of support and advanced well. Lard was higher and ribs were 106>15c higher. Pit Nolet. Pit observers claimed that the selling of wheat today In general was difficult to trace. Some maintained that it was largely of local character and undoubted ly in the way of profit taking. Others said that it was the same class of sell ing that has been In evidence for sev eral days, emanating from the east. Estimated clearances from the Argen tine were for 2.776.000 bushels wheat or 1,233,000 bushels more than last week's shipments. The delay In the movement of the southern hemisphere crop has di rectly strengthened the Liverpool mar ket since the turn of the year, stocks in the United Kingdom being low. The world's available supply of wheat for the week decreased 2,159.000 bushels. It now totals 209.703,000 bushels, com pared with 193,806,000 bushels last year. A local expert placed the world's export able surplua this year at 864.000.000 bush els. compared with the Broomhall esti mate of January 1 of 936.000.000 bushels. Temperatures over the winter wheat belt were lower, but little apprehension was expressed for the reason that ample snowfall Is forming a protection for most of the plant. A bill has been Introduced In the house of representatives, asking for a repeal of the tax on future trading. The tax was first levied as a war meas ure. and the trade falla to aee why It should continue. CHICAGO PKIIKM. By Updike drain Co.AT. 6212. Art. | Open | High | Low. 1 Clowe | Yes.

New York, Jan. 17.—Extensive read justment of speculative accounts impart ed an Irregular trend to today’s active stock market after «n early period of moderate strength. Attempts of opera tors on the long aide to take profits In some of the recent speculative indus trial favorites, under cover of the buoy ancy of the steel shares, led to a series of attacks by professional shorts, giving the afternoon market a spotty appear ance. Strength of United States Steel com mon. which touched 101%. the highest since last Miv. was counteracted bv the weakness of Studebaker. which broke I points to 101%. Steel closed a point be low the top, while Studehaker. which had been sold on unfavorable unofficial earnings reports for the last quarter, rallied to 102 on President Ersklne’s an nouncement that the hooks had not been balanced and that the reported figures were purely guess work. Baldwin and American Can. the other members of the so-called "big four’’ closed at net losses of 1% and 1% at 122% and 106%. respectively. after selling well above those figures. Pay-ment of the last back dividend on Republic Steel preferred, testifying to the Improved earnings position of the Industry, was responsible for the brisk demand for the steel shares. Republic common jumped 3% points to 55 and .£n •JL"*! te B4‘ while Bethlehem, c*ru Clble, Oulf states Steel and Sloss-Shef field recorded substantial gains, onlv to forfeit most of them In the last wave of selling. 1'. S. Cast Iron Pipe made a quick response to the declaration of a full years dividend of 7 per cent on the preferred stock, jumping 7 points to 76 end then eased to 75%. Action of the directors of the G. R. Kinney company today In clearing up accumulated divi dends of 3 per cent on the preferred stock apparently had been discounted as tne stock closed only % higher at 61. , P®n-American Oil share* had another sinking spell In reflection of the un favorable Mexican news, the common dropping 2% and the "W stock 1%. Other oil shares held relatively steady, the weekly report of tb« American Pe troleum institute showing a slight gain in crude production, which was more than offset, however, by the sharp drop In oil imports. A bullish demonstration in Davison Chemical sent that atock up more than 3 points, the closing price. 67%, b*lng spout half a point from the top. Spe cial strength 8Iso developed in Westlng houss Air Brake. General Electric. Fisher Body and Columbia Carbon. Lehigh Valley was one of the strong spots of the railroad group, considerable discussion taking place as to the value or rights under the completed segrega tion plan. Erie comon dropped more than a point on profit-taking. Southern Railway touched a record top at 43%. otS*r changes were mixed and narrow. horsfgn exchanges developed a reac tionary trend after the brisk rally of the last few days.
