Hall, announced today that, "Vouchers for a total of $152,000 due to contractors for work done on state highways had been issued, and the state Is waiting for the money so that these claims can be paid.” "I don't understand why in the world the federal officers have not approved these claims long ago and forwarded the money to pay them,” he continued. Mr. Hall said some of the vouchers now in the hands of federal officials were Sent In .as long ago as April, May and June. The finance secretary’s statement was made in answer to reports from •Washington that the federal govern ment has $362,000 on hand for use In Nebraska, against which no vouch ers had been drawn. Secretary Hall said that payment is being made for work done during 1323 and that these obligations are accruing on top of the $463,000 deficiency already piled up. “Only a small amount, at best, out of the federal government funds ap propriated for Nebraska could be used -to clean up these old claims” Mr. Hall said. "It takes nearly all we can get from Washington to pay road bills incurred during the pres ent biennium.” Hunter Found Shot to Death Falls City Man Killed by Own Gun—Body in Creek.

The awlngs throughout were narrow. Generally, the wheat pit was marking time. With the Chrintmaa holidays at hand snd news development without special interest, there was little incentive to trade. Wheat closed H to Ho lower, corn % to %c lower and oats unchanged to 'Ac lower, while rye was % to lower. Covering by shorts on the dips and supporting orders around $1.06# for the May came eastern houses and develop ing a rising tendency In the pit at times, but tlie persistent weakness in corn was an offsetting factor. Fairly large deliveries of wheat and corn proved an early basis for selling pressure and the demand was not lasting enough to over come this factor. The movement of corn to primary mar kets was increased and effected a weak ening influence in the local spot mar This attracted further liquidation of December contracts and encouraged speculative pressure in the later months. Prices dragged all day and the close was near the bottom levels. Oats closed within a narrow range. » rices were steady to firm most of the day but lost ground near the close. Com* mission houses had resting orders to buy May at 44 and this demand stayed speculative selling. dropped with other grains. Thla pit displayed little action. Scattered sell Ing which was credited to the northwest filled all buyers up. Lard dosed 10 to 12^0 higher and riba unchanged to 2*4o tower „ , Pit Notes. „ i i ^ec- . 24.—Complete changes which make up the visible supply report were not forthcoming in the short session today. However a fairly good estimate £or. tP,? 4week wa" obtainable from the Tact that stock of wheat showed an in crease of 266.000 bushels with lakes, Chi cago and Toledo still to come. This com pared with a to^al decrease of 628.000 bushels last year. There has been too much wheat raised* (he world over this year for us to keep our price, above a world’s parity. This seems to be the answer to the question as to whether or not .we can continue to hold our grain above all the others and expect to sell It eventually while the dif ference exists. Unexpected developments In grain mar* keis are always Indirectly looked for !n the trr.de. Something may happen to en courage buyers of wheat to retain their lines through the r*st of the season. At present, such developments are not even to be guessed at. The official exports for November were Placed at 12,425.000 bushels wheat flour. Some grain men say this represents a great deal of Canadian wheat or flour, and say that when the amount we im ported Into this country for domestic pur poses is taken Into account, it looks as though we have Imported more than we have exported.
