IP.—Headlong spec ulntive buying hosed on reports of urld shortage of wheat and rye re rived a big Jolt today, but came hark strung with two new' allies— ".its and corn. Staggering from the effects of a lucent break in prices of Winnipeg, the wheat market here al , most touched $2.0(1 and then jumped up to $2.0-1'*, within a cent of the latest high price record. Oats and corn meanwhile made a surprise advance together, of 3c a bushel each. Purchasing of oals especially was on an immense scale. Inspired by re ports that available supplies of Cana -Man oats for Europe had been clean ed up. and that oats from the l ulled states would be in active demand for export. Heavy buying of corn also developed, recent speculative sellers of corn Vicing routed. Country offer ings of corn were reported as having been reduced to next to vero with a decided falling off in notices of con signments to the Chicago market. |■|•cpnred for llig llrnp.

With all amendments apparently disposed of. final action on the postal pay and rate Increase, bill went oxer the sen ate late today until tomorrow when an early vote on passage Is expected by leaders. As It stands, the bill carries a rider, a corrupt practices act limiting expenditures of candidates for the house to $2,500 and for the senate to $10,000 with detailed periodical re ports from every .political committee, and under certain renditions, from in dividual contributors. The rider was offered by Senator Walsh, democrat, Massachusetts and was approved by an overwhelming vote. Modifications in the rate increases were voted into the bill today but the rate section as a whole withstood two separate attacks which would have eliminated it entirely and left the bill in the same form as that passed at the last session and vetoed by Presi dent Coolldge, providing only for sal ary increases. effective Date Unchanged. On motion of Senator Oddie. repub lican.

In charge of the bill, obtained the approval of the senate for with drawal of proposed slight Increases In fourth class mail. An attempt by Senator Curtis, of Kansas, the republican leader, to make the salary Increases retroactive only to January 1 of tills year instead of July 1, 1921, as provided by the measure, was defeated by a close vote. Senator Curtis said a sum of $38,000,000 was involved, but oppo nents of the proposal insisted con gress would not lie keeping faith with postal employes if the effective date of the salary increases was changed. Speakers on both sides r.f the i hamber expressed the opinion that If tlie bill is finally passed it will he rejected by the house because of the rate increases which, they argued, violate the constitutional require ment thnt all rex enue raising legis lation originate in the house. tears ( oolidge Veto. In this connection, the house ways and means committee. which has control over such legislation, met today to consider Its stand on the question whether the senate had ex needed authority with respect to such legislation. A subcommittee was named to study the question. In Its present form, Senator Moses estimated the measure would raise $50,000,000 additional revenue and provide for an additional annual ex penditure of *08,000,000 for Increases In postal employes' salaries. Senator Harrison, democrat, Mis sissippi, naked how the president could l>e expected to sign this bill If he vetoed the pay Increase meas ure, because it would cause a deficit In postal revenue. Senator Moses said President f'oolldge, In his veto message, had declared a bill for pos tal salary Increases should provide also for the "approximate" amount of revenue necessary to meet the ad vances and he asserted that the pres ent bill came within that stipulation.

Price Control Suggested fly Prfsfk. New York, .Ian. Ik.—A' variety of opinions, some of them Involving far reaching possibilities, have been for warded lo the new oil conservation board at Washington in response to the board's quMtiounarle to leading figures in the oil industry. Some of the oil company officials have taken a positive stand ngalnsl further governmental regulation, while others have suggested that un less the government take definite cor reettve steps the country before very long Will face a serious oil shortage. Several large operators have taken occasion to call attention to' the pre ponderance of control exercised by he Standard group of companies over pipe lines and storage facilities and have suggested further inquiry into the possible effect on prices. Other operators, on the contrary, have pro tested vigorously against any sug gestlon of price control or monopoly. About Oil Reserves. In some tlf the r> plies it Is main tained that overproduction and waste in production processes are subvert Ing tlte national interest and making for inefficiency within the induatry. Exactly the opposite view is taken by others of the oil men consulted by the board. In some instances it has been urged that the government discontinue the sale or leasing of government oil re serves on the ground that it might be cheaper in the long run for federal government departments to purchase their oil than to be a party to waste and overproduction and a contributor to the depletion of the reserves. One operator suggested that the government might Inaugurate some measure which would prevent pipe tine companlea extending conttec tlons to field* where overproduction is evident. Theories Diverge. A divergence of opinion among In dependent companies as to the posi tion of the Standard group In the oil Industry has been developed by the questionnaire. In Rt least one case an Independent has intimated to the board that In hi* opinion the Stan (lard companies were behind the move which led to the board’s crea tion and hoi>ed by that means to se cure such regulation as would cut down production to a point where price manipulation would be easier. Other independents warmly defended the Standard companies declaring that those independent concerns who are willing to play the game fairly with Standard officials fare very well In the long run. One sugestion given the board was that It might well take steps to kn duce all oil producing slates to en force rigidly their conservation laws or enact new ones. The conservation law's of Oklahoma were cited by one producer who pointed out that some 'ears ago e cycle of over production and waste In that state was stopped by invoking a law closing many wells for a year. Over production Krnitsn. Still other steps advocated on some of the replies to (lie board Include the curbing of slock promotion and speculation; federal regulation of drilling: a limited application of n policy of rate fixing In supervision of pipe lines; a law requiring oil com panies to dispose of oil within a rea sonable time after it la put Into storage as as to prevent evaporation, waste and over production; a require ment that oil must he marketed at a price representing Its gravity and tak (nr Into account naphtha evaporation during storage. Many of these latter suggestions were designed to remedy a supposed present condition of over production, the companies In question declaring that hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil have been stored for so long that the value has greatly deteriorat ed, London Strike Still (lontiiuie* l nbroken H> AsWM-lsteil I" free J.orulon Jan. 1").

Chicago. .Ian. 29.—Two women — at oppose ends of the purse strings, as far as money goes—are among the fortunate speculators of the wheat pit, where for six months past golden grains hsve been pyra miding Into golden dollars. One of the women Is a million aire. The other is a business woman, the proprietor of a letter service. Both held firmly to their faith in Slay wheat -one with a million to plunge, the other with tflf.O. Such Is the romance of jester day’s peak market In May wheat as i< was told among the brokers, who amusedly view the advent of women in the Held that has been either an "Eveless" paradise, or Inferno—according to the market. W ife of Millionaire. Mrs. Scott Purand. wife of a mil lionaire farmer, a society woman and a speculator on the board of trade, admitted today that she had made a "killing In wheat." The amount? It runs into etx figures, those who know, declare. The other woman is Miss Ethel Comstock, who. last August, with drew $t5d from the hank and en trusted it. to a broker with orders to buy May wheat on margin. Day by day as the price advanced, cent by rent. Miss Comstocks winning* grew and were turned back Into margins, until, It was said, she un loaded her holdings at yesterday's peak of $2.05 7 8. Her profits amounted to over *20.000. And yet strangely enough, neither of these women would encourage women to follow their example. "Women Should Stay Oat.” “I don't advise women to gel Into the market," said Mrs. Scott Du rand. "Clerks and si enographers and others with a few hundred dol lars or even a few thousand should stay out of the grain market. They would not know what they are do ing. "I began trading In grain futures In the fall of 1D20 Remember, 1 am a farmer, and think that the farmer should buy grain futures because he knows what he ia about." Miss Comstock, on the other hand, did not permit her flyer In wheat to'absorb Iter other business interests. "The only loss I took was about $7t>0, but I made that up again sev eral times over." she said.

Washington, Jan. 29—Secretary Hughes will appear Monday before the senate foreign relations commit tee to answer questions concerning the Herman commercial treatj' sent to the senate some time ago for rati fication. Considerable opposition has devel oped in tlie senate regarding provi sions of the convention which pro vide agunst establishment of dis criminatory rates by American or Herman merchant vessels in fsvor of the nationals of either country. The secretary is expected to argue for ratification of the treaty which would replace the commercial agree tnent that expired early this month an I to lay stiess on the fact that the favored nation clauses are recipro cal. It has been desrrll>ed as a model for similar conventions with other nations, but these have been held up pending action on It by the senate. Some senators have contended that American merchant marine vessels should not tie prohibited from giving preferential rates to American ship per*. It Is believed, however, that if a way can be found to Iron out objections of these senators and at the same time assure CSermany against discrimination by American ships the state department will not object to modification of language employed In those sections of the treaty having to do with favored na tion treatment.
