Yesterday operators were splitting hairs on prices. It was reported that one sale occurred on a concession of 1-64 of a cent from prevailing prices. The quick shipment of raws due to the anxiety of producers to move their sugar has not been especially pleasing to refiners who are in no hurry Row to add to their stocks. Much of the uslness in the futures market the last day or so has represented switching from early to late months. A further decline in the spot market is generally looked for and continued unseulement In refined ,sugar and In futures may be expected. r Wholesale Meat Prices Bee—Native steers. 600 to 800 lbs.. 18 0 20c: fores under carcass 2c: hinds, over carcass. 4c- native huifers, 300 to 400 lbs. 17 0 20c: fores under carcass. 7c - hinds over carcass. 3c: native cows. 400 to 700 ibs. 12%013%c: fores under carcass. 2c: hinds over carcass. 3o Pork —Dressed hogs. 140 to 200 lbs 20 fit 20%c: regular picnic hamß„ 4 to 14 lbs. 17%019%e: fresh tenderloins. 48.

Bu United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 17.—Foreign influences, decidedly bearinsh, sent wheat tumbling into lower territory on the movement in opening trade on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Selling in wheat was attended by more than the usual excitement as disappointed traders dumped heavy offers into the pit. Prices continued to sag after the first ten minutes. Steadiness at the cash counter resulted in unloading of extensive long lines of co^n. The opening in oats was lower, in sympathy with other grains. Selling by tired holders weakened provisions.

AMUNDSEN WILL MAKE ONE MORE TRIP TO POLE If He Succeeds, He Says He Will Wed Sweetheart of Childhood. Bu KEA Service / LOS ANGELES, Feb. I*.—One more trip to the Arctic and —If lt is successful—Roald Amundsen, famous Norwegian explorer will marry and settle down to a quiet home life in his native land. If you would know why, go back about forty yoars and take a peek into a little school room of Oslo — then known as Christiana—Norway. Taking his sweetheart by the hand Roald, a 14-year-old youngster, led her to a far corner of ]the room where stood a globe of the world. “Some day I am going to discover the north and south poles. Then I am coming back and marry you,” he said. And, with school girl faith, his sweetheart promised to wait. , Having passed the halfway mark of the long road to his goal by discovering the south pole In 1911, Amundsen Is about to realize the rest of his school-boy dream. He will take off from King’s Bay In a huge dirigible May 1, bound for the Arctic. • He Is confident that on this trip he will discover the north pole. Then he will return to marry the sweetheart of forty years ago whose name he refuses to reveal—but who, he admits. Is still waiting. “And then the polar regions will be forgotten,” says the man who has spent the best years of his life among the icebergs of the Arctic, and Antarctic oceans. x “We will buy a small home somewhere on the outskirts of Oslo and live there quietly. “But of course, that’s only on condition I find the north pole. I will never quit until lt has been discovered, and these trips Into unknown regions are not for married men.” Amundsen started his long career of Ice-bound Journeys In 1897 when he sailed with the Belgian Antarctic expedition. It failed to discover the south pole and the expedition, returned home two years later. “For several years after that I made trips to the Arctic and secured my master’s certificate,” says Amundsen. “Then, In 1911, we sailed for the south pole again. It was on this trip—my second one there—that we discovered the pole. "According to our present plans, we will cover 2,106 miles on our trip this spring. Our dirigible, the Norde, is about one-third the size of the Shenandoah. I don’t think there is any doubt that we will discover the pole on this trip. “Then we will continue flying straight over to Alaska, searching for a continent believed to lie between the pole and North America.” (Copyright, 1926, NEA Service, Inc.) ASK SHORTRIDGE LOCATION COSTS (Continued From Page 1) and Meridian Sts., bought for the school. They will oppose any .action of the board to buy the Fortieth St. site and possibly the sale of the Thirty-Fourth St. tract for more than the board paid them for it, through condemnation action. The board plans to obtain about SIIO,OOO by the sale of the ThirtyFourth St. site and to use this in buying a larger tract. Plans for the school will be ent’rely revised If a new locqUon is pu-chased. Jacob H. Hilkene, superintendent of buildings and grounds, said he believed the site on Forty-Sixth St. is valued at about $120,000. If the board is unable to obtain either of the two sites ordered appraised, it will probably build on the land now owned on Thirty-fourth St., Hilkene said he believed. Needed in 1929 The building must be ready for occupancy at the opening of the spring term of 1929. Yoke said that if outside parties interfered with the board's moves "thousands of high school children will be walking the streets.” The present site of the school at Michigan and Pennsylvania Sts. was sold some time ago to the State Life Insurance Company. This firm will erect a modem office building on the site beginning Jan. 1, 1929. At a meeting of the Shortrldge Parent-Teachers’ Association on Tuesday night Emslej W. Johnson, who presided, said the new building should be ready by September, 1927. “The association does not care where the building is located as long as the structure is started and completed soon,” he said.
