gill PUCES OPEN HIGHER Wheat Features in Morning Advance. Bu L'tiited. Press CHICAGO, March 26.—Grain prices opened higher on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Wheat was the feature of the advances with grains ranging from lHc to 2%c. Wheat opened above Thursday’s final figures in all deliveries. The boom was not unexpected, in view of the decidedly stronger undertone of foreign markets at the opening today. This morning’s advances substantiated the predictions of many local traders that a marked upturn was due in this grain. Although the tone of the local pit is decidedly better than it has been for some time, sentiment is prevalent among many local operators that the present rally will be temporary. Corn opened fractionally higher in all deliveries. The small receipts in this grain are offset to some extent by the usually indifferent prices. Oats opened fractionally higher all along the line. This grain lacks strength enough to get out In front on its own. Provisions opened higher. Chicago Grain Table —March 26 WHEAT— Prev. High. Low. Close. close.

IMgs followed the trend of the matured grades and were 25c lower. The local market has been out of line with competitive markets for several days and this slump is a corrective measure only. Lower markets in other cities today contributed to the decline here, traders say. Receipts were estimated at 5,500 and 242 holdovers from the Thursday session were added to the total fresh receipts. The top price of $13.35 was placed on light weight porkers and the bulk of the matured hogs were sold at prices ranging from $11.60 to $13.10. Hog Price Scale Trading was done over the following range of values: Heavyweight material brought sll.lo® 12.10; mediums were [email protected]; lights sold at $12.85 @13.35; light lights cashed at $13.60; pigs also commanded a price of $12.76® 13.50; smooth packing sows averaged [email protected]: rough packing sows were [email protected], and stags were sß® 10.60. Further recessions occurred in the cattle market and heavy steers were slightly lower showing a loss of about 25 cents. Heifers were steady on all grades although demand was not ns urgent as the first part of the week. Cows continued steady. Receipts were estimated at 800 head of cattle. Spring Lambs Arrive Ten head of choice spring lambs, averaging 62 pounds, were seen in the pens for the first time this season. A top price of $22 a hundredweight was paid for this stock. Other grades of native lambs were steady and were priced from sl2 to sl3. Western stock was quoted at [email protected]. Sheep were steady at s4@B. A small run was estimated at only 100 bovines, but trading was active with the little stock offered. Calves slumped 50 cents from Thursday's top price of sls.

FOWEH FIRMS MERGING TOO FAST FOR U. S. Federal Trade Commission’s Inquiry Is Being Hampered. Times Washington Bureau. nits Xew i ork Avenue WASHINGTON, March 26.—The Federal Trade Commission’s power trust inquiry is being hampered by the rapid merging of the very interests that are being investigated. This probably will delay and report by the commission to Congress until late in the year. Thus, despite the fuct that the Senate ordered the inquiry to secure more light in the Muscle Shoals controversy, the results may not be forthcoming until after Congress has disposed of the question. The probe was directed at the General Electric Company, which Senator Norris of Nebraska alleged was dominating the national power field through the Electric Bond and Share Company. He pointed out that the Alabama Power Company, one of the strongest bidders for Muscle Shoals, was connected with the combine. At the time the inquiry was started in February, 1926, the Electric Bond and Share Company, organized by the General Electric Company, supervised 1,700 operating companies in forty States. The company is now planning to link power transmission systems from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico in one super-organization, according to announcement of Sidney 55. Mitchell, president. At least twentyfive power corporations will he in volved. Mitchell predicts that with in a year or so the tie-up will cover practically the entire Nation. The question facing the Federal j Trade Commission is whether this physical consolidation reflects a gigantic financial merger. In the South, at ler.vt, tho Southeastern | Dower Company, controlled by the i Electric Bond and Share Company, has just finished buying out the 1 Georgia Railway and Eight Company, adding it to the Alabama Power Company, and distribution , lines in Florida and Mississippi al- [ ready owned. ! The numerous companies supervised by the Electric Bond and Share j Company have in the past always | operated independently. The physical merger plan ts an entirely new development.
