New May wheat closed a 1 # cents up as the result of frantic short covering and expectation of stop-loss orders. It is evident that many traders are shorter than was estimated for tlie guarantee of train loads of grain from Omaha and Kan sas City to be on the tracks here by Friday had no effect on the soaring price level. The defrred deliveries of wheat also closed sharply higher under the influence of the May position. The fact that more moisture is still needed in tho Northwest, despite last night's rains also lent strength to these futures. Gash grain closed from 2 to 4 cents up, and is'expected to show further increases in the three trading days still left in the month. Liquidation and extensive selling hy locals caused weakness in the corn pit and that grain closed fractionally lower in all deliveries. The favorable crop reports also influenced the prices. Oats closed practically unchanged after another dull day. Provisions closed higher on the strength of wheat. Chicago Grain Table —May 76 wheat- prey ... *7" '■ big 1 '.

GOVERNOR BALKS ON CLEAN-OP (Continued From Page 1) highway hoard has heen unjustly treated and believe that there is a well formulated plan to turn its control over to interests which- are not compatible with the public interest. They insist that the success of their party depends upon a thorough investigation and suggested to the Governor that a commission be named. Their letter at that time contained this suggestion: "It is important that the people generally should have full confidence | in the ability and integrity of those I who are officially charged with the management of all departments of tho state, and particularly those which are charged with tlie responsibility of expending large I sums of money, and on acount of [the various charges and countercharges, which ha\'o been publicly mad# in reference to the conduct of those in charge of state departments above referred to, wo, deem it of the importance that a thorough and com plete investigation should lie made in order that tlie real situation may he ascertained and confidence every3\Tiere retsored in she administration of public affairs, and for that purpose, tve would suggest that a com[mission he appointed to make a thorough and complete investigation of the various matters herein referre to.

These suggestions are made purely for the purpose of clearing Up a situation which has been the source of great concern to a large proportion of the people at tills time and for tho purpose of making the same complete and successful in every particular. "We respectfully tender our cooperation and support in tlie matter, assuring you that tlie only purpose in min i is to find the true facts in order that the real situation may he discovered.” At editors' meeting this morning, the answer of the Governor was received. All is harmony now-, said the Governor. There is no need of an inquiry. Conditions have nil changed. Tlie Governor is in close touch with both bodies. Tlie Governor can see no use of selecting any committee such as the editors requested. Tlie editors, it is said, are not satisfied with the answer. They are making ttielr record in the matter clear. For that purpose they made public the correspondence and placed the responsibility for inaction, or lack of public confidence which may follow, on other shoulders.
