East Alton Wheat Hammered Down by Strength Of Competition Corn Is Higher as Export Demand Is Stronger CHICAGO, Jan. 3, of Argentine competition did much to pull wheat values here down. Buying to close spread trades between Chicago and Winnipeg failed to have more than a transient effect an a counterbalance, and so too did reports of lack of snow protection In some parts of domestic winter wheat territory. On the other hand, corn prices averaged higher, helped by Indications of good export demand for corn at the seaboard. Wheat closed unsettled, to Ic net lower, corn at Vic to Vic advance, oats unchanged to Vic up, and provisions varying from 20o setback to a rise of 5c.

Influenced by Liverpool quotations lower than due and by reports of Argentine wheat being pressed for sale abroad, wheat prices here averaged lower nearly today. Absence of snow covering for domestic winter wheat in parts of the west acted, however, as something of an offset. Opening unchanged to lower, Chicago wheat afterward showed a slight general sag. Corn and oats were relatively firm, with corn starting off to Vic up. Provisions Inclined downward.

Increased Argentine wheat offer- Ings to Europe at cheaper prices tended to put wheat bulls at a disadvantage here much of the time today. Shipments of wheat from Argentina last week were announced as larger than for either the previous week or a year ago. Besides, the Liverpool wheat market today Instead of showing an expected advance underwent a setback, closing In some cases penny net lower. Comparison of wheat prices today were reported here as showing that Argentina Is selling wheat to Europe 9c a bushel cheaper than Canada The Canadian grade compared with was NoVi 4 northern, and the Argentine wheat referred to was asserted to be of equal quality. Meanwhile overnight export demand for wheat from North America was described today as limited.

4, 81 Deny Ellison Request for School Audit (Continued from Page 1) that the board would not permit examination of its books unless compelled to do so by legal process. Previous Examination Treasurer Yungck took the same stand because, he said, his books had been examined last summer by accountants representing Ellison. All Information asked In the 22 questions had been available when the books were examined so he thought further examination unnecessary and said he would permit it only when ordered by a court to do so. Meyer, in -explaining his attitude, traced the history of negotiations with the Modern Systems Construction and Its bonding company, pointing out that the board had made concessions which wouold have cost the district more than $10,000 just to clear up the matter and bring about a settlement on the new high school without litigation. The board also, he sold, assumed liability for one-half of whatever costs might arise thereafter, but that the contractors, after indicating they would, sign, refused to do so.

It was his stand, backed by Corbett, that the board had done all In Its power and had gone more'than half way and could be expected to do no more. Ellison's Letter Ellison's letter, dated Dec. 27, follows: "On Monday, Dec. 24, I requested through you permission of the Board of Education for the above district to examine certain of their records. "At that tune in conversation with you it was suggested that perhaps the Board of Education would prefer, in lieu of my examining their records to voluntarily give me certain Information; this upon the theory that less of my time and less time of representatives of the board would be consumed in my! securing the information desired by asking and receiving answers to certain questions, than would be consumed by my examination of their records.

"The information which I desire ia as follows: No. 3 white, No. 4, 3 white, No. 4. 46V4.

The measure has been endorsed by Secretary Jardine.

Testimony Heard In Sand Writ Suit Judge Hlllskotter of Edwardsvllle, master In chancery of Circuit Court, spent the forenoon today in Alton taking testimony In the injunction suit of the state's attorney on relation of the Mississippi Lime and Material Co against the East End Supply Co.

In this suit a temporary restraining order was granted which halted the city from completing a lease to the East End Supply for a riverfront tract in the East End where the sup ply firm proposed to establish a sand business. The taking of testimony, It was said, was preliminary to court action on whether the injunction should be made permanent. Recently the City Council agreed to Intervene ih the suit to show it favored the leasing proposel, but stipulated that intervention should be without cost to the city. City Counsellor Ellison now is awaiting further instructions by the Council, having reported at the last meeting that some costs to the city might accrue, because no matter which side wins the Circuit Court tilt, it appears certain the case will go to Supreme Court for a final disposition. 100 Dresses For Only $1.007 No-No Nahnette In last night's Telegraph In the advertisement of the Rose Department store, appeared a dress item which read "1100 Dresses for $1.00" That $100 was an error In typesetting, but the $1.00 was all right, the dresses are for sale for the advertisement should have that.

"We are not taking any chances," Curtis continued. "The nurses are watching things closely and pupils with colds are sent home. Tho situation has not been bad in. the schools, not anything like that in other cities and we are doing everything possible to keep down the chances of an epidemic." Absences High Absences Wednesday, the first day after the Christmas vacation, were from 15 to 20 percent, the largest of the year by far.
