Wheat Market Gains Then Slips Amid Export News
Wheat opened higher on export demand and stronger milling activity, with 3,500,000 bushels bought for Pacific coast export as a chief factor. Later estimates of a larger exportable surplus cooled gains. March and May prices eased, while oats and corn followed mixed moves.

Speculation in Grain Futures Debate Moves Market View
Leslie F Gates, former president of the Chicago Board of Trade, told the House Agricultural Committee that the Copper Tinher grain futures bill would paralyze current marketing and lack an adequate substitute. He argued futures stabilize prices, facilitate distribution, and prevent monopoly, warning that removing the market would harm producers and drive small firms out as a few big concerns gain price influence. He urged constructive reform that strengthens, not destroys, the system.

New Trial Motion in Goodfellow Will Contest Filed
Attorneys for the Goodfellow children filed a motion for a new trial in the case contesting John Goodfellow's will. They claim juror instructions harmed the defense and that newly discovered witnesses could prove the testator was not of sound mind when the will was signed. Witnesses would testify to Goodfellow's health and behavior during the spring of 1919. The case drew attention after last fall's proceedings, with the will leaving only income to his children. Also notes obituaries for Viola Cobra Rohle and Virginia Bandfield with services scheduled in Waterloo and Fairview cemetery.
