Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-Wheat-A changed
foreign outlook due to smaller Russian
offerings and continued dry weather
In India brought a closing cable Rc
higher and a good rally followed in
u market. The advance encountered
opposition both from longs profit
taking and shorts putting out further
sales, but the close showed prices
practically unchanged from last night.
While the market may hold close to
present levels or ever experience small
declines, we believe wheat is sufficient
ly low in price that it has become an
attractive purchase on it's merits.
Corn recorded an initial upturn on
further short covering and prices firm
ed about nc. On the advance there
was commission house selling followed
by the local professionals and a quick
setback, to SIC occurred. At this point
locals bought freely and went long and
when influential selling became evil
dent and prices started on the down
grade locals dumped causing a further
decline. On any further declines buy
ing of a general character will become
more pronounced as the country be-
lieves in higher prices for corn.
Oats held within narrow range and
followed corn, closing practically I'M
changed for the day. Commission
houses are arrayed on the buying side
on all declines, but on the advances
appear to be profit-taking for custom
ers. The market will closely follow
the action of corn.

The Loan Shark Decision.

AS far as the District Court of Appeals
decision holds. without reference to the
possibility of an overturn by the United
States Supreme Court on appeal on
constitutional grounds, the loan shark law
lately enacted by Congress for the pro-
lection Of the District from usurers and
extortioners Is valid and enforceable. and
Ii Is to be expected that proceedings VIII
be promptly instituted to put 1t into
effect The decision rendered yesterday
is so definitely in the public interest that
it Is to be hailed as one of the most i'm
portant rulings of recent years. An over
turn of the law would throw the District
back seriously and make it necessary 10
return to Congress for an enactment safe-
guarded against the objections raised
against the present statute. This law
required several years in passage, SO
strong was the opposition against u oy
the interests directly affected. 1t would
be disheartening to have to return to Con-
gress for a repetition of this Wearisome
and difficult process of lawmaking against
the loan sharks. on the alert as they are
In the halls of legislation to protect their
own selfish interests.
Pending the action of the Court of APP
peals the institution of cases against
loan sharks in the District has virtually
been suspended and now 1t IS promised
that they will be pressed vigorously. For
tunately, one of the civil Commissioners
has personally participated in the Work
of securing this law and is thoroughly
in sympathy with its purposes. Mr.. Sid
dons has made a direct close study of the
question and knows the grievous evils
that the law is designed to cure. 1t may
be assumed that there will be no lack OF
earnestness I'm the enforcement OF the
statute to the utmost limit OF the courts
acquiescence and support. If in the prae-
teal application of the law evasions and
subterfuges are found possible by the
usurers to nullify 1t In any degree addi-
tional legislation must be asked. but with
the basic law affirmed by the courts the
amendments will not be necessarily diffi-
cult Of enactment.
