The first play since the Auditorium
theater fire some months ago is sig
nificant as to title, Bought and Paid
For" 1t is a Broadhurst piece and
has at least one big scene that can
be depended on for dramatic punch"
In this scene the husband, who has
frankly married the heroine for her
beauty, she to escape poverty and keep
her brother from wrecking the social
system, comes home intoxicated and
the resulting frank discussion of mari
tai rights under such conditions is suf-
ficiently daring, to say nothing of the
finale of the act The case is unusual
and is headed by Charles Milward, n
sterling actor of serious roles.

Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-The market still has an up
ward tendency with quotations half a
cent higher than last week with the
movement a little brisker and de.
mands increasing. One of the chief
reasons for this condition is due to
calls from Japan. California has also
been slight factor in the situation,
while adyices from interior points in
dictate freer movement of stocks.
Figures on the worlds production for
the present year supplied by the de,
partment of agriculture give the
amounts as follows: All wheat, 1862.
100000 bushels, being SO per cent
more than last year; all rye, 1928,

last year; barley, 1924 100000 bush
els, 7 per cent more than last year;
oats, 4,571 100000 bushels, 2.s per
cent more than last year.
Flour-The market is somewhat un-
satisfactory and the situation pertain.
ing to the milling trade is generally
quiet to dull. The near approach of
the inventory period has a tendency to
cause millers to be chary about in
creasing their stocks. The export
business is practically featureless.
Feed-There is nothing new in the
situation since last report prices re-
naming the same. The advent of
colder weather is expected to bring
some improvement in the situation
