RECEIPTS AND SHIPMENTS
Corn Continues to Slump.
During Last Weeks Trading

Chicago, Sept. Notwithstanding as
sertions in some quarters that farm COM
modites have OF late dropped to a point
probably below the real cost Of produc-
ton, the downward slide Of the corn mar
ket has made further progress this weeh.
Corn prices this morning showed declines
varying from Nc to &c a bushel compared
with a week ago. Oats were unchanged
to nc lower. In provisions, the diff
ferences ranged from $3.50 decline to
s1.22h advance.
One of the main reasons ascribed for the
fresh setback in the value of corn was the
prospect that this year the new crop
would be ready to market much earlier
than usual. In this connection. good
deal of notice was taken OF the fact that
one shipment of new corn was slated to
arrive In Chicago Monday. beating pre-
vious records by about two weeks. Be-
sides, reports indicated that new corn was
conditioning rapidly in all sections, and
that to an important extent the plan by
which producers would systematically cur
tall offerings had failed to meet with
general acceptance. The bearish influ-
enence Of the steel strike was completely
discounted before hand.
Oats were steadied somewhat by q
bulge in foreign exchange rates.
Lard rose owing to a big decrease In
the warehouse stock OF the commodity
here. Other provisions weakened with
corn. &

holders Of September contracts we're liq-

deliveries had been smaller than expected,
any prospect of a squeeze In the remain
ing days OF the month was not looked
upon by many dealers as serious. On the
other hand, the smallness Of the Septem-
Der deliveries and the lightness of offer
ings tended to make shorts uneasy as to
whether new crop supplies would come
forward freely. Besides, hog quotations
were higher. and bullish sentiment was
Indirectly encouraged by an advance in
foreign exchange rates likely to stimu-
late the export Of oats and provisions.

Prayer by Compass;
Musselmans Locate
East In London Fog

London, Sept. 27.-Praying by
compass may have its disadvantages
and all that, but if you were a de-
vout Musselman from the hinter-
land of Sudan and found yourself
housed for the first time in Lon
don hotel you'd either have to pray
by compass or not at all.
Sir Said : Ali FL Morghani, Said
Add Ell Rahman Ell Mahdi and their
dark-skinned companions of the SUI
danese diplomatic mission to King
George find themselves in this pre-
dicament. Wherefore when the
prophets sacred hour of prayer
draws near and each Sudanese gen.
tleman gets out his little prayer rug
to lay between the rosewood clothes
press and the brass bedstead in the
Hotel Savoy's more or less palatial
royal suite" the single magnetic
needle brought along from Africa as
part of the company's necessary
equipment points unerringly to the
blessed east.
So each devout follower of Mo
manned knows just how to place
his prayer rug in relation to that
part of smoky London revealed by
the windows.
The visits of the chiefs of tribes
in the Sudan to Buckingham palace
drew large crowd to the gates to
see these very stately and imposing
personages in their flowing white
dress. They came from the Sudan,
where. not many years ago Kitchen
er was leading a British army, to
congratulate the king on the victory
of the allies. The head of the mis-
sion is Sir Said Ali Ell Morghani,
whose loyal address to the king was
from the Arabic by Sir
Reginald Wingate.
One point in the speech was that.
whereas former wars only decided
the fate of belligerent nations, this
war had involved the future of all
weak nations, among which was the
Sudan. He spoke also of the loyalty
of the Sudanese during the war in
spite of the intrigues of the enemy.
Then a beautiful gold sword was
to the king by Said ADD Ell
Rahman Ell Mahdi. who is son of
the Mahdi whose fame was once so
great, with oriental expressions OF
fealty and submission.
The king replied at some length,
asking the chiefs to convey to the
tribes in the Sudan his appreciation
Of their loyalty and wishes for the
welfare of the country. The chiefs
received decorations and on leaving
the palace drove to the York House.
There is, of course, considerable
political importance in this ceremo-
NAL visit.
