ANDcORN
FUTURES SCORE
new Low PRICES

Chicago. Nov. zo.-New low ng-
ures on the crop were again record
ed today for wheat and corn futures.
There was. a fairly strong opening
in wheat Influenced by export con-
ditions but after initial buying by
seaboard houses ceased. there was
no support to the market and it
slumped from Sc for December
wheat to ~ for March. Liverpool
advices had it that United Kingdom
wheat supplies had reached such a
volume that the British wheat COM
mission was likely to reduce the
fixed prices Of wheat to millers.
After December wheat had touch
ed 1.67 there was a rally based
upon weekend covering and bullish
export reports. This movement
continued to the end. with the close
at 1.6S11@1.69 for December and
1.5Sh@1.59 for March, the net de-
clines for the day ranging from
Sc to 4Ac.
Opening wheat prices which were
from Nc to INC lower, with De-
cember 1.72 to 1.711s and March
1.63 to 1.621s, first stiffened at the
higher levels and then fell to 1.69
for December and 1.60A for March.
The wheat rally had small eff
feet on corn and when it wore off
the market eased off again. De-
cember corn closed at 64@64Bc
and May at 69A@7Oc. Oats fol-
lowed corn closely, with the May
option closing at 47%@4Sc after a
rally to 4S1sc from 47isc.
Commission houses sold corn and
there was renewed liquidation in
that pit. The opening was from &c
higher to hc lower with December
661sc to 66Ac, May at TIC to 71hc
to TIC. The slump carried Decem-
Der to 65Ac and May to 70Bc.
Oats yielded to the coin infiu-
ences and dropped from an opening
of 1880 to 48Ac for May, down to
48c.
Provisions were also weak, with
fresh pork and lard at reductions
in the cash market. -

MAYOR DISPROVES
OF GIVING CASH TO
CHICAGO SOCIETY

Mayor G. P. Skinner Of Moline.
in a letter to a resident of the city
today, made a formal request that
they support the Moline Red Cross
and the work which it is doing for
tuberculosis victims, rather than
the Children's National Tubercu-
losis society of Chicago.
Mayor Skinner stated that he
had investigated the Chicago Or
ganization's methods of collecting
funds and discovered that q large
per cent Of the money solicited
went Into the pockets Of the So
licitors." The mayor agreed that
the cause was a worthy one, but
stated that Moliners could do more
good by giving their money to the
Red Cross than trusting an organ
ization Of which they knew moth
ing.
