GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-After starting
firmer On fair buying by leading com
mission hShses this morning, the wheat
market weakened under selling by longs.
1t was estimated that the So les for ex-
port in the last twenty four hours were
about 1000 bushels. Moreover, sterling
exchange was harder, but the inquiry
from abroad appears to be turning to
Canadian wheat and farmers in the
Dominion seemed to be satisfied with
the price. The receipts of wheat here
today were forty eight cars.
A private cable said that the British
Government had reiterated that the
maximum price this season for wheat
would be approximately $3.96 to 81 a
bushel Of sixty pounds.
Oats also lost ground after steady
to firm start. At first there was mod
crate buying by leading commission
houses, but offerings increased later.
The receipts of oats for the day were
ninety seven cars.
September started at 60%c to 60bc
and later sold at net loss Of Nc, at
60Ec. December opened at 63esc to
83Bc and declined to yesterdays last
price Of 83asc. After opening Nc
higher, at 81, May declined to 66hc.
Corn was weaker under scattered
selling by commission houses. Local
purchasers were mainly operators, pre-
sumably taking profit lines. Bearish in
fluences included larger receipts and
good weather in the belt.
The receipts of corn for the day were
210 cars. September opened at 81. %
to S1.27H, against S1.2S% at the close
yesterday, and declined to 81 .26&s. De-
cember started at $1.10 to $1.09h and
later sold at a net decline of cent, at
S1.09. May was quoted at 81 .10A to
$109A at the outset, against 1.10A
Yesterdays last price, and later sold
at 81 .O9as.

Elko theatre Sunday. Monday and

but does not begin to do justice to
the urnsual comedy theme which pre-
walls thru the entire production. 1t

because of its genuine humor, its
lack of slap-stick methods and its
clean production of real American
comedy. Add to all these the pleas

NEW WILLIAM RUSSELL
PICTURE IS "BEST YETI

,Heralded as the best feature in
which William Russell has starred,
"The Man Who Dared" a new Will
liam Fox production with the story
laid in the California redwoods, is
coming to the Rex. theatre on Tues
day.
william Russell has the role Of
Big Jim O'Kane, boss Of lumber
jack camp. The story which is by
Julius G. Furthmsn, tells what hap,
pened to Big Jim and the girl he
loved when he "got in wrong" with
the sheriff. For the sheriff, happen
ed to be in love with the girl, too,
and he was not exactly all that a
sheriff should be.
The film is said to be notable for
the beauty Of its setting. Trees grow
ing 200 feet high in the Redwoods,
and to walk the forest paths is like
walking in the naves of great cath
edrals. Clyde de Vinna is respon-
sible for the photography. Support
ing Mr.. Russell are Eileen Percy, a
very attractive actress who has since
become Fox star; Frank Brownlee
and Lon Poff Emmett J. Flynn di-
rected the picture.

Mechanician Rides to Fame
in Race in Los Angeles, Cal.

Celebrating his debut as a profess
ional driver by understanding the mo-
tor speedway's most seasoned war
riors, and by winning the gruelling
250-mile grind without tire change,
was the amazing performance of Me-
chanician Jimmy Murphy at the re-
cent opening Of the new Los Angeles
speedway at Beverly Hills.
Without parallel in the annals of
automobile racing, Murphy's sudden
leap to fame and swift transformation
from an unheard-of mechanician to a
driver of world renown, has set the
motor world agog and buzzing with
tense excitement. The new champion
of the speedway already is hailed as
one of the sport worlds popular he
roes of the day, and as driver who
will remain a dominant figure in mo-
tor racing for years to come.
Like the grand opera stars under
study patiently waiting her chance to
fill the prima donna's rcle and to
achieve the fame which she had
struggled desperately for years, so
