PRICE DECLINE
Commission Houses Sell Freely and
Export Sales Fail to Material
y Support Market

CHICAGO. Nov 3.-The Repub-
lican landslide did not have the eff
fect some traders expected II would
nave on the wheat market as prices
declined sharply here today, going
2 S-4 to 8 1-2 cents lower Commits
sion houses were free sellers on the
rallies and at the close prices 5
showed but little recovery from the
low prices. Export sales reported
failed to give the market much sup
port, and more attention was paid
TO the big receipts at Winnipeg. The
movement in that quarter suggested
the desire of producers to get their
grain to market as rapidly as pos
sible.
Italy was credited with buying
wheat and other continental coun-
tries We're moderate buyers. For
.eign markets generally were quiet.
Most of the wheat sold was for jan
uary shipment.
Kansas City prices rejecting the
Southwest market conditions were
little lower relatively than Chi
cago. Northwest prices were about
steady relatively.
The definite settlement Of the
English coal strike was ignored,
having been taken for granted
Early declines in stocks and cotton
caused some selling of wheat fu-
lures. Houses with export con-
nections and some of the larger To-
cal commission houses were leading
buyers here.

DESERT BOY TO BE A SCOUT

A letter from the hot desert stretches
near Lund, Utah, aroused the interest
Of scout officials in Salt Lake City. 1t
was written by a woman from the dis
trict In the interest of O lad "who
shows an interest in everything good"
and whom the writer declares is too
bright to become merely q struggling,
half-starved farmer on the desert.
The writer had recently read a story
of a lad just turning twelve who was
about to attain his ambition Of be-
coming a scout. Believing that scout.
ing might be the very channel through
which the little hero Of the desert
might be lifted into a bigger life, she
asked for any scout literature for the
boy.
Scout Executive Oscar Kirkham has
written in reply that the lad may be-
come a pioneer scout without afilia-
ton with any troop; that there is a
scout magazine published for the boys.
and that the boy may become a can.
