By Associated Press
Chicago, Sept. 22.--Fresh declines
in the price of wheat took place to-
day owing to down.urns in other
commodities, but subsequently news
of big exports of wheat caused a
rally. Selling was only sofl a scat
tered sort. The opening, which va
ried from unchanged figures to 2
cents lower. with De cember at S2:31
to S2.S2 and March at s2.241 to S2.z6,
was followed by general sag and
then a decided reaction.
Sharp advances were scored after
estimates became current that 5000
900 bushels OF domestic and Manito-
ba wheat had been taken for Europe.
The close was strong, 3 u TO 4 II cents
net higher, with December at $2.36 d
to $2.361s and march, at $3.50.
Corn.
New low price levels for the sea
son were reached in the corn mar
ket. Sentiment was bearish owing
to continued fine weather. After
opening uncnaHsSu 10 cent lo"Si'
with December at Sl.04A to $1.04 4.
the market broke all around. but
then recovered somewhat.
Gossip that there had been export
business in corn helped later to
strengthen the market September
delivery jumped about II cents on
covering by shorts. The market
closed nervous at ,thn same as YES
terday's finish to 13A cents higher,

SHIPPING BY MOTORTRUCKS
Much Valuable Time Saved by Group
OF Farmers In Maryland, Near
City Of Baltimore.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
A suggestion which should prove of
value to many communities of farm
ers, particularly those who are desfr-
Gus of building up retail trade In n
nearby town or city, Is found In the
organization of n cooperative motor
truck route perfected by group Of
farmers near Baltimore. In Hartford
county. Maryland. Shipping by motor
truck has saved much valuable time
for the co-operators Previously they
were obliged to take milk shipments
TO the railroad shipping points. Ex-
cept for those more favorably located,
this usually meant the loss OF the
services of n man and team two TO
five hours every day. At present the
co-operntors' trucks pass the doors Of
many of the farmers each day and
pick up their milk and produce. Those
living back from the main highway
bring their products to the highway
only This saves considerable time.
Full particulars regarding the manage
ment of this truck route are contained
In Farmers Bulletin No. 1882. copies
of which may he had by addressing a
request To the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
