Raw desert land sells for $500 an

to irrigate it, fertilize it, play with

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES
LIBERTY BOND MARKED
CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Nov. S.-Wheat suffered big new breaks today simultaneously with acute depression of foreign exchange mad with liberal receipts at Kansas City and Omaha. The. market closed unsettled, 4 3-4 to 6 cents net lower with De- cember 1.S4 "A to 1.S4 1-2 and March 1,S2 to 1.S2 1-4 Corn finished 1-8 to 5-s cents higher and oats unchanged to 1-4 cent up. In provisions, the outcome va ried from the same as Saturdays finish to 20 ce;~>s lower.
 Sentiment regarding wheat was in- tensely bearish from the outset, and pric- es fell sto the lowest levels of the sea- son. Decentralization of foreign ex- change was accepted on all sides as indi- eating an increased handicap on export business, an opinion that was emphasized
 by news of the failure of an export con
 cern at New York, although the failure did not appear to have resulted from grain dealings. Besides the liberal ar-
 rivals at Kansas City and Omaha, mes
 sages from the southwest told of heavy
 notices of consignment from the coun- try and it was contended in some quar- ters that the farmers strike has been broken.
 Selling was general and at no time did 1 the market show much power to rally i Corn and oats developed frmness owing l to scantiness of arrivals of corn and tc evening up for the government reportf 1 The government figures on corn, how 1 ever, proved bearish. l Provisions were depressed by lower quotations on hogs

NawleagueFonnedW WhenMaiOrsBrO

Chicago, Nov. s-Tne major base ball leagues today were broken up and a new twelve club league composed of the eight National league clubs and the three from the American league which have sided with them in the plans for reorganization of the game was organized A twelfth member will be chosen later, it. was announced
 Organization of the new league came after the five American league clubs had refused to reply to an ulti- matum issued by the other eleven clubs giving them an hour and half to join in the reorganization.
 After organizing the new league the magnates proceeded with the Lasker plan for civilian control of profession al baseball and appointed Judge Kene- saw M. Landis of Chicago chairman of the tribunal which will govern the game.
 Judge Landis, if he accepts the posi- ton, will be the supreme dictator of all leagues joining the plan and will receive a salary of s50,000 a year.
 Second and third members of the tribunal will be appointed later and one of them will be chosen by the minor leagues. Representatives of the new league left tonight for Kansas, where the National Association of Minor leagues meets tomorrow to pre- sent the proposition to them.
 The minor league member would serve for six years while Judge Landis would be given a contract for seven years, according ko.a statement made after the meeting by the club owners.
 Judge Landis was notified of his ap- pointment by committee of five members and he told them he would take the matter under advisement for few days.
 The plans for the new league and a new controlling body contain freqtlent reference to the minor leagues which are given assurance that they will not be overlooked in administration of the game and that their territory will not be invaded in selecting the twelfth member of the new league
 The action came after an all-day session of both factions in the reor- ganization plans with neither side yielding to the other.
 Emissaries from the Johnson camp conferred with the club owners at the joint session of eight National and three American league clubs but with out result. At 2:30 D. m., the joint session issued an ultimatum to the Johnson clubs telling them that they could either come over and take part in the meeting, which would be gov erned by a majority vote, or a new league would be formed. Failing to hear from the five American league clubs, the other eleven clubs went ahead with their announced plans.
 The five clubs which stood with Johnson in the fight are Detroit, Phil adelphia, Cleveland, Washington and
