CHICAGO GRA1z MARKET

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Wheat dropped to- day to q new low record price for 1921. Lloyd Georges speech on unemployment was followed by heavy selling that turn cd the market sharply down grade. Clos ing quotations were heavy at If to cents net lower with December 1. .03 1-2 to 1. 03 1-4 and May los If to 1.o8 1-2. Corn lost Is to 1-2 cents, oats finished unchanged to Is cents off, and provisions unchanged to a decline of 37 cents.
 The chief selling in the wheat pit came during the last half hour of the session and found the market practically with out support. The east and the northwest
 were especially prompt in taking to the bear side. Shorts had covered freely in
 the earlier trading and as a result there
 had been a decided rally from the ex-
 treme weakness which had developed in
 the last few days. When profit taking on the part of shorts had about ended,
 however, no other buying orders were in sight. It was at this junction that word of the Lloyd George speech att tracted- The values descended rapidly and the close was. almost at the bottom level reported. Reports of improved do- mestic milling demand together with talk that the rail strike might be ayerted were l helpful to the bulls early, but appeared to be altogether ignored later.

CONFESSED MURDER
 OF MATILDA RUSSO

Mount Holly, N. j., Oct. 19.-I,ouis Lively, the negro, who is alleged to have confessed that. he killed seven year old Matilda Russo at East Moorstown last June was brought here late today from Brtdgeton and locked up in the Burling- ton county jail. He was arrested earlier in the day at Vireland after shooting q policeman.
 Prosecutor Kelsey said tonight Lively had supplemented his earlier confession with statement duplicating his wife. She took no part in the actual killing, the negro was quoted as having salr, but has known since the night of the crime that he slew the little girl
 In his confession today, the police said Lively told them hehad returned to Bridgeton after wandering through Can ada and New England for more than four months, to kill policeman who had treated him cruelty while arresting him several years ago. He is reported to have said he did not mean to kill the Russo child, but that he became angry when he caught her taking pudding from his kitchen table and struck her with heavy oak stick. The blow was heavier than he intended, he said. After he found she was dead, he told the au- thorities, he siashed the body with his pocket knife and buried it in his eel lar He denied having assaulted the child before he killed her.
 The condition of Asa Wilson, the po- liceman shot while taking part in the capture of Lively, was reported tonight 1 to be grave. Physicians said he had but slight chance for recovery.
