of some trains. Cattle receipts during the

of the year as against 1921 the previous
week. One load of steers reached $1,000 and
few others scored $1,000 to S10.25, says

Los Angeles, July 29.-Will H. Hays,
president of the Motion Picture Pro-
ducers and Distributors association of
America, in n talk at a dinner given
in his honor last night by the Holly
wood Chamber of Commerce, declared
he had failed to find 1.-The horrors of

1.-The one bad influence in Holly

the life of nre cannot see the horrors

WEEKLY GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, July 80 - Notwithstanding
enormous export BUSINESS, wheat has gone
down in price this week as a result of the
new winter crop being pressed forward in
greater volume than the market could read
fly absorb? Compared with week ago,
wheat this morning was 115c to PIC lower,
corn off sc to 1sl@1Ac;' oats sc to &c
decline, and provisions at a setback of &C
to SOC.
With speculative buying of wheat re-
stricted to nearly the vanishing point and
with primary receipts swollen at times to
almost double the aggregate for last year s
corresponding period, the burden on the
market appeared too heavy to prevent at
least a moderate descent of values.
Most of the bearish elements of the sit
uation was difficulty in getting attractive
offers for wheat for future delivery on ac-
count of rail and coal strikes. Toward the
end of the week a good deal of notice was
taken on opinions that the settlement of
the strikes would stimulate general
business to be a bullish instead of a
bearish factor in wheat.
Corn and oats receded with wheat and
which touched new low record prices
for the season.
Provisions were affected by grain weak
ness and by a break in Liverpool quota
tiOnS for lard.
