CHICAGO GRAIN MARKEr

Chicago, May 25.-Wheat trading to- day consisted chiefly of what appeared to be the mopping up of wreckage of the May deal Demand for wheat to deliver on May contracts here had seemingly come to a holt, and with chances great Iy diminished for month end squeeze something of general rush to sell was witnessed The market closed unsettled 1-2c to 1-4c net lower. with May SIPS to SIPS 1-2 and July $1.21 3-4 to $1.2J 7-S
 In a series of price breaks which fol- lowed the opening of business in wheat, the market underwent an extreme fall of 4 3-4< cents, but then began to rally, helped by profit-taking on the part of bear speculators. Considerable notice also was taken of the fact that the Liver pool market had failed to follow the de- cline of volues here. However, the ma jority of traders went on the assump- tion that the report of the collapse of the May operations on the bull side was an accomplished fact This view was furth- cred by continuance of liquidating sales which were only offset in part by the action of shorts in profit taking. The new liquidation was ascribed chiefly to the action of shorts in proft-taking. The new liquidation was ascribed chiefly to eastern interests.
 hepo, ,af1Sct
 A disposition to be conservative on the selling side developed during / the late | trading in wheat, some leaders taking the l ground that sentiment had become toe unanimously bearish, and that technical 1 conditions could easily arise to give the market sudden upturn. On the other hand, the outlook was that the bulk o1 the domestic available supply would be located in Chicago by the end of the month.
 So far the arrivals here have failed to be shipped out at all rapidly, and new receipts today here totalled 300 carloads

FnnIlsh Hire. Gaming

For magnitude and vast expenditursS of monev IiniTersal,s masterpiece, .sFoolish Wives" directed by Erich Won Stroheim. is far in excess of any previ- ous photodrama ever conceived.
 This production actually cost more than one million dollars and 'has been over a year in the making. but contrary to many so-called million dollar produce tions," the expenditure in both time and money in Foolish Wives wiil be sp-' parent on the screen as may be seer here beginning Sunday when it is pre- sented at the Broadway theatre.
 A recent analysis of the cost of the production shows s4oo,000- as the con- struction cost for the sets--dsed. The replica of Monte Carlo built at Monterey is estimated al s120.O00: the magnificent group of buildings erected at Universal City to show Monte Carlo from the land side cost $150.0o0 and an Italian villa with it's surrounding grounds cost s15.- 900. Fifteen interior sets of unusual splendor cost s1oo.0oo.
 More than 325,D00 square feet of lumber was used in construction work at an approximate cost of SIS per thou sand feet In addition 10 this. many new stages had to be built to contain the huge settings.
 The entire expense Of the rroducffost was almost equally divided between con- struction cost on the settings and the eT- pense of keeping the army of players. as- sistant director and extra people neces- sary for the picture There were as many as 1000 extra people used at one time in the big crowd scenes. all Of them drawing from si0 to $50 a day. while the. salaries of the principal players and won Stroheim's executive assistants fo- tailed thousands Of dollars week. Y For use in the duplication Of the Cafe de Paris, shipment of fi2.oo9 worth of glass was ordered. The front Of the cafe facing the gorgeous square is one maze of plate glass, which gives the din- CTS an unrestricted view of the maEnih- cent plaza. the Hotel de Paris directly across the square and the gambling ca sino to the right. At a cost of ffeo .oot this entire square was faithfully repro duced.
 So huge Is this set that long shots O. | 500 feet from two absolutely different angles were possible. For six weeks. li' carpenters, 32 plasters and 20 ornarnenta lplasterers worked on this set.
 The film is recognized in moving pie ture circles as "the greatest achievement of Carl Laemmle. chief of the Univsrs al film company"
