CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-Wheat action was
choppy today. There was a dip on hog
values on pressure from longs, but commits
sion house buying developed and prices rail-
lied. About midsession buying of December
by house with eastern connections caused
the locals to trail on, but, after a cent
advance, other eastern houses were free sell
ers, and this caused locals to sell out, and a
sharp reaction was noted The president s
message recommending the financing of ex-
ports by the War Finance corporation failed
to have any effect on the market. Milling
demand was slow. Deliveries OF December
contracts were 5000 bushels.
Local bulls gave December corn support,
and that delivery held fairly well, but the
deferred months felt pressure and were
easier. Cash corn was firm at the start,
but later the demand gave out and losses
of 12c and 1c were posted. Shipping de-
corn east and to the seaboard much below
Chicago basis.
Oats were steady. There was some buy
ing by local elevator interest.
In provisions lard received good support,
but meats reflected the weak hog market
Eastern exporters were after loose lard.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 6.-Wh hat
looked to many brokers like covering
oe short contracts supported the cot
ton market on the opening today in
the face Of poor cables and private
bureau ginning returns that were
larger than expected. but the initial
hard spot was soon replaced by a
sag. After rising twenty-one to
thirty points over yesterdays final
sales there was a drop to levels un-
changed to twelve points under. JAN
uary traded up to 34.69 cents
pound, and fell off to 34.40. Private
bureau figures placed genning up
TO December 1 at $4,000 bales, in
dicating ginning for the last period
of I'll 900 bales.
The cotton exchange announced
that it would be closed four days
during the holiday period: Monday
December "a; Tuesday, December 23;
Monday, December 81. and Tuesday.
January /.
New buying met the decline and
the demand increased materially
when the points in the presidents
message to congress commenced to
come over the wires. Around mid
season there was a sharp rally to
1904 for January at which level
prices were Sc to 20 points over the
finals Of yesterday.
The afternoon brought a violent
break amounting to almost a cent
Il pound. Many brokers considered
that it was due to efforts to unload
the cotton bought around the open
ing. BY 1870 o'clock January was
OFF to 3415. with the trading months
25 to 81 points under the final
prices of yesterday. July at 1856
was 95 points down from the top
of the day.

FOUR WHEEL BRAKE BUICK
FORGING STEADILY AHEAD

II am not surprised that q number
OF insurance companies have reduced
their collision rates for cars equipped
with four-wheel brakes. after seeing
this demonstration was shown to
my entire satisfaction how the four
wheel brakes win lessen the danger
from accidents caused by congested
traffic and slippery pavements. The
driver Of the 1894 Buick certainly has
greater ease of mind than is possible
to the driver of q car not 30 equip
ped"
The above statement by c. E. Sea-
graves chief detective at Athens,
Georgia, is merely a repetition of thous-
ands Of similar statements being
made daily by every person who en-
Joys demonstration OF the new
Buick. princely car, that combines
a remarkable safety with unequalled
perfection c; mechanism and a mar
velous beauty Of design.
While it is not claimed that the
four-wheel brakes absolutely prevent
skdding. they do very materially re-
duce danger from that source. The
tendency Of a car to skid when the
rear wheels are locked and the front
wheels allowed to roll without re-
straint is very great, for the rolling
front wheels pull the locked rear
wheels into a skid. With the four
wheel brake, a car can in most cases
be brought to stop without locking
the wheels because of the braking ef-
feet on all four wheels and the road
friction on four tires.
Manufacturers Of the 1924 Buick
are unable to keep up with the orders
that are pouring in from all over the
country. A number Of the new cars
are to be seen on Delta streets and
the number is rapidly increasing. e.

PLENTY OF MONEY TO
LOAN AT 6 PER CENT

In discussing State school funds
recently with Governor Stephan he in
formed us that the State Land Board
now has plenty of money on hand
with which to make farm loans and to
buy issues of school bonds. The farm
loans are made at per cent per an
mum, interest payable annually and
for term of from three to five years.
No commission Is charged on these
loans and no agents are authorized to
act, and the law prohibits any agent
from charging commission. There
fore, the application must be made
direct to the State Board of Land
Commissioners. Capitol Building. Dem
yer. 9'- 1f AiE
Loans are made on land free and
clear Of incumbrances; that is to say,
It must be secured by first mortgage.
This provision unfortunately prevents
the making OF loans under the Gunni-
son Tunnel. but all other sections of
Delta county might well profit by this
low interest rate on State money.
