Prospective hedging sales of wheat

than wiped out early gains. The mar
ket closed steady but ! to cent nel

September 1.09A. Corn finished at a
rang ovarying from 4 decline to cent
advance, and oats lost to cent; IN
provisions the outcome varied from
unchanged figures to 20 higher.
At first the wheat market showed
decided upward tendency, Influenced IN
the main by reports Of further rains
doing extensive damage to crops in the
southwest. European political deyel-
opments counted also as q bulllsh rae

proposed removal Of italian import du-
ties on foodstuffs. Export demand
however. was slow. and general buying
soon dwindlec. The market then began
to recede and efforts to bring about
rallies had but little effect.
With receiving houses reporting tnat
country shippers were asking for prices

would be much in evidence by the week

Rough Water Holds Up Rescue
of Survivors in Gulf
of Gabes.
by international News Service.

PARIS, Dec. 31.-Officials Of the
ministry of marine today anxiously
awaited further word from Sfax, on
the Gulf of Gabes, regarding the
three living men who had been
sighted at sea on raft, in the hope
they might be survivors of the lost
French dirigible Dixmude.
Violent gales were raging over
the Mediterranean at the time the
Dixmude was lost, and it is gen.
orally believed that the men were
survivors of some foundered fish
ing craft rather than the balloon.
1t was pointed out that, even if
they saved themselves. with para
chutes, they would be without
means of constructing a raft.
A fishing boat was put into Sfax,
reported sighting the raft with the
three men but was unable to aid
them on account of rough weather
and water.
Virtually all officials now be.
bottom Of the Mediterranean and
that all of the fifty persons on
board persisted.
The body of Lieut.. Comdr. Du-
plessis de Grenedan, of the Dix
nude, is on it's way home to Tou-
Ion.
1t is anticipated that the official
investigation of the loss of the
Dixmude and the circumstances
under which the voyage to Algeria
was undertaken December 18. will
result in sensational disclosures.
