BUYING IS
BOON TO GRAINS
Opening Prices Show Sub
StantiaI Advances Over Close.
BIZ United FlnanctdI

By United Financial
CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-Grain prices
were higher at the opening on the
Chicago Board of Trade today.
Wheat met good buying at the
opening. induced by higher domestic
and foreign markets, while Liverpool
opened strong. Buying for foreign
accounts on the local mart this morn
ing showed some improvement. Tho
bull sentiment which has elevated
prices during the past week was
strengthened by the general belief
that governmental aid to stricken
farmers of the Southwest viii be
forthcoming soon.
Buying by bulls and strong cash
market gave corn a higher opening
as did light receipts and unfayorable
crop news. 1t was the consensus of
opinion among cash dealers that
prices in that class would reachN$ a
bushel before the week end unless ar
rivals increase.
Oats went up with other grains and
good local buying. Farm feeding IS
heavier because of the relative cheap
ness of grain.
Provisions were higher with other
grains stronger cables and some buy

~ HE trend of building is one of
the movements in which busl-
- ness men and economists
everywhere are now most interested
The price OF lumber is one OF the
things that will determine whether
building will slacken further than It
has or whether II Will again turn
upward.
The United States Government
made an official study OF the costs of
manufacturing lumber from logs and
it found that every dollar received
by the lumber manufacturer is Ill
vided as follows: for wages IS cents
for material "a cents and for the profit
and overhead. including taxes, 81
cents
There figures show that lumber
making is unusual in that wages rep
resent the biggest factor. At 10 per
cent increase In wages Of lumber mill
workers would increase the selling
price OF the product 3.5 cents on the
dollar, while an increase in the price
of logs and other materials by 10 per
cent would influence the selling price
81 cents on the dollar.

WILL Be OPPOSED
Safety Board DiSapproves of
WiSe'S Proposal,

Any move made in the city council
to do away with city cars for admin
istration officials by use of taxi cabs
will be opposed by the board of safety,
it was indicated today.
Councilman Walter Wise advised
in a report Monday night that the
city would do well to investigate a
plan of Pittsburgh In which only the
police and fire departments have their
own cars. Other city officials hire
taxis on official business.
Local conditions make it impracti-
cal to rent cars. board members said
The extent of the citys area and
service mdae possible by municipal
cars makes them necessary, it was
said.
Police Chief Rikhoff pointed out the
demands made on police force here
to enforce laws not enforced in other
cities. He referred to the prohibition
laws. w. T. Bailey, assistant city
attorney, said other cities have fire.
quently asked for copies of the ordi-
nances authorizing the local system

Hog prices suffered another collapse

A generally better feeling dominated
