WHEAT ENDS WEEK
 AT SLIGHT LOSS
Corn Also 2 To 4 Cents Below
 Last Saturday

CHICAGO, August ,340.--Wheat today seems to be struggling between strong worlds situation and the impending movement of the new spring wheat crop which would increase hedging pressure on the market. With the exception of the July delivery, which is Sc higher, the wheat market this morning is down M to 1Ac, compared to the finish a week ago. Corn is 2A to 4hc lower; oats unchanged to %c off and provi- sions 2hs to $1 higher.
 Weather conditions in the northwest of late were generally favorable for maturing the late grain, it having been feared heavy rains this side of the in- ternaltiona1 line would damage the crop. Apprehension regarding the new Argen- tine wheat crop, which Is urgently in need of rain has come to the fore and some traders believe that any serious
 damage there will result in material change in the statistical position, es- pecially in view of Russia's request for offers of wheat which confirm reports of crop failues there.
 Estimates on the Canada nand Amer ican wheat crop generally show an in- crease. It is believed that with con- tinued favorable weather the movement in the northwest will get well under way before long.
 Unfavorable crop reports from the corn belt did much to bring about a recovery in corn values, which had hit the toboggan because of liquidating sales. Improved investment buying was largely responsible for the recovery, as were reports from Neraska which told of hot weather and need of rain. Other portions of the belt showed no material improvement under favorable weather. Threshing of oats has made rapid progress under favorable conditions, although a liberal percentage of the rains.
 Provisions broke sharply on, selling of lard by commission houses but later hardened with hog strength. A big demand for hog products in the near near future as a result of Germany's action in signing the Dawes plan.

MRS. SHAVER LAUDS DEFENSE DAY PLAN
Assails Bryan For Continued
 Harping' On Observance

HARMONY, ". Va, August 30.- In a letter which she declared lis not intended to be a political article but a patriotic indorsement of National De fense Day. Mrs. Clem L. Shaver, wife of the chairman of the Democratic Ma tional committee, condemns the pacifist movement and says ''the best way to prepare for peace is to show the world that we are ready for an emergency .''
 At one point in her lengthy letter, which was addressed today to the Fair mont West Virginian, Mrs. Shaver re- fers to Charles W. Bryan, democratic vice presidential candidate, as "a we'll known pacifist," and asks why "Mr. Bryan continues to pick at and harp upon the coming observance of Ma tional Dafense Day. insisting upon designating it "a 'milistaristic pro gramme."

COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, August S0.--Cotton values rose 26 points at the start today ! on covering due mostly to storm news ' but dropped 62 later and ended the day with a net loss of about 33 points. The selling was based largely on reports t of further easiness in spot basis, claim of some spot people that they are buy ing spots on a tenderable basis. Re- ports of considerable hedging and pre- 1 dictions of large hedging Tuesday when trading is resumed as a result of spot ,purchases made over the holidays. Sen | 4iment of most professional traders was eearish and 1t did not take much to in- ! cite them to active selling. The market, 1 however, took it in a way that indi- sates some large interests are accumu- ' lating contracts. We do not look for any particular change in the weather over the holidays and believe develop nents will prove more favorable to bay CTS than to sellers rs-Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.
 NEW YORK, August 30.--The market opened slightly lower than last nights close due to a few selling orders on profit taking, on the idea that the mar i ket would decline somewhat after yes terday's sharp advance, However, buy [ ing orders reached the market based on khe fact that continued reports of de- kerioration are coming in, and also on private crop estimates which have a tendency to cut the possible yielr con- { kfderably. The official map, however, showed rains in the Atlantic and as they are very badly needed, ,Sthey were, , of course, construed as beneficial and profit taking took place., causing the market to lose the early advance. There was also some evening up before the close in view of the pending holiday. The forecast does not predict any par ticularly bad weather, and if the heat continues throughout most of the best, further deterioration will undoubtedly occur. The Cuff storm seems to have died out considerably, and 1t Is report ed only blowing ten miles an hour a hundred miles out from Key West, headed northwest. Liverpool futures due Monday. October, 1s.97c; Janu- ary, 1s.7Sc. Hubbard Bros. & Go.
 NEW YORK, August sO.-Cotton showed disposition to rally during the last few days. The fact that a tropical storm of considerable intensity was reported off the Cuban coast. win possibilities of working into Texas and damaging or destroying open cotton caused considerable short covering and moderate buying for long account The Ratification of all the Dawes bills by the German government gave confi- dence, to the bull contingent early today and prices advanced moderately. How ever, around 25.25Si for October selling pressure became in evidence and con- tinued to the closing, which was at the bottom prices of the day. It is possible that Liverpool may place a bullish construction Monday and Tuesday on the passage of the Dawes bills and thus pave the way for higher American mar lkets Tuesday.
 If SO, we favor sales on moderate Advances We look for a large crop and ultimately much lower prices. We expect considerable hedge selling pres sure on market next week.-Charles Fairchild & Go.

Penelope's Shroud

During the long absence of Ulysses,
king Of Ithaca, at the siege of Troy, his
wife, Penelope, was beset by numerous
suitors for her hand. To put them
off, she declared that she could not
choose from among them, until she
had finished weaving a shroud, or robe,
for Laertes, her aged father-in-law.
Penelope was careful to undo at night
what she had woven by day, and thus
managed to keep her suitors at a dis
lance. This stratagem was finally dis
covered by her admirers, who there
upon renewed their attentions; but the
timely return Of Ulysses after an abb
sence of 20 years put an end to their
opportunities.
