NASHVILLE CALLED OFF
GAME WITH DAWSON
COULDN'T COME ON ACCOUNT
OF BAD ROADS. SCHEDULE
FOR SEASON ANNOUNCED.

The heavy rains, which Began last
Tuesday afternoon and continued
throughout the week, spelled disaster
for the high school football squad
Considerable preparation had been
made for the opening game OF the sea-
son Friday afternoon. A large amount
of time and money had been expended
to get the field in proper shape for the
fray, and when the coach OF the Nash
vile team 'phoned that on account of
bad roads his team could not fill the
engagement here it caused consider
able disappointment. The home boys
have had several weeks OF hard prac-
tice, and counted a great deal on the
game which had been arranged for.
With the exception OF a single date
(Friday OF this week., schedule for
the year has been completed. Only
three games were played in Dawson
last season, but this year practically
all OF the games will be played on the
home field Coach Morgan is trying
hard to find a team to play his eleven
next Friday, and Fort Gaines seems
the best chance. The Fort Gaines
bunch is reported to be hard scrappers,
and if they come should furnish
enough opposition to make the game
interesting.
The schedule as it now Stands is as
follows: October 3rd, pending; Octo-
Der 10th, Sylvester, here; October
18th, Cordele, here; October oath,
Nashville, here; October 31st, Ameri-
Gus, here; November 9TH, Sylvester, in

CHICAGO, August 2s.-Prices ad- vanced 1 to Pc on active speculative buying. The report of large production in Canada has been generally refuted and Winnipeg advanced 2hc. Move ment of wheat out of primary markets is greater than movement in, indicating rapid taking of the crop. Cash wheat is firm. Reports from Argentine. con- tinue to be unfavorable to the crop. Corn opened higher, the advance hold ing throughout the day. Cash corn is being firmly held and reports regarding the growing crop were mixed, but on whole not favorable. Oats: There was good advance in sympathy with corn. Cash offerings were somewhat larger and the bulge brought out considerable profit taking-H. & B. Beer to J. F. Will lingham 6 Go.

fourteen million bushels. Furthermore, present estimates of the world rye crop place 1t at a quantity 16 per cent less than in 1928. The significance of this lies in the fact that European wheat markets during the past year have been weakened by large supplies of cheap ryer used as Q bread substitute for wheat.
 The six leading wheat exporting na- tions will this year have 10 per cent less wheat available for export than they actually exported last year. Add ed to this is the indication that under normal consuming conditions importing European countries will, because of smaller crops, require fifty million bushels more of wheat than in the last year.
 Under such conditions American wheat growers with alarger crop, high CT prices and a broader foreign mar ket have before them opportunity, spelled with capital letters, to recoup some of their losses Of recent years.

LAST HALF. HOUR
 SEES BEAR RAID
 IN STOCK MART
Market As Whole Resists Professional Pressure
 And Liquidation
By EDWARD J. CONDLON Especial Leased Wire to Age Herald


 NEW YORK, August 28. Dealings in the stock market were trimmed down to preholiday proportions Thursday, but the market as whole showed good re- sistance to the further pressure brought to bear by professionals and by the liq- uidation on the part of recent buyers who are joining the exodus from town for over Labor Day. Indeed, the gen eral public made relatively light com mittments so that the last half hour of business saw something which bore very close resemblance to a bear raid with very few of the faithful left to man the earthworks.
 American Can broke to new low on the current reaction in the close of the day, American Ice fell points, Youngstown Sheet and Tube, points, and United States Steel lost it's early gain and finished fractionally lower for the session. Even the rail aver ages showed net declines for the day, although in the early dealings fresh buying was induced by the publication of the car loadings figures for the week ended August 16, which set "a new high record for 1924.
 Ratify Merger Terms
 One of the biggest bits of railroad news came very late Thursday after noon, when directors of Pere Mar quette, after long session, ratified the terms by which the road will become part of o. F. and M. J. Van Swer- ingen's proposed greater Nickel Plate system. Pere Marquette was the last of the five roads concerned to approve the merger plans. The matter is now up to roads stockholders and to the interstate commerce commission. It will bA remembered that in the, groupings proposed by the l. c. O., Pere Mar Quette and Nickel Plate were listed in two entirely different groupings.
 There is some talk of hitch in rati- fication by the stockholders of Chesa- peake and Ohio, which, along with Erie, Hooking Valley and Pere Mar Guette, are included in the Nickel Plate merger plans. The directors of the road have placed their stamp of approval on the matter, but some stockholders are unwilling to accept the terms offered, believing that c. and O., is yielding better return than will the greater Nickel Plate. from the standpoint of the present Chesapeake and Ohio stock holders. A merger of this size is bound to find some dissentors, but it is gen orally believed that the real decision in the matter rests with. the interstate commerce commission.
 Canadian Dollar Climbs
 The most interesting feature in the foreign exchange market was the climb of the Canadian Dollar above par for the first time in almost two years. Bankers are looking forward to firm Canadian rate for some time to come, inasmnch as this is the season for grain exports. The premium Thursday as 1-S2 of per cent. Gold is profit ably exported to Canada when the rate reaches 1S of per cent premium, and 5udging from the inquiry heard in the local market for the precious metal, Canadians expect further rise in the Dominion's currency.
