factor On the decline of wheat val

ment that exports of domestic wheat
are turning out to be much larger
than was generally believed. Opening
prices, which ranged from Is to 21s

and May 1.57A to 1.5S, were followed
by a decided further drop and then
something of a reaction.

BALTIMORE, November 20. - The
local money market is no longer the
one sided affair it was few weeks
ago. Although rates still favor the
borrower, lenders are not as anxious
to extend accommodations at AZ per
cent as they were. A favored few
are still able to borrow at these
rates, but they are old-line custom
ers who keep comfortable balances
with banks. The rank and file pay
5 to per cent for 60 to 80 day loans.
Banks are well supplied with loan:
able funds, and there is no fear tn.
money will become scarce in tn.

END OF LANE
DUCKS Is SEEN
IN NEAR FUTURE
However, II Takes Long Time
To Amend Federal Con-

BY CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON. Dec 1O.-This
will not be the last 1ame-duck" ses-
sion of an American Congress. It
takes too long to amend the Coasti-
-ftion for that.
The end of '1ame ducll-ism' is IN
sight, however.
The Senate already ! as passed
the resolution for a vote of the
states to that END. Tie House has
yet to act on it, but it probably vii,
do so, and favorably, before next
March 4. Then it will be up to the
state legislatures to decide. All IN
dications are, when they do, that it
will be thumbs down" for '1awc
ducks"
The theory is, at an election the
people decide whether they ere
suited with the Congress they have
got, or not.
Vote Their Choices
If they are suited, presumably
they re-elect most of Tho old repre-
sentatives and senators, If not
suited, presumably they retire the
ones they don't like aud elect 9TH
ers in thheir places.
The election is held in November

sion, the new Congress does not
meet until 10 months later.
In the meantime. the old Con-
gress, which perhaps the people
have repudiated, remains at the
helm.
That's 'Game-duck" Congress.
At the last election 81 changes
were voted, which suggests that tic
people are far from satisfied with
the Congress they have now. New
ertheless, unless there is an extra
session, they will have to make the
best Of it until December, 1925.
Relic of Old Days
In the old days, when travel was
on horseback, by stagecoach or by
boat, delay was unavoidable II a
new congressman, elected in the
state of Washington, had to get to
the city of the same name in
prairie schooner, overland, or in q
sailing vessel around Cape Horn,
OBVIOUSLY his trip was gong to take
him the better part Of year But
not now.
Under the new plan, proposed by
Senator Norris of Nebraska and al
ready approved by the upper house
of Congress, the national lawmak
ing body will adjourn some time be-
fore election day in November, rctI
to meet again until the following
January, and when it does NEE til
will be the new Congress, not the
old one.
