1t is expected that 1000 women will

The Democrats are sending some

Then there will be women at the
conventions who will not be dele

with the delegates, because they are
earnestly interested in the election.
There will be groups working for
certain planks of particular interest
to woman voters. such as education,
child labor, prohibition, equal rights,

eaten the sarcasm.
But she missed it altogether. She

125,OOO,OOO BUSHELS

Australia's wheat crop this year
will exceed the ,125, 100000 bushels
produced in 1923 in the opinion of De-
partment of Agriculture agents there.
The increase is placed at 1o,775.0oo,
an increase Of more than a million
acres. New Zealand's wheat acreage
is reported greater than last year
while Chile's crop Is expected to equal
that OF 1929.
The wheat market became rather
unsettled during the week ending De-
oember s, according to the weekly
grain market review by the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Larger offerings of Argentine wheat
for new crop shipment at prices
cents, cents below those prevailing
in United States markets restricted
the export demand, and together with
the large. visible supply became a
weakening factor in the market
However, the feeling among the trade
that all of the available surplus
would be needed during the crdp year
held prices steady throughout the

BUYING IN STEEL
MUCH IMPROVED
Tin Higher, Zinc Cheaper,
Copper Firm, Metal Re-
view Reveals.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, December 6.-Leading
producers OF steel are now running at
close to 80 per cent Of capacity, which
gives concrete evidence of the volume
OF the recent buying. The demand is
keeping up remarkably we'll, in view
OF the season of the year and the ex-
tent OF recent purchases. The under
tone Is firm, although quotations are
still slightly irregular. The daily pro-
duction Of pig iron during November
gained 3,749 tons over October and pro-
| ducers are blowing in more furnaces to
take care Of recent sales. The demand
Is quieting down somewhat, but Is still
OF fair volume.
Copper firm, Demand has tapered of,
and there have been reactions in Eu-
ropean markets. The latter have been
offset by advances in exchange rates,
however, and no selling pressure has
developed from producers or second
hands. Most of the larger selling
agencies are believed to be booked
pretty we'll ahead and are maintaining
full quotations, probably in anticipation
OF a renewed demand after the turn
Of the year.
Tin made a new high on moderate
accumulation of futures, encouraged oy
the advance in sterling exchange and
anticipat tion OF an enlarged demand
from consumers after the turn OF the
new year Prices subsequently settled
back on indications OF pressure being
| exerted in London.
Lead was quotably unchanged, with
demand better for desilveriZed and cor
| rodng for prompt and December denV-
t,ery. Available supplies showed no signs
of increasing.
| Zinc easier. owing to a falling off
| in the demand and sharp break in the
! London market.

! limited and market unsettled, owing
