Chicago Produce Market

Chicago, Aug. 26.-(AP).
Free liquidation combined with the
absence of any news reports that
would have sustaining influence
caused all grains to slump at the
board of trade session here today. Sep
tember led the decline in both wheat
and corn. and while it was noticeable
covering entered the market on the
break. commission houses flooded the
market on all rallies. Price values
were rather easily affected. Closing
quotations found wheat I to ~ net
lower, September 1.563 to 1854 and
December 1851 to 1.55G, corn 81 to A
down, September 931 to 94A. oats / to
decline and provisions Is to 40 cents
lower.
The break in coarse grains. -particu-
1arly corn, was also factor for maxi
ing lower figure for wheat. Nu-
merous stop-loss orders were uncov-
also some liquidation for outside ac-
counts.
Favorable crop weather and a sub
stantial increase in movement tended
to check support in corn when COM
mission houses dropped large selling
orders into the pit directly after the
opening and continued this pressure
until the finish. Occasional rallies
|, were evidenced and it was widely said
that several large short interests COW
cred their commitments. Corn. how
ever dropped to it's very lowest point
at the finish and reached the low for
the season.
oats were dull and reflected the
| drop in corn.
Provisions were affected by the
weakness in grains.

''If I were to buy those White Leg
horn chickens of yours" remarked
Aunt Emmy, ''would you promise me
their eggs will sell for one dollar
and a half a dozen month from
now?"
"Of course not, Aunty," laughed
Helen. "The price Of eggs depends
entirely on the supply and demand
in the market"
"Well. how about stocks? Why
can this man promise you this stock
will be selling for twenty dollars a
month from now?"
"Well, I don't know exactly, but
the listings on the stock exchange
are different, aren't they?"
''The prices Of stocks quoted on
the stock exchange are Influenced
by supply and demand like the prices
of eggs. No one can honestly guar
antee the future price of any stock.
A promoter who urges you to buy
stock on any such guarantee is mis-.
Informing you. A stock salesman
you could trust would never make
such a statement. II you are going
to listen to such talk you'd better
put your money in the savings

"But I wouldn't make so much on
IT." objected Helen.
"Big profits mean big risks, and
you cannot afford to take risks"
said Aunt Emmy. '"The house that
gets out this booklet is unknown to
you. Why don't you find out who
you are dealing WITH"
"How can / find out about the
thousands Of stock houses in the

"Well," said Aunt Emmy, "if you
insist on considering making invest.
