Official announcement that wheat ex-

values here. Wheat closed strong. ] /

cember LEG to 1.G6i and MAY 61S to
Lee. with corn at to cent advance.
oats to to down and provisions
varying from 10 cents decline to rise
of % cents
At first the wheat market showed a
downward trend owing to reports of
better weather conditions in general
and because of setback in quotations
in Liverpool. Sentiment here charged
quickly, though when word came that
Russia had embargoed wheat exports
and that the Russian crop had been
over-estimated 100000, 900 bushels. In
addition. trade comment from Europe
today was generally taken here as i'm
plying pessimism as to world supplies
of wheat in compariso with needs.
Aggressive buying developed. and aft
er a rapid ascent the market finished
at the days top level.
Late news from Argentina as well as
from Russia gave force to the wheat
market advance. According to one au-
thority no export wheat this season
will be available from northern Ar
gentina, whore the crop was reported
as being viruually a failure. Besides.
only light deliveries are expected here
tomorrow on December contracts and
there were adviees at hand that re-
ceipts in the northeast. Minneapolis in
particular. are likely to decrease from
now on, The United States visible
supply increased $4,000 bushels
against $4,000 bushels increase a
year ago.
Corn prices were ruled largely by
the action of wheat. The fact that ar
rivals of corn were of less volume
than was looked for counted as a
strengthening influence. but not until
December corn had touched the lowest
price yet this season. Oats were de-
pressed by an outlook for fair sized
deliveries tomorrow. December oats
as we'll as December corn outdid the
seasons low price record.
Despite weakness of hog values, pro
visions averaged higher in line with
corn.

Present Methods
Getting Goods to
Consumer Satisfactory

Washington, Nov. 30-(AP)-Prc-
sent channels of distribution in gem
eral furnish the most economical
and expeditions methods" of getting
goods from producers to consumers.
IN the opinion OF the committee on
methods of distribution Oh the Unit
ed States chamber of commerce.
Inc committee has just finished a
survey of distribution channels in
preparation for the national distri
button conference to be held here
Dec. 10 and 1G, and has concluded
that there are no short cuts by
Whlch the costs of marketing may be
materially reduced"
Its report, made public last night,
asserted that the middleman. or
Wholesaler ofen blamed for takin,
too large Il portion of the consumers
dollar, was performing IL necessary
function, the expense of which would
continue, even if performed by some
other agency.
Chain stores, the report continued,
ARE an important influence in reduc-
ing marketing costs and in changing
methods of distribution but well
managed unit stores, handling a
carefully selected line of products,
and giving service, are always going
to hold a large proportion of the to-
tai business"
The committee saw two evident
dangers in the expansion of install
ment selling, including ,ne emphasis
on terms of sale rather than on price
and quality and encouragement OF
over buying.
Turning to cooperative marketing,
which was found to exist primarily in
agriculture, the reports stated that
despite its ups and downs. "the gen
eral tendency of the movement is de-
cidedlv upward and there is no doubt
but that cooperative marketing will
grow in Importance as time goes on

up of wholesa lers. retailers. manu-
facturers and Representatives Of
