GRAIN SELLS OFF
AS WEEK BEGINS
Drop in Liverpool Reflected
in Chicago-Corn and
Oats Also Lower.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, August 81. - Wheat
prices took an early swing downward
today, influenced to a considerable
extent by material decline at Liver
pool. The setback in values abroad
was in turn ascribed more or less to
fine harvest weather being enjoyed by
Great Britain and other European
countries and to reports of favorable
crop conditions in Argentina. Some
standing orders to stop losses at vari-
our fixed limits were forced into action
here by today's drop. The opening,
II to 21s off, with December 1.51A
to 1.52 and May 1.551a to 1.56, was
followed only by a slight rally.
Corn and oats were easy, sympa-
thizing with wheat weakness. Besides
receipts of corn were liberal, 324 cars.
After opening unchanged to a lower.
December 8112 to S1% corn recovered
and then went a little above Satur-
days finish. Oats started unchanged
to u off, December 419s to AIS, and
later held near to the initial figures.
In line with hog values the pro-
vision market was steady.

BEAD TRADE REACHES
ENORMOUS TOTALS
$50, 100000 Worth of Goods
Bought by U. S. Dealers in
Past Five Years.
Special Dispatch to The Star


NEW YORK. August SI-Growth
in neighborly interchanges among the
peoples of the world is illustra ted. SAYS
the Trade Record of the National City
Bank, by the fact that the people of
the United States have sent to their
neighbors in Europe and Asia $50. .000-
600 for the purchase of beads during
the last five years. This big total of
$50 900 900 worth of beads brought into
great manufacturing country in a
short five-year period becomes a more
striking evidence of the growth in in
terchanges of articles of everyday life
when we contrast the figures of the
recent period with those of earlier
years, for the average importation of
! beads seldom reached as much as ST.
100000 a year prior to 1910, when it
permanently crossed the 81 600, 900
line. advancing to nearly $4,000, 900 in
1912, S6,000.000 in 1919, S12. 500 900 in
| 1920, and over S11 900 900 in 1924. and
as above indicated has averaged s10,-
100000 a year in the five years ended
with 1924
The beads came chiefly from Europe
and Asia. Among the European coun-
tries the chief contributors are Czecho-
slovakia, France, Germany, Spain and
Italy, and in Asia. Japan and China.
From Czechoslovakia the imports of
beads and articles. of which the chief
value is beads aggregated over So
000,000 in 1924, from France nearly
81 900. 900, Germany approximately
81 500. 900. while those from Japan ag-
/ gregated about 81 500. 600
! The import price of beads drawn
] from France averaged about 1914 per
pound. from Japan S1.30, and from
| China about s2.35 per pound, Czecho-
slovakia so cents and Italy so cents
{ per pound. Beads from Czechoslova-
kia formed about two-thirds of the to-
, tai imports of 1924, standing at 6,591.-
600 pounds out of a total of slightly
more than 10000 900 pounds imported.

FERTILIZER BUSINESS
ON FAR BETTER BASIS

NEW YORK, August 81 O0.-Net
profit of the American Agricultural
Co. for the year ended June 80 totaled
S2.045.S15, a striking gain over the
preceding year, when profits were
only S112.4 .463. General Improvement
in agricultural conditions, particularly
noticeable in the cotton belts of the
South, contributed to the company's
recovery, says Robert 5. Bradley,
chairman of the board. Many of the
unsound business methods which had
crept into the fertilizer industry in
the period of that abnormal condition,
he explains, were eliminated during
the year.

oispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 31.-The stock
market began the week under much
the same conditions as have prevailed
for the last month or more. Opinions
were a good deal mixed over the i'm
mediate outlook. One set of observers
continued to dwell upon the eXcep-
tionallly easy money position at this
season of the year. and upon the
record breaking volume of industrial
production. Another set laid more
stress upon the situation within the
market itself, resulting from the
violent upbidding of industrial shares
throughout the Summer.
Sharp Fluctuations.
Sharp price fluctuations occurred in
stocks of the speciality class. Chrysler
fell over points, then rallied. Chi
cago Pneumatic Tool broke 3 points
and so did General Electric, then sup
port was encountered. United
Railrays Investment preferred on the
sudden throwing over of a block OF
stock in a poor market plunged down
more than s points. On the other
hand, Crucible Steel stood out con
spicuously strong despite the uncer
tain movement of the rest of the stee1
group, and there was a demand for
Macy & Co. stock at a rise of over
a point
Following the heavy selling at Sat
urday's close a block of 10, 900 shares
of Radio Corporation was taking at SO,
after which the stock rallied some
three points. The generally accepted
explanation was that some insecure
holdings were being taken over by
people who believed that the radio
business was in for a period of more
activity.
Railway Signal Higher.
There was a spectacular rise in Gen
eral Railway Signal and also in the
old Kresge stock, both of which were
quoted at new highs. Other new
highs included General Outdoor Ad
vertising. Foundation Company, Ma
tional Dairy Products, Brown Shoe
Atlantic Gulf and West Indies pre-
ferred and Philip Morris. Among the
rails new records were set up for
Gulf. Mobile and Northern preferred
and for Colorado and Southern.
Motor shares did sbetter than most
other groups. General Motors ran into
liberal sustaining orders, when it
dropped a half point, to IS. and later
on rallied Dupont was Sympatheti
cally strong. The features, however
were Packard Motor, which was VI
turnover, and Moon Motor, in which
there was quite a revival of interest
st. Louis-San Francisco was bought
on reports that the stock would be
put on a 81 basis at Wednesday
meeting. st. Louis is-Southwestern was
also strong.
Stock Reaches New Top.
The buying in National Dairy
Products, which made its best prices
for the year, was based upon the con
tinued expansion in the company
business. In the six months ended
June 20 the consolidated net income
of National Dairy Products and its
subsidiaries equaled S3.06 a share
This amount covered 329.SS3 shares
outstanding, as against 270,000 in 1924
when the first six months net was
$2.74.
The announcement that in the week
ended August 20 output of Califor
MIA Crude Oil has declined Z 800 bar
rels daily on the average as compared
with the week before had no direct
effect upon the shares of California
producing companies.
