| CHICAGO, Dec. 20 (AP)-Grain
values see-sawed today within a
narrow range, traders being gen
orally disposed to await the United
States government crop report due
this afternoon. A reduction of
about 100000 bushels from the
preliminary estimate Of spring
wheat production was unforeseen
and in some quarters, moderate
increase of the winter wheat total
was enormously expected. To
ward the last, the wheat market
eased down after being somewhat
! firmer, most of the time earlier.
Closing quotations On wheat were
irregular, 3-8 cents net lower to
Quarter-cent advance with corn
3-S to SIS cents off, oats 3-8 to 5-8
cents up, and provisions unchang-
ed to a rise of As cents A majori-
ty of wheat traders expected that
the government report giving the
final estimate of the 1926 domestic
crop would show very little change
from the latest previous official
forecast. Easing down of wheat
values in the late dealings was
partly due to the fact that the
United States visible supply de-
crease announced today proved to
be less than had been looked for.
Besides, export demand for North
American wheat today lacked vol
umo, sales totaling only about $780,
900 bushels.
Firmness of Liverpool QUOTA
tions. together with announcement
that world shipments of wheat
were small as compared with a
week ago, tended to uphold the
Chicago wheat market during the
earlier dealings.
Furthermore, decrease was
shown in the amount Of wheat on
ocean passage to Great Britain.
Considerable notice at times was
taken too, assertions that the wheat
trade had been discounting south
ern hemisphere competition which
will not be real for another six
weeks or more. Whereas domestic
cash wheat prices are strong be-
cause Of notable high quality of
the United States crop this season.
Corn weakened on account of an
increase of the visible supply total
an dbecause of favorable weather
for the crop movements. Oats
touched new high price record
for the season. The government
report IS to cats and corn was eX-
pected to prove bulhsh, but the
opposite turned out to be- the case.
| Provisions reflected the upward
trend of hog values.

SENATORS URGE

OFFICE INQUIRY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 (AP)--
Spurred by reports that Comptrol-
Ter General McCarl had uncovered
irregularities in the administration
of alien property, movement got
under way today for. a senate in
ives iyation ofathe Custodian ST office.
The comptroller general has laid
his report before President Cool
idge, who has not made it public.
Senators who have knowledge OF
it's contents assert that it shows
a thorough inquiry is warranted.
On the other hand, Secretary
Mellon is authority for the state
ment that no evidence of dissipa-
ton of seized property was reveal
ed in the McCarl reports, methods
Of which he complained have been
abandoned by the present custo-
dian, and that no action is con-
templated by the administration as
result of the comptroller gen
erals findings.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 APP -
Heavy profit-taking resulted in the
stock market losing some of its
buoyancy today, but large num-
Der of stocks moved up sharply
and the. general undertone was
steady. Trading was again in large
volume with the increase in odd
lot" business generally accepted as
an indication of an expanding pub
lie interest.
While the selling movement was
natural after several days of
steadily rising prices, it probably
was accelerated by the heavy call
ing of loans, which sent the call
money rate up from five to five and
q half per cent. The weekly state
ment of brokers' loans, issued by
the New York Federal Resrve bank
after the close of the market
showed an increase of nearly $54,-
000, 900 in the week ended last We'd
nesday.
New Dividends Seen
The prospect of further melon
cutting" by such corporations as
Allied Chemical, Otis Elevator, AM
erican Smelling, United Drug, At
Gibson, Nwe York Central and
Baldwin, is generally believed to
be one Of the main forces behind
the current up-swing in prices.
The action of the United States
steel directors in directing a 40
per cent stock dividend is believed
to have paved the way for several
other distributions. particularly
those sponsored by the so-called
Morgan and Baker interests.
u. S. Steel common closed 1 SIS
lower at 157 IL while the new
stock, selling on a when issued
basis, which was transferred from
the Grub, sold between 116 7-8 and
ia 5-S, closing at the low figure.
General Motors, American Can,
American Smelling, Chrysler, Am
erican Car and Foundry, Dupont,
Mack Trucks, Nash, Pathe and
Westinghouse Airbrake all sold
down a point or more. Heaviness
of the baking shares probably was
accentuated by the announcement
ofa Senate inquiry into the alleged
bread trust"
In the railroad group, Atchison
touched a new record high at ITO
and then slipped back to 1853 IL.
Reading common and second pre-
ferred, Southern Pacific and Cana
dian Pacific eclipsed their previous
1926 top prices.
More Records Broken
Another flock of new high rec
ords was established in the indus
trial and speciality groups, the list
including Allied Chemical, Corn
Products, National Biscuit, East
man Kodak, United Drug, Inter
boro rapid Transit, Brooklyn-Man-
haitian Transit American Smelling
preferred and Warren Brothers,
the last named scoring an extreme
gain of over six points in an
nouncement of $75,00O,000 con-
tract with the Cuban government.
Heavy trading in Radio corpora
ton was associated with rumors
concerning the company's develop
ment of new talking motion pic
ture.

THE LOCAL NEWSPA PER

The local newspaper in the United
States is each year getting on a
irmer foundation and becoming more
and more useful to its home COM
munity.
1t is the home newspaper which
boosts the town, year in and year out,
which takes the lead in every enter
prise which has for its purpose the
upbuilding Of the community.
We frequently hear it said that the
old-time independent spirit of the
newspaper is gone, that its editorial
policy is now subservient to the bust
ness office. Yet this is not true
There is more unselfish idealism in
the average local newspaper than in
any other business enterprise. 1t
frequently speaks out in the way
which it believes will be for the good
of the nation and of the community
regardless of what the consequences
may be from business standpoint.
The local newspaper is the princi-
pal booster for the community, and
it does its boosting often without
hope of material reward. Unfor-
tunate is the community which neither
appreciates nor supports its local
newspapers.
