GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Nov. %. H0-Better export
bids at the Gulf of Mexico helped toI
give an upturn to wheat prices today
at the last Crop damage reports from
Argentina were also current and there
was 1,06S, 900 bushels falling off in the
domestic wheat visible supply total
Closing quotations on wheat were
strong, one to two cents net higher,
with corn * to B cent off, oats %
cent to one cent down and provisions
unchanged to setback of 81 cents.
Previous sellers of wheat became ac-
tive buyers during the late transac-
tions. Notwithstanding that early the
market had averaged lower, values ad-
,vanced rapidly near the finish and the
close was at the days top level, De-
cember wheat gaining on May. In
some quarters talk was current that
December liquidation is over and that
congress may soon adopt measures
likely to bolster UP prices. Meanwhile
late reports from Argentina said that
from Pico to Tejedor in Buenos Aires
province the wheat crop has ripened
prematurely and may yield but nine
bushels an acre.
AnOIn6r OlSpdlci, udtSu ShASoh' -
gentina, said an inspection trip COW
ering 800 miles showed that frost had
damaged the wheat crop quite seriously
and that the quality as we'll as the
yield would be poor. Attention also
was directed to fears of damage IN
Cordoba, Argentina. On the other
hand, a good deal of attention was
given early to a Buenos Aires dispatch
from a Chicago crop expert indicating
tha tthe north half of the Argentine
wheat belt promises to yield 6O,OOO,O0o
bushels more than last year.
II Selling of corn against buying of
wheat tended to depress the corn mar
ket. Besides, the corn visibl supply
increased $4,000 bushels, an amount
less than expected, but lifting the to-
tai to SO,1O3,OOO bushels, compared
with 1,512,000 bushels last year. oats
followed corn.
, Provisions lacked support, despite
steadiness of the hog market.

TAMPICo, Nov. % Especial to the
Dispatch)- strike of electricians
and street car employees here threatens
to develop into general strike un-
less a settlement is reached promptly.
Several unions, including those of
employees of several large petroleum
refineries have passed resolutions sup
porting the strike and endorsing a
general walkout Unnecessary.
The company holds that the strike
is illegal ais it was called at time
when a writ of injunction against tho
board of conci1iation and arbitration
was in effect. Final action on the
writ was favorable in part to the
company, in that it is the duty OF
the authorities rather than the en-
ployes themselves to enforce the
findings of the arbitration board.

TNDUSTRIALS IN

MARK TUESDAY
(By The Associated Press)
,ol~ ,,oar rlyat avara0ac.
Total stock sales, 1,2I5.SOO shares.

NEW YORK, Nov p. lP1-High pric-
ed Industrial shares led to an, upward
movement in today's market although
trading was largely professional in
character. The buyin in several
groups, particularly sugars, textiles,
tobaccos and chemicals. appeared to be
a reflection of improves trade condi-
tions, but in few issues the rapid
marking up of quotations suggested a
drive against an overcrowded short in
terest sales were only moderate in
volume.
There was no change in rates on
call or time money or commercial pa
per, with plenty of funds available at
the renewal rate of Az per cent. The
weekly statement of brokers loans
issued by the New York federal reserve
bank showed an incrase of slightly
more than $6,0OO 000 Cotton futures
broke 81 to $3.50 a bale, following the
publication of the latest government
report indicating crop of 1S,S99,O0O
bales, new high record, but there
was good trade buying on the decline
and the early losses were recovered.
Raw sugar futures were marked UP to
a
further reflection of the recent re-
striction of the Cuban crop.
Active wheat futures rallied one to
two cents bushel and a sharp recov-
cry also was staged by coffee futures.
Baldwin was run up over four points
to 15015, the highest price in over five
years, during the morning, but lost
practically all its gain on selling pre-
sumably inspired by another official
denial by President Vauclain that the
company,s Philadelphia real estate had
been sold. u. S. Steel common was one
of the most active issues on the board
crossing 148 for net gain of S3s
points on the day. General Motors
also was actively traded in, closing
1as higher at 139.
Nearly a score Issues attained new
peak prices for the year, the list in
mercial Solvents tsB", Consolidated Ci-
gar, Consolidated Textile. Eureka Va
cuum Cleaner, Federal Light & Trac-
tion, Philadelphia Company and Uni
versal Pipe preferred. Renewal Of
selling pressure against Electric Re-
frigeration, which was associated with
the recent announcement of new
bond issue, forced that stock down
over four points to another new 1926
low at 34%. Railroad shares, with
few exceptions, failed to participate
in the advance, speculative enthusiasm
for these issues being chilled tempo
rarily by the unexpected decline in the
net operating income of the Kansas
CITY Southern railroad, the first to re-
port for that month Atlantic Coast
Line recovered half of an early loss of
two points on selling inspired by an
nounoement of new stock financing,

One of those glimpses came to me
the other day. l went to Blanding

never seen an exhibition Of marion
cites. l knew that they were jointcd
puppets manipulated by some person
and had thought of them as bizarre
toys.
Blanding Sloan's theatcr is in Q
shack on the top of hill. The stage
lies at the end of the large room
which was formerly the living room
1t was dark when we entered and
the room was filled with the eager
rustic and chirping of children. We
found seats at the extreme end oppO,

in the conventional manner across
the end of the room. The curtained
aperture seemed somewhat smaller
than the usual little theater" stage
roughly about 10xS feet. l was
too much interested in the children
to speculate much on such irrelevant
details.
The curtain swung apart to n de-
lightful chorus of squeals and the
show began. A little person was
speaking, or that which seemed q
person. Obviously it was a jolly
grotesque mannikin of almost life
size, but so varied and clever was
the movement that it was actually
endowed with human personality.

DEAR MRS. BEECkMAN:
My sister-in-law is to be married
soon, and it will be an informal we'd
ding. She has no one but brother
in her family, SO will it be proper Tor
him TO walk to church with her? o.
will it be better to have girl friend:

Yes. it would be the best thing and
the correct thing for her to have her
brother accompany her 10 the church
for her marriage. In fact, the bride
is always supposed to 60 to the church
with the one who IS TO present her
in marriage-her father. if he is liv.
ing. or as in the case of your sister-in-
law, her brother, or other male rela-
tive.
