GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Dec. 27-P)-Helped by
a decrease in the United States visible
supply total, wheat prices took an up
ward swing today Closing quotations
on wheat were firm, " to % cent net
higher. with corn unchanged to 5s cent
off, oats at s cent decline to n cent
20 cents down.
Almost from the outset, wheat trad
ers acted on correct belief that fall
ing off would be shown by the domes-
tic supply figures today. Most traders,
however, expected that the wheat de-
crease would be larger than proved to
be the case. This fact, together with
a big increase in the corn visible sup
ply, tended somewhat to make the
wheat market as we'll as the corn re-
act in the late dealings. Besides, de-
liveries of wheat today on December
contracts finally reached a good sized
amount, 900 bushels.
Month-end and year-end adjustment
of accounts led to enough buying of
December wheat today to lift the De-
cember price here to a premium over
May at times, whereas on Friday last
the December. quotation showed one
cent bushel discount. Meanwhile,
Winnipeg messages today told of fair
buying of futures there on the part of
the export houses. North American
exports for the last week, too, showed
an increase both over the previous
week and year ago. Thus an out
standing question continued to be as
to whether or not wheat from Argen-
tina and Australia moving to Europe
would yet force a lower level of prices.
Something of setback .on corn val
ues took place in connection with an
nouncement of 1,S26,OOO bushels in
crease in the corn visible supply. Of
ferings of oats lacked volume.
Provisions We're responsive to up
turns in the price of hogs.

The Copper Exporters, Inc, are fac
ing a difficult diplomatical problem
in Keeping European consumers in line
and satisfied. Foreign deliveries dur
ing the past year have fallen off 6S,-
533 tons from the figures of 1925 and
this amount has not been made up by
increases in domestic consumption
There has been a tendency on the
part of the United States copper mines
to increase production slightly. The
average monthly production for 1926
shows 72,764 tons as against 70,176
tons average during 1925. The higher
average for 1926 can be largely at
tributed to the three high months of
March, 75,72S tons, October 1909 tons
and November 1920 tons. The Novem-
Der production showed the highest
daily average since the war, 2,5O8 tons

Weekly Copper ReUiew
BY CHARLES f. WILLIS
Editor, The Mining Journal
Phoenix, ArizOna

Quietness prevailed in the metal
market during the week before Christ
mas, with no material changes in price
or in the strength of the prices as they
stood Copper sales. continued in fair
volume the activity of the former two
weeks with some Improvement in for
eign sales
Copper is showing a slightly better
price for future delivery, March sales,
for instance, being handled at about
an eighth cent advance over the pres
ent market, but there is no indication
that the spring months will bring any
thing material in the way Of price adj
yances in copper.
According to some students of the
silver situation, the recent decline in
the price of silver is not wholly due to
the recommendations of the Ind(jn
Currency commission. The movement
of prices downward has been heavily
influenced by sales on account of China
where speculation in the metal has
been in progress. The political and
economic unsettlements in China have
initiated against an orderly consump-
tion of silver, despite the fact that
China has been a strong supporter of
the market for more than year. I'm
favorable economic conditions in Eu-
rope have demoralized European cur
rency and also contributed to the de-
cline.
Silver has not alone declined in price
but has also been steadily dropping in
monthly average production in the
CtAo Il,
ounces as against 5,115,OOO ounces in
1925, 1852, 900 ounces in 1924, and 81
$4,000 ounces in 1928.
1t seems certain that we expect some
falling off of domestic copper con-
sumption Construction 9 ont r ct s
awarded in November showed a total
of $4S7,O12,5OO, a drop of 6 per cent
from October business. While this is
considerable drop, it still shows very
good business even though a further
decline may come.
Lead also is feeling the reaction of
slower United States business in addi-
ton to it's relation to the silver slump.
The stocks of refined lead now stand
at 25,O23 tons, which is a gain of about
10000 tons in the last two months.
This is in spite of the fact that crude
production of lead has taken consid-
cradle drop in the past month.
The monthly average production of
lead during 1926 shows 68,054 for the
United States and Mexico as against
G4,322 tons during 1925 and 59,501 tons
during 1924.
France and Italy are reported to be
almost out of the foreign market for
copper, coming as result of effort to
stabilize their currency and, upon the
completion of that work, they should
be back into the market heavily. Fur
thermore, this work will complete the
currency stabilization for the major
European countries.
Germany Great Britain and Belgium
are partly making up for the losses in
foreign shipments to France and Italy,
although there exists some resentment
over the fact that European buyers of
copper are paying more than the New
York price for the metal and they are
slow in placing orders and will prob

PARSONS, HARTFORD

Betty Bowman, the elfin jazz pian'- ist in Al Jolson's Big Boy" com ing to Parsons next week. was born in Rocky Ford, Col, the home of the famous cantaloupe which bears that name. Her father was a farmer and cultivated a 160 acre tract.
 The family moved to Denver later and Betty went to school there. While her girl friends were playing with dolls or running to the movies, Betty practiced on the worries. When she was 9 years old her parents gave her a baby grand for Christ mas and, as she grew up, her school beaux learned to bring her sheet music instead of bonbons and now- CTS.
 She made her stage debut with summer stock company at Elitch's Gardens. which is Denver institu- ton. The next year she was dis covered by Paul Whiteman, the jazz conductor, who was home on a visit. His recommendation gained her an entry into vaudeville and she made a tour which included California. Oregon and Washington.
 The seat sale for Mir. Jolson's en- gagement will open tomorrow. Posi- lively no telephone orders will be taken.

Hartford Legion Hires
 Eddv-GlOVer Band

Commander Arthur Petts of Ed dy-Glover Post, American Legion. announced today that the Raul Locke Post of Hartford has hired Eddy-Glover Post band to lead the ex-servicemen' division in the parade next Sunday in the Capital City. The Hartford Legionnaires believe that many of both cities served in the o6th division and that it would be only proper to have the local boys share the hon. ors with them when the memorial tablets are presented to the city to place on the trees. State Command CT Harry c. Jackson said today that New Britain was so closely intertwined with Hartford in the service that the latter's war heroes were almost as well known here as in their native city. He was es- pecially loud in his praise of Hart ford for thinking of New Britain when it came to honoring the war dead, and he believed that every body should turn out to return Hartfords compliment.
