South American
Wheat Shipments
Cause New Slump

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec II (AP)-
Assertions that 65 million bushels
more wheat than last year is COM
ing from south of the equator tends
to pull wheat prices downward to-
day. Closing quotations were un-
settled at the same as yesterdays
finish to- 7s cent down, with corn
showing Is to u cent gain, oats
varying from a cent decline to Il
cent advance and provisions un-
changed to twenty cents down.
Excellent harvest weather pre-
vailing in Argentina gave empha-
sis to bearish aspects to crop re-
ports from the southern hemis-
phere. Optimistic unofficial adj
vices were at hand that yields IN
central and southern Argentina
promised to surpass expectations
and that large crop would be
harvested in southern Argentina if
the weather continues favorable.
Meanwhile the Argentine govern
ment crop reports indicated 24,400,-
600 bushels larger exportable sur
plus than last year. Figures on
the Australian surplus were also
much larger.
Inactivity of export demand to-
day for wheat from North America
put friends of higher prices at a
further disadvantage, with talk cur
rent that Argentina and Russia
were both pressing sales abroad.
However, in the late dealings here,
the market displayed some pow
er to rally, strength Of corn val
ueS acting as more or less OF a
stimulus. 1t was noticed also that
domestic cash wheat at the chief
terminal centers was displaying
firm tone, especially in the south
west and that wheat appeared to
be wanted by mills.
Some of the larger SPECTATORS
here became buyers of corn on an
early decline. With surplus offer
ings quickly absorbed, sharp ad
vance ensued. Oats were govern
ed by corn.
Provisions reflected a downward
trend in the hog market.

WARRANT OFFICERS
PAY BILL HEARING
Senator Norbeck Measure Up Tues
day to Readjust Status of
Naval Men.

Commissioned warrant officers of
the Navy will he granted a hearing
by the Senate naval affairs commit
tee Tuesday morning on the bill intro
duced by Senator Norbeck for read
justment of their pay status. The
hearing was originally set for last
Friday, but owing to the untimely
death of Chief Pharmacist of the
Navy Kenneth M. Smith, it was post
poned to the later date.
The bill to come under consideration
provides for a restoration of the pay
status held by the commissioned
warrant officers previous to the pas
sage of the 1922 joint service pay act.
This latter measure contained
clause which took away a portion of
their pay which they had hitherto
received for longevity service. 1t
also prevented these officers from
entering the fourth period of pay,
which previously they had. under
law passed In 1916, enjoyed with en-
signs and lieutenants.
The 1922 pay act was intended to
raise the pay of all officers or the
Army and Navy on an average of 40
per cent. This result was accom-
plished in all grades and classifications
excepting in the case of the warrant
officers, SO these officers contend.
The clause which took away the
pay status formerly held with the
ensigns and lieutenants reacted to
such an extent as to virtually hold
them down to the same old salaries.
while every other officer in the serv-
ices was granted an approximate in
crease of 40 per cent. This is the
condition which the Norbeck bill seeks
to correct and relief from which
the commissioned warrant officers
hone Congress will grant through the
passage of the Norbeck bill.
