Chicago Produce Market
(By the Associated Press)


Chicago. March 10.
With corn sliding down today to a
new low price record for the season
and with wheat shipments from Me-
braska to Chicago threatening to break
up any shortage of wheat here for de-
livery on May contracts. the wheat
market today underwent a collapse of
nearly seven cents bushel. Wheat
and corn both finished wild. wheat ~
1893 to 1893 and July 1889 to 1894.
corn % to 3sc down. oats 1c to 13c off
and provisions varying from unchang-
ed to setback of % cents.
Throughout the entire grain list the
closing prices were without exception
at the days lowest level Wheat suf-
fered it's worst break in the final hour
of trading after unusual shakiness had
been evident for some time in the corn
market, a condition largely due to
word going around that no explanation
to help producers appeared likely of
enactment. Coupled with the depres-
sion of corn values, however. and with
reports of prospective influx of
wheat here from Omaha were glowing
advices of crop conditions for wheat in
the southwest. Under such circum-
stances the relative steadiness OF the
wheat market disappeared as the day
neared an end. Heavy selling of all
future deliveries of wheat here set in.
and prices rapidly gave way until the
closing gongs cleared the crowds out
of the pits.
Sudden virtual stoppage Of export
business had considerable effect as a
contributory depressing influence in
the wheat market. In contrast with
European buying of North American
wheat yesterday estimated at 1000. 900
to 100000 bushels the only purchase
for transatlantic shipment confirmed
today was 100000 bushels of durum.
Weakness of Liverpool quotations to-
day tended further to make holders
here nervous. Meanwhile, news of
beneficial rains in the domestic winter
crop belt acted as further stimulus
to sellings some authorities asserted
the crop conditions in earliest produc-
ing states, Kansas in particular, were
now nearly ideal.
Selling of corn assumed broad pro-
portions a good deal earlier than was
the case in wheat. Aside from dis
couragement over the legislative out
look the corn market was influenced
by the fact that receipts of corn in
Chicago today-232 cars-were more
than double the volume of year ago.
Besides, eastern slipping demand here

making conditions more complicated
than they should be. Everyone is De-
ginner sometime. and the experienced
motorist should bear in mind that the
more assistance he gives to the new
conner the sooner the latter Will cease
being a menace.
If the seasoned motorist will do
everything in his power to keep his
driving above reproach 1t Is foregone
conclusion that the new drivers Will
be impressed with their shortcomings
and therefore make every attempt to
make the grade.
A lot Of beginners have come to
think that, it's quite all right to cut
corners, speed in the city, pass stand
ing street cars and fail to horn at
crossings just because they see that
people more experienced are doing
these very things. 1t is direct cause
Of automobile and pedestrian accidents
and evidence a plenty that safety edu-
cation of the practical sort must be
initiated by those who are naturally
regarded as examples.

TERRIFIC BATTLE
CONTINUED from Page Ons)


Someone found a few onions. but
they were Of little comfort"
The RS-1 headed into the wind
and, keeping as near Scott field as
possible, worked away from the
center of the storm disturbance. The
wind was coming from the north
west and the ship was plunging
wildly. far more violently than the
Shenandoah in her forced flight"
In the meantime the radio officer
was having his troubles. It was one
Of the nights that the international
radio tests were being conducted and
Lieutenant Salsman, hoped to COM
municate with the station during the
silent period. In the first attempt,
however, he picked UP the broad
cast of Wednesday evening prayer
meeting and could not get rid of
the interference. Later, however,
he got in touch with the field.
"At 1.3 O'Clock in the morning we
were some A miles from Scott Field
and making no Roadway against the
gale. At 2 o'clock, however, we be-
gan to move forward. BY that time
the temperature in the control cabin
was IL degrees above zero. We were
all suffering from thirst and hum
ger and every man was weary.
1T was o'clock and still very
dark when Lieutenant Anderson
brought the RS-1 over Scott Field
again, but the wind was still too
strong to land. While we were
waiting Lieutenant Salesman request
ed by radio that water be brought
on the field for our relief as soon as
we landed. At 6 o'clock the station
sent a message that conditions were
favorable for landing.
After circling several times Lieu
tenant Anderson brought the RS-1
to the ground in the full glare of
the stations big searchlights. e. De-
spite the terrific strain to which the
ship had been subjected she was I'M
damaged except for the two broken
struts"
