CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, November % R.-In-
fuenced by bearish crop estimate
from Argentina, wheat values under
went an early sag today. According
to a Chicago expert at Buenos Aires,
the 1927 Argentine yield of wheat
promises to total 231 100000 bushels.
Opening h to " cent off, the Chicago
wheat market held to near initial fig
ures. Corn showed relative firmEess,
starting at Il cent decline to u cent
advance and later gaining little all
around. Oats were easy. Provisions
also tended to recede.
Inasmuch as the majority OF recent
forecasts Of wheat production in Ar
gentina this season have been around
220,0 900 bushels. new estimate to-
day Of II ,0o0, 900 bushels more in pros
pect was given considerable attention
here as a bear factor. There was an
absence Of any aggressive selling from
outside sources, however, and price
declines did not make much immedi-
ate headway:
Wet weather prevailing in corn.belt
territory furnished strength at times
TO the corn market today. Numerous
complaints were received that corn Is
molding in the crib and that husking
at various places has been brought to
q standstill.

NEW YORK, November 2S.-Outside
considerations which were responsible
for the upturn in the curb market
last week continued to have their Ell
feet today. namely, expectations or a
prosperous final quarter for many
companies. prospects OF continued
prosperity early in 1928, and indica-
tions of an abundant supply OF funds
for speculative purposes.
The outstanding coincident OF the
entire proceedings was the spectacular
rise in Ford Motor of Canada. Fol.
lowing the 24-point advance last week.
the price was carried up more than
80 points, crossing 624. Its activity
and strength was coincident with the
latest Ford announcement concerning
the new car and the orders already
received by dealers. despite the fact
that prices for the new models have
not yet been announced. 1nasmuch as
this is the only Ford issue, its strength
was taken to forecast favorable pub
lie reception of the new Ford line
when il is placed on formal display
late this week.
Several Other Advances.
Firestone Tire had to absorb realiz
ing sales. following last weeks rise.
but il did so with little difficulty and
subsequently rallied to its highest.
e. & G. Spring and Bumper estab-
lished a new 1922 top. crossing 12t2
and Aluminium Co. of America gained
another points or so before the de-
mand SubSided. In each instance il
was prospects of increased business.
much of it expected as result of
resumption of Ford activity. that ac-
counted for the demand.
Newly listed securities which have
made their debut on the Curb Mar
ket Immediately following their offer
ing for public subscription were
smong the favorites, although the ex-
tent Of their advance over subscrip.
ton prices was coming in for good
deal of severe criticism. One of these
was General Bronze common, offered
last week at 90 for limited amount
Of stock. 1t was selling at a premium
of IL points today.
Much Manipulation Seen.
Crowley Miner common reached
new top and Hershey common was
another. Although subscriptions to
new issues have in most instances
been reported as greatly exceeding
amounts offered and much of the de-
mand in the open market has been
due to limited allotments. those back

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Losing Interest on Liberties.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

On November 15 last interest on the
second Liberty loan stopped. The Gov
ernment had called for payment all
the outstanding bonds Of this issue on
that date. Notwithstanding this fact,
there are still many bonds which have
not been turned in for redemption.
Mostly they belong to small investors
who bought them in war time and VINO
have failed so far to see the ofnclal
announcement regarding the redemp-
ton.
Many bond owners probably believe
because coupons are still attached to
their bonds that they will be able to
cash these every six months in the
future as they have done in the past.
That, of course. is an error. 1t may
be asked why the United States Treas.
ury did not notify each bondholder
personally. That would have prevent
ed any loss of interest to the 1ndi-
vidual, but a moments renection
shows that 1t would have been impos-
sible. The Government has no lst OF
the holders of coupon bonds.
IL YOUR bond was registered, you
did receive an official notice that 1t
has been called, for in that case the
Treasury had your name and ADDRESS.
A coupon bond, however, changes
ownership by delivery. In that respect
it is the same as cash, and most LID
erty bonds have travelled about from
one owner to another many, many
times. It will be months. possibly
years, before all Of these second Lib
erty bonds finally turn up at Wash
ington to be redeemed. The holders
will have lost interest on their money
meantime, but there seems no way to
prevent it.
1t is the same with other bonds. Un'
less the bondholder happens to see the
notice of redemption, he will not find
out about it until he tries to cash the
next coupon at the bank. In that
event he will lose six months interest
but nothing more. In every case the
principal will be paid on presentation
of the bond, whether the call date is
Dast or not.
When say that some Of the second
liberty loan bonds will be outstanding
Cor years, 1 have in mind chiefly those
careless investors who do not bother
even to cash their coupons regularly
Then. too, some bonds will have beer
lost by being misplaced or having beer
accidently destroyed. There is alway:
a proportion of these cases. The
moral of it all is that investments
even in Government bonds, require &
certain amount of intelligent attention

TWENTY-FIVE puts for the 1S-hole
journey is shooting golf on any course.
That's exactly what Dave Findlay
scored in a round at the California
C. c. four seasons back. From which
we may judge that Dave is some put
ter. The ode part about the story is
that Findlay taps his puts. He doesn' [
stroke 'em like Hagen, Jones and the
big boys. But he does get them in the
cup and his theory has lot of sense
to it.
He's been tapping puts some 40
years, ever since as boy in Montrose,
Scotland, his daddy wanted to whip
him mot at golf for doing so. That
tapping of puts was rank heresy but
tion and has kept at it. His theory is
this:
If you stroke a putt the trouble is
that unless the follow through is per-
fectly on line the ball will curve off
line near the end of its run. (That
must be the reason we miss so many
in just that way. At least it's a good
alibi) But If you tap them, that is.
let the club face strike the ball and
then stop, if the aim is accurate (and
there is no reason why the aim should
not be as accurate for tapping as for
stroking), they go straight for the hole
without any slice or hook spin. In
fact, the sole spin impaired is a sort
of draw that makes them drop quickly
All of which may be bit revolution
ary, yet we see many players tap puts
that are foot or less--golfers who
stroke them when longer.
