NOW FRENCH CLAIM
MORE INVENTIONS

PARIS H9-Every now and then the
French decide they have been giving
foreigners credit for inventions which
they ought to claim for their own
country The other day it was argued
that a Frenchman invented the pho
nograph before Edison And now the
sewing machine and the fountain pen
generally regarded as American boons
to modern life, are claimed as French
ideas.
The sewing machine, it is asserted,
was invented about 1850 by a Paris
matchmaker named Mallat The toun-
tain pen, generally thought a very
modern thing, was invented in the
time Of Louis XIV, according to the
newspaper Comoedia.
The sewing machine, it is asserted,
pen, so the story goes, consisted of the
ordinary quill with a corkscrew-hke
pipe inside, the ink flowing SO slowly
that it was necessary to shake the pen
every few words.

GRAIN MARKET

N CHICAGO, Dec. lS P-Stimulated
by an unexpected advance of wheat
prices In Argentina and by the evil
dence OF better European demand,
grain values here scored a general up
turn today. Chicago closing quota
tions on wheat were unsettled, but 3s
cent to Is cent net higher. Corn fin
lshed at q to Is cent to cent ad-
vance, with oats showing X cent To
IA cents gain, and provisions un-
changed to 15-17 cents down.
Increased export interest in wheat
became apparent among wheat trad
erS following an overnight jump of
cent a bushel, at Buenos Aires. Sur
prise was general over the unlocked
for action of the Buenos Aires market,
this being the time when newly har-
vested wheat in Argentina should as
rule be seeking an outlet and values
therefore declining. Almost simultan-
eouS announcement from Winnipeg
that no more grain boats would leave
Canadian lake ports this season was
also regarded here as a bullish lnflu-
ence, an idea prevailing that European
demand would thus be centered more
on United States wheat and on sup
plies from Argentina.
Subsequent adviceS were to the ef-
feet that liberal export dealings in
wheat from North America were i'm
minent. There was also messages at
hand that Europe was taking Cana
dian wheat by way of the, Pacific coast
and that the trading basis. for the At
lantic was firm Incidentally talk was
current that not much wheat would
be likely to move from Canadian farms
at present, with temperatures well be-
low the zero mark.
Corn prices were affected by know
ledge that there had been no increase
of consequence in offerings to arrive
from the country. Besides, Illinois
points were advising that feeders are
taking corn as fast as it is offered.
There were also reports of good de-
mand for corn throughout Europe and
that corn clearingS have been made
from the United States for Germany,
Belgium and Holland. In oats trad
ing today, the strong statistical posi-
ton appeared to be the main influence.
Provisions were weak, sympathizing
with 10 cents to 25 cents decline in
hog values.

REACTION
COMES In WAKE
!. OF SPECULATION

! NEW YORK, Dec. 10 P--Stock
prices were largely reaotionary this
week after excited speculation and ag-
gressive pool operations of the pre-
ceding month A brisk recovery to-
wards the, close of the week was check
ed by the unexpected federal court de-
cfsion in ST. Louis against the st. Louis
and O'Fallon railroad ip the test case
in proceedings under the "recapture
clause" of thes transportation act.
Early selling was in the nature of a
correction of a top-heayy speculative
position, 4 slbut it undoubtedly was in
fluenoed to a considerable extent by
the continued increase. in brokers'
loans, the heavy exports of gold and
the higher coupon rate on the U. S.
treaSury's financing, all suggestive OF
higher interest rates; by the unfavor-
able October railroad earnings state
ments and the disappointing reports
of steel mill Noerations. The Novem-
ber tonnage statement of the United
States Steel corporation, made public
after the close of the market today
showed an unexpectedly large increase
of 113,404 tons, tending to confirm re-
ports Of active inquiries for early 1928
delivery
Some apprehension also developed
over the political situation as a result
of President Coolidge's emphatic dec
laration that he was not candidate.
Many commission houses expressed the
belief that the uncertainty regarding
the candidates and the policies of the
two leading parties probably would
have retarding effect on business,
which would find reflection in securi-
ties values.
Sterling exchange rose to the high
est levels since, December, 1914, coin
cident with the first shipment of gold
to London, which, it developed later,
was for reshipment to Greece. Sew
eral large Withdrawals were made for
Poland, India, Holland and some OF
the South American republics.
Reactionary price tendencies also de-
velpped in the commodity markets.
Cotton lost So to $3.50 a bale despite
the fact that the final government eS-
innate of 12,789,O0O bales was about in
line with the trades expectations.
Wheat declined l to 11s cents bush
ell, with corresponding reductions in
other grains. Active coffee futures de-
clined 8 to % points Sugar quotations
held fairly steady.
