GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, April 16 lP.-Snappy rail-
lies at the last in all grain today offset
early downturns that carried May and
July corn below the seasons previous
bottom level. Export buying of wheat
and rye, together with uneasiness over
advices Of too much rain southwest and
northwest alike were late bullish fac
tors. Wheat closed unsettled at the
same as Thursdays finish to h@A
cent higher; corn at u cent decline to
5s cent advance; oats Is to 3s cent up,
decline to an equal gain.
Surprise was expressed that not
withstanding holidays abroad export
purchasing of North American wheat
totaled 100000 bushels in addition to
shipment to Europe. Furthermore,
traders in future deliveries of wheat
leaned decidedly to the buying side
during the final half hour owing to
increased reports of rank growth of
winter wheat and of delay to spring
wheat seeding. Special notice, too, was
taken of the fact that a house which
had been conspicuous for weeks on the
bear side had changed position.
Helping to rally the entire grain
market were indications that oversold
relatively few standing orders to un-
load holdings and thus stop losses at
fixed limits appeared to be forthcom
ing Earlier the wheat market espe-
cially had been depressed by corn

FARM PRODUCTS.
PRICES VARIABLE
SAYSU.S. REPORT

WASHINGTON April IA. i(P)-Fluc-
tuation in the index Of farm prices
during the next month or two will
continue to be influenced largely by
seasonally lower dairy and poultry
products prices and possible higher
cotton prices, the department of ag-
ricuiture predicted today.
Unless growing conditions change
materially in the next month or two,"
the department. said, "the prospects
for wheat prices is a continuance of
the present stability at about the
present level
Although the visible supply of
corn began to decrease toward the
end of March, it is still the largest
on record for this time of year, MAX
ing it unlikely that there will be any
advance in the present low price of
corn until the supplies at terminal
markets are further reduced.
although the strength of the cat
tie market and low price of corn
viii undoubtedly encourage further
feeding operations during the next
six months present Indications point
to moderate supplies of fed cattle and
a continuing strong market during the
balance of the year. No such unusual
temporary price advance in lamb
prices as took place early in June
last year now seem probable.
IF the present weakness in the
foreign market continues and cheap
cottonseed oil continues to depress
the lard market, hog prices are not
expected to average as high as last
year, nor to reach as high peaks
either in the spring or fall.
1.-The outlook for cotton and cotton
manufacture continues encouraging.
Domestic mill activity is good. Pros
poets abroad on the whole also point
TO continuation of high mill ac-
tivity.
"The domestic wool market has been
dull, with buying proceeding from a
hand to- mouth basis, but the down
ward tendency of wool prices in the
United States has been checked by
rising prices abroad. Clips during
the 1926-27 season in the principal
producing. countries are being readily
disposed of and stocks are lower
than at hits time last year."

were given their freedom.
The Junction City races are run
on a burlap enclosed field, 1900
feet long by 700 feet wide. At the
starting end are pens for the dogs
and rabbits, while at the far end are
the escapes, small openings fringed
with cornstalks or brush. These
holes are large enough to admit a
rabbit travelling full speed, but
small enough &o keep out the pur-
suing greyhound.
The greyhoundsl are paired. The
rabbit is given an 8O-yard lead
down the course before the dogs
are released. The greyhounds are
graded according to their perform
ance. Gaining a dogs length on a
rival counts racer one, two or
three points, according to the num-
Der of lengths the faster dog is
ahead of the other. Each turn"
of the rabbit counts point. The
dogs winning the preliminary round
are matched for the second event,
the eliminations continuing until
only two dogs survive for the final
race.
Purses of $4,000 will be award
ed at the spring meet.
The three major events are: The
National Spring Futurity, the Sap
ling Stake and the Waterloo Stake.
The dog races bring fanciers
from all parts of the country and
large sums are reported to have
changed hands as the result of a
single race.

More tourists have dropped into

Doubleday said. He attributes the
increased Inquiries to advertising.
"The advertising we have carried
in magazines undoubtedly has caused
most of the increased Inquiries the
secretary said This advertising
also has caused us to be put on the
routes mapped out by perhaps 100
OF the large tourist bureaus all over

many Of the tourists who have stop
ped here this spring have heard of

The supply Of literature for this

quests for it, Doubleday said He is
confident that 100000 Douglas book
lets could be distributed to persons
wishing to learn of Douglas. Only
25,0O0 of the booklets are available.
