REVIEW OF The GRAIN MARKET

at Los Angeles at $3.50 per 100
pounds.
RYE prices advanced to a new high
on the crop. Unfavorable weather,
together with the small stocks and
an active demand were the strength
ening factors. Considerable rye was
moving from Minneapolis to Duluth
for Lake shipment later. Both future
ard cash prices advanced nearly &c
per bushel for the week at the prin-
cipal markets.
CORN planting made good progress
in the Great Plain States and this
work is now well along as far as
Northern Nebraska. While fair aG-
vance was reported in parts of the
interior valley States in most of these
the soil continued too wet for work
and progress of seeding. In many
lower Ohio Valley sections very lit
tie corn has been planted. These un-
favorable planting conditions, togeth-
er with the uncertainty of the amount
that will be planted, were the prin-
cipal causes of an advance of about
&c per bushel in corn prices during
the week. The higher prices brought
out larger offerings at the Central
Western markets but these were rap
idly taken and some further decrease
In market stocks was reported Buy
ing, however, became slightly less ac-
tive toward the close of the week at
the higher price level.
OATS: The oats market was firm
with other grains but price advances
were not so great The crop made
generally good progress although
growth was slow in the central nor
thern States and it continued too wet
IN some central valley districts. Har-
vesting of the new crop will become
general within the next week in Tex
as. No. 3 white oats were quoted at
the close of the week in the principal
markets at from SOC to 55c per bush
ell.
BARLEY: Receipts of barley in the
central western markets were not
equal to the urgent demand, particu-
larly for mailing grades, and prices
were advanced to the highest point
on the crop to date. The best types
sold as high as 91c per bushel at
milwaukee. Prices were also higher
on the Pacific coast, new barley of
mailing quality being contracted for
at San Francisco at 96c to S1.O3 per
bushel.
FLAX: The flax market was firm
with other grains but had no indie
pendent strength. Demand was not
active although sufficient to absorb
the limited receipts at Minneapolis
and Duluth. Prices were advanced
about 1 1ac with No. flax selling at
the close of the day at Minneapolis
at from &c under to 7c over the july
price, which closed May 27 at S2.3f.
Argentine seed for June shipment
was quoted at Buenos Aires at STA
80 and was being offered c. i. f. New
York at $1.95 compared with $500 be-
ing paid by English buyers c. i. f.
their ports. About $4,000 bushels
of Argentine seed were shipped to
the United States during the week
out of total shipments of 1,356,OOO
bushels.

covery of the oil nearly a year ago,
the former league leader explained
because of the fact that there had
been some difficulty in obtaining
leases which were very desirable. Had
the fact that the well had struck pay
been given out the land would have
been grabbed up by some one else.
There are now 10000 acres leased,
extending two miles each way from
the wells, Townley said.
Next Move Uncertain
People were getting restless and
wondering what was being done here
so / thought that it would be a
good thing to call you together and
have little celebration" Townley de-
clared. "What will be the next move
here will be determined largely by
the oil market which is down at the
present time as well as by the advice
of the fellows who went among you
and helped in this enterprise.
"We may start drilling this week
and perhaps it will be six months"
Mr.. Townley was introduced by Mr.
Patterson and the moment that he
stepped on the platform at the side
of the shed where the meetings had
been held more than a year ago, one
realized that he who had been such q
power among the people of the state
had lost none of his old time dynamic
force and influence.
With his old political air he com
mented that he could not tell who
was inside the fence, for the gate
had been taken down and at last all
we're welcome inside what was ir
reality, "the best fence ever built in
the state for inside its nine foot walls
much that will go down in history has
taken place"
Story Told.
To substantiate his story that il
had been sometime since they knew
oil had been discovered, he called H
c. Schumacher, Mr.. Patterson and R
2. Peterson tool driller to tell about
the event. Schumacher and Patterson
spoke of the night in May when they
were getting the Tollefson lease sign
ed and Peterson came to the office
with the story of gas odor coming
from the well. Immediately they or
dered the tools raised until everyone
was gone and they with Mcdonald
driller, watched the drill go into tht
well and come back dripping with oil
Peterson told of smelling the gas
carrying the information to the othel
men and of the drilling having stop
ped when they saw the oil in orde,
to obtain valuable leases near tn,
we'll He said Townley was righ
when he said the drill had never gon,
into the well since that night
Oil on Drill
| One of the tense moments of thu
afternoon was when the mass stoot
in front of the derrick watching tn,
cable unwind sending the drill to tn,
bottom. Townley stood on a pile O
pipes eager as a school boy and whel
the drill again came to the surface
invited the crowd to see the oil an,
to smell, and feel it on the drill
which hundreds did.
Eighteen hundred automobiles en-
tered the grounds starting at 80
o'clock in the morning and it was es
timated that there were nearly seve
thousand people on the grounds dur
ing the day. Late in the Afternoon
the leader met with the drivers of tn
cars who had gone out in the cam
paign for funds to put the thing owe
and discussed matters with them. Ac
cording to information later thes
men will meet to discuss more full,
further procedure at the well it wa
reported.

SHARKEY KNOCKS
AT TUNNEY'S DOOR

Occasionally there shoots across
the pugilistic skies a colorful fighter
who crashes his way to the top
and in this day and age collects many
clinking sheckles as he goes. They
do not appear often, but when they
do they hold the attentions of the
fans through the sheer spectacular
of their style. Usually each of these
new stars is but, in a manner, the
counterpart of some great ringman
who has gone before.
Dempsey reminded of Jeffries;
Tunney reminds of Corbett, etc., etc.
The new star now knocking at the

By the end of the sixth round the

Flynn was fighting with the vicious

dropped Kaufman in the fifth-and
In the next two rounds had the tot

his chances for the nomination in

Nebraska elects delegates to ma

names Of presidential candidates are

posed to be bound by the expressed

SMITH TO SPEAK
At PARTY FARLEY
Governor Lifts State C0nven.
ton From Depths of Po-
IiticaI Mediocrity.

ALBANY. n. Y, September %
Gov. Alfred f. Smith. alone and indi-
vidually. today lifted from the depths
of political mediocrity a Democratic
State convention which otherwise
might we'll have gone down in the
party's history as about the tamest
gathering of its kind in recent years.
With no Statewide executive Off
GERS to nominate. with no great issues
to debate, with no platform planks to
set in order, the LOO delegates
minus the considerable number who
sent their proxies-would have arrived
in Albany with little prospects OF en-.
ioying any of the thrills that'are wont
to be associated with State political
convention. What actually happened
was tn; they came apparently eager
ly and each with two words on his
tongue-"Gov. Smith"
Governor Will Speak.
The change from mediocrity to sup
pressed excitement came when Gov.
Smith announced just 48 hours before
the gathering of the convention that
he would speak before the delegates.
The unusual interest arose from the
fact that it was the first political
speech the governor had scheduled
since "Smith-for- President" clubs be-
gan cropping up in various parts of
the country. and especially since Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo, who locked horns
with Gov. Smith in the Democratic
national convention Of 1924, an.
nounced that he was out of the pic
ture so far as being a Democratic
presidential candidate was concerned.
There was conference Of party
leaders at the executive mansion last
night.
One Of the chief subjects discussed
was the content Of the governors
speech before the convention. The
governor told his friends that he in.
tended to speak on Government,
from the Political and Financial AS
pects," which was taken to mean that
he would have something to say about
the Republicans, political, and some
thing about his record in State office,
financial.
O'Brien Is Unopposed.
The chief official business Of today's
convention was the nomination for a
vacancy on the Court of Appeals
bench. and Judge John F. O'Brien was
unopposed.
Wishing to avoid embarrassing the
governor. party leaders sought to cir.
cumvent Louis A. Cuvillier Of New
York. who said he would ask the con.
vention to urge amendment or repeal
Of the Volstead act. The leaders de-
cided there would be no platform at
all. Cuvillier Is chairman Of the Ma
tional Constitutional Liberty League
