GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Sept. &c (P-Predictions
of fair and warmer. weather north
west brought about an all day decline
in wheat values today and nearly wip-
ed out sharp advance of corn.
Wheat finished rs to pa cents net
lower; corn. 1-5 to 3-5 cents up, oats
varying from hc decline to 5sc ad-
vance and provisions at &c off to 26c
gain.
With prospects better for Canadian
threshing and for the movement OF
new wheat in the northwest, both
Canadian and domestic, the wheat
market here tended down grade from
the beginning. Hedging pressure de-
veloped on the rallies, Liverpool quo
tations were relatively weak, beneficial
rains were reported in Argentina and
the amount of wheat on ocean passage
was shown to be larger compared with
last week and also a year ago.
Increases Of 5,537, 900 bushels in the
United States visible wheat supply and
$4,000 bushels in Canadian stocks
were additional bear factors in the
wheat market. Moreover, export de-
mand for North American wheat was
laggard, total sales to Europe today
totaling but 100000 bushels. Under
such circumstances the wheat trade
here gave little heed to word Of WIN
try conditions at numerous points and
the market closed near to the days
bottom level.
Corn prices reacted from an early
steep upturn that was associated with
weather reports which at first gave
rise to apprehension of severe crop
damage in large part of the corn
belt. Later, however, a more reassur-
ing forecast put stop to buying and
brought about a general disposition
to await developments. Oats were
chiefly governed by the action of corn.
Provisions averaged higher, respon-
sive to strength, in corn and in cotton
as well. tk5

INDIANA MAYOR
CONVICTED, HAS
Wife APPOINTED

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 26 Up,
without explanation, Mayor John L.
Duvall of indianapolis, today named
his wife city controller, thus paving
the way for keeping the mayoralty
toga in the family should he resign
or be removed from office as a result
of having been convicted last week OF
violating the corrupt practices act.
The mayor, however, insisted he was
not going to resign. The office OF city
controller is the second highest posi-
ton in the municipal government and
Mrs. Duvall is the first woman ever to
be given it, She automatically would
become mayor If 1.-The office was va
Gated.
The city controllership was vacated
earlier in the day by Claude F. john
son who asked that he be returned to
the police department. where he had
served for many years, to retain his
rating for pension purposes.
Mrs. Duvall, who for years was O
stenographer and bookkeeper in the
bank of which her husband formerly
was president, said she would give her
salary Of $4,000 to charity.
Duvall is confronted with sentence
of $1,000 fine, 30 days Imprisonment
in the county Jail, and disbarment
from holding public office for four
years. He was found guilty OF violat-
ing the corrupt practices act on Mo-
ivember 2, 1925, for promising William
H. Armtage, local politician, the right
to name two members of the board of
public works and the city civil engi-
neer, in return for $4,000 and Armit-
ages support on the election that year.
Duvall's attorneys have until Octo-
Der to prepare motion for a new
trial.
While republican majority members
of the city council announced no ac-
ton would be taken toward bringing
impeachment proceedings, democratic
leaders in indianapolis have been con-
sidering having the executive remov-
ed. They saw in the mayors action
today a precaution on his part to keep
the mayoralty in the family.

with "discouraging slowneSs."
We are now beginning to get the
benefits of the curtailment policy and
it is bound to effect the price situa-
ton if maintained but, unfortunately,
it has not been the experience as OBJ
served by the consumers that the cop
per producers stick to their policies
and that the consumer knows that, II
the producers do not keep on their
present production policy, copper Will
slump again. Hence they are laying
off the market with their purchases
lust as long as they can and carefully
watching the production figures.
Over production alone has not been
responsible for the present copper con-
ditions but this has been accompanied
by uneconomic policies of distribution
and marketing and lack of co-opera-
ton between the producing and dis
tributing units even within the same
organization. 1t does seem now that
the producers have learned the neces-
sity of curtailment and production
control and that it is probable that
the waiting consumers will be disap-
pointed if they expect material slip
ping of copper production upwards.
All of the metals are being bought
on a hand -to-mouth basis and, While
sales are generally good, there is nc
stocking against future needs or pros
| pectively higher prices, all OF Wnlcr
shows that the consumers are con1l-
dent in their feeling that there is tc
be no quick movement in metal prices
and that there is no likelihood OF any
| shortage.

Antiques and Relics
Wanted on Exhibition
AT Cochise Co. Fair

Heads of the domestic science de-
partment for the seventh annual
Cochise county fair are urging, that
everyone who has relics or antiques,
bring them to the fair grounds to pc
exhibited. There will be prizes this
year for everything listed in the
premium booklet for this department.
Most of the prizes are cash, but
there are also fine assortment OF
merchants prizes.
The committee is hoping to have a
fine exhibit of peculiar or unusual
things and antiques and relics. It
has made every arrangement to
handle this exhibit in such a way
that the articles will be safe and
cannot be handled by the visitors.
They will be locked in glass cases
during the fair and there is little
possibility that anything will be
broken or mussed up.
Fancy work, cooked foods and can
ned fruits, jellies and preserves will
have a place in the domestic science
exhibit and the women of the dis
trict are urged to bring in their Of
ferings.

feeling on the business situation and
the prospects of a continued large
purchasing power on the part OF the
public and this is further evidenced by
she condition of the stock market.
Among the mining stocks, coppers are
strong and show that this one OF the
three metals is maintaining the most
interest $ad the best prospects Tor
early advance.
Judging by statistics there should be
more interest in lead as the lead stocks
in August took considerable drop
from 48,942 tons to 43,189 tons,
thing which indicates better consump-
ton as there was practically no change
in the production figures of July and
August. The market is extremely
quiet but it is felt that the consumers
who are awaiting further concessions
in price are due for disappointment.
The zinc stocks also took a consld-
erable drop in August according 10
the figures of the American Zinc IN
stitute as the stock at the beginning
of the month was 39,323 tons and
was 34,587 tons at the end OF the
month. The present zinc production
is about 60 per cent of the maximum
as based upon the number OF retorts
and it is about 70 per cent OF the
highest production which it is possible
to attain.
The recent sales of copper are COM
ing well up to the buying that took
place during the early part OF August
and which was responsible for the
large August totals and the copper
price is stronger with many OF the
producers holding for 1879. ~
The August copper statistics nave
been generally heralded by the press
as being extremely gratifying and in
dicating healthy condition yet there
has been no material move to increase
prices and get away from the r1di-
culously low price which prevails. The
present price is extremely low in the
face of production costs and there IS
no sound economic reason for the
present price.
There does not seem to be any doubt
of the assertion that the consumers
in the country have not taken care of
their requirements and that Germany,
france ana EIlSldI1Q dAlu uAAuCl DOuSLAC
and will have to come into the market
for larger quantities of copper soon.
The fact that consumers who bought
for later delivery are requesting de-
livery now and the volume of sales for
immediate delivery indicate that even
present requirements have not yet
been filled.
The high points in the European
situation in relation to copper is: Fur
ther improvement in demand for cop
per and brass products in Great Brit
ain, Germany undertaking other coun-
tries but in spite of this her exports
for the first six months of 1927 loss
than same period in 1926, plant con-
solidation in Austria which will lower
production costs, lowering of British
stocks of copper and increasing OF
French stocks, Japan is now consun1-
ing more copper than A. can produce
and that the whole European copper
situation is improving but improving

about cents a busf1el in wheat fu-
lures under the influence of better
weather in Canada a larger visible
supply and slow export demand.
The bearish tone of many weekend
commission house letters also was a
factor in the selling of stocks. Con-
siderable attention also was paid to
the semi-annual report of the New
York Air Brake company, which SHOW
ed only SLAB a share as against $5.32
in the first half of 1926, and to the
August statement of the Atchlson
Topeka and Santa Fe, which disclosed
net operating income of $5,OO7426 as
against $8,407,763 in August last year.
Weakness of U. S. Steel common,
which sold down 4 points to 1487s,
was in anticipation of poor third
quarter report as a result of low prices
and relatively light operations within
that period. Bethlehem reacted 2
points and Crucible q, but the other
so-called independents showed little
change.
General Motors cold stock broke
from 1924 to 2611a and then rallied
slightly, while the new stock showed
a net loss of 4 points at 1875. Chrysler,
Hudson, Nash and Mack Trucks sold
down point or two, and Pierce Ar
row preferred sank points to new
low at 80.
New York Air Barke broke points
to a new low at 40 on publication OF
its report, and acute weakness also
developed in such issues as Baldwin,
Case Threshing, Commercial Solvents,
Dupont, National Distillers, Otis
Elevator, Timken Roller Bearing, U. S.
Cast Iron Pipe and Woolworth, all OF
which sold down 8 to z points.
An early outburst of strength in the
public utilities carried nearly a dozen
issues in that group to new high
ground but they reacted with the rest
of the list later. Among those to break
through to new peak prices were
Abitibi Power, American Water Works,
Commonwealth Power, National Power
and Light, North American Co., Peo-
piles Gas, Public Service of New Jersey
and Southern California Edison.
In the railroad group, such popular
dividend payers as Atchison, Baltimore
and Ohio, Chesapeake and Ohio, Rock
Island, Delaware and HUDSON, new
York Central, Norfolk and Western
and Pittsburgh and West Virginia all
sold down point or two. The COM
bined net operating income of the first
81 roads to report their August earn
ings showed falling off of 121a per
cent below that of the same month
last year.
Banks called about $10O00000 in
loans, but call money held steady all
day at per cent. There was no
change in time money OF commercial
paper rates.
Except for moderate rallies in the
Spanish and japanese rates, there was
little of interest in the foreign ex-
change market. Sterling exchange
held firm around gold parity.

in the valley have been divided into
two triangular sets, each school hav-
ing an affirmative and a negative
team which debate at the same time
in different places. The day for
the final debate is set for January

auspices of the Kiwanis Clubs of the
valley, and they have been asked
to procure the judges. The rules for
the league were decided upon by the
governing board, consisting of a
representative from each school.
The plan is for each school to be in
one contest only and the winners
