WHEAT PRICES DROP
IN EARLY TRADING
Selling Is Laid to Bearish Crop
Z Reports From the Argentine
Republic.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November Tn contrast
with the New York stocks, the wheat
market today went doWngrade during
the early dealings. Selling which
brought about declines in price Tor
wheat was ascribed largely to the bear
ish outlook for the wheat crop in Ar
gentina. Opening at 81 decline to a
advance, wheat values soon underwent
a material setback all around. Corn,
oats and provisions were firm, with
corn starting unchanged to u higher
and subsequently holding near to the
initial range.
Although election results were eager
" discussed today by wheat traders, no
traceable influence of political news
was apparent in the wheat market. on
the contrary, prices made an uncertain
start and then took guidance to q
great extent from dispatches telling OF
improved wheat crop prospects IN
Argentina, especially word that rust
damage reports were untrue. There
were also advices that European de-
mand for wheat from North America
continued of only moderate volume.
Rainy weather over the corn belt un-
favorable for husking and for the move
ment of new corn gave an upward trend
at times to the corn market Besides,
arrivals of corn in Chicago today were
relatively small, 191 cars, and were
also meager at other leading centers.
Total receipts of corn here today COM
pared with 312 cars a week ago.

LEATHER OUTPUT

Tanners Declare Industry
Has Reached High Point
of Efficiency.
Nv the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, November 7.-Tanners
saw their industry, after experiencing
ueriod of rising prices and difficulty IN
obtaining raw material, has reached
level of greater stability than ever be-
fore in its history, with the curves OF
cost and production, after violent up
swings. flattening out for 1928.
Spencer K. milford president OF

of cattle hides, from which much OF
the American leather is made, is run
ming 10 per cent above the 1924-1926
average and we'll above last years.
Imports of Hides.
However, hide supply, regarded as a
mercurial factor because demand for
meat determines the number of hides
taken off, has Jagged behind consump-
ton. Imports of hides, mainly from
South America, have made up the de-
ficiency caused by a decline IN about
10000 animals in the 1928 Federal

per cent above 1927 and about so per
cent above the average for the three
preceding years. Foreign hides are
said to have cost tanners nearly 80 per
cent more than in the 1924-1927 period,
owing to buying by other countries and
reduced take-off in Argentina. South
American hide prices eased somewhat,
but are about 40 per cent above the
1924-1926 average. One result has been
the increased use of substitutes for
lower-priced shoes, although all-leather
construction still is used for quality
shoes. The tendency is not new one,
it was explained, with public demand
for quality always bringing the Situa-
ton back to normal.

of which also are imported, have been

of last year.

Quail Die Of Thirst.

DR.. Joseph Grlnnell, ornithologist, Of
California, believes that lack of water
explains the disappearance of quail in
many parts of that State. He has made
investigations and finds that areas for
merly supplied with water are now dry
owing to climatic changes and reclama-
ton work and have become uninhab-
liable as nesting grounds for the quail.
DR.. Grinnell does not believe that
vermin has accounted for the disap-
pearance of the birds so much as the
lack of water, as the species of wild
birds and animals designated as vermin
also have become scarcer during re-
cent years in the same area. Young
quail which are Matched more than
400 yards from water and where rain
does not fall or heavy dews occur
shortly after they are Matched will die
from thirst, says bulletin of the
