WHEAT PRICES DROP
IN EARLY TRADING
Corn Also Suffers Setback After
Selling Follows United States
Crop Report.


CHICAGO, October 10-In sympathy
with the weakness of Liverpool wheat
market, wheat values here underwent
an early setback today. Corn prices also
went lower, general selling being wit
messed when a bulge at the start re-
suited from the Government crop re-
port.
Opening y to 34a7a off. Chicago
wheat later showed material further
drop. Corn opened unchanged to y
higher, and subsequently suffered de-
cided downturn. Oats were easier. Pro-
visions also tended to decline.
Despite assertions that all wheat crop
figures in North America have been
discounted and that prices are too low
in view of the needs of importing coun-
tries the wheat market here took a
fresh downward swing today influenced
largely by action of Liverpool quotations
that in turn were based on pressure to
sell low-grade Canadian offerings. There
also were favorable field advices from
Australia. and estimates were at hand
that seedlings of wheat in New South
Wales this season total 100000 acres,
against 100000 acres last year.
Although latest Government figures
on 1928 corn production are $4,000, 900
bushels less than indicated a month ago.
the corn market today met with a
notable increase of selling goods. The
selling drive found the market at least
temporarily devoid of aggressive sup
port, except on declines, It was noted.
however, that some corn export bust
ness was in progress East. and that
export bids at Omaha for shipments via
Galveston were on &c higher basis,
about equal to the shipping difference
between Omaha and Chicago.

ly comes to an end when he finds
that an unknown rival has come
upon the field. Spike finds that
every one of his sweethearts have
succumbed to the unknown lover. In
port after port he finds that the
unknown lover has just preceded
him.
Considerably irritated, Spike final
~ catches up with his rival, who
has been set upon by police. Salami,
the rival, is about to be thrown into
the local bastile when Spikes as
Sistance routs the police. Shortly
after, Spike is thrown off the dock
and Salami saves him. Thus, in
stead Of finding his rival an enemy,
Spike becomes his close friend. The
picture reaches its thrilling Climax
when a former flame attempts to
betray Salami.
