New York, Aug. - LP-Nictlm
of an onslaught by 5000 curious but
sympathetic women democrats. Mrs
Alfred f. Smith had her first taste
last night of publicly being the wife
of presidential nominee.
The ballroom of the Hotel Aston
fairly bulged with women as they
crowded to the reception given in
honor of Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Joe Rob-
inson, and former Governor Nellie
Taylor Ross, by the women's demo-
cratic organizations of greater New
York.
But the bullying gradually con-
centrated itself toward the receiv-
ing line platform where ~ women.
| guests and hostesses. were barri-
caded by a thin little rope which did
not hold against the massed fem
unity.
| The rope broke and several hun
bred startled women found them
selves thrust unceremoniously upon
the persons of the women they had
come to gaze upon.
Mrs. Smith. cordial and smiling
beamingly upon the crowds that
we're falling upon her partners in
the social event, tried in vain to
catch the rope, but the back rows
retreated. saving the day. and the
guests of honor.
In her simple-line cream colored
lace frock, decked at the shoulder
with cluster of orchids. Mrs, Smith
made a pleasing picture of shy
but earnest participant in the event,
rather than star performer.
At Mrs. Smiths side stood the
Dental candidate. Mrs Robinson
wearing a frock of blush-ros lace
with yellow roses on her shoulder.
Neither of the guests would speak
before the crowd, but graciously
acknowledged the tributes paid them
by Mrs. Franklin ID. Roosevelt, head
of the women's division Ct the na.
tional committee. Mrs. Ross and
Miss Annie Matthews, registrar OF
New York.
Mrs Roosevelt was charming anG
gracious as ever She wore a straight
line Alice blue satin frock with {
string of fine pearls at her throat,
The disappointment of the guest:
at the reception was great when j
was learned that Governor Smitl
would not make an appearance. bu
it was somewhat allayed by the ap
pearance of the vice presidential
. candidate who spoke briefly.
Women were gathered from al

WHEAT is LOWER
ON INITIAL TRADES
Corn Values Show Gain on Reports
That Rain Hampers
Huskers.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, October 22.--Lower prices
for wheat and higher prices for corn
proved to be the rule today IN the early
dealings. Lack of any aggressive wheat
buying In the face of increasing sup
plies tended to depress wheat, whereas
wet weather over the corn belt gave
strength to the corn market. Opening
"a to 70 off, wheat recovered somewhat,
but then sagged again. Corn started
as to 7s higher, and subsequently adj
vanced a little more. Oats were firm.
Provisions eased down.
Fresh declines in wheat values today
came about despite Liverpool advices
that considerable resistance to down
turns was developing abroad. 1t pointed
out in this connection that Liverpool
stocks Of wheat were being depleted, and
that the amount of wheat on ocean
passage was much under the total a
year ago. On the other hand, latest
estimates Of the world surplus of wheat
were in excess of a billion bushels, and
indications were pointing to a further
enlargement today Of figures on the
United States visible stocks.
Rains, which were reported as putting
stop to huskers for at least time,
gave a notable upward trend to the
corn market Besides, further down.
pours were expected tonight. Mean
while, talk was current that more corn
than usual has been contracted for
ahead of picking time. Another bullish
influence was a seni-offlcial report that
the italian corn crop this season is
61,795,000 bushels, against 87550.0 900
bushels last year, and that the yield of
rice in Italy is 10000 tons less than
for 1927.

INDUSTRIAL CURB
!. ISSUES ARE HIGHER
Libbey-0 Company and
Safeway Stores Lead in
Advances.
BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, october 22.-The char
acter of the buying on the curb ex-
change today was not as impressive as
it had been in recent sessions. Sharp
advances occurred in individual spe-
cialties, while there was a noticaF.e dis
position to liquidate other issues.
Among the motors Marmon and Au-
burn were freely supplied wherever bids
made their appearance. Mining shares
were influenced by strength in this
quarter of the stock exchange and the
reported heavy sales of the copper
metal to domestic users on the 1873
cent basis. Newmont, Hudson Bay
Roam Antelope and Noranda were
favored in this group. After opening
on a block of 1000 shares at gain
of 2if points, to So. Noranda shot
across so. 1t failed to retain all the
improvement. however. Another feature
at the outset was Checker Cab Manu-
featuring. Opening on a block OF
10,400 shares at a gain of point 70
7515, the price subsequently went to

in the calculations regarding the mar

conditions in the industry, coupled with
expectations of special consideration of
stockholders regarding distributions,
was the incentive in this instance. Lion

heavy volume, although it was called
upon to absorb active profit-taking
sales. Rights to subscribe to the addi-
tional shares to be offered by Texas
Corporation were admitted to trading
and changed hands between 314 and
3%. High-priced industrials were led
by Libbey-Owens Co, up points to
a new high at los. and Safeway Stores,
Is points higher at 800. New tops also
were reached by Blumenthal, National
Sugar of New Jersey, and Evans Co.,
but in almost all instances a good part
of the improvement was lost in the
later trading.
