GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Dec. 81 tR--Grain prices
tilted upward today largely owing 10
reported good European demand for
wheat and to possible serious crop
damage in domestic winter wheat ter
ritory Closing quotations on wheat
we're unsettled at the same as yester-
days finish to 11sc higher, with corn
3sc to 114c up, oats varying from nc
decline to 3sc advance and provisions
unchanged TO a rise of 25c.
Upturns in Liverpool wheat values
today were followed promptly by ad-
vices that q liberal amount OF Canad-
ian wheat had been bought for trans
oceanic shipment Stimulating effects
on the wheat market meanwhile were
noticeably emphasized by word that
high winds in the west had caused
snow to drift, leaving many fields vir-
tually bare Of any protective covering

this connection, special notice was TAX

End of the year trading inc Decem-
ber wheat was very active, shortly be-
fore the close the December price
advanced to 3 cents under May. Be
lated efforts to get wheat to fill De-
cember contracts here caused the
bulge, but when these wants were
filled, the market for December de-
livery fell back to about AZ cents un-
der May Premiums continued strong,
however, for all good milling grades
Of wheat. High protein grades were
especially difficult to buy.
Heavy SHOWS throughout the corn

were also firmer, synpathizing with

Weekly Copper ReUiew
BY CHARLES F. WILLIS
Editor The Mining JOurnaN

{, Holiday quietness has prevailed in
the metal market during the past week
with copper remaining at 1875 net to
the producer, lead at $50 and zinc at
5.65. The average price for copper re-
ceived by the producers during the
past week was 1870.
There has been an especial leanneSS
in copper purchases by domestic con-
'sumerS following the buying wave of
several weeks ago and it is probable
that the domestic consumers will be
largely out Of the market until after
the new year. Foreign sales are main
tanning we'll
It is q producers market with none
of them being pressed to get rid of
their copper and no tendency to offer
any inducement for sales. The prices
are nominal, being largely influenced
by the offerings of the custom Smelter
production and not representing a
transfer of any great quantity Any
resumption of large scale buying would
probably start another advance in
price.
Yet copper is long ways from being
"out of the woods" as any production
advance would again bring on lower
prices. The past year has had its good
points and it's bad points insofar as
the copper market is concerned. The
production of copper for North and
South America for the year is going to
come within few thousand pounds of
hitting the 3,000O00 0O0-pound mark
a record. This record is being accom-
plished in spite of the fact that during
the past year the domestic consumers
have dropped about 80 in their TAX
ings of the metal
This drop in domestic consumption
fortunately has been more than offset
by the 20q6 increase in foreign con-
sumption and if it had not been for
this large increase in European TAX
ings, it would have been a sorry year
for the copper producers.
Statistics are now available which
permit of the summing up of the year
1927 for the metals based upon the
figures for the first 111A months. Pro-
duction of refined copper during 1927
has increased about 80 over 1926, the
worlds production will be about 1,730,-
900 tons as compared with 1,695,O0
tons in 1926
The production of blister copper has
increasIi at a greater rate, about 314 %
and will be about 1,654,OO0 tons during
1927. The discrepancy between refined
and blister production is due to the fact
that production of secondary copper is
included into the refined figures.
This big copper production for the
year has not been caused by increasing
production by the big companies. They
have been holding back attempting to-
maintain balance between conSump-

price tendencies today characterized
the closing session of the year in the
stock market. Profit-taking brought out
slight recessionS here and there, but
final quotations were generally higher,

points. Trading was unusually heavy

Optimistic year-end forecasts by
Secretary Mellon and business, bank

expectations of record breaking jan

Cash sales for the purpose of reg

Heavy buying of the motors was be-
1ieved to have been inspired, in part,
by the desire of professional traders
to draw attention to the New York
automobile show which opens here

CLASS TOURS SOUTHWEST
VIRGINIA

DR.. E. Ray Casio, professor
of Geology at Emory & Henry
College, conducted the first
field trip given by the College.
This trip began August 16 and
lasted two weeks. A complete
survey of the greater portion
of Southwest Virginia was
made. 1t might really be called
a course in mineralogy because
minerals, rocks and their COM
positions were the chief things
studied.
Besides this several large
plants were visited and the
class was treated very cordially
in that they were permitted to
go through all of them and
learn something Of their pro-
cesses.
Next year DR.. Casio is plan
ming to bring a group of stud
ents to Dickinson County and
study here.
The party or class was made
up of twenty-three students re-
presenting Virginia, TennesBee
North Carolina and West Va.

THE wELCH-KINGSPoRl
HIGHWAY

The citizens of Dickinson
County generally are pleased
with the report of the State
Highway Commission of Vlrg-
mia in the ALLEGATION of the new
mileage for this county and ad-
Joining and near counties. rs
pecially are those boosting the
Welch-Kingsport Highway well
pleased with the report, be-
GAUGE the commission has prac-
tically put this route now on
the State Highway. There IS
now only one link of about nine
miles from the West Virginia
state line to the Tennessee line
out of the system.
Senator Roland E. Chase who
has been one of the leaders IN
the fight for this Welch-klngs-
OFT Highway in a letter to his
friend J. P. Lay of Coeburn Va,
another leader and strong advo-
cate of this Welch-Kingsport
road has said;
1--WE almost got all Of our
Welch-Kingsport Highway in
Virginia, on the state highway
map on our first fight. We now
have all of this road from the
West Virginia line to the Ten
nessee line, as | understand it,
in the state highway system,
excepting about nine miles. /
understand that the extra mil
cage given Scott County out OF
the 2A per cent mileage con-
meets this road to the Tennessee
line, if this is correct then the
only link out is about nine miles
from the Dickinson County
line towards Grundy to where
this road intersects Highway
No. Ill into Grundy.
eve will have, in my opinion,
when we get this Welch-Kings-
port Highway connected up, one
of the most important roads in
the state. This Welch-Kings-
port road will be about 100
miles in Virginia, and now over
80 per cent of it is in the state
system. We certainly ought to
be able to get this other, less
than 10 per cent, into the sys-
tenn next year out of the 2A
per cent mileage.

BOOK REVIEW

(By Frank Monroe Beverley
Dream Cargoes" is the title
of a thin volume of verse by
David w. Cade just off the
press of Dean & Company, New
York City. Cade, as a poet, ap-
pears to have cast his lot with
he school of contemporaneous
poets, but in his better moods
he seems to redeem himself
rom the senseless idea, and to
approach the standard of a gen.
ration ago, when John Green
eaf Whittier, Henry Wads-
worth Longfellow, Celia Thax-
-er, Oliver Wendell Holmes,
Ralph Waldo Emerson, and
others, wrote sensible, intellig-
BILE and inspiring poetry.
Dream Cargoes" contains
forty-five poems, all short, and
on variety of subjects. The
writer Of this review considers
he poem entitled, "The Yellow
Sea-" as the best of the collect
on, as it perhaps more nearly
approaches the poetry of the
Did school than any of the OF
ners. The poem, Exile" how
gver. is a close second. Other
poems of the volume have this
.edeeming feature, among
which may be mentioned, "Star
CALL" "In Andalusia,' "The
Old Sassafras Tree" and "The
Rose"
The book contains sixty-four
pages, and is tastefully bound
in dark blue cloth. The auth
3r's portaiat appears on the
dust cover, and shows
himself to be a man who might
come to himself some good day.

 Apart from fashion and social distinction, there are few gen. eral principles to follow in nam ing the baby.v continues the arli- c,e in Children, the Magazine for Parents" Take into consideration the initials. Consider the suitcase of the poor girl named Albcrua Susan Spear. Do not try too much for softness. Names like Lenora Malloy simply lack back bone. The more neutral the last name the wider the choice-one of the few advantages of Sm.ta. If your last name means any thing Fish, Fry or Brewer, for instance-be careful what name you choose to go with it. Mari etta Fish is not so good.
 Mems names like mons fash ions do not change in popularity as often as women's. William and John are today the most popular and were forty years ago. The only three names that have fallen from popularity are Henry, Fren- erick, and Thomas. Their sue cessors are Harold, Arthur and Francis"

roes and heroines always will be thin" said the veteran producer director who years ago discovered such slender stars as Mary Pick ford and the Gish sisters, and who later brought to the screen the slim, vivacious Colleen Moore "The Venus de Milo type of fem mine beauty never will come back into popularity.
 When r picked Mary Pickford, Lillian Gish and other slender girls in those formative. days of the movies," he explained, "I was not launching a fad nor merely expressing personal preference for slender beauty. Beauty alon: cannot make woman successful on the screen; she must be alert. vivacious, sparkling, alive with energy. And it SD happens that when a woman is all those things she is practically always thin. She is not of the Lillian Russell or Anna Held type once popular on the stage.
 '1 did not pick Colleen Moore because she was slender. I pick ed her because she was so alive with eagerness and nervous ener. gy that she fairly quiyered. That sort of temperament succeeds on the screen, and incidentally Il keeps one thin. In other words if the Venus de Milo came to me looking for screen opportunity l would reject her, not because hel form is no longer fashionable but because it is the physical expres. sion of temperament keyed too low for the screen.
 "The same holds true of mascu- line screen stars. Genius is thin.
 "So you sec there can be no question of returning to the bux- om ideals of former years. The screen must have heroes and heroines whose personalities shine clearly upon the screen. Such players tend inevitably to be thin and so. without any conscious ef- fort to set fashions of physical culture, the movies must continue to preach always the gospel of slenderness.
 And so long as human beings are human they will continue to seek that romantic slenderness which they sec on the screen"
