WHEAT VALUES RISE
IN EARLY TRADING
Upturns at Liverpool Reflected in
Gains at Chicago

CHICAGO. March. 15-Unexpected
upturns in quotations at Liverpool help
ed give an early lift today to wheat
values here. Adverse crop reports from
the Southwest continued, and Kansas
dispatches made further mention of Ill
effects of strong winds. Opening Il to
liz higher, Chicago wheat afterward
kept firm. Corn and oats showed an up
ward trend also, with corn starting at
"a to u gain, and subsequently holding
near to initial figures. Provisions were
inclined to sag.
Among the crop reports today from
domestic Winter wheat territory South
west we're some which received partic-
ular notice as being the first to arrive
from leading Chicago crop experts trav-
cling in that region this season. One
Chicago authority wired that from Kan
sas City to Harrington, Kans all wheat
was late and that in the heavy acreage
west of Harrington the stand averaged
light, with the plant small and stooled
very little. In many fields, he said.
part of the grain that terminated has
not come through the caked soil on top.
From another Chicago expert dis
patches were received today saying that
from Kansas City to Emporia most
wheat showed poorly. and some fields
were dead as a result of prolonged
floods and ice covering. Between En-
poria and Newton, entering larger
acreage section, the plants have small
top and root growth, but should 60
along in fair shape from now on.

INDUSTRIES FORGE AHEAD.

NEW YORK, March Is Especially -
Although credit conditions continue to
receive more attention than any other
factor in the business situation, there is
little evidence that the high rates are
exercising a restraining influence in any
phase of national commerce and indus
try, reports Sales Management Maya

survey.
To the contrary, the survey finds such
kev industries as automobiles and steel
producing at notably high leve1'' for
this season. while freight movements
are greater than for the corresponding
periods in any of the past three years.
Commodity prices also are found to be
recovering smartly from their recent
sagging tendency.

COTTON IS STEADY

NEW YORK, March 15.-Cotton
opened steady today at an advance of

firm Liverpool cables and reports of fur

sold up to 2l.30 or within IA points of
the recent level, while the new october

These prices seemed to meet renewal
of rather active realizing or liquidation

FARM POPULATION
OF U. S. DECREASES

speciaI Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 15.-Fewer peo-
pie are on the farms of the United
States today than at any time in 20
years. The Department of Agriculture
fixes their number at 1851 900, as
against a high point OF 100000 in
1909.
Only few years ago such a drop
would have been regarded as spelling
danger for the business and agricultural
prosperity of the Nation. But today
the farms, economists declare. could
lose even more population to the cities
and still produce all the foodstuffs re-
quired and huge surplus beside.
The change in feeling is due to the
increased efficiency with which farm
ing Is conducted and the wide use of
principal machinery in agriculture. It
is not extraordinary. therefore, that
1850 900 men and women left the
farms for the cities and only 1852, 600
came back to the soil. Had 1t not been
for the high birth rate on the farms,
% per 1000, and the low death rate,
per 1000, the loss would have been
even heavier.

ditions In the automotive industry as
whole.
Since motor stocks are not advancing
In anticipation OF the immediate future,
1t might seem that a degree of discrim-
nation in the selection of motor stocks
is necessary. 1t is quite possible that
the prices of any individual automobile
stock could advance against the trend
If its business were improving enough
to warrant 1t. Nevertheless, the fact
that most motors have advanced rapid
ly during the past year and a half. thus
making sharp reactions possible, to-
gether with uncertainties of the auto
mobile business for this year, suggests
the use of caution in selecting motor
stock to hold for the balance of the

$4,000, 900 MORE GOLD
ON WAY FROM GERMANY

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. March 15.-In addition
to the German gold which the Ham
burg-American liner Deutschland is
understood to be bringing next Monday,
another shipment of the metal is on its
way here from Germany, it was learned
yesterday. The total for the two ship
ments is believed to be in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. 900.
Both shipments are believed to be
consigned to the Federal Reserve Bank
here, but whether they both represent
gold transferred by the Reichsbank for
the purpose of creating dollar balance
here is not yet established.
Last weeks movement of gold at the
port Of New York, as reported by the
Federal Reserve Bank, was the smallest
in weeks. Imports were $4,000, chiefly
from Latin America. and exports were
S55,000 to Germany. No change was
reported in the amount of gold ear
marked for foreign account.

COST OF RUBBER TIRES
MAY SOON BE INCREASED

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 15.--Increases
of about 10 per cent in the prices of
rubber tires are expected by Wall Street
to be inaugurated by the leading manu-
facturers at an early date.
Such increases, 1t is understood, will
be a reflection of the firming in crude
rubber prices and the approaching sea-
son, when there will be a heavier de-
nand by motorists for tires. The de-
cline in tire prices brought about last
year was caused by the abolition of the
English restriction act on the produce
ton Of crude rubber in the Far East.

WHY'S Overland.
WHY'S Overland advanced steadily

Of business. More recently there seems
to be considerable evidence of Ford and
Chevrolet competition in this field, for
Willys-Overland has marked time since

Packard has recently announced an
other price cut along with its policy OF
letting the customer share benefits OF
savings made possible by use of more
efficient manufacturing machinery. In
the past six years SAL 100000 has
been spent for new machinery. While
Packard's present price is hardly justi-
fed on the basis of It's automobile bust
ness alone, since earnings In 1928 we're
1854 a share, it Is we'll known that its
opportunities in the aviation motor
field, because Of long experience, are
good. Packard has, therefore, followed
the trend of prices Of the aviation
stocks rather closely.

was earning $8.12, it Is expected that its
business will improve when the present
expansions are completed
Hudson continues somewhat of a mys-
terry, for while 1t made comparatively
little progress during the past year and
a half, 1t now has complete line OF
new cars which brought January pro-
duction to new high record. Hudson
has averaged around $3.50 share for
five years and last year earned $8.43.
Heavy equipment expenditures have in
creased efficiency at its plant, which,
should put Hudson in favorable COM
petitive position.
Chrysler has had a more severe re-
action than any leading motor, largely
due, perhaps. to the fact that it had
advanced faster in relation to earnings
than the others. At one point it was
selling at over ri times earnings, while
the average for all leading motors was
about Is times, and General Motors was
less than IA times. In the past few

tional characteristics that so many
of the best scholars have given
Hamlet for years. Leiber approaches
his Hamlet in the human way. He
makes him moody but not enough
to sway Hamlet from his course of
murder, To me Leiber'S Hamlet is
a murderer who justified his death
and who should be brutally blamed
for killing Ophelia's father. Leiber
reads his lines well, only once and
while slipping into the habit of
not being clear. He places more
dramatic Importance on some scenes
than other actors of the role.
In all fairness to Leiber, we all
have our pet Hamlet and Just be-
cause 1 can not agree to all that
Leiber does as Hamlet is not the
slightest proof that he is wrong. I
believe we judga our Hamlet's by
our favorite actor of Shakespeare.
OF course at the prices charged,
Leiber does not carry heavy sets but
rather suggests his settings with
Grapes and lights. He seems to
have gone in for pretty pictures,
often too pretty for such a gloomy
play.

TO
MAKE MOVIE
FOR FOX

John Mccormack, the greatest
modern lyric tenor, has con-
tracted to make one all.talking
and singing picture for Fox Films.
He made this announcement in
New York yesterday at the Park
Avenue apartment, where he Is
stopping until he sails for home
next Friday. The picture con-
tract will involve sacrificing his
fall concert tour.
This definite word settles rumors
which have been current for
months that the famous singer
might enter the movies. It re-
vealed that six months of nego-
tiations by Winfield Sheehan. vice
president and general manager of
the Fox organization, were neces-
sary to close the deal. The sing
er's movietone test was made four
months ago.
The story will have an Irish
background and will be written by
Tom Barry, dialogue writer of the
picture "In Old Arizona" and the
plays Courage" now at the Ritz
Theater; THE Upstart," Dawn"
and "The Immortal Thief" which
was written especially for Walter
Hampden. Barry said that as yet
he had no definite idea around
which to build his scenario.
A director yet to be selected,
supporting cast and technical
staff will be sent to Ireland early
in August to start work on the
picture. Mr.. Mccormack, who is
going directly to his home in
Moore Abbey. in County Kildare,
will meet them there, and the
whole party will return early in
October. The picture will be COM
pleted at Fox Movietone City in
California and will be released
about February of 1880.
Mr.. Mccormack said that he
had chosen the Fox company and
movietone as the medium for his
picture after his representatives
had surveyed all the current sound
devices. In discussing the produc-
ton, he said that the picture
would be neither highbrow nor
lowbrow, nothing slushy-just like
a Mccormack concert"
