WHEAT CLIMBS
four CENTS ON
CANADA SLUMP
Lowest Yield in Years Is
Reported in Northwest;
Corn Also Up.
BY. L. D. ROMINE JR,
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Aug. Is. - Wheat
SCARED more that 4 cents higher on
all futures after strong opening
this morning. Canadian yield re-
turns, the most sensational in their
weakness in years, and heavy -four
sales brought on the bullish senti-
ment which resulted in heavy buy
ing by all interests. Canadian
wheat in Alberta, Saskatchewan and
Manitoba was lowest in its yield in
many years, with an average of from
6 to % bushels to the acre.
Corn reacted with the great
strength shown in the wheat pit
and closed as high as Us cents
above Thursdays final figures. Oats
advanced sharply with other grains.
Wheat Is Higher
At the close, wheat was As to
Az cents higher, corn was up to
27s cents and oats we're q to Is
cents higher.
Strength in the Liverpool cables,
along with the reports of very poor
yields in Canadian winter wheat,
gave the market here impetus on
the buying side and prices we're up,
May as much as cents, at 10
o'clock.
Harvest on the other side of the
international line is most discour-
aging on the crop yield, according
to all reports, and thrashing only
from six to twenty-three bushels to
the acre. A crop estimator advised
of a poorer crop between Moose Jaw
and Wakaw than he ever had seen
in that part of the country, worse
than the crop during the rust year
of 1916.
The United States department of
agriculture report on world wheat
showed figures indicating the 1929
1880 supply around 3,90o,0O0,000
bushels, reduction of 380,000,000
from last year. Receipts today at
Chicago we're al cars. Cash wheat
was steady.
Corn Goes Up
Corn went higher today on the
continued dry weather over the belt.
Estimators in the field hold forth
some very poor reports over the
southwestern part of the belt. Re-
ceipts today were very small, with
only Al cars arriving. Cash prices
were to 1c lower
Car receipts in oats were smaller
today, the peak having been
reached, according to receivers, with
only 1879 cars in. Prices on the mar
ket were stronger today and during
the morning we're well above tho
last close. Cash prices on oats were
better at Il to y cent higher.

NO PRISONERS
DEDICATION OF
JAIL IS Spoiled
Chief Inundated; Alleged
Burglar Gets Out of 'Es-
Cape-Proof' Cell.
BIZ United Press


CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-Dedication Of
PaIatine's new $4,000 city hall and
Jail was spoiled this week by the
escape of a lone prisoner, who had
been caught and confined especially
for the occasion. Palatine is a suburb
west of here.
The dedication has been put off
now until next week and by that
time Police Chief George Henning
hopes to have his old prisoner back
behind the bars or catch a new one.
Chief Henning felt that his new
escape proof" Jail would make a
much better showing on opening day
if at least one of it's cells was
occupied. So out into the town went
George and the other member of the
Palatine police force and brought
in prisoner.
His name was A. L. Fialka. He
was 43 years old and he came from
Chicago. Henning charged him with
burglary.
Came the dawn of dedication day
and Fialka was missing. The non
malleable, escape proof" bars of his
cell window were wrecked. The
dedication was postponed.
Today Fialka is under arrest in
Chicago on charges of burglary and
Jail breaking, but Chief Henning of
Palatine hasn't decided whether he
wants Fialka sent back.
ut may be better to get a new
prisoner" the chief said.

during most of this year, due to the
decrease in speculative building.
The index figure for job activi-
ties during July was found to be
21S as compared with 231 in June
and 238 in July last year. Despite
this recent reduction in activities
as compared with the records Of
similar months in past years the
construction performance for the
first seven months of 1929 approx
mately equaled that Of the same

This is explained by the activities
on uncompleted projects for which
contracts were awarded last year.
The heavy volume of carried over

in May this year and current activi-
ties are proceeding at the new levels
dictated by the lower volume Of

The advance in the main body
of stocks showed signs of hating at

stration in many months.

strings at advancing prices. Teas
Corporation, Standard Oil Of New
York, Atlantic Refining, the Pan
American issues, Simms Petroleum
and other leading issues Of this class
advanced aggressively, several of
them touching new high records.
So great was the trading in the
oils, that they accounted for ma
jor part of the afternoons turnover
and eclipsed the morning leaders.
American Can, General Electric and
Consolidated Gas, which enlivened
the early trading, were neglected in
the rush for the oils in the after
noon, but maintained early gains.
United States Steel, which has
furnished its share of strong lead
ership for the advance, was also
neglected in the afternoon and
sageed close to its previous closing
level. Utilities, with the exception
of Consolidated Gas and American
and Foreign Power, were not
bought much In the late trading.
Anaconda, Westinghouse Electric
Westinghouse Air Brake and other
leaders, were we'll supported in the
late trading despite the shifting OF
interest to the oils.
Near the close General Electric
hit 400, up points. 1t closed at
$685., up IA. American Telephone
and Telegraph netted IL points to
close at 1884,. Special issues like

The industrial average (prelimi-
