WHEAT PRICE RECORD
SCORED AT OPENING
Adverse Weather Conditions in
Europe Cause Upturn
at Chicago.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 49, Wheat
jumped today to new high price records
for the season, and there were sharp
advances likewise in all other grain.
Nearly unprecedented adverse weather
conditions in Europe, together with con-
tinued uncertainty about domestic Win
ter wheat prospects, brought about
big influx of buying orders that lifted
values quickly. Opening IS cent to 3b
cents up, wheat afterward scored ad-
ditional gains. Corn started at q cent
to ] 70 cents advance, and subsequently
continued upward. Provisions also were
6rmer.
In connection with waves of buying
which swept over the wheat market to-
day, news came that unfavorable crop
conditions prevailed not only in Europe
and the United States but also in Asia,
advices from India complaining of I'M
seaSonable low temperatures and of in
sufficiency of rains. Meanwhile offer
ings of wheat future deliveries in Chi
cago were relatively scarce, and ap-
peared to be mostly from traders in a
position to realize profits.
Rising prices for wheat today were in
the face of word of continued huge
shipments of wheat and -four to the
various importing countries. Accord
ing to an authoritative estimate, Eu-
rope alone has taken upward of $685.
$4,000 bushels so far this season, COM
pared with 334, $50, 900 bushels a year
ago and 321 $4,000 bushels two years
back. Moreover, non-European coun-
tries have taken 104, 632 900 bushels
against 53,888, 900 bushels during the
same period last season and $3.50, 900
bushels the year previous.

NEW YORK, February 13.-The SUIT
now in progress regarding the authentic
ity of a picture alleged to be a proouct
of Leonardo da vinci has far Wlder
business angle than the $5OO,0OO 1or
which Sir Joseph Duveen Is being sueo
and far wider than the value OF the
nicture. no matter what 1t may bring.
For IL has a bearish influence on the
nroeress and knowledge OF ART IN
r. is estimated that the vogue Tor
colors. the demand for beauty OF de-
sign. and the trend of fashion In varl-
o,Is products have combined to bring
about a situation where art and knoW!-
edge of it means not millions OUT Dill
lions in dollars and cents TO Amer
lean producers and merchants. IL Is
estimated by experts that no nome
is SO humble that 1t may not contain
objects of artistic value and OF artlstlc
beauty One artist recently exhibited
series of these objects, not one OF Wnlcn
cost more than 10 cents.
Conservative estimates OF the addition
by art to the value of American manu-
| featured products place the figure at
| $40 900 600, 900 a year. The manufac-
tured product of this country in 1928
exceeded $4,000, 100000 in value. OF
this sum about $35 900, 600, 900 was rep
| resented by cost of raw materials, while
the remaining sum was added to the
value by skill of manufacture and
artistry of design.
Specific examples of the additions
which art has made to manufacture
were placed on view today in an exhibit
ton at the Metropolitan Museum of
Art. This was the eleventh exhibition
of industrial art at the museum, but
the first of its kind. Heretofore objects
have been exhibited which took their
inspiration from museum objects. In
the present exhibit the objects have
been made by $50 designers who have
| worked year under the direction of a
committee of Americas leading archi-
tects. Everything was designed special
ly to make q comprehensive whole
which would convince the public how
far industrial art has gone in this
country and how fascinating it has
become.

sible TO guess the profit possibilities
from this end of the business.
From the standpoint of production
Warner Bros. and Fox have the jump
on the other producers because they
started first. The others are not far
behind, however, and Paramount,
Loew's and Pathe are now we'll estab-
lished in the production of talkies. At
this early stage a "hit" means large
profits and, judging from the activity
in all studios, this year should see
many very profitable features released,
The large increase in the seating ca
pacity of all theaters during the past
few years should benefit every pro-
Queer.
From the standpoint of exhibiting
the pictures, Keith-Albee-Or pheum,
Loews and Shubert have been so long,
in the business that they already had
many valuable theaters and locations
before the recent expansion began, and
as result many of their theaters were
purchased at very much lower prices
than the present market. During the
past few years Fox and Paramount
apparently have tried to Guido each
other in establishing chains of thea
tiers. Fox now has about 200 theaters
in metropolitan New York-the most
profitable theater area in the world
and others in various parts OF the
country, particularly on the West
Coast. Paramount is now operating
about 370 theaters throughout the
country having recently completed a
three-year expansion program, which
was largely financed by the sale OF
common stock Warner Bros. is max
ing strong bid for theater outlet, hav.
ing recently purchased Stanley Co. OF
America.
The ramifications of the industry are
50 great that it is difficult to single
out the possibilities OF individual
stocks. The chart showing the rise In
stock prices since 1927 indicates clear
w. however. that the industry as
Whole is progressing rapidly. The in
dustry's leaders say that the posi-
bilities of talkies have barely been
touched. and that whereas year ago
thew were running out of plots and 1eit
generally at a standstill. the new tech
nioue has opened an entirely new fieid.
In the past amusement securltiss
have been notoriously backward IN al
iusting market values to earnings.
While much is being said about recent
sterilization in the industry, due to tne
entrance of large banking interests; II
was demonstrated last week tnat Inc In;
nrices of the industry's stocks sun
move over wide range.

A DOCTORS ADVICE:
co LIGHT ON
LAXATIVESl

Everyone needs a laxative AT
TIMES. But there's no need for
making it a HABIT. If you have
the habit, you can be rid of it in
thirty days. Or less! And this is
how:
The next time you go to take
any strong cathartic-don't. In
stead, take a little caScara. That's
not a vicious drug, but the bark
of a tree. The laxative made with
cascara couldn't harm a child. It
is, in fact, the one cathartic many
physicians will approve for chill :
dren. Gentle as it is, cascarizing
is just as thorough in cleansing
the colon as the more powerful
purges that actually sap per-
sons strength.
Proof that there's no habit from
caScara begins the very day after

ENDOWMENTS REACH
HUGE SUM IN U. S.

NEW YORK, February 13.--More
than So ,ooO, 600, 900 were given away for
philanthropic and educational purposes
in the United States during the year
1928, and the aggregate of permanent
endowments in this country must be
written in billions, A. H. Filler, vice
president and trust officer, Wachovia
Bank &c Trust Co., Winston Salem,
N, c., told the tenth Midwinter Trust
Conference being held here at the Hotel
Commodore, under the auspices of the
Trust Company Division, American
Bankers Association.
do we comprehend, can we visualize
the magnitude and Importance of the
iects?" Mr.. Filler said. During 1928
America gave away to educational,
philanthropic, religious and charitable
causes the stupendous sum of $780,
600 ,000-a sum greater than the total
gross income of any government on
earth, save only the governments of
Great Britain and the United States
"This vast stream of endowments is
being augmented by new and swelling
tributary popularity known as bequest
insurance. Congregations, colleges, civic
societies and alumni associations are
encouraging and adding to its mo-
mentum. 1t has brought into accord and
cooperation the active forces needed,
the underwriters, the trust companies,
the philanthropic organizations and
men and women who find bequest in
surance the means of coming their good
impulses into legal tender
1.-THE sum of permanent endowments
is mounting, with the growing wealth
of our country and the enlightened
consciences of it's citizens. Complete
and accurate statistics are not available
to tell the total sum of existing endow-
ments, but the certain knowledge that
less than half a dozen of our rich men
have but recently set up endowments of
more than half billion dollars enables
one to conclude that the endowments
today, certainly of tomorrow, must be
written in terms of 10 figures. Our
colleges and universities alone, it is esti-
mated, possess endowments in addition
to their physical proportion in the ag-
gregate sum of one billion dollars"

COTTON PRICES FIRM
IN EARLY TRADING
Trade Buying and Covering Causes
Steadiness in Near
Months.

BY the Associated Press
: NEW YORK, February 13-The cot
ton market opened steady today at an
advance Of 5 points to a decline of
points. Near months were relatively
firm on some trade buying and cover
ing. There was a little selling of later
deliveries, probably promoted by the in
different showing of Liverpool.
Active months sold about to, 8

there was considerable buying. After

that control of a chain of theaters
for their own films and at the same
time put them in a favorable position
to swap releases with other large pro-
ducers and theater chain owners. No
producer makes enough pictures to keep
theater supplied constantly.
Several years ago some producers be-
gan to expand into the chain theater
field. It is estimated that in 1927 two
hundred million dollars was spent for
new theaters and one hundred and sixty
millions last year. In addition, pro-
ducers began to buy up small chains
until today all of the larger producers
control many theaters.
Lately the advent of the talking movie
has made 1t even more desirable to con-
troll large chains, because talking films
are rented on percentage basis, and a
large theater owner can share in the
profits of the hits" he shows, whether
or not he has produced them. At pres
ent only about 1000 of the 10000 the
aterS in the country are equipped with
the necessary apparatus to present
sound pictures, but of course the most
important theaters are being equipped
first. 1t will take several years to COM
plete the job, and in the meantime pro-
ducers are turning out their pictures
In both sound and silent versions.
Profit Possibilities.
To the investor this new industry
presents three profit possibilities-the
patents covering the technical side. the
actual production of pictures and the
operation of theaters.
It is difficult to estimate the invest
ment possibilities of the technical, pat
ent-holding concerns, for they have
never fully explained their patent sit
uation. General Electric, Westinghouse
and Western Electric control basic pat
ents, while Warner Bros. Fox, Radio
and Victor all have interests because
of their contributions. Since the
