lost i per cent each.
One hundred and sixty reporting
stores had an average loss IN open

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, September 16 (P.--Not-
withstanding new low record prices at
Liverpool, the Chicago wheat market
advanced today owing largely to asser-
tons that France may import 35,000,000
quintals of wheat. A leading French
authority was quoted as estimating that
the French wheat crop will not exceed
56,500 900 quintals. Contrary to what
has been the rule of late, there was
said to be no material selling pressure
today in Spring wheat markets, notably
at either Minneapolis or Winnipeg, and
the market here jumped at rapid rate
in the final transactions.
After a maximum rise of nearly
cents a bushel. wheat closed unsettled,
rs to 25s higher than yesterdays
finish. Corn closed y to "a up, oats
is to 234 advanced and provisions
varying from 10 decline to a rise of Z.

PRICES ARE LOWER
! ON CURB EXCHANGE
Utilities, Oils, Radios and
copperS Decline on
Trade News.
BY JOHN A. CRoNE.

enscial Dispatch to The star
NEW YORK, September 16.-Un-
favorable trade news, combined with
the calling Of wheat loans, which forced
grain spectators to sell their security
collateral, caused prices to move lower
on the Curb Exchange today.
Public utilities led the decline, but
were closely followed by a long list of
miscellaneous issues, including oils
radios, coppers, amusements and invest
ment trusts.
Electric Bond g. Share lost about a
point, and American g. Foreign Power,
its principal subsidiary, was off nearly
that amount. Standard Oil Of Indiana,
Cities Service and Eastern States Power
b declined fractionally.
Technicolor again proved to be the
softest spot in the amusements, sinking
rapidly to q new low mark. The reduc-
ton of export copper prices caused Red
Metal shares to drop. Petroleum issues
paid less attention to trade news, which,
on the whole, was favorable, than to
market movements.
Liberal offerings of stocks from Chi
cago and other Midwestern cities for the
account of spectators in wheat took
place during the morning.
In many instances banks called wheat
loans. which resulted in forced selling
Of securities.

NEW YORK, September Is Especially.
Price changes on the Cotton Ex-
change proved the smallest in some time
today, while fluctuations were the mar
rowest of the month under an extreme
ly steady tone.
Limited hedge selling had a steady
ing effect on the market in the face
of scattered liquidation of old-style de-
liveries, which wiped out the premium
on both October and January. Old and
new october and old and new January
closed at virtually identical prices,
though the old-style contracts were at
a premium of 35 points few months
ago. The list closed with an advance
of l to 10 points. Spots were un-
changed at 1925.

FARMERS ARE ADVISED
TO BUY SEED CORN NOW
By lac Assoeiated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Farmers in drought areas have been
advised by the Department of Agricul-
ture to select or purchase seed corn
now to prevent the possibility of a
shortage of suitable seed next year.
Unless farmers in the most seriously
affected drought areas recognize the
situation promptly and take steps to
meet it, the department said, 1.-The i'll
effect of the drought may not stop with
the current crops"
1T is probable" the statement con-
tinued, there are few areas so seriously
affected that SUFFICIENT corn of local
adapted varieties cannot be had for
planting in 1881, but the seriousness of
the conditions must be recognized, and
steps taken Immediately to insure that
enough seed Of these varieties is saved"

COPPER PRICES REDUCED
TO LOWEST IN 80 YEARS
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 16.-The
price of copper for export was reduced
one-quarter of cent a pound to IL O5
cents elf. European base ports today
by Copper Exporters Inc.
The cut was made to bring the ex-
port price in line with the domestic
price of 1919 cents a pound delivered,
made yesterday by at least one custom
smelter. Leading producers, who had
been holding the metal at IL cents, re-
duced the price to 1924 cents pound
yesterday. The new domestic prices,
the lowest in 80 years, compare with
the 18-cent level in effect from April,
1929, to April, 1880, when the decline
began.
