The long-awalted invasion BY

sion Of the Texas league was in
full sway today. with the spotlight
playing on the inaugural between

the visit of the Houston Bluffs, oc-
cupants OF second place. TO the
Sports orchard at Shreveport.
Although three games do not a
season make. the series at Fort
Worth and Shreveport might well
prove the turning point in the cur
rent chase. If the Exporters and
Bluffs get away 10 q good start on
their first long road trip they
promise to be hard TO stop.
Two Of the northern outfits drew
what appeared to be soft spots at
the outset OF the present invasion.

Atlanta Reserve District Had

Special DISPATCH to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ATLANTA, February 4-The total
value of farm crops produced in the
six States comprising the sixth Fed
eral Reserve district during the 1929
season, according to estimates by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, is greater than for the year be-
fore. Five of these States shared in
the increase, a decrease being shown
for Florida, largely because of lower
returns from the orange crop, which
was considerably smaller than for the
previous season.
The total volume of business trans
actions of all kinds settled by check
during the year 1929 at 26 reporting
cities of the district averaged 81 per
cent greater than for 1928, but de-
creases were shown for November and
December, compared with those months
a year ago. The volume of retail trade
during December, while at the seasonal
peak for the year, was 81 per cent
less than in December 1923, and was
also smaller than in December 1927,
1925 and 1925. For the year 1923 re-
tail sales average "a per cent smaller
in volume than in 1923.
Wholesale trade reached in October
the highest level in two years. but de-
clined SeaSonally during the two months
IolloWlng ana IN December averaged
AZ per cent less than year ago.
Wholesale sales we're greater during
seven months of the year than for the
same months of 1928, but decreases
were shown for the other five. Savings
deposits were smaller for each month
OF 1929 than year earlier Loans by
weekly reporting member banks de-
clined from the highest point for the
year early in October to level at the
end of the year lower than for any
weekly report date since March, and
discounts by the Federal Reserve Bank
of Atlanta at the end of the year were
smaller than for any weekly report
date since March 1928.
Commercial failures in the district
increased sharply in December over
November and were greater than a
year ago. Building and construction
activity, as reflected in statistics of
building permits at 20 cities and con-
tract awards in the district as a whole,
declined further in December, and for
the month and year were less than a
year ago. Production by reporting cot
ton cloth and yarn mills in the district
declined in November and was less than
a year ago.
Output of coal in Alabama was aver
aged somewhat smaller, but in Ten
nesSee slightly larger in recent weeks
than at the same time last year. Pro-
duction of pig iron in Alabama was
smaller in December than in Decem-
Der 1928.

GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, February 4 (P).-Inf1u-
.enced by unexpected upturns in Liver
pool quotations and by reported better
demand from European continental
countries. wheat scored sudden price
gains here early today. Liverpool mes
sages noted less pressure to sell Argen-
tine wheat, Starting unchanged to &c
higher, Chicago wheat afterward show
ed material advance all around, but
subsequently reacted somewhat. Corn,
oats and provisions were also flrmer,
with. corn opening f2a5sc of to asc up,
and later making the rise general.
Contrasting with early gains, Chicago
wheat values broke sharply today after
the Liverpool market showed a setback
at the close there. At first, buying here
and ensuing advances in price had
resulted from the fact that hand in
hand with an unlooked-for rise of
wheat values at Liverpool were reports
OF an improving call for wheat from
Canada and the United States, with
Argentine wheat in less request and
United States wheat afloat the cheapest
wheat available. Then came announce
ment that the Liverpool advance had
proved unstable, and the Chicago
market crashed downward more than
219c buShel in a few minutes.
On the downward swing of the Chi
cago wheat market today all future
deliveries fell below any price level
heretofore reached this season. One of
the disturbing factors, nearly simultane-
Gus with the new break, in values was
word that the cooperative allies of the
Federal Farm Board had modified their
bids at Minneapolis so that no wheat
having less than IL per cent protein or
otherwise inferior would be accepted.
This apparently would exclude a large
percentage of country run wheat, and
would mean that large shipments
started from country points northwest
would meet with a shrunken market.
