CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-W Wheat
dropped sharply as the Board OF
Trade opened this morning under
the overwhelmingly bearish Senti-
merE that pervaded all world mar
kets. Foreign markets were alb
ruptly lower, Liverpool being 23s to
Us cents lower shortly after noon.
and Buenos Aires was 1s to ia
cents down just before noon. The
action at Winnipeg Thursday was
the dominating influence. Corn and
oats were lower with wheat.
At the opening wheat was as to
rs cents lower; corn was off Il to
u cent, and oats was down y to
Il cent. Provisions were easy.
Liverpool, as was expected, fol-
lowed the decline here and opened
sharply lower this morning. The
heavy selling at Winnipeg was at
tributed to holders discouraged by
the slow foreign demand and the
reluctance of banks to carry wheat
any longer, having supported the
holders for a considerable time in
the face of steadily decreasing prices
A slow demand for feed corn and
free offers from outside markets
kept a constant perssure on that
market. Weather over the belt is
extremely cold, below zero in many
places. and probably will act as q
further deterrent to the movement
Oats met quite a bit of selling
on the weakness of the major grains
There was some support on the way
down. but hardly enough to make
any difference.

Problem of 0verproduC-

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 17.-Den-
mite policies Of production control
in the automotive industry will be
carried out in 1880. according to
factory representatives who car
ried the views of their companies to
dealers at the New York automobile
show and who will reiterate them
at the Detroit show, opening Satur-
day.
Never before in the history Of
commercial activity has anv indus

basis Of gearing production 10 de-
mand as quickly as has the automo-
bile business.
II the policies outlined are OBJ
served overproduction will be q
thing of the past
Change Likely
Another change which some fac
tories seem likely to make this year
concerns handling of cleanup Of
cars about to be superseded by
new models.
Indications are it will be more
common in 1880 for factories to sell
cleaup cars to dealers at reduced
prices and to allow rebates on the
old models dealers may have in stock
When new models are announced.
One factory. in fact, has added q
clause to its contract providing a
dealer with more than 3 per cent of
his years contract on hand when
new models are announced may OBJ
tain a rebate.
Where such allowances are made
they will be a great aid TO dealers,
as losses on cleanups in recent
years have been an important Gauss
of unsatisfactory dealer profits
Boom Expected
George M. Graham, vice-presi-
dent Of Willys-O Overland Company,
believes sales will come back IN
the next three months.
Ir Automobile Topics, he says:
I'VE all know that sometime in
the three first three months Of this
year, booming trade is bound to
reassert itself and we are pressing
forward with all u activities Just
as though the time were only a few
days off"
A good year view is also taken
by the Oldsmobile officials. Produc-
ton schedules for 1880 for both the
Odds six and the Viking eight have
been increased and it is expected
January production will surpass
