BROKERS LAUD
U. S. HELP TO
GRAIN MARKET
Federal Farm Board Is
Credited With Blocking
Tuesday Panic.

81 United Press
CHICAGO. Nov. 10. - Grain
brokers, many Of whom formerly
openly disliked government inter
vention on the board Of trade, ex-
pressed opinions today that the fed
eral farm board had prevented a
panic, and kept American wheat
prices stabilized despite the fact
prices dropped to record low levels
on other world markets.
While markets were crashing
Tuesday at Winnipeg and Liverpool
and wheat was going down to the
record lows. the government con-
tinued buying wheat here at the
Stabilized" price Of 70 cents and the
market went serenely along, unin-
fiUenced, for the first time in his
tory, by debacles in the other boards.
No Chicago Panic
Veteran traders recalled that the
last time wheat dropped as low at
Liverpool as it did Tuesday was in
1894, and that at that time wheat
went down in sympathy on the Chi
cago board to so cents.
The powerful influence Of the
grain sterilization corporation was
shown concluSively, traders pointed
out, by the fact that only Decem-
Der deliveries, in which the corpora
ton has been dealing exclusively,
rode undisturbed through the day
of turmoil on other markets.
While December wheat remained
stable, closing at 70 cents, OF y.
March and May succumbed in the
late hours of trading to the natural
trend and closed Us to 19sc lower
respectively.
Wild Scenes at winnipeg
These losses we're, however. light,
compared with the drops in Winni-
peg and Liverpool.
In the Canadian city, where al
most unprecedented scenes of tur-
mol were enacted on the exchange
floor, wheat closed at 57ls cents,

 CTS Battle

The Pomfret Town Team turned in a fine game of ball on it's new field Sunday, taking it's rivals from our neighboring city into camp to the tune of 8 to 1. Neither team was able to score up to the seventh inning, both pitchers working at their best, the youthful Valade trying to out do the seasoned Pomfret twirler. Many critics of the game thought BIackmore's effectiveness as twlrler had long since been past but Ugh certainly gave q fine account of him. self Sunday.
 In the last of the seventh four clean hits and two misplays by the Putnam boys allowed the Towners to send in four runs. Pomfret scored four more runs in the last of the eighth while the Indies scored their lone tally in this inning.
 Carey starred in the field for the Independents making a nifty oHs hand catch after a long run.
 Farquhar continued his heavy hit ting for the Townies sending out twe long doubles.
