GRAIN OPTIONS

QUIET SESSION
Wheat Steady in Face of
Lower Cable Reports;
Corn Higher.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. l. - Wheat
opened unevenly steady on the
Board of Trade today despite lower
foreign markets. Liverpool was dull
and easy owing to heavy terders.
but they went into strong hands.
Buenos Aires also was weak. Deliv-
cries we're small early and trading
light. Corn showed most strength
on the cold weather while oats
were almost unchanged.
At the opening wheat was IS cent
lower to Is cent higher, corn was
unchanged to S cent higher and
oats were unchanged to 4 cent
lower Provisions we're quiet and
steady.
Liverpool Lower
Liverpool was lower than expect
ed and declined steadily, if slower,
to stand Z to / cent lower at mid
afternoon. Buenos Aires was off
IL cents just before noon. 1t is
the belief of the trade that De-
cember has been fairly well liqui-
dated and that deliveries will pass
into strong hands.
The sterilization corporation has
been credited with transferring from
December into May thus reducing
the amount of actual wheat to be
delivered on contract the first dav.
With DecemberC more or less out of
the way, more attention will be paid
May and July, there being no known
governmental operations in the lat
ter month as yet Deliveries this
morning were 2,457,000 bushels.
Corn Stronger
The break of around 4 cents in
corn last week has materially
strengthened the technical position
of that market. The sentiment is
more friendly to the buying side.
Temperatures in many parts of the
belt are lowering around the zero
mark. Evidences are coming in OF

were no deliveries so far this morn
ing,
The marketing of oats has de-
clined materially in the last ten
days, owing to the much colder
weather. Contracts out of terminals
have exceeded receipts and strength
ened the cash grain position. De-
liveries were 1,634,000 bushels.

market community awaited the as
sembling of congress.
Bears we're out of the market en-
tirely and it took only small
amount of buying to bring prices

grade shares made the most con-
sistent gains.

tured by Auburn which rose 21a,

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-05-13
REASON By Ff EzRBFs

TINE papers state that Henry Ford has paid
L $4,000 for walnut bureau, alleged to have
been made by Abraham Lincoln, while resident of
southern Indiana, and presented to neighbor named
Crawford because Crawford loaned him life of
Washington and Lincoln put it between the logs of
the cabin and the rain blew in and soaked the
volume.
Lincoln may have made the bureau, but he didn't
present it to Crawford account of the Washington
book because he paid for the damage done that book
by pulling fodder" three days for the owner.
And far from feeling kindly toward Crawford
Lincoln thought him CRATER and wrote bitter poem
about his Blue Nose
7 INCOLN was quite literary person while in the
- Hooser state, trying his hand at various bits of
prose and poetry addition to his essays on temper
ance cruelty to animals, ant the necessity of pre-
serving the federal Constitution.
He tossed very bitter pen and more than one
pioneer was ridcuIed in verse by the future President
This habit of removing the hide of others later was
to involve Lincoln his duel with Senator James
