SENDS FUTURES
MARKET HIGHER
Corn in Strong Position as
Heat Cuts Into Crop
Prospects.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Wheat closed
sharply higher on the Board of
Trade today, showing relatively
more strength than corn. Both
grains were advancing, with the
discount of wheat under corn at
tracing attention. Activity in the
former grain was more pronounced
than in many sessions, while corn
went to new high on the present
movement.
Profit-taking and selling against
offers checked the bulge in corn.
Oats were f1rmer, with the major
grains showing good advances.
Exports Small
At the close wheat was 394 to
35s cents higher; corn was rs to
3a8 cents higher, and oats were rs
to 2A cents higher. Provisions were
strong to Is points higher.
Trade in wheat was rather light
at the start and prices were up
strongly on the strength in corn,
but after the opening they sank
back somewhat to near the previous
close. Export business over the
weekend again was light, as Liver
pool still was closed. Cash prices
we're unchanged. Receipts were 400
care.
Corn met profit-taking and COM
mission house selling on the sharp
opening advance and lost good
share of the gains. but renewed buy
ing sent them climbing upward at
mid-morning. Prices were between
2 and 3 cents up at that time.
Indiana Crop Hurt
Crop observers were sending in
more damage reports, mostly from
Indiana and Ohio and southern
Dakota regions. The forecast was
for cooler weather, but no precipita-
ton. Cash prices were 121@ cents
higher. Receipts were SO cars.
Oats owed most of its strength to
corn at the start and at midday held
strong advances. There was little
hedging and not very much action.
Cash prices we're Il to Y cent high
er. Receipts of 255 cars we're some
what heavy.

lRv Thomson "a McKinnonl


NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Tuesday the
steel industry should announce ex-
panding operations and on Satur-
day should report increased tonnage
of untitled orders. Past experience
frequently has seen the first week in
August mark the upturn in business
following a long period of receding
activity.
With the motor industry swinging
into active production today, the one
branch of industry that has been
most outstanding in the current de-
preston, makes it seem that this
month may again run true to form
in initiating trade recovery.
No doubt this thought may be up
permost in the minds of far-seeing
investors for there is no denying the
fact that steady accumulation of Sc
curities by strong interests has for
some time beer going ~on. 1t is
especially effective whenever prices
are reactionary.
We look for this absorption to con-
tinue and the demand accelerated as
the business news which we fully ex-
pect assumes a. more favorable as
pect.

seemed to miss giving the character
any real life. The truth is that
the outstanding piece of work is
that done by Bernice Claire as the
girl whose sweetheart (played by
Raymond Hackett) is in prison. The
girl becomes a domestic in farm
house near the prison and when the
boy friend gets on the road working
crew she lis able to see him, give
him doughnuts and kisses and try
to make a heel out of him by trying
to persuade him to escape, because
he is innocent.
I am getting tired of having SO
many innocent heroes i'll our movie
story prisons. Rather silly the whole
idea. In 1.-THE Big House" the in
mates of prison were tough guys, the
type that put rat poison in the
soup of their victims. The prison
crew in Numbered Men" failed to
develope any real human qualities.
They acted more like puppets. Even
the killers in this movie are just
over grown physical babies.
Miss Claire previously has been
identified with musical shows.
This time she plays a straight
dramatic part. I noticed several
instances Of extreme over-acting.
She seems to have a definite acting
future along dramatic lines.
You may like the theatricalism of
Numbered Men" If you do that is
your own business. 1 don't.

Several farm outbuildings were
destroyed.
The first fire started Friday night
on the farm of a Mrs. Kendrick.

The blaze was visible from State

When an automobile owned by

The fire leaped from the car to

stop the leaping flames. The fire
at one time menaced a barn con-
tanning more than 400 tons of hay.
Fire, started by a cigaret, leaped
into a woodland at Blue Lake,
