TRADING is ON BOOM
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO. Nov. 4.-Western
farmers today visioned dollar
wheat" as reward for the grain
they boarded at harvest time be-
cause they could not sell it for the
money it cost to grow.
Already the sensational rise which
has added $50,0OO,Q0O to the value
of stored grain has brought the
dollar price for the choicest grade
of premium wheat.
A mounting roar from traders in
the Respondent wheat pit of the
Chicago Board of Trade bore the
good news both for grain farmers
and La Sale street brokers. The
chorus Of voices reflected a vast in
crease in trading with the higher
prices for wheat. Scores of visitors
looked on from the galleries, which
have been almost deserted for
months.
The boom in wheat also has
brought rising prices for corn, rye,
oats, and barley, their advances are
estimated to have brought more
than $15,000,000 in increased wealth
to farmers.
Boost to Business
Tt was emphasized that better
wheat prices mean an immediate
stimulus to business in grain
regions. Farmers stocks are low
Wheat money will be used at once
TO fill empty larders, purchase
winter clothing, household articles
and luxuries which have been done
without because of unWillingness to
sell the great cash" crop.
Continuation of the advance,
which touched 20 cents above the
all-time low of October S, has been
predicted by market observers.
They admitted temporary re-
cesisons such as Tuesdays cent loss
might occur, but pointed out that
farmers who still hold ap-
proximately half of this years crops
are little effected by such fluctua-
tons, since they are not trading in
the wheat pits to any extent.
Return of bull market in wheat,
bringing back optimism to wheat
growing regions and relief of want
to farmers whose funds were ex-
hausted, also has revived a lethargic
grain trade, it was revealed.
Public Back in Market
Grain brokers cheered each adj
vance in prices. They said the pub
lie had come back into the market
with rush. Business on the Chi
cago wheat pit, which dwindled to
100000 bushels a day, doomed to
100000 bushels last week and
struck the 90,OO0,O0O- bushel level
this week.
Pit sales were reflected in in
creased commissions and in a $4,000
jump in the price of Board of Trade
memberships. Sale of member
ship was arranged at $1,000.
Brokers said New York firms were
principal buyers of memberships, in
the belief that a return of better
times first would be reflected in ris-
ing commodity prices.
Recalling how wide breaks in
grain prices presaged the stock mar
ket collapse of 1929, predictions
were free that the grain rise antici-
pated a definite upturn in economic
conditions.

in the Circuit Court of Richmond for
S750000 damages, filed w Herbert NJ
Campbell, acquitted defendant in the
Mary Baker murder case in Arlington
County. Motion for judgment was
filed shortly after the papers were
served.
1t is claimed in the action that Prof
Goddard, in a newspaper interview
appearing in Washington, was quoted
as saying that Campbell's gun fired
the shots found in the body of Mary
Baker and that he made the statement
that IF Campbells gun was never out
of his possession, there can be no ques-
ton as to who committed the murder"
The further claim is made that DR..
Goddard gave false, untrue and ma
licious report" and that photo ,raphs
used in the evidence were not .,.operly
made.
1t is thought probable thu it will
be asked that the case be tr ssferred
to another State, as GoddarG is not
resident of Virginia, and tn alleged
statements attributed to him ere not
made in this State.
DR.. Goddard, in commenting briefly
on the motion for judgment by Camp
bell. said that his testimony at the
trial consisted OF giving only the find
ings of his laboratory in Chicago He
declared that he made no personal
settlement. Further than this, Dr. God
dard declined to discuss the filing of
the suit. The case cannot be reached
for trial in the City Circuit Court I'M
til November, and it is believed unlike
ly that it will be taken up before the
