GRAIN TRADE LOOKS
FOR SIGN OF BUYING
Market Observers Believe Sudden
Heavy Purchases Woulds Lift
Wheat Sharply Higher. =
BY JOHN p. BOUGHAN,
Associated Press Market Editor.

CHICAGO, November 28.-Gfain
trade observers are eagerly scanning the
horizon just now for signs Of possible
new heavy wheat buying movement.
Some authorities say such a movement
would sweep prices both here and
abroad up in dramatic manner II the
buying came coincident with a crop
scare in the American southwest. where
the crop is off to a below normal StHrt.
1t is also asserted that owing to pro-
nounced lack of sub-sol moisture over
a large area of the Canadian northwest,
no likelihood exists for bumper wheat
yield in that section to offset the de-
crease which appears certain to be wit
messed in the Winter crop Of the United
States. :
Meanwhile, dominated largely /, by
failure of general business to improve
as rapidly as expected, wheat prices this
morning had lost the greater part of
their recent "a cents bushel advance,
and were 41sa6l2 cents down as COM
pared with week ago. simultaneously,
corn was 37sa43s of, oats showing
112a212 decline, and provisions varying
from IL cents setback to a rise Of 10
cents.
It is being pointed out that extraor-
binary efforts in Europe to curtail
wheat imports may result in practical
exhaustion of transatlantic supplies
before the end of the Winter. Further
more, the factors which were responsible
for the 24-cent advance of wheat from
the low prices of October S are still
existent, though recently overshadowed.
Leading Chicago specialists say that the
remarkable advance from october was
based primarily on prospects that by
next Summer the worlds wheat supply
and demand situation would have
changed from one of oversupply to at
least a better balanced ratio.

BOND PR|CESDROP
IN ACTIVE TRADING
Decline Held to Smaller Pro-
portions Than on Previous
Days Transactions.
BY F. II. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 28.-While
bonds moved lower today, their de-
clines, except in few instances, were
not nearly as large as on Friday and
Thursday. Trading was fairly active.
The opening was lower. Overnight
news developments were of a negative
nature. with the Manchurian situation
dominating the foreign department.
There was pressure again on Japanese
bonds and, as a sequel, on practically
the entire foreign group. British 512S,
additionally heavy because of the heavy
break in sterling, dropped to a new low
on the current reaction nearly points
under their recent high. Belgian 6s,
Italy rs and other Europeans were af-
fected by the same type of liquidation.
German government 512s and Dawes
reparations rs were at new lows in spite
of the agreement of international bank
ers on measures to protect their Ger
man short-term credits after the expi-
ration of the standstill agreement on
February 20, 1882. The clearing up of
the uncertainty of this Interpretation
of the "stillhaltung" agreement was a
most urgent necessity two weeks ago,
but Premier Lavals insistance on the
priority of reparations over private debts
now looms as the big obstacle to a solu-
ton of the German problem. German
municipals like Berlin Is, Cologne 6i2s,
Frankfort 6l2s and Saxon Is were of
to points. German ipdustrialS were
also lower German General Electric
rs sagged points.
Canadian government issues were still
under pressure. Canadian National
Railways bonds, guaranteed by the Ca
madam government, were point lower
The $150000,000 Canadian internal
loan was reported three-quarters sub
scribed today but other factors have
caused a definite weakening in ex-
change rates and as a result lower
prices for Canadian obligations in New
York The Canadian bond market was
reported firm.
In the domestic list the outstanding
weakness was in New York Central
bonds. The refunding 4l2s Of 2013
we're off 3 points and the new refund
ing AIS of the same maturity were
points lower. The SIS lost points.

FACTORS ENUMERATED
WHICH PRODUCE BOOM"

THE hum of many factors that could
lead to boom" has continued in earn
est, says a London Stock Exchange
Gazette writer, and Mondays news of
the Stock Exchange Committees de-
cision to relax the restriction of dealings
to cash transactions on and from Mon
Gay next has strengthened the tone of
cheerfulness that was already quite
lively. The rises scored on Monday last
made a truly remarkable list to study,
and was true record that the weeks
business began in a spirit of determine
ton. The prime minister's pronounce
ment at the lord mayors banquet in
the evening was salutary and cate
gorical reminder of the number, the
dimensions and the completely of the
tasks that confront this country. Willy
nilly, we are still largely in charge Of
the world. Every prominent business
man knows that we are still reminded,
and frequently, by intelligent foreign
ers," that they look to us for lead in
a number Of matters Of the first i'm

PACKERS INCREASE
SALES WITHIN i. S.
Industry Tries to Offset De-
cIining Exports by Larger
Domestic Trade.
BY ALVIN RESCH.
Written for the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, November 28-The meat
packing industry has met the challenge
of sharply declining exports by market
ing greater proportion Of its products
in the United States.
This has been done in the face of
domestic production which has main
tanned high level, approaching nor
malcy, and gives no hint to any tend
enc" to drop.
Figures compiled by the Institute of
American Meat Packers from Govern
ment reports disclose that domestic
consumption of meats and lard for the
first 10 months of 1881 totaled approx
mately 10,4l0,000,000 pounds, an in
crease over the 10,346,000 900 pounds
consumed in the same period of 1880.
Production Figures.
And this higher domestic consump-
ton followed closely on the heels of
production figures. For the first 10
months this year American production
of meats and lard aggregated 1884
100000 pounds while the 1880 figure for
the same months was less-10, 759, 00O,-
600 pounds.
Meanwhile exports of meats have fall
en- in some cases to unprecedented lows
Total American exports of all hog
products during the marketing year
from october, 1880, to September, 1881
for instance, were the smallest for more
than 80 years
Increased live stock production in
most European countries is given as the
major reason for the slump in Amer
lean exports.
Especially has the hog crop shown
an increase in Germany with the result
that American imports of bacon in
frHy haU Mt
in the last two years. German exports
of bacon to the United States. on the
other hand, have displayed marked in
crease since 1929.
Even in this era of falling prices on
meat-packing plants was rated by the
holds to its traditional contention that
no meat must be wasted irrespective of
higher production or lower exports.
Largely because meat production has
been maintained at high level, how
ever. employment in American packing
plants has suffered only slight decline
Employment in slaughtering and
meat packing plants was rated by the
Federal Department of Labor at 80 per
cent Of the 1925 normal Tor october
this year, compared to the rating of
94.5 for october, 1880.
Plant Pay Rolls.
Equally favorable in the light of sta
tistics on many industries were the de-
partment'S figures on pay rolls in
slaughtering and packing plants. For
October the industry's pay roll total
was rated at 1876 per cent Of the 1926
normal" against 95.9 per cent for
October, 1880.
In September this year 204 slaughter
ing and packing establishments through
out the Nation employed 31,705 men.
with a weekly pay roll in excess of
$2,000,000
Although most packers have reduced
the pay of 'salaried" employees, wage
cuts of men working by the hour have
not been general. Some large Chicago
plants still guarantee 40-hour week to
wage earnerS.

MINNEAPOLIS, November %. -
Sharp gains in home building and in
surance, a moderate increase in retail
buying and an apparent end to the de-
cline in living costs feature the changes
in consumer habits since last month,
according to the Investors Syndicate

The upturn in home building comes
as a pleasant surprise at this time of
year, since the trend is normally down.
ward The upturn in insurance buying,
coming at the same time as a decline
in savings, again indicates an interest

insurance buying had been steadily de-

PART TWO By ARTHUR THURNBLAD Worlds Champion, Three Cushior
 BiIIiards.)

A billiard players stance is as important as that of the golfer and the baseball player.
 A simple way to attain the cor rect position at the table, is to lay the cue on the table pointing the tip in the direction in which the shot is to be made. The right hand grips it at the butt. Now step for ward and to the left, still holding the cue in the right hand. Both feet are flat on the floor.
 Such a position should show the right hand, the right foot and the eyes all in line vertically, with the cue swinging freely at least six inches from the body. Now move the left foot forward and let the eyes follow the cue as you bend down to shoot.
 It is very important that the eyes be directly over the cue when the shot is made. Both feet should be firmly on the floor whenever possible.
 The billiard follow through gives distance and accuracy as do the brothers of the baseball bat and golf club. In developing follow through the first thing to remem-

DOUBLE PLAYS PREDICTED BY

 on Diamond

PASO ROBLES, Cal, March "A. The Pittsburgh Pirates infield, 1881 model, may not prove the best in the business, but baseball men who have watched the Suhr-Gran- tham- -Traynor- combina- ton working out here unqualifiedly make one prediction-the Bucs are going to make lot of double plays.
 The real spark is in the team work of Grantham and Thevenow. The new Pirate shortstop and the veteran second sacker are working together as though they had been teammates all their lives.
 Both are fleet of foot, play in closest harmony and everybody con- nected with the club believes the pair will start off many a dual killing when the National league race gets under way.
 Suhr, too, has been playing his part. His fielding has been high ly satisfactory. He has been going after everything and has been es- pecially brilliant in gathering in i wide" throws and '.mudders."
 With Suhr going well, Granthanl and Thevenow doing their part i brilliantly, and Captain Pie Tray nor reported better than ever, Pirate jubilation certainly seems justified.
