in temperament between the night and
day drivers. The former are. some
how more adventurous type, al
though nobody could ask for more adj
venture than he gets driving with
some Of the more reckless day work
ers.
A well known and high-priced Illus
traitor once rode in New York taxi
to the extent Of fifty cents on the
meter. When he got out and started
to pay the driver, the latter called
him by name and said:
"Say, I've always thought your stuff
in magazines was o. K. If you'll take
my address and send me one of your
original drawings, this ride won't cost
you a nickel"
An Irish driver told me recently
that quiet, nice looking woman car
rying bag hailed him and that, just
as he stopped for her, the bag came
open and ''the biggest snake that St.
Patrick ever drove out of Ireland"
stuck its head out.

"What did do?" he said. Il almost

GRAIN FUTURES
SELL DOWN ON
PROFIT-TAKING
Weakness at Liverpool Is
Another Factor in
Decline.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVTLLE
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 17-Hedging
pressure and weakness at Liverpool
combined to depreSs wheat prices on
the Board Of Trade today and the
close was sharply lower. There
was lack Of the aggressive buying
that characterized Thursdays trade
and the session was comparatively
slow.
A change in the weather situation
with prospects for cooler tempera-
lures over most of the corn belt
carried prices down almost 2 cents
at one time. Oats followed corn
lower. There was small rally at
the close but prices failed to recover
the early losses in any pit.
Close Is Weak
At the close wheat was Il to q
cent lower, corn was liz to 21s cents
lower, and oats were Is cent down.
Provisions were steady to strong.
Liverpool continued weak and
closed Il to u cent lower. The
northwest was clear and hot and
lacked moisture despite some rains
overnight. The forecast is for
thunder showers. Cash prices we're
unchanged to Il cent lower. Re-
ceiptS were COZ cars.
The forecast for cooler weather
and some scattered showers over
the belt brought pressure on corn
during the morning and prices fell
a full Ia to IL cent by mid
session with December leading the
way down. There was little dis
position to rally early. Commission
houses took December on the de-
cline and cash interests sold July.
Heat Damages Corn
Temperatures well above 100 de-
greeS were reported in many Sec
tons of the belt and the situation
is such that severe damage might
enSue If the heat continues and rain
is not forthcoming. Cash prices were
unchanged to Il cent lower. Re-
ceiptS were 95 cars.
Oats lost fraction at the start
and followed corn down to show
loss Of u cent to * cent at mid
morning. Trade was light and with
out feature, the weather being the
principal factor. Cash prices were
unchanged to u cent lower. Re-
ceipts were 20 cars.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Pendinp
more definite details on a long
term loan for Germany, the Stock
Exchange today fuctuated over a
narrow course in dull turnover. Sell
ing broke out near the close and
prices worked irregularly lower in
principal isues.
At times during the day the mar
ket was carried up to substantial
gains. Trading Jagged along on
both rallies and declines, however
The opening was firm and a gain
was recorded in the early dealings
led by United States Steel Then
prices reacted, only to come back
again in the late afternoon and re-
act again near the close.
Gains Wiped Out
Steel broke below the previous
close of 95, after nearing the 81
mark. Losses were recorded in Case
Lorillard and a long list of others
after early gains had been wiped
out. Corn Products and Allied
Chemical were weak spots in the
afternoon.
The initial advance followed rise
In foreign markets. Stocks at Lon
don and Paris we're higher. No
banking trouble was reported from
Germany, and indications were the
French would be more lenient than
had been reported in the matter of
q loan.
However, as the day wore on, the
French views on a long term loan
for the Reich took on a different
hue. The German government. ac-
cording to Paris dispatches, would
be forced to renew the Young plan
payments on expiration of the one
year moratorium. In addition
France was planning to ask many
political guarantees.
Situation Is Grave
The situation took on a graver
aspect when President Hoover or
dered Ambassador Dawes to Lon
don to attend the conferences to
reconcile the Hoover moratorium to
the Young plan.
The German mark was improved
In foreign exchange trading here,
but the pound sterling reacted while
the French franc held steady. Ger
man bonds rose in early dealings,
but lost their gains later. Cotton
and grains worked lower on domes-
tic markets.
According to preliminary calcu-
lations, the Dow Jones & Co. in
dustrial average advanced 81 point
to 1921, rail average advanced lisa
points to 1915 and utility average
was up "a point at So. Sales to-
tailed 100000 shares compared with
