Big EXPORTS OF
GRAIN INCREASE
PRICE OF WHEAT
Demand From Both y. S. and
Canada Is Heavy; Domin-
ion Crop Damaged

Chicago, Oct. 16.-R)-Persistent
strength displayed by wheat prices
Friday accompanied estimates that
North American export buying in the
last week had totaled 100000 BUSH
els.
Fridays purchasing of wheat for
shipment overseas from Canada and
the United States was figured at L.
soc, 900 bushels. Much damp and
tough grain was reported as being
marketed in Canada.
Wheat closed firm, ss-S cents
higher. Dec. 501s-ss, May 54A-7s,
corn h-ss up, Dec. 35A-ss. May $685.
y. Oats unchanged to AS advance,
and provisions unchanged to Is cents
off.
Opening A-T cents up, wheat af-
terward held near the initial limits.
Corn started unchanged to Il advance
but subsequently reacted.
New export wheat purchases In
cluded takings of United States hard
winter grades as we'll as Canadian.
Liverpool dispatches told OF better
inquiry from millers and said Argen
tine acreage was the smallest since
l923-24. Chicago exporters asserted
United States wheat. both at the Gull
of Mexico and Atlantic ports was now
cheaper than Argentine wheat. a
notable circumstance in view Of high
quality of United States wheat and
low quality of Argentine.
Complaints Of serious deficiency OF
moisture in Argentine were handi-
cap to wheat bears. It was pointed
out that the Argentine crop had
reached a stage where questions o1
seasonal rainfall were important
Relative weakness of corn was as.
cribed to favorable weather for fielc
work and cribbing. Oats followed
corn.
Provisions were firm owing to lacl
! Of selling pressure.

II NEGRO
TELLS OFFICER
Killer of San Benitan Is
Taken From County
Jail BY Ranger

Making himself eligible for cap
ital punishment rather than a four
year term in the boys reformatory.
Harold Whitaker. alias Jimmy
Miller, confessed killer OF James
Dabney Thompson Of San Benito.
changed his confession Tuesday.
stating that he was IL on Sept. IA.
In his original statement taken
shortly after his capture near
Falfurrias Saturday afternoon. the
negro youth asserted he was Is
years OF age. Had he kept to this
statement and proved It. the most
he would have been eligible for
would have been four years in the
boys reformatory.
Under his new statement he will
be charged as an adult and tried
on a straight charge OF murder. In
such event ID would be possible for
him TO draw a death sentence for
the death of the San Benito man.
Shortly after making the new
statement at the Cameron county
Jail Tuesday morning. rangers un-
der Capt. Albert Mace spirited the
youth away. It Is presumed they
were taking him to Corpus Christi
for s~afekeeping. This was done to
forestall any attempt at mob vio-
lence.
