Corn, Oats Move Up With
Major Grain; Cash
Tone Strong.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press StaR Correspondent

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-Wheat had
a sharp upward squirt as the Board
of Trade opened today on the ir-
regular but stronger stock market
and the rally in sterling.
Liverpool came lower but the rally
in sterling offset the lows, unfa-
vorable Argentine weather being
offset by a smaller demand. The
rise in wheat gave corn and oats a
show of strength and fractional
gains.
AT the opening wheat was z to
rs cents higher; corn was un-
changed to Is cent higher, and oats
5 cent up. Provisions were weak.
Liverpool was much lower than
expected, showing = to l pence low
er at mid-afternoon, but this was
equal to % to q cent higher due to
the higher exchange. The market
ing by the farmers is at a low ebb
and strengthens the cash market.
Corn is ruling without new or
striking news to influence the trend
either way. Receipts at all primary
points have been small. The weather
is colder over the belt today. with
SHOWS, rains and, in Pike county,
Indiana. floods.
Oats are selling higher in Iowa
than at Chicago, a most unusual
situation Cash houses are active
buyers of futures on dips. Mar
keting is small with cash ruling
steady to strong.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA furry
OF short covering sent the stock
market soaring today, but the rise
was short-lived, and around noon
the market had settled back below
the previous closing levels.
Steel common, which had risen to
452s, fell back to 425s, off 13s. Other
industrials went through similar
contortions.
For a time volume was heavy.
When shorts became frightened the
tickers were behind 2 minutes.
Around noon the tape was coming
out at the pace Of recent markets.
At that time the list registered
losses Of fracions to points.
Several issues Of the industrial
group resisted selling pressure, but
utilities we're under pressure. Rails
declined more slowly than indus
trials, despite further selling in rail-
road bonds, carrying them to new
record low levels.
A feature was American Express,
which has not been out in some
time. It sold at 9915, off exactly
1907 points from the previous close.
Mexican Petroleum, another inact-
i've issue, sold at 81, off 43 points.
Earlier this year Mexican Pete hit
I'll.
Among the issues to resist pres
sure were American Can, Case, Du
Pont, Union Pacific and Western
Union.
Among the new lows in addition
to Steel common were Paramount,
Standard Brands, Columbia Gas,
United Gas improvement, Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, Missouri Kansas
Texas preferred, New Haven, Chi
cago 8J Northwestern, Nickel Plate
and Allegheny Corporation.

In the Cotton Markets
INV Thomson q McKinnonl

NEW YORK, Dec. N.-The cot
ton market opened or 4 points
lower. The tone was steady the
first hour. The trade journals car
ried the same story of quiet good
markets.
The slight advance in cotton we
have experienced in the last few
days may be nothing more than
short covering, or on the other hand
it may be that the trade has be-
gun to heed the difference between
actual and New York contracts.
1t has occurred at time when
security prices were declining, and
It is to be hoped that we have in
1t a sign that cotton is to act in
dependently in the future.
Even if we were not friendly to
the market we would feel thet just
at present a short sale is too
heavily handicapped to be under
taken.

So SAILORS PERISH
italian Tug Goes Down in
Storm Swept Sea.
By United Press

By United Press
SPEztA, Italy, Dec. 14.-Thirty-
six Italian sailors, among them men
coming home on Christmas leave,
were believed drowned today in the
loss of the sea tug Teseo, 1,500-ton
vessel.
The Teseo, used ordinarily for
salvage work, carried a crew of
seventy, plus seventy-six sailors, on
their way home for Christmas.
The cruiser Trieste and the scout
ship Ancano answered her S o S
when she was caught in fierce gale
off Sardinia, but the cruiser could
not get alongside due to heavy seas.
The Acano took off ITO men. The
Teseo sank rapidly, and the rescue
ships were forced to stand off while
doomed seamen threw themselves
into the sea, struggling vainly to
reach safety.
