Grain Market
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. Grain prices
showed an early upward trend today
influenced by stock market advances
and by results of last nights White
House conference. Profit taking sales
on bulges however, checked the adj
vance and notice was taken that LiV-
erpool wheat quotations were up less
than expected.
Opening unchanged TO IA cents
higher, the Chicago Wheat Market aft
erward held near the initial limits
Corn started at a shade decline to x
advance and subsequently continued
firm.
For at least the time being. most
wheat traders appeared content TO re-
gard Yesterdays advance of 2i2 cents
a bushel as having largely discounted
beforehand the immediate effect OF the
new setbacks from todays fresh adj
vanceS were largely confined to frac-
tions of a cent much Of the day, with
the market steadying at but little below
yesterdays top level Continued slow
ness of export demand for North
American wheat, however, acted as
somewhat of a drag on values.
A further handicap to wheat bulls
was word Of a slight increase Of Argen-
tine planting as compared with pre-
liminary forecasts. One explanation OF
laggard action of the Liverpool wheat
market today was thatsTeceipts in Great
Britain were too large to justify much
advance. On the other hand, primary
domestic receipts of wheat toda"
showed a decided falling of both as
against last week and year ago. Corn
and oats sWayed with wheat.
Provisions responded to upturns in
hog values

ATCHISON DIVIDEND.

NEW YORK, October 7 (SpeciaD.-
The significance Of declaration OF the
regular quarterly dividend on Atchison
common stock was seen by Wall Street
as an indication not only that. there
were still strong sections of the railroad
world, but a reflection of the opinion
of leading banking group. 1t came at.
just the right time to change sentiment
not only on the rails. but on many other
individual stocks that had been depressed
much below their real values. The ac-
ton of the Atchison directors in grant

NATIONAL DAIRY PRODUCTS.

NEW YORK, October (SpcciaD -
Another important dividendmectingt this
week is that of National Dairy Products
directors, which comes on Thursday.
The stock, like many others. suggests
smaller rate in its current price. This
is no criterion of what directors may
feel they should do with their earnings.
Best information is that the regular
dividend of 81 60 a share will be main
tanned. as earnings for the eight months
to August 81 are in excess of the -
months requirements. The company has
S23 900 900 in cash. 1t has been af-
fected by smaller sales Of its products
and especially by the falling off of de-
mand for milk and ice cream.

Mems STYLES Show New Interest Now For Spring .
Much Color In Mems Wear

Color is the crux of fashioning in
haberdashery this spring. And be-
cause men are going in stronger
than ever for distinctive effects
those who are now designing men IS
styles are deeply invading such
realms of color as heretofore were
exclusively feminine.
We see considerable attention be-
ing given to softer, warmer shades
and the more exotic pastel tones.
But while men are stepping out
with more color emphasis they are
tempering the trend with more sub
dued patterning.
In the shirts more stripes of neat
er design are shown than in any
previous season and small, inobtru-
sive figured and lowered designs
make up patterns where patterns
are used at all, for this spring plain
color shirts in white and pastel
effects are exceedingly fashionable.
The collar-to-m shirts will
still emphasize smart patterns but
bold stripes and heroic effects have
no part in the style scheme of this
season. These collar-to- match
shirts are showing less depth of tab
to the collar, in fact on most OF the
better lines the New York collar
with a short turn either acute or
slightly rounded is the thing.
The long tab collars are being re-
served for the collar-attached shirts
and even in these the tabs are not
nearly SO deep as heretofore. But
tondown collars are also well set in
the summer vogue. Few pleated
bosom shirts are shown. The very
Imperial Valley press., 1931-03-04

Startling news may be found in
the endeavor OF the shoe manufac-
turers to dress up mans feet in
colorS. Heretofore colored foot
wear or combinations of color was
limited to the summer months. but
II the propaganda bears fruit lnt's
all look for a more colorful spring
than ever. In other words we should
wear color from spring through
summer and until fall. if the max
erS drive is successful one.
Such combinations as blacks and
whites, browns and whites, and
other two-toned effects are being
shown in great number than at
any time in footwear history. This
is probably the continuation of
their popularity in the Florida re-
sorts of last winter.
Then, too, there will be white
buckskins and most interesting

Tones In Mems Shoes

combinations of suedes and calf
skins. And if the ensemble idea is
completely carried out Mr.. Man
promises to be a gay old bird" this
season.
Shoe dealers are pointing to
record sports wear season. And
they've prepared for it as never
before. with greater varieties and
earliest presentations than in any
previous year.
Noticeable in these sports shoes
are sharp contrasts and monotone
effect. These are employed in wing
tip and quarter types of footwear
The tips, according to a review of
this footwear, swing lower and mar
rover toward the quarter line, CIV
ing the shoe much more pleasing
effect than in the past.
Imperial Valley press., 1931-03-04
Bags
Essential

Bags are an integral part OF any
costume and since modern indus
try provides the proper bag for any
occasion there is no excuse for
Madam carrying the wrong one.
This seasons bags are OF linen,
kid, MORE, tapestry, shantung and
silk crepe. A wide selection OF color
also is a feature of the mode.
The ensemble idea prevails here
also Bags, shoes and hat should
match, especially for sports.
Sea sand is one of the prevailing
colors and many of the bags are
washable.
Embossed leather envelopes and
pouch bags are to be had in blue
glory, beach sand, PLACE fleurie, gull
grey and cricket green as well as IN
brown, black and white.
Bags are silk lined with secret
pockets and come in the new fab
RIGS
Imperial Valley press., 1931-03-04
Contrasts In
Newer Styles

To begin with, the newest note
this summer is contrast, smart
preposterous combinations of fab
RIGS and colors A plain colored
little jacket over a printed dress.
A plaid collar and belt with
black dress. A dark-colored jacket
with a striped skirt Accessories
carefully selected to be an accent
ing note.
The frock with separate jacket
in variety of forms is a leading
fashion and there is nothing more
suitable or becoming for a smart
day in town, nothing more practi-
cal and dignified for the office
hours of business woman.
There are silk frocks with match
ing Jackets, printed frocks with
plain jackets, skirt and jacket with
contrasting blouse, all equally fash
ion right.
Imperial Valley press., 1931-03-04
Variety In
Suits

Tweeds for men are a dominating
fabric calling for smart two-tone
patternings of new color combina-
tions. In the flat fabrics such as
cheviots and cassimeres the Glen
Urquhart plaid effects are leading
patterns. Also being shown are
very smart checks these being in
shepherd, tartan and houndstooth
patternings in black and white,
black and grey, brown and white,
tan and white, blue and grey and
other tasty combinations.
Flannels are coming in for much
attention IN the spring styles almost
entirely in vertical patterns OF mar
row and broken stripes such as BAN
jo, cable, pencil, chalk line and clus-
ter stripes. These flannels are chief
ly in navy and powder blues, slate
and light greys and few tan
shades.
Worsteds both in the hard and
soft finished varieties are also in the
edicts. The hard finished worsteds
are mostly in inobtrusive patterns
appealing to the most conservative
ideas of business men. Soft finished
worSteds are shown in many novel;
ty treatments. A new mixture IN
these is termed "dusted blue .
which is a combination of blue and
tan yarns interviewer.
Many Shades Shown
The more colorful tone of the
spring suits is due to predominance
of light greys, greens and grey
green's; more vivid blues, lighter
shades of tans and liberal sprink-
lings of reds and puppies in the de-
velopment of pattern effects. Even
where dark shades are used you see
them in warmer tones OF those
shades. For instance browns run
largely to henna tones; maroons run
more toward wine and purple tends
toward burgundy cast.
Peak Lapels Are Prominent
An outstanding tendency in the
suits is the increasing popularity of
the peak model which is always
more decided, expressive and youth
full effect than the notch lapel which
has held practically supreme in the
past two seasons.
Understand The notch lapel has
not retired in disorder or in broken
ranks. 1t still obtains as a leading
suit effect, but the peak comes forth
with SO much momentum and is
being SO eagerly accepted by the
younger men that becomes signifi-
cant and important.
Imperial Valley press., 1931-03-04
Knitted Wear
Highly Favored

Plain pastels as we'll as staple
shades i'll knitted materials stand
high in milady's favor for sports
wear this season.
Combinations of colors are new
feature of the knitted costumes
with white appearing as a predom-
mating color to be mingled with
other shades.
Fancy knitS in shell weaves and
other novelty weaves of the less ex-
pensive type will prove delight to
every woman.
These come in both two and three
piece suits.
Imperial Valley press., 1931-03-04

dressy shirt for early spring wear
is a demi-bosom with collar, cuffs
and half bosom in pattern and the
balance of the shirt in solid con-
trasting tone. Polo shirts will re-
turn as the season advances into
summer.
Smarter Neckwear and Hosiery
The mode in neckwear is also
toward small patterns. Neat con-
ventional effects, modest floral de-
signs. polka dots, geometric effects
and small cluster stripes. Then, too,
there will be a lot of solid colors
worn this summer with the solid
color shirts referred to above. These
solid colors are chiefly in pastel
shades and vivid primary colors. The
principal textures in ties this spring
will be the foulards, poplins, repps,
twills and various novelty Weaves.
Bow ties are gaining favor with
the more sedate dressers. These are
in neat polka dots and small figures
and will be worn to some extent
with the demi-boSom shirts and also
by golfers.
In hosiery vertical patterns take
precedence over the all-over or sur
rounding patterns. Solid tones and
mixtures with a contrasting clock
are very fashionable. Well placed
in the edicts also are the neat clus-
ter stripes, changeable patterns and
small checks or minute embroidered
treatments. Dark colors will be very
little worn except as foundation ef-
fects for lighter contrasting treat
mentS.
Imperial Valley press., 1931-03-04
Furs Popular

Fashion forecasts a season of
rare popularity for the fur jacket,
and some very intriguing furs are
used. Ben Beckman, proprietor of
Beckman's, declared yesterday
Ermine. moleskin. muskrat, lapin
and caracul are some of the flirS
which are used for jackets, Beck
man said.
There are many new styles, all
of which are going to play a big
part in enhancing the feminine cos
tune this spring" he declared
Among these are the foxes, red
and white, and other new shades
as well. Stone marten, sable and
canary marten are also coming in
for their share Of popularity"
Imperial Valley press., 1931-03-04

Polo coats will be fitted as before,
but a new detail has been added,
or rather, omitted, namely, the belt.
The light tans remain predominant,
with white and very light egg
shell added to the list.
