DULL SESSION
Selling at Close Erases

Corn Stronq.
BY HAROLD E. RAINY E
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-Corn showed
great strength on the Board OF
Trade today and, with cats, prices
ran up sarply. A bullish report
from Iowa and a report on Ne
nraSkaS condition as 81 per cent
compared TO 81 several weeks ago
brought in good buying. There was
liberal profit-taking sales on the
rise and the market lost the gain
to close lower.
oats were strong with corn, with
the good cas- hdemand an aid, and
closed about steady. Wheat
took of the strength in the coarse
grains, but was held back by bear
iSh reports from abroad, finishing
lower.
Close OFF FractionaIIy
AT the close, wheat was i to J.,
cent lower, corn was unchanged to
4 cent lower and oats were I'M
changed to Is cent lower. Provi-
sionS were very strong.
Liverpool firmed toward the close
and finished 4 to y cent HIGHER.
Frost was reported in several sec
tons of Canada but it had no other
effect than to steady Winnipeg.
Prices were up fractionally at mid
morning. Cash prices were UNI
changed to l cent higher Receipts
were IS cars.
Corn Stages Rally
Selling on the heavy rains gave
corn as uncertain start but when
reports from Iowa indicated that
much corn had been blown down,
the market staged a good rally and
ran up q to q cent by mid-session.
The country was a good buyer and
the cash market active. Cash prices
were Y to IL cents higher. Re-
ceipts were SO cars.
Oats were largely steady. A frac-
tional rise in sympathy with corn
and on the strength in the cash
market put prices up Il to Is cent
at mid-morning. Cash prices were
Il to l cent higher. Receipts were
40 cars.

MOTHERS and others who cater to
AVA the needs and whims of the
younger generation declare a growing
interest in fashions on the part of
the little folks Of the present day,
Since the little ladies of our land with
true feminine instinct are making it
so clearly understood that they have
their own definite ideas about what to
wear. it brings it up to those who have
to do with creating juvenile modes to
live up to the expectations of these
now-so-sophisticated youngsters.
A -our of the juvenile speciality
shops and departments is most graft
flying in this respect, for the fall and
winter collections there displayed are
without doubt as attractive as prac-
teal and as versatile as creative
genius can devise.
The reaction to this demand of the

tunately, this is not an extravaganza,
for in many of the shops it is possible
to purchase cloth frocks-plus fur

most frequently used.

is worn. the coat is usually shaped
slightly at the waistline, although
some coats are cut with real raglan

good, as is logwood brown Alaskan

Pure dye fabrics woven of 1t such as
the crepe which fashions this cunning
frock combine durability with beauty.
Note the soft-tied bow of self fabric
and the novel yoke effect which are
details quite of the same type as those
which give distinction to grown-up
models this season. The coat with its
matching hat is made of hand-woven
bemberg and wool in red and white,

mesh which Is so fashionable at pres

favor not only with professional de-
signers of children's frocks. but moth
ers who are fabric-wise and who sew
for their little ones are especially en-
thusiastic over the merits of weaves
of this type, since they launder per-

The matter of color is very Inn

the choice running from either very
dark rich tones such as the popular
wine tones, deep green's and bright
