GRAIN FUTURES
MOVE OFF ON
WEAK CABLES
Lower Liverpool Market
Turns Sentiment to
Bear Side.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press Staf Correspondent

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-Failure of
Liverpool to respond to the advance
made here late Wednesday weak
ened the wheat market as the
Board of Trade opened today. Prices
were of only fractionally at the
start.
The English market later hrmed
up on the unsettled weather on the
continent. Stocks were firm and
cotton sharply higher, but these had
no effect at the start. Corn was
off with wheat with conditions 9TH
erwise unchanged. Oats again took
their cue from the dominant grains.
Statistics Are Bearish
At the opening wheat was un-
changed to Il cent lower, corn was
unchanged to 70 cent of and oats
we're unchanged to Il cent down.
Provisions were slow with bellies de-
Ginning further.
Liverpool was weaker than ex-
pected, but showed Is cent higher
at mid-afternoon. Wheat is expect
ed to hold around the present levels
for the present, with support ap-
pearing on recessions, as has been
the case for the last week. Statis-
tics are beariSt, but the cheapnesS
Of wheat and the prospects of for
eign buying as soon as the financial
situation over there is more settled
is tending to strengthen the resist
ance. The domestic cash strength
is surprising.
Corn Trade Uneven
Corn has been performing in an
cratic manner for some time. Late
news Oh the crop has been unfa-
vorable and the weather is turning
warm, parts of South Dakota re-
porting temperatures of 102 degrees
Wednesday. There is fear of an
other hot wave spreading over the
belt, and the reference made in
the government weekly report
Wednesday to damage in Iowa and
the northwest is discouraging sell
ers.
Oats are beginning to show re-
siStance to pressure. The crop is
not large and there is much light
weight oats being harvested. Farm
ers are holding their grain, owing
to the cheapness, ~ and this is
a further strengthening factor.

SHAKESPEARE
ship WILL BE
BUILT IN EAST

AVALON. Catalina Island, Cal,
June Il. Ur)-An experimental
model of a combination dirigible
and airplane, which is expected by
its inventor to be able to navigate
successfully through the stratos-
phere. will be built at q plant IN
Tennessee. Captain John Hodgedon
announced today.
Capt. Hodgedon, whose work has
come to the notice Of the war de-
rartment. will leave next week for
Tennessee to work on the new
model in collaboration with George
Hardin.
The inventor did not reveal where
the "stratosphere ship would be
constructed.
The house military committee at
washington has asked for a report
on his invention, Capt. Hodgedon
stated.
The small model ne has complet-
ed here has a dirigible body with
short airplane wings protruding on
each side. There are five adjusta-
bic propellors. They are situated
as follows: one at the nose of the
snip. one on each wing and one on
each rear fin.
A sealed cabin, built into the bot
tom of the bag, will make it posi-
bic for people to fly through the
rarified space known as the stratos-
phere.
The wings on the ship are ex-
pected to give the dirigible the pro-
per poise required for navigation in
the upper regions while the propel-
lors would give the pilots proper
control Of the ships course and in
bringing the craft back to earth,
Hc1gedon said.
The first model of the "stratos-
phere ship" was made by Hodgedon
with the assistance Of the Hamilton
Junior Highscnool Aviation club at
Long Beach.

 SEEK DELEGATES THROUGH SOUTH
They Believe With These States They Can Make the Denomination of Hoover Almost Certain

V
 Washington. April 9,-(UP)~-The south has become the national po- iitical battle-ground at this early stage Of the 1882 presidential oam- paign.
 For the first time siEca the Civil war, the national leaders of both parties are eentering their political activities below the Mason Dixon line,
 Two factors have combined to give the land of cotton a decisive political influence.
 First is the prohibition dispute in the democratic party. which has served 10 keep open the wounds of the last campaign when President Hoover broke the democratic soli- darity of that section for the first time
 Republicans are going on the ns- sumption that the '32 election Is go- ing to be n close fight At this early date they see their best chance of winning lies in repeating their am preeedented victories in Virginia. Florida, North Carolina and Texas. :. They hope to gain other southern States if the democratic split con- tinues,
 An unusual republican appeal to southern citizens was delivered over the radio here last night by Rob crt II. Lucas, executive director Of the republican national committee.
 The second factor involves il more immediate questiOn--thc selection of delegates to the next republican nn- tionai conventoin If the fight k less conspicuous on the surface. 1t is no less important than the tussle bee ween the parties for possession of the southland.
 Politicians here generally agree that unless strong bloc of south- ern delegates is organized against Mr Hoover his nomination Is as- sured. The two republican lead CTS who organized the south for him in 1928. Colonel Horace Mann and Ciaudius Huston. are reported to be actively roundindg up delegates against him. Mann is known to be leading an anti-Hoover movement openly in southern republican cir- cies,
