Grain Market

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 16. Wheat slid
down early today to a fresh low price
record for the season. Liverpool re-
ported that Canadian and Argentine
offerings were cheaper, and that for the
first time in a considerable period
Liverpool wheat stocks showed an in
crease.
Opening 1s-5s cents of, wheat after
ward held near to the initial limits.
Corn started unchanged co " up and
subsequently displayed little change.
A material enlargement Of wheat on
ocean passage was announced with the
total af1oat now 56,040,000 bushels,
against 38,496,000 year ago. World
shipments for the week exceeded expec-
tations, and North America furnished
less than during the week previous or
at this time last year. Montreal ad-
vices said it was assured that st. Law
renee River navigation this season
would have the earliest opening ever
known. Elevator space at Duluth was
reported as beginning to clog.
Chicago arrivals of corn, I'll cars,
were larger than either a week or a
year back. Spectators sold, and the
market receded after being flrmer at
the start. Stocks of grain at Kansas
City were reported as the largest on
record. Oats were easier, responsive to
downturns of corn and wheat.
Owing to absence of selling pressure
provisions held about steady, despite

wages and salaries for 1890 amounted
to 1891 ,271 1866, against $500, 1881 in
1929.
In connection with employment the
report to stockholders says: THE en-
ployes in service represent the equivalent
number working full time during the
entire year, not necessarily that that
number of individuals work such fuil
time. A considerable number OF in
dividual employees worked only part time
in both years. In 1880 this number was
much larger than in 1929.
with the substantial decrease in
operations during the second half Of
the year and inability to give full-time
service to all, the subsidiary companies
adopted the plan of staggering such
employment as was available, thus CIV
ing to nearly all who looked to the sub
salaries for their steady occupation a
ratable portion of such total employ
ment as could be offered.
This plan afforded a fair degree of
occupation of virtually all of the en-
ployes in question and resulted in giving
certain measure of service to a much
larger number of individuals than is in
dictated by the totals of the full-time
employees"
Decline in Prices.
Referring 10 the year S operations, the
report, signed by j. P. Morgan, chair
man, and James A. Farrell, president,
said that "the continued lessening de-
mand during the year for products was
accompanied with a substantial decline
in prices secured. These decreases
in prices account for reduction of
approximately $4,000 900 of the total
reduction Of sos, 128,700 in the new
earnings realized in 1880 compared with
1929. At the close of 1880 prices then
being secured were somewhat less than
the average received, but apparel to be
quite well STABILIZED. with a slight adj
vancing tendency to an improved pros
pective demand"

The |. S. Coast Guard Cutter Northland, Captain E. D. Jones in Command, arrived at Nome about l PM today, after an uneventful trip. A large foe of pack ice was encountered some 60 miles distant and about 20 miles from Nome a smaller amount of ice which was more or less broken up and was apparently Norton Sound or riv- FeY ice.
 The NorthIand made a short stop at Nunivak Island, but found the place practically vacated, as the natives were out fishing halibut. Paul Ivanoff was on the island and no sickness was reported. The North land will probably sail in the morn ing for St. Lawrence Island or St. Michael, and return here again soon.

WASHINGTON, June I, P)- The administration expects the ma tinnal debt to be increased by five hundred million. dollars, and the treasury deficit to be d total of 9 hundred and fifty million dollars, at the close of this fiscal year, June 30th.

ncminy Of being found out. That
is why they are tried for evasion
of the income tax, in place Of
more sinister things. That is why
nothing is said in the evidence Of
any criminal doings. 1t Is all
very refined. The state is finding
out that Capone is a millionaire
and, being utterly too genteel to
inquire how those millions were
made, prosecuteS him for not Civ.
ing the state its proper share.
Radiates Magnetism
If it had not been for the dark
figure of Capone, sitting in the
center Of the court with his gun
man D'Andrea at his elbow, the
trial, which already has dragged
on for a week, would be as dull as
a legal wrangle between tradesmen.
Only the consciousness that this
trivial charge is a desperate sub
Stitute for something else electri.
fies the court and makes the jury
consider every bit Of expenditure
evidence as if it were bloodStainS
and fingerprints.
Capone himself emanates a
mysterious kind of magnetism
that keeps the trial alive. It is
impossible to ignore it. I came
to the opening with my mind
quite rigidly set against the man
whose criminal operations have
spread a net Of terror and vice
over Chicago. Now, after sitting
for q week within range Of his
ingenious smile and ingratiating
glance, I have to confess to a
fellow feeling. understand now
what is the cause of the roman
tic-dangerous legend that can
grow up round a thug.
Gilbert And SuIlivaniah
Considering that Capone is
Chicago's arch-enemy, the charge
testimony against him Is pure Gil
bert and Sullivan. Hours daily
are spent in telling the jury how
much he spends On meat, cakes,
and flowers. It all goes to prove
the important point that Al
Capone is well able to pay income
tax, and 50 is doubtless Of great
value.
But I have wondered when AL
turned his chair round q little
and whispered into D'Andrea's
ear and they both chuckled llr1-
der their hands, whether the two
gangsters were seeing the joke Of
the business.
