LOUISVILLE, May 8. -
Nineteen colts and one flly
were entered today for the
fifty-eighth running of the
Kentucky Derby Saturday.
The entry list was surprise,
with several horses entered
which had not been consid-
cred even in the list of doubt
full starters before today.
The unexpected entries we're the
Long Ridge stables Oscillation, a
FLY; j. B. Respess' Our Fancy, Ray
mond Whites Crystal Prince and
George Collins Thistle Ace.
At least five scratches are ex-
pected from the field before post
time Saturday, reducing the star
ers to fifteen. The doubtful start
ers are Crystal Prince, Oscillation,
Our Fancy, Gee Tee and Cathop.
Universe, T. M. CaSsidy's winner
Of the Wood Memorial, was not
among the entries. He has bruised
foreleg.
Overtime Is No.
The Iona stables Tick On, the ia
vorite, drew post position No. 6,
with Mrs. John H. Whitney's Over
time on one side Of him and Adobe
Post, owned by Knebelkamp and
Morris, on the other.
Stepenfetchit, Mrs. John H.
Whitneys ace, drew post position
No. 4, and might be moved up next
to the rail if Crystal Prince, Oscll-
lation and Our Fancy are scratched.
The Bahr starting gate, from
which the Derby field will be sent
on the mile and a quarter journey,
has only fourteen stalls, but addi-
tional stalls can be added TO take
care of up to eighteen starters. If
more than eighteen go TO the post,
the odd two will have to start from
outside the gate.
The most significant item of the
starting field announcement was
the inclusion of the Three DIS stock
farms Liberty Limited. Because
of his failure to respond fully to
training, opinion among turfmen
here had been sharply divided as
TO the chances of Liberty Limited
entering the classic.

Prospects for a clear day and fast

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York. Sept. 17.-(Pl-Tnc spec
llativc temperature cooled several de-
grees this week but business appeared
to be making progress toward the
seasonal tops which would normally
be reached about month hence.
Declines predominatcd in the Sc
curity and commodity markets and at
times there was heavy selling in come
directions. Stocks found that waver-
ing tendencies apparent in the pre-
vious week ana signalled sharper
let-dcWn and that the expected
technical reaction" had at last ar
rived Bonds tended lower, although
trading there was generally quiet and
declines Of consequence occurred
mostly in secondary categories.
Stock market averages showed that
slightly more than third of the sum-
rner advance had been surrendered at
the weeks lows. which was regarded
by brokers as conservative correc-
ton considering recent gains. Trad
ing became m NC h quieter in later
sessions-a development that cncour-
aged the bulls-and evidence of sup
port for leading issues was not lack
ing.
The week saw publication of more
favorable electric power figures. a
small rise in steel production, contin-
ued improvement by retail and
Wholesale trade, gain in New York
state factory employment figures and
a bullish cotton consumption report
l.. also seemed probable that the La
Dor Day let-down in freight car load
ings had been less than year. ago.
Thus on balance the business news
created a generally cheerful impress
sion.

CURTIS ADHERES TO
COOPERATIVE IDEA
Vice Presidential Candidate On.
ems Campaign With Penn
syIvania Talk

Fogelsville, Pa, Sept. 17.-(PeEs-
Establishment of a national cooperative
system for farm marketing to reduce
the price spread between producer
and consumer was proposed Saturday
by Vice President Curtis.
In his opening campaign speech
here at the inaugural of the Pennsyl-
vania Republican drive, Curtis, in his
prepared address, devoted himself al
most entirely to agriculture and the
tariff.
Twice he referred to Governor
Roosevelt's farm speech in Curtis
home town-Topeka, Kansas. The
vice president closed with the state
ment:
THE gradual revival Of business
throughout the country is the best
evidence that confidence is gradually
being restored. This is due to the
splendid work and great ability Of our
president, Herbert Hoover"
After making his own proposal for
a national cooperative system, Curtis
said:
Il have not commented upon Gov
ernor Roosevelt's farm relief plan
because he has submitted none-he
refers to several plans that have been
discussed for years and then leaves
them for further discussion"
Curtis outlined his own plan in
these words:
while this problem agricultural
has not been and should not be par
tisan. yet the Republican party wishes
to solve it and is anxious to bring the
farmer into situation of equality
with industry. One Of the problems
is to reduce the spread between what
the producer on the farm receives
and what the ultimate consumer pays
for such products. Another is to pro-
vide the farmers better marketing
facilities.
Il have for years believed a ma
tional cooperative system would help
solve the problem and I still believe
such a system, properly organized and
conducted, would enable the farmer
to get better price for his products
and at the same time do no injury
to those who deal honestly in the
buy;rg and selling of farm products
while protecting the farmer against
those who will not give him a square
deal"

Tribune's Grain, Livestock and
Market Report for Sat-, Sept. II
GRAIN TRADE LEANS
TO SELLING SIDE AS
WHEAT SINKS BACK
Market At Chicago influenced
By Easier Tone of Secur-
tiles and Cotton

Chicago, Sept. 17-(P)-Grain trad
ers leaned to the selling side Sat-
urday. influenced by an easier tone
in securities and cotton.
Export demand for wheat was
slack. Belief was expressed, however,
that Europe would be good buyer
if North American markets showed
stability next week.
Wheat closed unsettled, at the
same as Fridays finish to IA to 3-8
higher, Sept. old 40 7-8, Dec. So 1-8
to IA. Corn IL to IL down, Sept.
q 10, Dec. % 3-8 to ID. Oats a
shade to 1-8 to IA off, and provi-
sions unchanged to 5 cents decline.
Acting as a drag on wheat values
were continued staggering receipts
reported at Winnipeg, 2,431 cars Sat-
urday, against 1903 a week ago and
573 at this time last year. Another
bearish factor was an official report
that domestic use of wheat during
the 1928 season promised to be
about 660000,00O bushels, compared
to 723,OOO,OOO in 1892. The report
said whatever improvement in worlds
wheat prices had taken place the last
two months must be attributed to
ether reasons than to changes in the
supply situation.
Wheat held within unusually mar
row price limits the greater part of
the day. Numerous good-sized ord
ers both to buy and sell were execut-
ed around So cents for December
without affecting values to any great
extent. Later the market dipped
somewhat, owing to weakness in cot
ton and stocks. Corn and oats were
influenced by cable advices that
Danubian offers were materially be-
low u. S. corn.
Provisions duplicated stcadiness of
hog values.
