Thomas and Jack Dormer put on a

turned out that the act was far too
realistic to suit them.
Thinking to surround themselves

But when it came time to take the

After searching the entire studio,
they finally went to the police sta

WHEAT SELLS
OFF IN WEAK
TRADE RANCE
Bunched Orders Send
Values Down in Early
Deals; Corn Dips.
BL HAROLD 4. RAINvILLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-An assort-
1Aent Of overnight selling orders
caused fractional decline in wheat
as the Board of Trade opened today.
The deferred months equaled their
lows for the season. However,
stocks were firm, although very dull
and Liverpool was strong with de-
mand stimulated by the break in
the exchange.
Corn was about steady but July
set a new low on a small dip. Oats
was steady but rye was easy with
May equaling its low.
Opening Is Weak
At the opening wheat was I'M
changed to q cent lower, corn was
unchanged to u cent lower, cats
unchanged to \ cent lower and rye
was a to u cent lower. Provisions
were dull.
Liverpool opened lower, coinci-
dent with the further decline in
sterling, but recovered to stand a
to q cent off at mid-afternoon.
The market lacks leadership ano,
real constructive factors. The I'M
certainty over the election and the
future trend Of business is respon-
sible for the narrowness Of the
trade.
Nothing has appeared to cause a
decisive move either way. Most
operators believe that American
prices must decline to an export
level to reduce the large United
States supplies.
Corn Supplies Large
1t was understood that 100000
bushels of corn were worked for
export Monday, in addition to an
other 100000 bushels sold to domes-
tic buyers. The amounts sold for
export during the last week were
very large, and in this lies the hopes
Of steady prices, in the opinion Of
the bull element. However, sup
plies are the largest for this sea-
son for flfty-two years, with one
exception.
Oats is holding perilously close to
the seasons lows. Trade is slow
with little incentive to activity on
either side. Rye is slightly more
active, responding more freely to
the action in wheat.

EARLY BEER
FACES FIGHT
Protracted Dispute Over
Alcoholic Content Looms
in Short Session.
BY LYLE C. WILSON
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Dry
leaders today promised battle to
defeat the wet drive for beer in the
short session Of congress.
The forces concerned acknowl-
edged that the jubilant wet slogan,
beer by Christmas" represents an
objective practically unobtainable.
But the new congress, which
meets next year overwhelmingly is
wet, as well as Democratic.
The dispute over beer is whether
it shall be legalized this winter or
next year.
Drys count on their phalanx of
lame duck prohibitionists to block
short session beer bills.
Long Dispute Predicted
The congress which meets next
month was dry by large majorities
in both houses on beer votes last
session.
House and senate Democratic
leaders, however, promise immediate
beer in conformity with the Demo-
cratic platform pledge. VETS of
both parties are eager to cooperate
to modify the Volstead act at once.
But the prospect is for bitter, pro-
tracted dispute.
Among hitherto dry Democrats
there is doubt about the alcoholic
content which would be consistent
with the eighteenth amendment.
Senators and congressman re-
plying to Geographic United Press
inquiries reflected all shades of pro-
hibition opinion.
The divergence Of their views
demonstrated the certainty of sharp
