STEADY TREND
is FEATURE OF
GRAIN MARKET
Approaching Holiday Holds
Down Trade in All
Options.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Grain trad
ing was at standstill on the Board
of Trade and other North Amer
lean markets today. Prices drifted
lazily in narrow range around the
previous close as a few operators
evened up their commitments for
the holiday.
However, most traders deserted
the pits and spent their time wan
dering about exchanging Christ
mas greetings. Price changes were
of little significance, wheat holding
mostly steady while corn, oats and
rye were dull.
There was a good shipping de
mand for corn. Winnipeg was firm
from lack of pressure.
Wheat closed unchanged to q
cent higher, corn unchanged to a
cent higher, oats unchanged to Is
cent lower, rye unchanged to Il
cent lower, and barley a cent lower.
Provisions we're about steady.
Receipts were 3 cars of wheat, 81
of corn, and 18 of oats Cash prices
were wheat, unchanged; corn, I'M
changed to Y cent higher, and oats
unchanged to 4 cent lower.

/ legislature merits serious consider
alton. 1t isn't joke at ali. It's
an important problem of our mod
ern civilization.
The federal government, while
creating bureaus, should set up one
to compile statistics on just how
many divorces were caused by one
or the other of a family trumping
an ace, or finessing the wrong way,
or something just as tragic.
AS a case in point. Not far
from this desk is one occupied by
man who once had a temper so
sweet that he was the marvel of all.
Then he got married and all went
well until his wife began to teach
him how to play bridge.
Today he wears perpetual scoWl
and refuses to answer the cheeriest
salutation. It's a shame. He was
such nice fellow.
Perhaps the door to promotion
has been closed because Of his per-
petual surliness, and when they 90
out in the evening all shun him like
a pariah.
He now carries his own deck of
of cards with which to play solitaire.
II
Harris complaint is genuine
enough
He would have the law stipulate
that if either a husband or a wife
proposes the other as a partner.
the offense would carry a manda-
tory sentence of a years imprison-
ment and fine of $1,000.
There would be a special section
OF the law to provide that if one of
those sickeningly sweet hostesses one
finds so often suggests that nus
bands and wives play as partners an
immediate open season be declared
and the person killing this hostess
receive a bounty Of $1,000 from the
state.
Now that's sensible legislation and
the sponsor of such a bill should be
reelected to the legislature for life.
Here is one vote for him.
