Ac.
Cash wheat was firm and there was
a fair to good demand for moderate
offerings. Durum wheat was strong
with buyers competing more sharply
for the fancy amber. Old durum was
in rather slow demand. Winter Of
ferings were light and in fair demand.
Cash corn demand was limited. Oats
was in good demand. Rye demand
was fair to good. The market was
firm to a. shade stronger. Barley was
stronger, buyers paying 1c up for

Protest against the provision in
the House economy bill to cut the
overtime pay of Government
printers has been filed with the
special Senate Economy Commit.
tee by Clyde M. Mills, president
of the Columbia Typographical
Union.
The Mills protest will come be,
fore the Senate group at it's next
meeting. 1t has held no sessions
for several days because of the
illness of Senator Mcclellan CD
Tennessee, recovering from the
grippe.
Mr.. Mills estimates that if the
House provision is retained in the
economy measure it will cost
many Government printers, who
do night work, more than $40C
per year each. He said:
Practically all work per-
formed at night at the prlntery
is for the Congressional Record,
which must be on desks early
the next day. 1t is incOnceiv-
able that Congress, which
creates the necessity for night
work, should consider taking
away the additional pay granted
for this night work." ..

ECONOMY PUTS
DAN CUPID IN
TATTERS
BY MARGARET LANE

NEW YORK, May II Q.N.S0.
Marriage, it seems, has been hit
as hard by economic conditions
as any other business.
Ever since the crash of 1929,
fewer and fewer people have been
getting married, statistics show.
In Manhattan there were hun.
dreds fewer marriages in 1880
than in 1929 fewer again in 1881,
and the averages for this year
have so far fallen lower than
ever.
At the present rate of decrease,
it will take about 10 more years
of stress to have nobody in Man
haitian ever getting married at
all.
According to -Iichael J. Cruise,
c..ork of the marriage license bu-
reau for New York, stocks and
bonds will have to go up a long,
long way before people set to
marrying again in good earnest.
He said today:
"Why, all yesterday morning
I hardly had a single couple
come in for a license, and the
usual number is about 100
couples a day. There was a
slight raise in the marriage
market today, however, but I'm
afraid that was only due to
the sudden warm weather."
In Manhattan in 1929, 2,755
couples got married in April
alone. In April, 1880, there were
2,546, and in April, 1881, there
were 1887. While as for 1892,
April can only show the dis
graceful new low of 2,168. In
face, every year there are roughly
1000 more couples unmarried
than there were the year before.
If it is true, as the advertise
ments assure us. that it's smart
to be thrifty, it looks as though
marriage will become very un.
smart during the next year or
so, for it is undoubtedly in the
cause of economy that so many
potential marriages have been
sacrificed.
