Grain Market

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 1.-Reports OF
urgent pressure to sell new crop Argen-
tine wheat abroad, together with dis
tress selling by Canada, led to early
setbacks today in grain values here.
Chicago wheat futures quickly dropped
to fresh all time bottom price record,
December contracts touching ATS cents
a bushel and stop loss orders were ex-
ecuted in profusion.
Opening Aaa4 lower wheat afterward
continued to fall. Corn started lsass
of and quickly declined further.
Contributing momentum to the down
ward trend Of wheat values was weak
ness Of securities. Another bearish fac
tor was increased estimates of the Ma
tons corn crop and of the amount of
old corn held on farms November un-
ofacial estimates OF the 1882 domestic
corn production averaged 29l6,000,000
bushels, against an october unofficial
average of 2,912.000000 and Govern
ment October estimate Of 2885, 100000
A total Of old corn at present on farms
was unof1cially put at l3l,000,0oO
bushels, compared with 1881 900
year ago.
Rallies of q OF q cent or more in
wheat prices took place from the 427s
cents depth, but buying on the upturns
was none too vigorous. Let-ups in SELL
ing at times appeared to be more of
factor than any great increase of pur-
chasing Some notice was taken of
Wintry weather prevailing in the Ca
madam Northwest and regarded as like
ly to curtail country marketings Corn
and oats were swayed largely by the
action Of wheat.

MONEY RATES DROP
TO ABNORMAL POINT
Bankers Acceptances, Commercial
Paper and U. S. Treasury Notes
Give Very Small Return.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. November FINANCIAL
history teaches that money rates are
bound, sooner or later, to have
marked effect upon general economic
conditions. Abnornia!l!!yy high rates
three years ago constituted a danger
signal. which few we're willing to heeo.
Abnormally low rates today also may
foreshadoW favorable developments IN
business and trade. But. just as the
nigh rates were ignored three years ago.
little If any attention is paid to the low
levels Of today.
The abnormal situation obtaining IN
the money market is best illustrated by
the fact that the rate on prime bank
ers, acceptances. eligible for purchase or
rediscount by Federal Reserve banks
varies from y Of l per cent Tor 81
days to "a OF per cent for 6 months
that the rate on commercial paper
ranges from Ia to 2i4 per cent; on
time loans from y to l per cent; that
the rate OF call loans on the New York
Stock Exchange amounts to per cent,
compared with per cent in 1929 and
per cent in 1928; and that some OF
the United States Treasury notes sell
at prices giving an incredibly low re-
turn of seven -hundredths OF l per cent,
while those maturing prior to March,
1898. yield nothing at all.

NEW YORK, November Renewal
Of the decline in commodity prices ana

ness of individual price fluctuations.

INDUSTRIAL TREND
CONTINUES MIXED
Analysis of Prospects in Va
rious Lines Given by Sta
tistics Company.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, November Current
indications Of the trend in various di-
visions of industry and trade are sum-
married by the Standard Statistics Co.
OF New York, from its first-of-the- month
resume of the outlook for important
lines, as follows:
Advertising in magazine ad-
vertising thus far in the Fall months
have not assumed full seasonal pro-
portions.
Agricultural machinery-The farmer
has little cash or credit with which to
finance the acquisition Of new machines.
Aircraft-Activity and sales in the
manufacturing branch of the airplane
trade remain restricted
Automobiles-The industry is en-
gagged in completing the liquidation Of
1882 lines and preparing plants for
production of next years models
Automobile parts-Operations are re-
fiecting the extremely low level OF au-
tomobile output.
Automobile tires = Although prices
were raised in September, most compa-
nies will again show sizeable deficits for
the current half year.
Building activity. while
irregular, continues to afford rather con-
elusive evidence that stabiliZation is be-
ing effected at an extremely low plane
Chemicals of industrial chemi-
calls showed further expansion in Sep
tember.
Coal-Expansion in the production of
bituminous in recent weeks has been the
largest for any like period since 1922
Comprehensive stocks of metal in
the hands Of producers obviate the pos
sibility Of any material pickup in min
ing operations during early future
months.
Electrical equipment-Sales Of domes-
tic appliances probably will continue to
be maintained at a relatively satisfactory
level.
Food products-Aggregate domestic
consumption Of meat is holding up well.
Lead and zinc-Defnite improvement
in the statistical position OF these metals
has been shown recently.
Leather-The outturn Of 30,7l7,759
pairs OF shoes in August was well above
most expectations.
Machinery-Although scattered in
creases in new orders have materialized,
business is still confined. for the most
part, to replacement needs.
Medicines-Manufactu now are
recording substantially improved busi-
ness.
Once NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. still
appear reluctant TO purchase beyond
immediate needs.
Paper-The news print division cur
rently Is in the throeS Of severe price
war
Petroleum-Producing activities have
been decreasing substantially
Radio-Profit margins have been al
most entirely eliminated and a spirit
of caution and uncertainty pervades the
entire industry
Railroad equipment-Future railroad
budgets will have TO provide for con-
siderable amount Of additional work to
make up deferred maintenance and re-
newals.
Retail trade-October trade totals are
believed TO be seasonally in excess Of
September results.

what's going to happen. But, in | order to have things happen, you
 have to get people together in groups. And wherever people arc gathered in groups, food has to be provided. On this occasion it's appropriate to have it ghostly food, with eerie names, but don't forget that it has to contend with real human appetites.
 Imps and Devils
 Owls, black cats and witches on broomsticks are the right kind of decorations for Halloween party, and of course there should be Jack O Lanterns grinning in dark corners to suggest the go5- lins that may "git" you, but the food must be real. Here are some suggestions for Halloween dishes in keeping with the spirit of the
 day-or rather the night, since goblins don't go about in the day. time.
 Jellied Imps: Heat the con- tents of two 5-ounce cans of to- mato juice to boiling with one tablespoon sugar, salt and pepper to taste and a few drops of to- basco sauce. Soften two table spoons gelatin in four tablespoons cold water, and dissolve in hot tomato juice. Cool. Place one curled anchovy from a small jar in the bottom of each small mold, pour in about two tablespoons of the tomato mixture, and chill un- til set. Then add the rest of the tomato, and let the whole mold set. Unmold onto lettuce garnished plates and decorate with mayon- naise. Serves eight.
 Devils Brew: Melt two squares chocolate in double boiler. Smooth two teaspoons cornstarch with two tablespoons cold water, add one-half cup sugar and 8 few grains of cinnamon and add this mixture to the melted chocolate. Add two cups hot strong coffee, and cook until creamy, stirring constantly. Cover and cook ten minutes. Chill. Add two and one-half cups chilled evaporated milk, and serve in tall glasses

The Halloween party, of course always brings
 Both witches an goblins, black cats an queer things | If bewitching refreshments are added to these, The guests, young and old, you
 will certainly please. From ancient times comes the festival of Halloween, or All Saints Day, when bon-fires were ] lighted, and belief in ghosts was very real. The Druids held vigil in | honor of the Lord of Death, and actually believed that any one who | had died during the last twelve months might return to earth on this night, in ghostly form. In later times, it was great fes- | tival, celebrating the gathering-in of all the harvest. Even now, we bring in shocks of corn, and many pumpkins of our Halloween par ties.
 The nice thing about a Hallo- we'en party is that the costumes and the stunts, always ending with ghost stories, of course, make the fun complete. The refreshments need be only cider and doughnuts whether you are entertaining youngsters or grown-ups. If you have been wanting to give a party, but budget said "No," you can have a Halloween party, and that awful ogre, Budget, will never be any the wiser. However, if you wish to be more sedate. and have a Halloween dinner, here it is., Menu Jack OIantern salad Baked ham Stuffed sweet potatoes Green beans Pumpkin pie Cheese crackers Horsc-radish sauce Celery | Rolls

Serve in patty shells or on toast points. Serves six.
 Jack O. Lantern Salad: Chill twelve small-sized canned peach halves, drain and slightly scoop out cavities to make holes larger. Mix one-half cup halved seeded white grapes and one-half cup chopped salted almonds with enough mayonnaise to moisten. Stuff cavities with this, and then press two halves together. Place each stuffed peach in @ wreath of shredded lettuce. Make a Jack-o'. Lantern face on each with bits and stripes of date. Makes six salads.
 Goblins and Moons
