tor Of the company, and throw the case
into the State Courts.

and dismissed the petition.

GRAINS DEPRESSED
IN WEEKS TRADING
Corn and Wheat Both Lower and
Near Record Lows of
the Season.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated freSS
CHICAGO. February 4.-Corn and
wheat are running neck and neck just
now for first place in grain trade atten-
ton.
An outstanding reason for increased
notice taken Of corn is that normally
the present time of year furnishes its
heaviest movement to terminal markets.
Another conspicuous fact is an extra
profitable feeding difference between
prices of corn and hogs The prevailing
ratio is about IA to l. whereas 10 to l
has been usually regarded as right.
Compared with week ago, corn
prices this morning were 1a14 cents
a bushel lower, wheat l2a1 down, oats,
12a5s off, and provisions varying from
2 cents decline to 10 cents advance.
Prices of corn are lowering close to
the lowest figures of the season. and
this circumstance has particular
tendency to make many traders friendly
toward an upturn in values. The fact.
however, that country offerings of corn
show an increase on price advances
leads to belief in some quarters that
holders may sell much more freely be-
tween now and corn planting time than
as rule has been expected. On the
other hand. corn primary receipts, SO
far this season, total only about 37,000,-
600 bushels. an amount less than half
of the showing in 1929-30, when the
crop was fairly liberal.

SHOW LITTLE CHANGE
Indications That Farm Debt Situa.

Market Quotations.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

opeCihI OiSphtCn 10 Inc star.
CHICAGO. February 4.-while farm
commodity markets idled most of this
week, barely moving up or down, de-
velopments on the agricultural front
indicated the approach of a climax
in rural economy.
Direct action by strong arm groups
OF farmers brought an end to fore
closure proceedings by most insurance
companies in Iowa. Mortgage mora
toria at the same time were realized
in some other States, including Ar
kansas and Georgia. Evidence accu-
mulated that debtors throughout most
OF the farm country soon would be sue
cessful in demands for relief.
AS II this wasn't enough for one
week. the Canadian dollar, q great COM
petitor OF the American dollar in for
eign grain markets, began to act up
again. 1t went to a 20 per cent dis
count on Wednesday and gave a fur
ther advantage to that country's ex-
porters at time when it Is increas-
ingly essential to move some of our
huge surplus into foreign trade.
Another note Of caution was injected
by the reminder of a leading grain
house that in less than five months a
new wheat crop will be moving to mar
ket in this country.

NEW YORK, February 4.-1nterest
now centers in the General Motors
dividend on which directors are slated
to act next Monday. Persistent selling
in both that stock and du Pont, which
holds 100000 of the $4,000 900 shares

arouse no little misgiving as regards
the outcome Of the meeting. Some
people downtown are confident that the

dend Of Is cents share this time.
But those who seek to take the tape
as guide are good deal less sanguine
in that respect, particularly because of

 The best reports are from the widely scattered agricultural sec- tions where distribution of Gov ernment bonus payments were turned into merchandise and in the urban centers where the sud- den lowering temperatures almost cleared the low priced clothing.
 Hardware, auto accessories, rubber footwear moved fast.
