MAJOR GRAINS
WEAKEN UNDER
PROFIT-TAKINC
Advancing Tendency Is
Curbed as Traders Even
Up for Weekend.
BY HARTMAN w. NICHOLS
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO. Sept. s.-Tradersscame
into the pits on the Chicago Board
of Trade today to even up their
positions for the weekend. curbing
an advancing tendency.
Wheat finished $ to II cent
lower. corn was l. cent off, and
oats we're L cent lower to ! cent
higher.
All deliveries of wheat early
touched new highs on the current
upturn but eased on profit-taking
later. A sharp dip in cotton, which
came when the government crop
estimates were higher than expected
was depressing item.
A good class of buying was in
evidence in wheat throughout the
day and the market failed to show
any material weakness. The cash
situation continued the dominating
factor and there was no signs of
receSsions in premiums prevailing
for the grain in the leading markets
of the world. The government re-
port, due Monday. is expected to
show little change from the figures
last released. Liverpool closed to-
day z to Is cents higher.
Corn was firmer early but reached
with wheat, as did other grains.
Trade in lard was reported rather
slow.

bIlC pAO5A oAA-
Balkiness of the government bond
market. accompanied by a heavy
volume of trading, has made for
feld-day of guessing among govern
ment bond dealers. The prepon-
derance of estimates are to the ef-
feet that either short-term or IN
termediate term issues Will be OF
fered in exchange for the maturing
securities.
Rate of Interest Same
The 1924, 748, 500 of IL per cent
certificates are expected TO be re-
placed by the same amount OF new
securities carrying the same rate OF
interest. The task of meeting the
81 200 900 900 of Fourth Liberty
AIS. which have already been
called for payment on Oct. Is, rep
resents quite a different problem.
The amount of money involved In
this operation makes it particularly
necessary that the treasury depart
ment gauge the market correctly
AS a result, the consensus is that
short-term or comparatively short
term notes or bonds will be offered
to all holders of the Liberty AIS.
On this score it is felt that a flo
tation of eight-year 3is or 3& per
cent bonds could safely be offered
in exchange to holders of the matur-
ing Libertys. Furthermore, 1t Is
pointed out. the subscription books
on the issue could be held open for
a full month, or until Oct. Is, in
order to attract as many exchanges
as possible.
In some quarters it is felt that
if it had not been for Secretary
Morgenthau's decla~-.ion that an
offer would be made on Sept. 10
to holders of the Liberty 4As, the
treasury might do well by passing
up this situation and taking a
chance on the possibility that the
market might be better situated on
Oct. Is.
Insurance Involved
Insurance companies, because a
large part Of the funds entrusted
to them is really in trust, would
take a longer term isue. Banks,
however, on which the government
is still largely dependent in mar"
keting new issues, are said to have
frowned upon long-term issue at
this time.
In answer to the argument that
banks might not take more short
term securities, it is stated that the
institutions are confronted with the
possibility of either holding cash
from which no interest is derived or
government issues.

chances are Lfdt ti-l4tA Ga tAtNt-
SION OF time must be granted by the
commission or that trading priv
fares will be denied a great many
Issues temporarily al least The
probabilities are that the time limit
vii be extended.
Il vas stated at the exchange
this week that no indications have
teen received of unwillingness on
the part Of corporate officials to
make the necessary applications
The slowness with which they have
been fled has been due 10 the alb
sence Of a great many executives on
account Of vacations. The exchange
has been doing its best TO facilitate
matters and is not counting on any
extension Of time for registration.
DEMANDS are becoming more
u pressing for devaluation OF
the French franc. dispatches from
Paris indicate. And the unusual
part of IL is that big business seems
10 be behind the movement ana
that farmers and government OH
Gals are very much opposed 70 It.
In the United States the situation
is reversed. with the farmers ana
the government having favored de-
valuation Of the dollar and big bust
ness. generally speaking, on the
other side Of the fence.
Under the circumstances the
issue of currency devaluation does
not seem to narrow down to ques-
ton of "tinkering," but to one of
whose interest is served the best
Our farmers produce in large mea-
sure for export, and they are de-
sirous of stimulating the sale OF
their produce through cutting the
value OF the dollar in terms OF gold.
But in France the farmers sell their
output in the home market and ap-
parently desire to maintain the pur-
chasing power of the money they
receive for 1t.
Il. H. LEWIS Of GOOdbOdy & Co.,
j writing on what he regards as
the certainty of an international
currency war. presents IN part the
following conclusions:
ALTHOUGH the weakness in sterling
is temporarily leading the way,
Germany is apt to be the pacemaker
most of the way around the infla-
tionarv race track. II will sooner or
later bring the stubborn gold cur
rencies down from their throne, and
as wild capital scampers here and
there for safety We, without New
Deal-trained capacity for believing
in decisions, will enter almost glee-
fully into the race.
Fear then, more potent than the
hopes of the new era days. viii ride
in the saddle and drive human &C
lions to crazy extremes. The risk
increases monthly for those holding
high-grade bonds. Snug inertia
will ultimately give way to creeping
fear. Equities and commodities VIII
then be IN popular demand. What a
few spectators have foreseen for
months will then be appreciated by
the masses in the grand stand Just
as the race is practically over.
Some excitement. Ell boss?

turned to the parish house after
conducting final mass at the Ro-
man Catholic Church of Our
Lady of Mount Carmel.
Leaping in front Of Mrs. Mos
cati to shield her from the shower
Of lead, the little priest was So
through the heart. His sacrifice
may have been in vain, for Mrs.
Moscati, struck by three bullets,
was in a critical condition today.
Physicians said that Maria,
who for years was a beneficiary
OF the priests charity, had oeen
mentally unbalanced for six weeks
as a result Of an accident.
