On Nov 15, with q 30-cent processing tax imposed. Chicago May was 15 cents bushel lower. That means that the farmer, through his lower price, was ab- sorbing half the processing tax.

 Materials that resemble the bark of trees, and cloth that stretches in any direction and then molds itself back on to the figure are among others of Mad anne Schiaparellis innovations.
 Bright scarfs in puckered rib- bons; gay chenille mufflers; box calf belts and bags and leather fastenings for dresses and skirts in sports tweeds are among the dress novelties shown.
 Some of the newest colors are London Fog" in smoky gray vel vet; "Plover's Egg" and q wide range of other blues; "Tarascon" red; "Pamplemouse," a new yell low, and "Longchamps" green.

London (UP)-0ate crashers have tried their tactics on every event from 8 formal ball to a ball game. But the latest attempt was made at 8 display of ball gowns. The uninvited guests didn't get in.
 At the exhibition itself. titled Englishwomen leaned forward in their chairs. Fashion experts peered closer as mannequin glided across the floor. A new creation had been born.
 The style of the gown displayed was secondary in interest to the material of which it was con- structed. It was made of woven cellophane and rubber. Glossy and jet-black, 1t resembled an- thracite, and that is the name given to it by it's creator, Madame Elsa Schiaparelli.

 There seems little doubt that many farmers who did not raise wheat before, and who therefore were not eligible for the reduc- tion program, are determined 10 raise it now. That, of course. tends to neutralize the reductions of others.
 For instance. there is evidence that Iowa, not hitherto great wheat state, has seeded 25 per cent more winter wheat this winter than q year ago.
 While the 1883 crop, 100000 bushels. was the smallest in 37 years, the carryovcr Of old wheat is one of the largest. and the total Of wheat available to-day (ncarly q billion bushels) shows only a small shrinkage from q year ago.

This was through direct sale of bonds, notes. bills and certificates direct to investors, bankers and insurance companies.
 Various administration officials, congressman and bankers generally have expressed agreement with President Roosevelt that the pro- gram will work out smoothly and that no obstacles will prevent the financing of the government in "the regular manner"
 The first step in the financing program was considered today by treasury officials. Despite the huge cash balance of $956,991.710 now in the treasury. rapid increase in emergency expenditures over the past few weeks might require the issuance of new securities before the end of January.
 This would be in the nature of test" offering and the charac- ter of it's acceptance by the invest ing public would help to determine the remainder of the program.
 The next maturity is rot until March 15. when $460. 900 in 3-4 per cent certificates fall due. On April 15, billion collars in called Fourth Liberty Loan bonds fall duo and on June 1J. a total of $174,905,500 of IA per cent cer- tifcates must be refunded. Over the slx-month period approximate iy $2,000, 100000 in short term bills must be refunded. making q total of $4,000, 1000, 900 to be re- funded.
 Security issues are expected to be foated in rapid succession until the $10,000, 100000 is raised.

LEA AND SON WIN
ExTRADITIoN DELAY
Justice Brandeis Grants 80. Day
Extension on Filing
Petition.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Justice Brandeis has granted for
mer Senator Luke Lea Of Tennessee
and his son, Luke, jr, an extension
of 60 days from March 8 in which to
file in the Supreme Court petition
fighting their extradition to North
Carolina to serve sentences imposed
upon them in August, 1881.
The LeaS were convicted OF law
violations linked with the failure OF
the Central Bank g. Trust Co. Of
Asheville, N. c., a $17,000,000 institu-
ton. The elder Lea, for years pub
Usher of a Nashville (Tenn) news
paper, was given from 6 to 10 years
imprisonment and his son fine OF
s25,000 and costs or imprisonment
from two to six years
The Leas twice attempted to have
the Supreme Court set aside their
conviction, but failed. They then
brought habeas corpus proceedings to
prevent their extradition. They con-
tended their convictions were void
and the courts which tried them were
without Jurisdiction, because they were
not in North Carolina at or about the
time the offenSes charged against
them were alleged to have been COM
mitted. The Tennessee court dis
missed the proceedings, and the State
Supreme Court approved its action,
holding the Leas for extradition.
