 No serious accidents were report ed at the police department. The Southern New England Transpor- tation company and the Short Line had their busses running out of Waterbury this morning and were Keeping up schedules, due to the fact that the state highway depart ment worked throughout the night sanding hil1y highways.

Chicago Grain

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November i7.-Persist-
ent weakness of foreign wheat mar
kets led to early downturns of Chi
cago grain prices today. There were
also rains in domestic wheat territory
Southwest and Northwest as we'll.
Opening l&-Ss lower. May. 99ls-L:
wheat afterward sagged further. Corn
started unchanged to ., down, May,
80 "a, and subsequently altered ht-
tie.
Gables told of cheaper offerings Of
wheat from France to other European
countries. Word was likewise re-
ceived that Argentina was also Offer
ing wheat at lower prices. Quick ral-
lies here. however, to prices well above
yesterdays finish followed an official
announcement that grasshopper dam
age TO wheat In Southern Australia
is serious and that in Western Aus
trala damage from drought and rust
is also serious.
Helping an upward trehd of wheat
at this stage was a corn market rise
that lifted December corn to equal
with the seasons top price record and
to more than l cent above today's
early low level. Strengthening of corn
quotations was associated with the
fact that only one car of corn was
bought overnight to arrive in Chi
caeo, although the price of cash corn
here yesterday was at a new high
for the season. Notice was taken that
on the basis of the nominal current
premium No white corn would sell
here within few cents of the dollar
mark. Oats were responsive to up
turns in corn and wheat.
Provisions reflected setbacks of hog
values.

Pressure-Merchandising
Shares Show Resistance.
BY G. A. PHILLIPS,

NEW YORK, November 1.-THE
curb market drifted quietly lower to-
day in quiet trading that was mostly
in the way of adjusting accounts for
the week end. Utilities continued un-
der pressure and oils were sold rather
freely at the start of trading, but
steadied during the second hour. Mer-
chandising shares showed some resist
Ance.
Share reflected shifting speculative
sentiment in the utility issues, appar-
emily brought about by developments
of the past few days affecting the
industry as a whole. At one time the
stock was well supported but finally
yielded around Il point to below 8, q
new low for the year. Other utilities
selling fractionally lower included
American Gas, Niagara Hudson and
Cities Service. Montreal Light, Heat
Il Power declined around 8 points
Oil issues were moderately lower,
although the turnover was not large
except in International Petroleum,
which declined y to below 81. Gulf
Oil yielded full point and Creole
Petroleum sold slightly lower. A long
list Of miscellaneous shares sold frac-
tions to around point lower, in
cluding Hiram Walker, Parker Rust
Proof, Newmont Mining and Swift
International.

porate Department.
BY BERNARD S. O'HARA.


NEW YORK. November 1.-THE
bond market today was chiefly notable
for display Of moderate strength in
United States Governments and an ir-
regular heavy tone in the corporate
department.
Among the best supported of the

seconds of point to new high at
96.6; Home Owners loan As, up nine
thirty seconds at 99.4; Federal Farm
Mortgage IS, up IL thirty seconds
at 99.4: Treasury 3s, up eight thirty
seconds at 10013, and Treasury 3As
of l944-l946, up eight thirty seconds
at l02.
A few industrial liens were traded
at slightly higher prices. but the
major trend was downward, even in a
considerable number of prime issues.
American Telephone SIS sold off "a of
a point to ITO in response apparently
to another sharp drop in the stock.
Moderate selling forced Great
Northern 4las down a point to 701a,
and a like loss reduced Missouri
Pacific IS of 1877, series F, to 221s.
smaller declines occurred in the loans
OF Baltimore & Ohio. Columbia Gas e.
Electric, Nickel Plate, Southern Rail-
way, Union Pacific, New York Central
and United Drug.
Prices Slightly Higher.
Slightly higher prices were paid for
obligations of Detroit Edison, Du-

Argentine, German and Japanese
issues lost little ground, while other
foreign groups held about steady.

SECURITY FRAUD
UNDERPOL|CEEYE'
Exchange Commission Is
Organizing School for

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Securities and Exchange Com
mission Is organizing school for its
detectives"
Although the commission doesn't
like to call them that, officials admit
their efforts TO blast on. security
fraud usually require considerable
detective talent.
The staff of investigators is being
given lessons in technical operations
Of the market and advice as TO
how to deal with offenders. This is
on the premise that it is one thing
to approach a firm which reacts CO.
operatively and quite another to in
wade a bucket shop.
The Instructions will be to take
gloves off" in the latter case. And
1t is understood the gloves have been
taken of already in some cases not
yet made public.
The commission wants its investi-
gators to know about margins and
to understand the other technical
situations it must confront Super
vision of the security business in
wolves not only the relatively simple
attack on the bucket shop. but also
sometimes extremely involved and
delicate manipulative operations.
To date the commission has found
little wrong doing Of the latter char
acter. A few apparent pools have
been the subject Of inquiry. but in
vestigation has revealed that normal
circumstances caused what at first
appeared to be a manipulative oper-
ations.
The commissions investigators have
established liaison with the New
York State enforcement staff and will
exchange information freely with it.
When case is purely within New
York, or any other State, the COM
mission lacks jurisdiction.

From Russia Sings

YOUTH SPENT IS MONTHS
IN RUSSIA

81 never knew what it meant to be
free until came to the Soviet Union"
said Robert Turner, st. Paul youth
who has returned from an 10 months
stay there. Turner was born in the
United States, cradle of democracy"
Telling of his experiences, Turner
said: AT every public place I went,
the workers there gave up their seats
for me, and treated me with. the sin
cerest cordially, trying, it seemed to
make me forget the persecution, jim
crowism and segregation that they
knew the Negro suffers in this coun-
try"
"Then," he added, "there is not
haunting you in the Soviet Union the
thought where you are going to
sleep, where are you going to eat
all workers eat there. And for the
Negro, he does not have to worry
what restaurant he can go into and
not be insulted. The Negro is truly
free in every sense of the word in
the Soviet Union" Turner said he
noticed the great contrast between
the U. s. S. r. and the U. s., as soon
as he stepped off the boat in New
York. "And only this morning." he
told an audience at the Phyllis Wheat
ley House, where he spoke under the
auspices of the International Labor
Defense, ~ went into a restaurant in
st. Paul to get breakfast, but was
told couldn't eat there-that it was
only for whites"

Cotton Club Revue
Disappoints Show
Not Very Good
SHOW DISAPPOINTS
REVIEWER

"Not so hot" was the verdict Of
theatre-goers who went to the Mime
apolis Orpheum during the past week
to view Irving Mills Cotton Club re-
vue. At the performance viewed by
this correspondent neither the per-
formers or the patrons seemed to
warm up. The highly touted Mills
Blue Rhythm Band, with all of its
fancy arrangements, made no visible
hit with the audience who applauded
the various band numbers, very little.
One little lady, who sat behind US,
said, "that band does not compare
with the Eli Rice Band which some
times plays at the Eagles hall"
Little Josie Oliver danced fairly well
but there are at least two Of the
chorus girls at the Apex Club who
are just as good. "Nicodemus," the
droll young comedian, who was here
with the Cab Galloway outfit before,
was just about the best thing in the
show but most people had glimpsed
his antics before. George Dewey
Washington, long a favorite of local
audiences, was just fair this trip.
Either George Dewey is losing his
stride or local audiences are tired of
him. Others in the show were the
Four Flash Devils and Alma Smith,
soubrette who had pleasing voice,
but who spoiled it all by attempts to
dance and a tight-fitting dress.
Beginning Friday the show opens
an engagement at the Palace Or
pheum in St. Paul. Those whe fail to
see the show won't miss much for the
show is nothing to rave about. We
have seen many amateur shows put
on by local talent that were much
better.
