BONUS To Ct 7.
FIGHT FROM
PRESIDENT
international News Service

international News service
President Roosevelt is ready for
q last-ditch fight on the veterans
bonus, regardless of what form it
reaches him.
He is prepared to combat any
proposals put forward by either
Senate or House by giving the
public carefully developed facts
and figures. He has this informa-
ton on every plan which so far
has attracted attention.
Armed With Data
Quietly, anticipating Congress
sional action of some kind, the
President has armed himself with
the aid of Maj. Gen. Frank Hines,
of the Regular Army, Veterans
Bureau Administrator.
The latter has induStriouSly
studied each Of the dozen Congress
Sional bonus plans and analyzed
them from an opposition view
point.
Ammunition Left
This data rests on the Presi-
dents desk. President Roosevelt
used some of the information re-
Gently in writing an open letter to
an American Legion Post COM
mander in Texas.
He cited what he regarded as
important facts in the bonus pro-
poSals which had been generally
sighted. He reserved important
ammunition with which to meet
later assaults on the Treasury.
His advisors indicate that few
Administration problems have re-
GeiVed, Uhe detailed attention which
President Roosevelt gave the bo-
AUS developments as they arose.
The elaborate steps taken to
fortify the President in his oppo-
Sition has convinced official Wash
ington that he has no idea of
changing his position, regardless
OF pressure.

Commodity Price
Changes for Week

Auburndale, Mass.
AUBURNDALE, Mass. December
IA CP-Commodity prices during the
second week in December turned
sharply downward, the movement be-
ing the most severe in many months.
Equally important, the break was not
due to a few outstanding groups but
rather to general price weakness in the
majority of individual claSSiflcations.
This is well illustrated by noting that
out of IA individual groups nine de-
clined, three remained unchanged and
only two recorded strength of very
minor character. Uncertainty over
the pending United States Supreme
Court decision, together with the turn
ing point from seasonal peak in in
dustrial activity and the natural
slackening in new orders as the period
of inventory taking approaches, rep
resents the background which sub
stantiated the comparatively sharp
downward price movement.
Industrial prices ruled lower despite
the fact that the volume of production
in both consumer goods and capital
goods industries is holding on the
highest plane since 1880.
Farm Prices Lower.
Agricultural prices, the second ma
jor group, were also sharply lower.
During the week moderate price
strength in corn, barley, rye and fax
seed was more than offset by lower
price levels as compared with a week
ago in wheat, oats, cotton, eggs, po-
tatoes and butter.
Live stock, the third major group,
registered the most severe reaction
of any of the IA clasSiflcations. Price.
weakness was general, involving cattle,
hogs, sheep and lambs.
Non-ferrous metals lost considerable
ground under the leadership of lower
prices for antimony, silver and tin.
Ferrous metals represent one Of the
two groups to advance, and this move-
ment was directly attributable to
price mark-up in steel scrap.
Fine textiles were lower, largely due
to weakness in spot cotton.
Vegetable oil prices moved down.
ward during the week as cocoanut, cot
tonseed and linseed oils declined. The
only advance, which was of moderate
nature, was noted in palm oil.
Most important price changes in the

CHICAGO, December 14-Domi-
mated by heavy selling to realize profits
for speculative traders who recently
had purchased wheat, prices here
moved lower today in a brisk irregular
market.
Failure of Winnipeg wheat quota
tions to add substantially to their
sharp advance Of yesterday was an
unsettling factor in Chicago Reports
were current the Canadian government
would aim to keep Winnipeg futures
at a level which would insure disposal
of Canada's wheat surplus, and that
such course would place an effective
check on advances here, inasmuch as
the United States is importing Cana
dian wheat for domestic needs.
Wheat in Chicago closed nervous,
s-212 cents under yesterdays finish;
May, 987s-99. Corn, 5s-1as down;
May, 60h IS. Oats, p TO cent off,
and provisions at to II cents decline.
Lowest prices for Chicago wheat fu-
lures were reached near the end of the
day, declines in some cases amounting
to nearly 3 cents. Estimates that
new export business in Canadian
wheat was but 100000 to 100000
bushels, an aggregate far below yester-
days total, acted as a drag on values.
Besides, downturns of Liverpool wheat
quotations, together with uncertain
ties relative to possible devaluing Of
the Argentine peso had a disturbing
influence.
The chief encouragement for friends
of higher prices came from the fact
that Chicago December wheat was bid
up aggreSsively by elevator interests
and professional traders to a premium
of 3 cents over May. but this was re-
duced later. On the other hand. con-
siderable notice was taken of adviCes
Kansas wheat crop conditions are now
the best seen in years. 1t was asserted
that with normal weather henceforth,
Kansas can easily produce in excess of
