we're only 5 cents above yesterday S

Trading developed slow in practl-
cally all classes despite a sharp de-
crease in the number of receipts
which were estimated at $500, the
smallest supply on hand for a week.
Holdovers again were reported at
887, indicating a weak demand pre-
vailing for the various classes.
The general bulk of 100 to 275
pounds. cashed in at $3.50 to 1918.
Heavy butcher weights, scaling from
275 pounds and upward, brought
1920 to $3.50. In the lightweight
division, hogs weighing from 100 to
100 pounds, sold at SO to $3.50. Pack
ing sows held at So to SO.
The cattle market was scarce and
unchanged. Compared with week

steady to around 25 cents higher.
Top steers held at $1225. Several

CHICAGO, Nov. 23--Dollar
wheat was restored on the Board of
Trade at one time today as prices
fluctuated nervously.
At the end wheat was | to x
cents higher, corn was unchanged to
up Il cent, and oats we're up a to g
cent
Wheat futures opened firm, but
dipped sharply under the weight of
liquidating sales in the December
contract. Offerings we're absorbed
readily, however, and the downward
trend was reversed The relative
strength of Northwestern markets
and the tendency of the Kansas City
market to rally prompted the new
buying as the trading progressed
here. Strength in stocks also lad
some effect on sentiment. Sellers
of offers who were forced to protect
themselves aided the advance.
Corn dipped on local and scat
tered commission house selling.
Traders were influenced by the ia
Vorable weather which prevailed
over the belt, along with the fair Of
ferings from the country. Fore
casts for fair and warmer weather
and the easier basis in the spot
market dampened buying enthu-
SiaSm.
Buying on resting orders steadied
the market on the decline and a
fair rally resulted from the nerv-
BUSINESS of shorts as they watched
the upturn in wheat.
Houses with Northwestern con-
nections bought December oats.
Liquidating sales furnished the Of
ferings in the nearby month. Rye
was inclined to follow wheat. Short
covering in the December contract
lent strength to the lard market.

The reign of the bootlegger will

The inevitable result of this is

been slipped a screen test in New

they say, is a WOW, so maybe this
lady who has been called one of
"the finest American actresses"
may soon be a part of the cinema.
Heretofore she has turned a deaf
ear to some very fancy local
offers but what, with the new
craze for chain letters, Ito say
nothing of our perpetual sun
shine, flowers, and country club
atmospheric, she's very apt to be
with us.
You really haven't lived until
you've seen Joan Crawford going

around a monograph and turn

Miss C. grabs either the camera
man or the director by the hand,
holds on tightly, looks vaguely
into the abstract and then sud
denly, without warning, her eyes

tears that goes on for days. Her
