Wee Quincy laughed both loud and
long when he was told he did things
wrong, and then he said. "Well, tots,
I guess I'd best not lend a hand.
"Of course I'd love to do my
share, but I'll just watch, If you

WHEAT RESUMES
GRAIN MART LEAD
War Scare Restores Chief
Bread Grain. After Corn
Values Soar.
b. the Associated Press.

d. lHC AcoOClatcu EIcsos
CHICAGO, August 22-Emerging
from an eclipse caused by spectacular
soaring of corn value. wheat Is again
the grain trades chief guide, thanks
largely to Europe's war scare.
Leading wheat market specialists
say there Is no question but that latest
upturns of prices for the principal
bread grain, wheat, are In great meas
ure due to possibilities that complica-
tions arising from strife throughout
Spain may involve major countries
overseas. Under such circumstances
and with a threatened huge influx of
corn from Argentina. corn has once
more become secondary to wheat. both
as to top values and to volume of deal
ings, although for the week the corn
market still displays the steepest rela-
tive upturn.
Grains Higher.
Compared to week ago, wheat
this morning was 1%a3h cents a
bushel higher, corn 2ha5 cents up,
oats sa1K2 advanced and rye at asa
81 gain. Provisions were 5 to 40
cents down.
Although in various quarters doubt
is expressed that wheat values will per-
manently receive much help from war
scares, some of the doubters assert,
nevertheless, that wheat is to become
a scarce article and command a corre-
spondingly good price.
This outcome, however. Is quail
fed as likely to be delayed until after
more of the Canadian crop has been
moved and absorbed. Meantime, a
good deal of trade anxiety is appar-
ent as to need Of moisture in the
domestic Winter wheat belt Southwest,
SO that plowing and seeding oper-
atoms can be started. and long
standing drought be relieveds
On the other hand. Canadian
farmers deliveries Of wheat at in
terror stations are expected to mount
shortly to around 100000 bushels
a day This would be about double
recent totals. The larger deliveries
are looked for when threshing gets
under way in the more northern sec
tions, where the yield is much heavier
than in the south.
Many States Out.
Current trade reports indicate that,
taken as whole, the Dakotas, Ne
braska, Kansas and Oklahoma, to-
gether with parts Of Iowa, Missouri
and Illinois, have been eliminated
as producers of corn as grain this
year. There are reported, however,
to be large areas yet in the three last
named States which will produce
fairly liberal yields.
Oats receipts have dropped to small
proportions, farmers figuring this
grain to be their cheapest feed. Buy
ing of rye for distillers has been
stimulated because of disparity be-
tween rye quotations and corn.
Provisions reflect setbacks of hog
values.

Brokers' Comment
;Ey the Associated Press.

:By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 22-Most of
today's stock market commentators
were expecting a rally in the near
future.
s j. S. Bache & Cove are inclined
to the view that at least temporary
snap-back is not far distant.
Thomson g. McKinnon-The ultra
conservative policy right now seems
to us the best policy.
Frazier Jelke & Goa brisk rally
or an increase in offerings is likely
soon.
E. A. Pierce g. Co-The test prob
ably Is not at an end, but a better
demand could develop on further
weakness.
Lamborn, Hutchings & Cot is
best to wait until market action sug-
gests buying support is being met.
Munds, Winslow & Potter-Further
buying opportunities should be taken
advantage of during any further weak
spells.
: Shields g. Co.-Additional weakness
should be viewed as an opportunity
to purchase selected issues.
Hornblower & Weeks-It is our
opinion that the market is expert
encing a selling climax and will be
followed by the usual recoil.

today some Of the ground lost in yes

Action of the list from the opening

continued to slip back Under the i'm

A goodly number of the rails were
