Wheat Is Depressed
By Prospect Of Big
Argentine Crop
Chicago Market Declines
As Much as "a Of Cent
For Time
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN.
Associated Press Financial Writer,

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE prospect
that Argentina will harvest the sec
ond largest wheat crop in its his
tory this season depressed wheat
prices in world markets today.
An official estimate forecasting a
harvest of l5,964,000 bushels, larg-
est since 1928 and with that ex-
ception the biggest on record for
Argentina, indicated that country
will have an exportable surplus in
excess of 20O,00O,OOO bushels to aug
ment the worlds already burdening
supply.
Chicago values declined as much
as as "a cent early in the session
to the lowest point in two weeks,
but selling was not active and frac-
tional rallies took place before the
close. Liverpool finished Sails
lower, while winnipeg lost about a
cent.
Wheat here closed 1s-1a lower,
May 661s-A, July 65& rs; corn

There was little else OF interest IN
the wheat market except the Argen-
tine report. Export business was
quiet but weather was clear IN the
Southwest and precipitation the
past "a hours proved to be unim-
portant.

Bond Market Moves
To Lower Levels in
Active Session
Some Issues Resistant;
Loews 3I2s of as

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE bond
market veered lower today as traders
took their profits out of recent ad-
vances. Scattered issues, however,
resisted selling pressure in the
fastest short session in over a
month.
In the limelight were Loew's 31ls
OF 46, which sagged points to
close at 95: Brokers appeared to
have no clear-cut ideas on weak
ness in this loan, although specula-
ton over outcome of stockholders
suits against the management was
mentioned as factor.
Traders were chary of United
States Government issues for the
most part, but sufficient demand
appeared to lift some as much as
6/32ds of a point.
In the foreign dollar division
South American loans were favored,
notably Argentine As, up 7s at 80A
and Buenos Aires 4ls -43as, ahead 2
at SIS. Changes elsewhere were mar
row.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Cotton
moved higher today as trade buying
against recently improved cotton
goods sales found offerings light.
March sold up from BIT to 8.24 and
closed at 821, with final prices 3 to
S points net higher.
The market opened 2 points lower
to l higher with the influence of
steadier Liverpool cables offset by
liquidation and weekend hedge SELL
ing. Price-fixing orders appeared in
nearby deliveries, however, and car
ried them up to net gains of 6 or 7
points. The market proved sensitive
to small orders and later reacted
partially under realizing sales.
Cotton goods sales for the week
were estimated at more than double
current mill production. Commodity
Credit Corp. reported 157,162 bales
pledged to the loan this week, bring
ing the total thus far to 3,436,086.
Cotton on shipboard awaiting

to a group of children for aid in
sending its annual roll call cam

Coming to the aid of the
mighty organization of mercy,

various American chapters, as well
as from Japan, China, Mexico,
