COTTON DECLINES
IN QUIET TRADING
Final Prices | to 4 Points
Net Lower as Result
of Liquidation.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, October 15.-Cotton
eased moderately today on lower Liver
pool cables and under liquidation and
increased hedging operations, espe-
cially in the distant positions. Trade
calling and covering resulted in a
partial rally from the lowest. Decem-
ber reacted from 1925 to 8.21 and closed
at 825, with final prices l to points
net lower.
Trading was quiet. Trade buying
in the near positions absorbed consid-
cradle liquidation through commission
houses while increased hedging opera
tions in the far months, including
October, 1899, was absorbed by for
eign buying and on exchanges from
the near positions. Spot demand was
comparatively quiet but mills were
willing to fix prices against recent
sales of textiles.
The Commodity Credit Corp. re-
ported 455,l75 bales entered the loan
during the week, bringing the total
to 939,593 pledged so far. Amount Of
cotton on shipboard awaiting clearance
at the close of the week was estimated
at $1,000, against 1876, 900 last year and
l39, 900 two years ago.

of Chicago Market.
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-With grain
market activity listless, prices clung
to an unusually narrow range today.
Wheat closed unchanged to % higher
after fluctuating throughout the short
session within a range OF u cent. It
was one of the narrowest markets on
record and dealings were confined
largely to spreading, evening up ac-
counts and other commercial opera
tions.
Continued unfavorable crop condi-
tions in Australia. dryness in the do
mestic Southwest and strength in
securities failed to arouse any unusual
buying, but did restrict selling A
fractional upturn OF % to "a cent at
Liverpool, based largely on the Aus
tralian situation. prompted some buy
ing in North American markets, but
little enthusiasm was in evidence here
in view Of tagging export demand and
hand-to-mouth trading in the pit.
The unchanged to % higher close
put December wheat at 65as-1a and
May at 66la-5s. Corn was 4 up to

At present there are only four
probation officers in the nonsup-
port department of the court and
each officer is responsible for 334
cases. Authorities in social work
have contended that the maxi
mum-case load for a probation Of
ficer in this type of work should
not exceed $50.
At the beginning Of the 1936-37
fiscal year two new probation Of
ficers were appointed in the non.
support department, and that year
collections increased $50, 100.
The $4,000 investment of tax
payers was repaid almost 13 times.
The Prison Industries Reorgani-
zation Administration, in its re-
cent survey of local penal institu-
tions, and courts emphasized the
need for additional probation Off
GERS in Juvenile Court, declaring:
"At the present time the case
loads are so large that If the
husband complains that his wife
is neglecting the children the
probation department must re-
fer the complaint to some other
social agency for Investigation
yet there is no other agency in
the community which does not
already have a capacity load"
