The noted tenor sang at Town Hall
in New York, Sunday night The New
York Times said that he "regaled his
hearers with a display of highly per-
fected artistry. If the voice has be-
come limited in its dynamic range, so
that fortissimo tones can no longer
be projected without marked effort,
the fact did not hinder the interpreted
lions from arriving at their accus-
toned standard of excellence. And
there was always the old enchantment
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1939-12-02

in softer work, which had lost nothing
of its remarkable qualities.
"There is no need to speak at this
late date of the singers splendid
musicianship, his skillful molding Of
phrase, or the grace of melodic out
line that invariably characterize his
efforts. These were as prominently
in evidence as of old, as were the I'M
failing sense of design and the fnesse
in the treatment of detail"

Farm Cash Income Forges
Ahead of 1888 Marks
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
y American farmers received an esti-
mated cash income of $685. 100000
from marketings and Government
subsidies during the first 10 months
Of this year
Reporting this yesterday, the Agri-
culture Department said income
from the same sources during the
corresponding period last year was
reported at S6.193 100000.
The October income was put at
s894,0O0,000, compared with $780,
100000 in the same month last year.
Government benefit payments last
month totaled S82,000000, compared
with S62,000,000 in October last year.
The farm income from marketings
,-alone during the first 10 months of
this year was estimated at $685.
100000, or 2 per cent smaller than
that for the same months last year.
The income from grains, fruits,
vegetables and meat animals was
larger, but these increases were more
than offset by smaller returns from
cotton and cottonseed, tobacco, dairy
products and poultry products. In
the January October period, this
year, Government payments totaled
S640 100000, compared with $685.

Farmers Hold Back
Corn in Hope Of
Better Prices
Large Port Of Normal
Shipments to Market
Reported Halted z
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN.
Associated Press Market Writer.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25-With corn
backing up in cribs and steel bins in
the country, receipts have dwindled
sharply at the Nations principal
terminal markets, according to grain
trade statistics today.
Farmers efforts to hold grain off
the market in the hope of preventing
a price slump or benefitting from
any price rise have shut off a large
proportion of the normal flow of
corn into commercial trade.
In the first three weeks of Novem-
Der the IL principal terminal mar
kets in the United States received
only 17,252,00O bushels, compared
with 22,616,000 bushels the corre-
spending 1888 period and 32,395. 900
bushels in 1887.
Loans Make 1t Possible.
- Government loans which have
been in effect the last three years
guaranteeing cooperating growers a
definite price for their grain, is MAX
ing the farm holding program pos
sible. The loan rates on 1889 corn at
to IS cents a buShel above the
prices farmers could receive by mar
keting their grain now encourages
eligible producers to store Ineligi-
BILE producers, hoping to profit from
reduced market supplies, also are
encouraged to join the holding
movement.
Corn for December delivery or
futures contracts here is quoted
around so cents a bushel compared
with 48 cents a year ago. The loar
rate at the farm is 81 cents. Chi.
cago prices for actual corn for i'm
mediate delivery were as high as
5212 for No. yellow and 62 for No
l white here yesterday.
With the exception of year ago
the current futures market price i
the lowest for this time of season
since 1888. December corn sold al
"A cents just before outbreak of the
war in Europe and rose to above 81
cents when the war was a week old
Since then it has f1uctuated between
that nigh and 40 cents.
Supply Accumulates.
AS result of the holding pro.
gram, approximately 250,000 ,00(
bushels of old corn have accumu-
lated under loans throughout the
corn belt. In addition an equa
amount of old corn not under loar
was held over on october l. A new
crop of 1881 100000 bushels was har.
vested but Government officials be.
lieve not more than 100000 ,00(
bushels of this will be stored under
loans.
Corn prices showed very LITTLE
change the past week and before thu
opening today were Is lower to Il
higher, compared with a week ago
Wheat gained A-1 cent; oats, Is.
1as, and soy beans, 2-314, while rye
was unchanged to y lower and larc
lost 80 to 81 cents.

NEW YORK, Nov 25.-Weakness
in rail loans spread to other sections
.ef a droopy bond market today
DiSregarding the steady stream of
favorable earnings and traffic re-
ports, traders trimmed carrier liens
fractions to more than points.
Selling never got out of hand,
however, and many of the losses
were scored on comparatively small
turnover.
United States Government loans
swerved bit lower but the market
was chary of making too heavy COM
mitments in the FederalS as they
-pondered implications of the new
defense tax limited at by the Presi-
dent yesterday.
The foreign dollar division charted

unwilling to either buy or sell over

Excess Reserves Hold
About Same us in
Preceding Week
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Federal Reserve banks again
reduced last week their holdings Of
Federal securities which they bought
in September to stem the price de-
cline which followed the outbreak
of war in Europe.
The Federal Reserve Board said
the IL banks reduced holdings of
Government securities by $56,O00,-
900 in the week ended November %,
cutting their joint investments to
1888 100000, compared with ST.
1876 900, 900 on September 90
from the sale of $4,000, 900 worth Of
Government bonds, and $4,000 900 of
Government notes, and the failure
of the banks to replace $4,000 900
worth of Treasury bills, which they
owned until they came due and the
Treasury paid them off.
Lendable excess reserves of banks
were said by the board to be ap-
proXimately the same as the S.
170,000,000 total of the preceding
week.
The boards statement said:
During the week ended November
% member bank reserve balances
increased $32,0O0,000. Additions to
member bank reserves arose from
decreases of $98 100000 in Treasury
deposits with Federal Reserve banks
and S45,000000 in non-member de-
| posits and other Federal Reserve &C
counts, and increases of $22,000,000

ury currency, offset in part by in
creases of S50000,000 in money in
circulation and SIG 900, 900 in Treas
ury cash, and decrease of s70,-
100000 in reserve bank credit. Ex-
cess reserves of member banks on
