Late Profit Taking
Reduces Gainsi in
Wheat Prices
Cash Quotation Hits
81, but No Sales
Are Reported
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Market Writer.

CHICAGO, Dec. Q. Although
wheat was quoted at dollar bushel
in the Chicago cash grain market
today for the first time since March.
1898, no actual sales of grades good
enough to bring dollar were re-
ported.
The dollar-a- -bushel price was
merely a nominal quotation in the
spot trade. 1t was based on the fact
that No. 2 red wheat sold 61z cents
over the December price yesterday
at 98L2 and when December futures
rose a cent to 93M today, this rela-
tionship, which was maintained by
the firm market, automatically
raised the price of No. 2 red. Some
sample grade red that was tough
brought 9l1z and No. 2 yellow hard
tough sold at 90.
The advance of wheat futures of
S-11s cents in early dealings lifted
December contracts to the highest
level they have been since the close
of 1887 and to the best price for any
future since February, 1898. This
reflected partly buying credited to
milling interests and continuation of
the Southwestern drought. Profit
taking after the early advance whit
tied these gains and wheat closed
unchanged to u higher compared
with yesterday, December. $685.;
May, $751;. A year ago December
was priced at 63.
Corn closed 1s-as lower, December,
52a4 May, 54A ss oats. unchanged
to IS down; soy beans, 7s-la, lower;
rye, 5s higher to Is down, and lard,
unchanged to lower.
The high December delivery and
cash wheat prices are due in part, pit
brokers said, to the fact that COM
paratively small market supplies
have been received recently because
of the tipping up of much grain under
Government loans. No deliveries of
wheat have been made on December
contracts as yet. Traders said the
current level of prices, almost 20
cents bushel in some cases over
loan rates, might attract some SELL
ing of loan wheat, of which there
are about ISL 100000 bushels. The
loans mature April 30

Postal Receipts Show
Sharp Drop Here
During November
Special Stamp SoIes
Lost Year Caused
Sl0l 400 Increase

Receipts at the City Post Office in
November totaled s677 .293.0S as
compared with s770,85929 in No
vember, 1888, a decrease of S93,-
566.21 or 1918 per cent. it was
learned from postal officials yes
terday.
However the slump was not due
to any let-up in business condi-
tions in the Capital, but to five
new stamp issues which were
brought out at about this time
year ago. these first day covers
causing jump of $101 ,409.79 in
postal revenues in November, 1888.
Deduction of the abnormal new
stamp income left 1888 revenues at
S669 ,2930l. which was S7,87819 or
LII per cent less than the No
vember total this year. The issues
year ago included a 35-cent stamp,
a 50-cent stamp and others that
proved equally popular.
In the first II months of 1929
postal revenues were we'll ahead Of
last year, a total of $1,000 1888. .O5

directly into consumption is greater
than seems to be generally realized.
The machine tool industry. little
brother to steel, again worked at
close to capacity, backed by a huge
load of orders from the allies. other
foreign countries and from the
United States Government for na-
tional defense. Many bookings for
peacetime purposes reinforced the
overload.
Resumption of output by Chrys-
Ter steamed up the automobile
manufacturers and production ad-
vanced more than seasonally ex-
pected Coal and paper production
dropped off a little, but the coun-
try's glass factories increased their
rate a bit. Electrical equipment
manufacturers worked at close to
their top speed. Brass production
was high, with heavy demand COM
ing from the European belligerents
and South American countries for
metal to be used in shell making.
Freight Loadings Down.
Railroad freight carloadings, which
measure to a large extent the goods
going to the ultimate consumer,
dropped off more than usual at this
time of the year for the week ended
November %, but it was pointed out
that such a decline was more than
overdue as the holiday month began.
Carrier executives here for an in
formal meeting, gave as their con-
census there are few signs of
slowing up in business and asserted
they expected freight traffic to con-
tinue well above that of last year.
Cotton textiles production was
down in line with the seasonal trend
but rayon weavers increased their
rate. The fact that Britain and
France have purchased nearly the
entire Indian jute crop for sand
bags, is expected to increase the use
of heavy cotton cloths in this country
and the mills are looking forward
to much additional business after
the turn of the year.
Purchases by the fighting coun-
tries here, except for airplanes, ma
chine tools, brass and grain, were
still slow, and the business COM
munity was under the impression it
would be some time before buying
became heavy.
The price trend of basic commodi-
ties was downward, with rubber,
coal, steel scrap, lumber, eggs, but
ter, hogs. lamb, cotton cloth and tin
off little. Gamers were sugar,
flour, lard. cattle, corn. wheat, oats,
rye, cotton. wool and silk The food
price index dropped another cents.
