Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-Slightly in
creased buying power based on the
Southwestern drought was sufficient
to lift wheat prices about a cent a
bushel today to the best level since
the wartime peak was reached on
September T.
However, buying was not on
large scale and, after early gains
of q cent had beer recorded, the
market eased back fractionally. De-
cember wheat, advancing to 1894,
came within y cent of the high
reached just after the outbreak of
war. With the exception of the
prices established then, wheat to-
day was the highest since early in
1898.
No moisture was received in the
hard winter wheat belt overnight,
and continued dry weather was in
prospect The Robinson Elevator
Co. estimated Kansas acreage at
II 100000, compared with 1885, 900
acres seeded last year.
Corn prices advanced fractionally
at times, but then reacted to around
yesterdays close. Much attention
centered on the fact that local stocks
decreased 100000 bushels last week,
whereas ordinarily supplies should
be increasing at this time of the
year.
The supply here, totaling 1885,
900 bushels, includes approximately
100000 bushels of Government
corn. Domestic visible supply last
week increased only 100000 BUSH
els, compared with 10,5OO,O0O the
corresponding week last year.
Oats prices were steady, while rye
advanced fractionally with wheat.
Soy beans rose almost 2 cents at
times, with May contracts quoted
at ST..
Lard prices also were higher.
AT III am, wheat was Ia. high
er compared with yesterdays finish,
December, 885s; May, S7l2, and
corn was Is lower to 4 higher, De-
cember, SOS; May, 1914.

Mail Order Shares
Up Fractions 10 81
On Chicago Mart
General Motors Rises
Point as Result Of
Dividend Action
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-Buying in
terest in the stock market today was
virtually limited to mail order COM
pany shares and motor and aviation
issues, these generally scoring gains
of fractions to about a point.
Trade, however, was very slow and
transfers during the first hour and
half totaled only about 1000
shares.
Stimulated by the best sales for
any october in its history, Mont
gomery Ward advanced % point.
Sears Roebuck was up as much.
Fractional gains were scored by
aviation issues, among them Aero
Equipment and Bendix, but aviation
and transportation was off slightly
from yesterdays close.
General Motors, rejecting the
company's dividend action yesterday
advanced a point to SIS.
There was a little interest in utili-
ties, but the few transfers made were
at unchanged prices. Otherwise the
list was generally neglected.
Most of the Nations financial
markets, including the New York
Stock Exchange, were closed, and
this contributed to the slow market
action here.

Midway on the 300-mile stretch is
Upsala where two tar-papered
shacks represent the general store
and the hotel. It's the only licens-

out. People there work on the rail-
road, the highway, and depend on
the government, he learned. TITS
