Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-Wheat price,
slumped about two cents q bushel
today as profit taking and profes.
sional selling was renewed in suf-
ficient force to snuff out an early
upturn.
The downturn was accelerated by
execution of stop loss orders placed
by dealers who had moderate sized
holdings. Pit brokers attributed
some of the early strength to the
action of securities and to buying
that may have originated with pro-
cessors and industries but there was
no confirmation of any large scale
milling or flour business.
Some of the markets weakness
was attributed to the fact that while
the amount of grain now in storage
under Government loans is the larg-
est on record, the rate of borrowing
on wheat collateral is sharply below
that Of few weeks ago. The amount
of loan wheat on October % was
227 17l,750 bushels This represented
an increase of 1853 900 bushels for
the week ending that date compared
with an increase of 1858 900 the pre-
vious week Weekly increases earlier
in the season averaged almost 20
600 900 bushels.
Practically all of the gain was in
the Northwest. The total now un-
der loan in Minnesota, North and
South Dakota and Montana is ap-
proximately 73 1000 900 bushels. while
the crop in these States was about
l94.000000 bushels. traders said. The
amount under loan in all States is
about 85000.000 greater than a year
ago and 60.O00.OOO greater than total
put up for collateral during all of
last season.
Corn sagged about a cent in SYM
pathy with wheat, while oats and
rye prices were fractionally lower
Pit brokers said some of the corn
weakness may have been associated
with the larger supply of new corn
that has been available in the spot
market recently. They said 80 cars
of cash grain sold here yesterday
accounted for the best spot business
in some time.
Lard prices were steady.
At II am. wheat was 1ss-l34
lower compared with yesterdays

CHAPTER IX.

One of Algae's last recollections Of
his escape from the Inflated
Georgia was looking up At the
bridge from where he stood on the
deck of the speedboat and seeing
outlined against the moonlit sky
and the wild red flare from the
burning ship. the captain. The
man looked like some unearthly SEN
.tinel. standing there silent and rigid
his hands at his sides, his head
lifted as If In prayer.
Algae remembered shouting al
him-he didn't know what he said
but the captain paid no attention
probably didn't hear. His back was
to Algae and he was at attention
waiting quietly for the summons
that he alone would hear. He was
going to the bottom with his ship
according to the tradition of the
sea.
Then the giant hulk of the Geor-
gia began to shuuder and Algae
frantically worked at the motor OF
the speedboat. He had the davits
swung out over the side and he
had lowered the stern as far a.
he could, so that the small craft
would slip into the water as nearly
as possible on an even keel. He
got the engine started and put il
into gear. The hum of the propel.
Ter was reassuring and he coulG
feel by turning the wheel that the
steering apparatus was in good or.
der. He pulled Dick inside the
small cabin and laid him ON the
floor.
The Georgia was staying up 6
long tonne, longer by far than Algat
had expected it would. But he haC
