Wheat Prices Remain
Strong Because Of
Light Offerings
foirIy Active Milling
Inquiry Also Cited
As Factor in Week
BY the Associated Press.

by tDe hSSoClateQ FTeSS.
Unusually small receipts Of winter
wheat and light open market offer
ings of spring wheat were respon-
sible for the continued strong con-
dition of wheat markets during the
last week in August, the Agriculture
Department has reported.
Another factor, the department
added, was the fairly active mill
ing inquiry.
Domestic wheat markets advanced
2 to 3 cents bushel and premiums
remained firm.
While marketings of spring wheat
approached'a peak with over $500
cars received at Minneapolis and
Duluth, the department said large
percentage of the arrivals went into
storage for Federal loans and open
marketings we're relatively light.
Stocks of wheat under loans con-
tinued 10 increase with a total OF
more than 100000 bushels re-
ported to August 27
The department said the quality
of the current spring whea. re-
ceipts was not up to that OF earlier
arrivals as result of wet weather
throughout the harvesting area.
Marketings of winter wheat con-
tinued to decrease with only about
$50 cars received last week at lead
ing markets. The department said
only relatively small proportion
Of the receipts were offered for sale
Stronger corn markets also were
reported. The department said corr
prices advanced 2 TO 8 cents a
bushel. influenced by only moderate
market receipts and uncertain new
crop prospects.

Cotton Prices STAY
In Narrow Groove
During Week
Futures at New York
Rule One Lower to
Ten Points Higher
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Cotton
continued to move in a narrow
groove last week with turnover light
and day-to-day fluctuations limited
to only a few points. On the New
York Cotton Exchange active future
deliveries showed net changes for
the week of a decline Of / TO an
advance of 10 points.
With the increase in the move
ment of new crop cotton, there was
some tendency for hedging TO in
crease, but it continued small due
partly to the slight volume of spot
buying in consequence of the great
curtallment of export outlets and
partly TO the movement of cotton
into the Government loan stock
The opinion was expressed in some
quarters that several million bales
of new crop cotton would go under
Government loan
The new crop continued to develop
faVorably and the belief became
more general that the next Gov
ernment crop estimate would be
larger than that of August s. 1t

Reports from the domestic cloth
market and cotton mill center con-
tinued cheerful. The mills sold a
large volume during the week
Members of the trade who have
doubted domestic consumption of
cotton this season would be very
large have, in many cases, revised
their opinions.
The export situation continues
very depressing. During the past
week only 10000 bales of cotton were
shipped as against $4,000 in the same
week a year ago and 10000 Two
years ago. For the season through
last week total shipments sggre-
gated 81 900 bales as against 255 900
in the same period last season and
263 1000 two seasons ago.
Distant deliveries of cotton con-
tinue to sell considerably oelow
levels which would attract the new
crop away from Government loan
stock. There is little straddling be-
tween domestic futures markets and
foreign futures markets.
During the week ending last
Thursday. the volume of trading in
futures on the New York Cotton
Exchange. counting one side only
totaled 232000 bales At this time
last year weekly volumes were run

The open contracts for future de-
liverles on the New York Cotton EX-

Having mastered the dog paddle,

is an alternate pull, with neither

kick is used, the legs drawn up
and then kicked out in a scissors

er forget how.
The basis of swimming is con-
fidence. The coordination necessary
for the various swimming strokes
comes easily once the fear of the
water is overcome. The first lesson,
therefore, is to learn how to
breathe and to become accustomed
to holding the breath under water.
Some beginners have a feeling
of suffocation when their head is
under water and Immediately be-
come terrified. To overcome this,
stand in shallow water and duck
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-06-16

your head under the surface to
get used to the feeling of pressure.
Then, holding the breath, if neces-
sary with the fingers holding the
nose, squat under the water, open
your eyes and look at your hand.
Keeping the eyes open adds to the
feeling of confidence.
Correct form in the water can
not be obtained without correct
breathing. The first thing to re-
member is that breathing in the
water is exactly the opposite of
breathing on land. For swimming,
you inhale through the mouth, ex-
hale through the nose. In practical
ly all strokes except the breast
stroke, the head is under water
much of the time, so it is obvious
that inhalation through the nose
is impossible.
Practice inhaling through the

mouth and exhaling through the
nose before entering the water,
then practice it in the water. Take
a breath through the mouth, SUBJ
merge and blow out the air through
the nose. If his correct method of
breathing is used, the swimmer
will be able to develop confidence,
rhythm and speed, also the relax
alton which is an essential part of
good swimming.
Though there is considerable de-
coaches as to the first stroke which
bate among foremost swimming
should be taught the beginner,
am an advocate of the simple dog
paddle, in shallow water. Perhaps
that is because I, myself, first
learned to swim with that stroke.
Practice this dog paddle in wat
err about three or four feet deep.
Just become used to the buoyancy
of the body at first. This instills
confidence, and if you have learned
the secret of breathing, you won't

sport, of course, it is desirable tc
