8, the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Lagging do
mestic flour demand and restricted
world export trade helped to en-
courage additional profit taking in
the wheat pit today, and prices
slipped off about a cent a bushel
The decline here was associated
with easiness of securities. Helping
to encourage rallies at times was
disclosure that despite the fact that
prices have advanced to above loan
levels the rate at which wheat is
being put up as collateral has been
accelerated. The amount under
Government loan as of Wednesday
totaled l77,020,8O2 bushels, about
100000 more than the volume
sealed up through December last
year. A year ago at this time 1873
458,34l bushels had been sealed.
Storings increased 10, e,123 900 bushels
in the week ending October COM
pared with an increase of 15,1l1 900
the previous week.
Wheat closed 1a-7s lower than
yesterday, Demember, 8l1x-h; May,

BY VICTOR EURANK,


NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Stock mar
ket prices softened on average today
as traders followed the usual prac-
tice of cashing profits at the ap-
proach of week end.
While scattered airlines. coppers
and specialties managed to contest
the trend with occasional modest
advances, leaders generally were of
fractions to a point or so at the
close Extreme declines were wit
messed in the forenoon. After mid
day quotations in most departments
came back from the lows.
Some cheer was seen in the fact
volume dwindled on the backward
shift. Transfers approximated 500
900 shares compared with nearly
100000 the day before
A variety of reasons was given
for the easing of trends. Some Gus
toners trimmed accounts. it was
said, because of the theory the list
was due for a technical correction"
after the recent runup. Others ap-
parently desired to stand aside
pending results of the Hitler-Musso-
lini conference which, it was feared,
might mean a new unsettling war
or peace shift.
The obvious timidity of liquida
ton, AS well as the little buying that
appeared, was attributed to contin-
unace of optimistic business news.
Scattered offerings from British and
Swiss sources again were reported.

part of the day were United tSates

council, in an effort to see what
could be done. He reported at

his report as to their reaction,
it was suggested that the board
of education, the city council,
and the board of control, COM

1t is expected that something
