without following strict diet
lists, or taking exercises
Or drugs

IRON coast-to-coast, younow hear

eating, and drink q of a glass of
Welch's Grape Juice, mixed with n
of glass of water, before meals and
at bedtime. Thus reducing caloric

Loan Reports Bring
Steadier Tone 10
Wheat Market
Only 1858, 900 Bushels
OF Grain SeoIed
During Week
By GILES FINDLEY,
A =ocIa'ed Press Market Writer

7ocla'ef Press Market Writer.
CHICAGO. Oct ia steadier
tone prevailed in the wheat market
today after traders had noted the
latest reports on the amount OF
farmer -owned wheat on which the
Government was making loans.
The total sealed this last week
was only 1858 900 bushels. less than
a quarter of the 100000 bushels
in the previous week Although
this brought the seasons total to
2l1. 100000 bushels, far in excess
Of last years 10000, 900 bushels for
the entire season, the trade was
encouraged to believe that prices
we're nearing the mark at which
wheat would be sold into market
channels rather than frozen" under
the loan program.
Wheat closed unchanged to i
cent higher than yesterdays finish.
December. S512: May. 84l4: corn.
1:-Ss lower: December, 6O's: May.
Sill, oats unchanged to Is off, and
lard unchanged to lower.
A lack of weakness in stocks
also served to encourage grain
traders. although trade in all the
pits was light. Profit takers. con-
Spicuous in recent sessions on each
fractional advance, were not act
i've today. Prices at one stage
almost reached the seasonal high
levels touched Thursday when
heavy shipping sales were favor
ably noted.
One development tending to hold
trade at slow pace today was the
tendancy to wait week end devel-
opmentS. The Balkan situation
was regarded as critical and there
was little desire to get far from
shore.

u. S. Exports Exceed Imports
BY $1,391, 100000 in Year

while imports declined 1874 per cent
to s1,658,0O0, 900.
Asserting that price advances
were not a significant factor in
either period, the department said
that the increase in exports repre-
sented primarily increases in physi-
cal volume"
The heavy export margin, it add
ed, was .'one of the principal factors
operating to produce a wholly un-
precedented movement Of gold" to
this country. The gold inflow aggre-
gated more than $4,000, 900 900 dur
ing the IL months

[itt|e Change Expected
In Feed Grain ACREAGE
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Oct. 19.-The total
acreage of feed grains in 1941 may
not be changed materially from that
Of 1910 If the agricultural adjust
ment program is continued. on or
about the present basis
Reports from Government Bur-
eau of Agricultural Economics
today indicated there was little
change in the situation for next
year. If weather conditions are
about average. the yield of corn
is expected to be again above the
10-year drought average be-
cause of an increased acreage seeded
to hybrids.
With a larger carryover of corn
and other feed grains. supplies of
feeds next year may again be large,
as compared with livestock require
ments.
Prices of feed grains may con-
tinue high. compared with live
stock prices. during most of the
year. but the relationship may i'm
prove for livestock feeders as the
year advances because of pro-
spective increase in consumer
demand for meats and a reduction
in hog marketings.

Extraordinary Copper
Demand Forecast
In Last Quarter
Reserves at Years End
Expected to Prove
Too Small
Bv the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. Oct. ia Govern
ment canvass this week revealed that
extraordinary demands would be
made by fabricators on the copper
mining and smelling industries dur
ing the flna! quarter Of 1910.
The domestic trade. it was
estimated, would require the record
monthly average of 107.8O tons To
fill foreign orders roughly 1850
tons month would be needed.
The copper industry had on hand
about $4,000 tons at the end Of
September. Production. geared near
peak capacity was running around
$4,000 tons monthly If the Govern
ment forecast were borne out. the
industry would find itself with about
10000 tons of copper on hand at the
end Of the year.
Most observers regard such a
reserve as too small.
Supplies could be maintained
however, it was noted. by the i'm
portation of South American copper
which now has to hurdle Accent a
pound excise tax Copper is priced
roughly at cents pound in South
America.
Primary producers here MAIN
tanned their quotation of II cents
a pound although they continued to
ration available supplies. Con-
sumers unable to fill their needs
fast enough at primary sources
went to the outside market where
they paid premium that reached
to Us cents at the week end.
Demand for export metal picked
up and the price advanced to
around IL cents a pound, up u cent
on the week.
Active buying of lead accompanied
a price lift of 4 cent a pound to
55O-5 55 cents pound, highest since
outbreak of war last September
Some dealers felt that importation
of lead might be profitable at that
level.
Zinc was firm and unchanged at
IS cents a pound. East st. Louis,

NEW YORK. Oct. l9.-After

with 1875 $50 in the short session of
two weeks ago. The market was
closed last Saturday for Columbus

Inspiration Lacking
Some traders inclined to stand
aside in view Of the idea that the
list might be due for a modest
technical setback following the
lengthy forward tilt. Inspiration
from the war news or the home cleo
