and wheat price declines of about
a cent a bushel, was taken in stride
by the grain market today with
little or no price reaction.
On the contrary, corn prices rose
as much as l 1-8 cents at one
time, with wheat up So cent. Buy
ing of corn was attributed largely
to disappointment of some dealers
as to the amount of moisture re-
ceived over most of the belt, except
in Iowa. They pointed out that con.
tlnued unsettled weather with reg
ular doses of moisture is necessary
to maintain crop conditions in most
regions. This was promised for the

at times came from mills.

Hedging sales against bookings
of 120, 900 bushels of corr to arrive

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Half century before columbus
sailed to the New World, German
named Muenster set down words
with this meaning:
"At Heidelberg I talked with sew
, eral of these people (gypsies). They
claimed to have letters from en-
perors and princes. I saw one of the
letters, from Emperor Sigismund.
THE letter said that the ancestors
of these people had lived in Egypt,
and had given up the Christian
faith to become pagans again. When
they went back to Christianity, they
were given penance which made
them wander for seven years. Their
children also had to wander in like
manner.
"Now their penance has expired,
but they still wander about. They
still lie and steal and tell fortunes"
There is no proof that the wander
ing of the gypsies started in that
way. As have said, it seems clear
that their early homeland was India.
Some went to India, others to
Turkey, Egypt, Greece and other
countries.
Gypsies usually took on the re-
iigions of the countries they visited.
hSome turned Mohammedans, others
became Christians. A great number

After Vests diamond opening.
South could count six tricks in the
minor suits; but the major suits
were an unknown quantity. If he
had led spades, fourth hand would
win the trick, leaving the other de-
Gender with a tenace over the re-
manning spade honor. And If South
tried to develop q heart trick, he
would run up against the same type
of stone wall.
South knew, however, that either
suit would surely produce a trick II
East or West had to lead it. De-
clarer therefore planned to force
the opponents to start the major
suits.
He won the first trick with the
king of diamonds, cashed the four
clubs and the diamond ace, and
exited with a diamond. West took
two diamond tricks. while South
carefully kept stopper in each
major. Then East and West could
play however they iked-they could
not prevent South from winning
one more trick.

Association yesterday with "ill-tem-

ment batting"
The S. E. c. statement responded
to a 66-page letter made public by
the bankers group in New York
Monday night. That letter replied
to an earlier commission request
for suggestions on improving a rule
governing "arm's-length bargain

Asserting that it had asked "in
good faith" for the suggestions, the
commission said it regretted the as
sociation had taken the opportunity
to make "a lengthy assault on all
the statutes of the past seven years
protecting investors and con-
sumers."
I'VE had hoped" the S. E. c..
said. that, as representatives of
leading investment bankers de-

the I. B. A. might produce some
