SOY bean futures. which slumped a.
much as cents a bushel the maxi
mum drop permitted in one day,
grain prices turned sharply lower in
all pits TODAY. Wheat and corn fell
2 cents or more.
Selling inspired by weakness Of

weakness. In the spot market SOY

instances. rejecting unwillingness Of
commercial interests as well as deal

The hike marked the first Of a

Flames Break Out in
TRIP. Barn; One
Bus Damaged

Static electricity was listed as
the probable cause of fire that
caused 81. 200 damage to a bus and
briefly threatened the T. r. d z.
Co. barn at 1906 A st. Tuesday
morning.
The rear end of the bus was
enveloped in fire when gasoline
being drained from the fuel tank
ignited. Flames shot up and ig-
nited a section of the ceiling ~
feet above, but caused little dam
age there.
Employees of the firm rolled the
bus outside from the pit on which
it was standing when the fire
started. The bus was being drained
preparatory to a repair job. but
the resulting fire was so hot that
part Of the aluminium body melted
and the interior and furnishings
were scared and scorched. CITY
firemen, summoned at 9:16 a. m,
soon had the fire under control.
Assistant Fire Chief S. L. Buck,
who said a static spark probably
started the fire. gave credit to
the bus line employees on the scene
for preventing greater damage.
