CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Feb. 21- R - The
wheat market consolidated h e
weeks Scent advance with little
difficulty today, although prices
fluctuated nervously over range
of about a cent.
An early upturn Of about 3.8 cent
established new highs for the re-
covery move but the m a k t
slumped rather sharply later only
to recover and close unchanged
to 3-8 lower compared with yes
terday, May 80 7-s to 81, July IS
3-4 to 7-8.
Profit taking, evening up sales
for the holidays and independent
weakness of corn, rye, soybeans
and lard unsettled wheat trade.
Offsetting this, however, was sup
port that came from mills or was
inspired by additional crop COM
plants from the southwest. The
threatening international situation,
with reports of troop movements
In the Balkans, maneuvers in the
Pacific and presence of German
laid" units in Spain, caused deal
ers to keep their accounts adjust
ed, if possible, for any eventuality
over the weekend.
Corn closed 3-8 to 1-2 lower than
yesterday, LAY SO 5-8, July 60 IA;
oats unchanged to 3-8 off; Soy

EXCHANGE CLUB
HEARS BLANT0N
Chief Problem Is Whether
World Is Strong Enough
For Present Crisis

1.-THE only question that remains
for Americans in the world crisis
of today is whether we are strong
enough to take it," the Rev. San
key Lee Blanton, pastor of h 9
First Baptist church, told the Will
mington Exchange club in weekly
luncheon session yesterday at the
Cape Fear hotel.
''Weakness is an objectionable
sin in the present world crisis"
the Rev. Mr.. Blanton pointed out,
land weak nation can not sur
vive. Americans must face the
question of whether we are men
tally, spiritually, and physically
strong enough to take it,"
The nations of the world, he
said, are facing grim forebodings
with the approach of spring, as
great armies continue to jockey
for position in continental Europe
in preparation for great carnage
that is in the very offing.
The Rev. Mr.. Blanton was i'm
troduced by Rev. c. D. Barclift,
member of the club and pastor
Of the Fifth Avenue Methodist
church. IF we are to understand
our American heritage, We must
have knowledge of American his
tory which is closely intertwined
with European history" he said.
Ed T. Jones, president of the
club, presided; the Rev. Frederick
Turner, guest Of the Rev. E. F.
Keever, club chaplain, gave tho
invocation; J. Arthur Brown was
program chairman; a n d Oscar
Simpson presented the athletio
committee report.
Exchangite J. H. Fussell OUT
lined plans for a special meeting
of the board Of control Of North
Carolina Exchange clubs here on
Sunday, March 16. The club voted
to dispense with its luncheon ses-
sion on Friday, March IA. and hold
an outing for the visitors the fol-
lowing day.
Fussell reported plans wers
rapidly nearing completion for the
annual convention of Exchange
mington in June and the airplane
clubs in North Carolina in Will
model meet which will be held at
the same time.
