A ' / if | i] il « { i i \ Qj 1 a { Ae ' > j DAY, OCTOBER GRAIN LIVESTOCK GRAIN PRICES TAKE SETBACK United States Government Crop Report Causes Drop— Has Bearish Aspect Chicago, Oct. 11.—(7)—Grain un- derwent an all around early drop in tice today, tumbled down by the Inited States government crop re- port. All deliveries of corn reached a new low price record for the sea- son. Opening, at 42@1% cents set- back, wheat afterward showed some additional losses. Corn started 1%@2% cents off, and then recovered to a moderate extent. Oats declined, but. held better than corn or wheat. Provisions as well as cereals went down grade. Notwithstanding that the Cana- dian government crop report is con- strued as bullish, wheat traders here devoted theuselves far more to- day to the unexpected bearish as- pect of the United Stuter crop fig- ures. In this connection, authvrita- tive European advices at hand said the future course of wheat values abroid would depend on the volume of North American offers and on growing conditions in the southern hemisphere. Tcday’s Australian crop news was less favorabel, but Argentine crop news was auspicious. In the corn crowd, particular notice was taken of government comment that the Kansas estimated yield of corn, 171,000,000 bushels, is the best crop the state Las raised since 1915, and about th.ce times as much as last year’s Kansas corn harvest. Besides, the - indicated Kansas crop of kaffir. milo, maize and feterita, 39,913,000 bushels, is the largest on record.

STOCK PRICES MOVE UPWARD Few New Weak Spots Uncov- ered, But General Course of Prices Takes Uptrend 40 New York, Oct. 11.—(4)—Opera-' tors working for higher prices re- gained control of the price move- ment in today’s stock market after an early period of irregrlarity. A few new weak spots were uncovered by bear traders but ‘.eavy buying of nited States Steel common and General Motors finally turned the general course of prices upward. Call money was again in plentiful supply at the reneweal figure of 4 per cent. The weekly steel trade reviews continued to stress the absence of the expected pick up in demand, the Tron Age’s composite price for est level in five years.

S. as Result of High Court Decisions Washington, Oct. 11—(AP)—Oil| reserve lands in Wyoming and Cali- fornia, set aside ‘by President Taft more than two decades ago for the use of the navy and disposed of by Albert B. Fall, in the early days of | © the Harding administration, finally have been returned to the govern- ment. In a sharply worded opinion the supreme court has ordered the Tea- pot Dome reserve in Wyoming, which Fall leased to Harry F. Sin- clair’s Mammoth Oil company, re- stored to the government, finding as | ® it did earlier in the year in the can- cellation of Fall’s lease of the Elk Hill reserve in California to Edward L. Doheny that the transaction was made “by means of a collusion and conspiracy.” As a result of the two decisions, more than $18,000,000 accrue to the} @ government which in addition re- gains title to the vast petroleum] S fields—$13,000,000 having been col-| Sout lected from Doheny’s company and $5,200,000 being involved in the Sin- clair deal for oil taken from the re- serve, while they held the leases. « Four Suits Terminated In bringing to a close the long- fought civil case to re} the Tea- pot Dome field, the government terminated four of six crimins and civil cases aris’ sensational senate which disclosed a scandal that tounded the country three ye ago. Next Monday Sinclair faces trial with Fall on an_ indictment charging t al cc ey in the negotiation of the le: neeled by the supreme court and there is to be tried the case against F Doheny and his son, Edward L. who are charged with conspir: based on the incident of “the litt black satchel,” in which young Do- heny brought the former interior secretary $100,000 which the gov- ernment contends was bribe money.

In treating the case the decision, which was unanimous except that Justices Stone and Van Devanter did not participate, was severe through- out in its condemnation of the form- er interior secretary, declaring that the lease and agreement affeeted by him and Sinclair “were made fraud- ulently by means of collusion and conspiracy between them.” Re ring to the transaction by wh $70,000 in liberty bonds found they way to Fall through the Continental Trading company, an organization of which Sinclair was a member and organized in Canada to purchase oil in this country, the court declared that “the clandestine and unex- plained acquisition of these bonds by Fall confirms the belief, gencrated by other circumstances in the case, tWat he was a faithless public offi- cer.” RUTH ELDER TO TAKE OFF FOR PARIS TODAY (Continued from page one) have one son, Billy, four years old.

S. Joseph company of Mi.1eapolis, heavy indirect losses occurred which are not reflected in the financial statements, according to O. B. Lund, who audited the affairs of the insti- tution for the state board of audi- tors. Commenting on the mill feed sales, Lund said: “During the months of July and September, 1926, sales contracts were entered into by the state mill to deliver to I. S. 300 tons of mill feed at $21 per ton, f. o. b. Minneapolis.” The contracts, 26 in number, are set up in detail in the report. Continuing his comment, Lund said: “This price was from two to three dollars below the price quota- tions at the mill at the date of these sales, which in itself might not be far out of line in selling the feed in these quantities on eastern markets, providing ‘ley had the feed to deliver and there was no nearby market for same “The local: condition existing at the dates of these feed sales. was that the state of North Dakota was going into the fall and winter of 1926 and 1927 with one of the short- est feed crops in history. Trans- portation companies were being pre- vailed upon at that time to reduce their freight rates on feed into North Dakota to tide the livestock in the state over the winter. Various counties of the state were consid- ering, and later did, bond and loan funds for shipping seed and feed into the drouth-stricken section of the state. . Unable to Make Delivery “In the face of this condition the mill owned by the state co:utracted to deliver its mill feed products for the next six months to Eastern markets at $21 per ton in such large quantities that they were un- able to make delivery on all the sales made and were obliged to can- cel a part of these contracts at a cost of $7 per ton. A cach ee ment of $10,654 wa. made to I. S, Joseph company of Minneapolis for the cancellation of 1,522 tons of feed on this basis, which was a direct cash loss to the state mill that can be accurately se! up. “The loss sustained on the sales filled, the loss of local flour sales, owing to the inability to furnish feed with the flour, and the loss to the patrons of the mill was con- siderable and is not reflected in the operating statements of the mill. Although it is difficult to set the items up separately to show what the amounts might be, it reflected considerable indirect loss to the well-being of the institution.” No New Developments on Farm Legislation Washington, Oct. 11—(AP)—The brief statement that there have been no special developments regarding farm legislation was made today at the White House.
