yg WHEAT RRIGS FALL 10 NEW LOW LEVEL Enlarged Estimates of Argen- tine Exportable Surplus Causes Setback Chicago, Dec. 28.—(P)—With an-| louncement today that the combined surplus wheat of Argentina and Aus- tralia agregates 348,000,000 bushels wheat prices here tended downward 4drom the start. The total named is in contrast with 286,000,000 bu actual- ly cleared from those countries last season. Corn likewise went lower sympathizing with wheat, and as a result of the fact that month-end de- liveries today on December corn con tracts here amounted to not far from 8 million bushels, a total apparently considerably in excess of what buyers were ready to accept. Wheat closed unsettled at the same as yesterday’s finish to “Ke lower (Dec, 1.13% to %, Mch 1.17%, May 120% to %, May 1.2159). Corn %4c to 1c off, (Dec. 85% to '2, Mch .88% to 14 to %, May 90% to %%, July 92%). Oats tac to % to tic down, (Dec 4812. Mch 474%, May .4814 to 4), and provisions varying from 12c decline vebo a rise of 25¢. New authoritative figures today from Argentin: on the amount of wheat available there for shipment to other countries put the total at 220,000,000 bushels to 238,000,000 bush- els. This was construed to mean a crop of more then 300,000,0000 bush- els, 60,000,000 more than last year's first official estimate, today's figures represented an increase of 18,000,000 bushels over the latest previous fore- cast, and persistent selling here dis- closed that the market had relatively poor support. Nearly half a million bushels of corn was handed over at the outset today to satisfy Chicago December contracts. This amount was the largest early delivery which had been witnessed so far in the December set- tlement, and was accordingly treated was a bearish factor. There were also predictions of colder weather. On the other hand, today’s fresh arrivals of corn here were only 229 cars, and other cities were reported as outbid- ding Chicago for corn from down tdtate points in Ilinois. | In corn December lost ground as compared with May. Buying against bids and for commission houses ab- sorbed the offerings on the declines December oats acted tight and went to around Kc over May. | Provisions were firmer. WHEAT RALLIES AFTER UNDERGOING EARLY DIP Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 28.—()}— Wheat dipped sharply early today but support was met and a part way rally followed. Some of the buying was against downward privileges. May dropped one cent to a new lov for the life of the option. Oats started firm and turned easy with corn. Barley futures were easy with a narrow range. Rye broke with wheat on scattered selling by tired holders. Flaxseed futures were easy with grain. Cash wheat offerings were scanty and holders asked more, Buyers paid unchanged premiums for most of the spring wheat on the tables. eral tone was steady to firm. Winter wheat was in small supply Basis was steady. Durum was quiet for poor with choice milling quality in good de- mand. Corn was steady. Offerings were lighter. Oats were quiet except for choice. y Good milling quality rye was in fair ‘to good demand with argoty slow. Barley was quiet and easy at 50 to 66 cents. Flax seed was quiet to fair demand.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE STRENGTH IS SHOWN ON STOCK EXCHANGE Price Rises Recorded in Face] of Greatest Credit Strin- gency of Year New York, Dec. 27.—(?)—The stock market gave an extraordinary demon- stration of strength today in the face of the greatest credit stringency of the year. Although a temporary sink- ing spell around midday carried a dozen issues down 2 to 12 points, buy- | ing support was quickly provided and the general market headed upward again by early afternoon. Thirty “or more issues were marked up 4 to 21'2 Points, with at least a score of issues setting new high records for the year. Call money renewed at 12 per cent,’ the highest opening rate since Feb- ruary, 1920, and held steady at that figure through the morning trading despite the calling of about $35,000,000 in bank loans. Time money held firm eround the recent high levels. Although some easing in call rates 1s expected after the first of the year, the persistent firmness of time money is a source of uneasiness in conserva- tive brokerage circles. “Bear” traders, who sold stocks! heavily last week in the hope of cov- ering them at a profit on the expected reaction coincident with the flurry in money, were forced to bid high to buy back their stocks in today’s market. National Tea ran up 21%: points on top of an 18-point gain yesterday. International Harvester jumped 141: points, Burroughs Adding Machine 12%, Radio 12%, Safeway Stores 114, Wright Aeropautical 10, and General Electric, Johns Manville, A. M. Byers, Allis-Chalmers, Commercial Solvents, National Biscuit, Borden's, and Public Service of New Jersey sold 6 to & points higher. Among the many stocks to move into new high ground were Kennecott ‘nd Nevada Coppers, Goodrich Rub- ber, General Electric, Atlantic Refin- ing, Air Reduction, and Stewart- ‘Warner. Rails moved forward with the in- Bellies 12.37. CHICAGO PRODUCE Chicago, Dec. 23.—()—Additional losses were noted in butter prices, continued liberal offerings having a depressing effect.

CAL'S SHOOTING EYE. | HARD ON PHEASANTS AS HE GETS HIS BAG President After Day of Pheas- ant and Wild Turkey Hunt- ing Seeks Quail Sapelo, Island, Ga., Dec. 28.—(P)— | President Coolidge’s first taste -of | Georgia hunting proved so much ta} his liking that today he asked for: more. i Accordingly a party was made up to accompany the chief executive up- on a second trip to the hunting pre- serves of his host, Howard E. Coffin, | Whose island estate is stocked with game birds of many varieties. Today, Mr. Coolidge was in search of quail on Sapelo Island itself while yester- day he was successful in bagging pheasants and wild turkey upon an- other island.a short distance away known as Little Sapelo. Mrs. Coolidge agreed to go along and watch and possibly to put her own marksmanship to the test. The president, recalling his recent unsuccessful venture after quail in Virginia, was clated by the results of yesterday's hunting. Three pheas- ants whirring before the chief ex- ecutive in swift flight fell before his | marksmanship and to these he added ; two wild turkeys, while Colonel E. W. Starling, of the White House secret service, the only member of the par- ty to engage in the shooting, in- creased the day’s bag by three pheas-> ants. Shooting is, for the president, a re- cently cul'vsted hobby. He received | his first taste of the sport blazing; away at clay pigeons during his va- cation last stromer in Wisconsin.

ANXIETY FOR KINGS LESSENED AS SLIGHT RECOVERY IS SHOWN Weakness and Deficiency of Recuperative Power Wor- ries His Physicians London, Dec. 28.—(?)—King George has regained some of the ground which he lost yesterday, but his con- dition was fraught with anxiety and in well-informed circles it was thought that his majesty still has a hard fight for life ahead of him. The king’s physicians reported this morning that while the condition of the affected lung region had definite- ly improved, his general condition has not shown the same progress. In other words weakness and a defi- ciency of recuperative power persist to a serious degree. A lengthy consultation was held this morning by five of the noted specialists who have been attending his majesty. It was devoted partially to a general review of the progress that he has been making. More strikingly, however, it was revealed that new measures had been considered and adopted for remedy- ing the situation caused by the fail- ure of the patient to respond in a bet- ter degree to treatment designed to build up his strength and to pull him through to convalescence. There was no hint at this time as to what these measures would be. It was evident that one difficulty which bothered the doctors had been overcome to some degree as it was stated that the king was taking nour- ishment more readily. ‘The crowd around the palace gates which had been comparatively small for several days when the reports in- dicated that the king’s condition was taking a better turn, was much larg- er this morning. Men and women stood in the cold damp air for hours until the bulletin was issued, anxious to see if there had been any change in his majesty’s condition during the night.

BELGIUM VILLAGES FLOODED BY RIVER Gale Swept Tide and Swollen Rivers Inundate 7,000 Acres of Farm Land Brussels, Belgium, Dec. 28.—(4)— Nearly 7,000 acres of land and five villages near Termonde were under water today. Floods, pushed along b; a violent gale and augmented by th waters of the tide rushing inland, swept over a section of the lowlands. Greater destruction than occurred four weeks ago was threatened. Just as a month ago the new floods came suddenly and without warning. High winds pushed far inland the waters of the swollen Scheldt which met an exceptionally hizh tide. Much suf‘ering and damage have resulted already and losses greater than those of 2 month ago repre- dicted. STUNT FLYER HURT! Westfield, N. J., Dec. 28—(.
