PRICE OF WHEAT — FIRM AT CHICAGO! Quotations Hold at Level Which Brought Government ' Into Market i } Chicago, Nov. 19.—(AP)—Wheat } prices today held at the levels at| which the United States government entered the market last week, with-/ out much apparent effort on the part of the stabilization corporation. | Prices were high all morning, re-} flecting to a lesser extent the re-! covery of the Winnipeg market, and! at noon wheat was unchanged to 5-8} cent higher. H There were some purchases by} n houses who have been handling government trades but nothing to compare with the huge; transactions yesterday which kept the Chicago prices fairly steady while other world markets were toppling. December wheat, old-style con- tract, opened an deontinued until! noon at 73, the point at which the stabilization efforts started. New May wheat, the other future in which government agencies appear to be particularly interested, was likewise steady, being quoted at noon at approximately the same figure it closed at yesterday—76 1-8. Other wheat futu oats were fi Reports were received at the board of trade today from Mexico City to the effect that the Mexiean govern- ment had arranged for the purchase of 200,000 bushels of Canadian wheat | from the Canadian pool, The purchase was said to have been arranged by the Mexican com- mercial attache at Ottawa and was | due to the insufficiency of the Mexi- can crop for home use, The wheat will be transported by rail and water, said the reports, with its transport late in December. Favorable news during the last hour of trading, including the report- ed agreement of Canadian banks to protect margins on pool holding on wheat, brought on a little additional buying and the closing wheat figures j all showed gains over yesterday. Ranging from 1-8 to 1-4 for Decem- ber futures to 7-8 to 1 1-8 for May, old style contract. ¢- , Lein j > By OLGA M.

Keep Taxes Down, Says Conklin | Mr. Conklin made an observation |that will be pressed on the attention of the legislators at the coming ses- sion. He said the tax burden must be kept within limits. He had seen, he said, that it was contemplated to in-| jerease the state budget $3,000,000 | Among the reasons he cited for keep-| ing taxes down was the shifting of | ‘land from private ownership to state | ownership as a result of foreclosures. | In one township of the state, which | That entails more tax, Mr. Bell cited as source of credit loans that may be made on real es- tate has about been reached.

We've been in a lethargy from which only a real alarm could arouse Us. But we've heard the alarm now ... the alarm of stagnant business; factories with muted machinery and deplorable unemployment. . . and we’re ready now to get up and put our dollars to work.

It’s time now for us to put activity back of our resources; to indulge our desires; to release the money we have been hoard- ing ... in other words to buy: so that merchants can move their goods, place orders with the factories for more; enable the factories to employ more men and give to those men in wages the means to buy what you yourself sell or produce. But we must all do our part in this Buy Now program. Don’t wait for “George to do it” or George will wait for us and none of us will get anywhere. You start patronizing George today and George will start buying from Tom, and Tom from Dick and Dick from Harry and Harry from you.

What is required is intelligent handling of our resources. ;“We are on the way,” he added, citing Jan increase of 71 per ent in dairy- jing, 205 in hogs, 152 in poultrying, and 302 in mutton and wool in eight stabil- ity ahead.
