THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1930 ll WAHT AINA uy pa) ee ———— ee CORN STAGES SHARP ADVANCE FOLLOWING NEW SUGAR DECISION New Avenue For Corn Con- 4 sumption Helps Price Rise From Record Low Chicago, Dec. 27.—(@)—Corn ad- vanced sharply in price today toward | the last, with increased attention be-; ing given to new regulations permnit- ! ting extensive general use of ¢orn | sugar. It was predicted that tM new: regulations would result in @ possible additional use of 100,000,000 bushels of corn yearly. Under such circum- stances, a rise of nearly 2 cents from record-breaking. bottom quotations reached today for.corn was witnessed, and wheat also rallied from fresh low- | record prices. ! Corn closed unsettled 1 c-1% ¢ per) bushel higher than yesterday's finish, December old 62%. c, May new) 68-681; c. Wheat closed irregular, 44 ¢ net lower to % c advance, May | new 81%4-% c, July 634-% c, oats | 4 © off to %% c up, and provisions | unchanged to a setback of 37 c. Oversold conditions were soon; shown to exist both in corn and) wheat today when some traders at- tempted to switch to the buying side! of the market on declines. Prices.ral- lies were also promoted by statements | in some quarters that action of Can-| adian line elevators in agresing to pay! the growers’ pool basis for wheat was! regarded as practically establishing a guaranteed price for wheat in Can-} ada. A sharp falling off shown in the volume of today’s primary Tem) ceipts of corn was likewise a stimulus |G, to buyers. i Arrivals of corn, today amounted to} but 50 cars, compared with 125 cars a! week ago and 293-cars at this time; last year. All primary centers taken, together received. only 709,000 bushels, of corn today, as against 1,090,000) week and 1,353,000 bushels a yer ago. | Meanwhile, talk wes heard that. with) the larger corn consuming months |E! ahead and with corn on a profitable! feeding basis a period of decidedly small receipts could now be looked for. | Oats duplicated the course of other) cereals. | Provisions were responsive changes in grain values. Corn prices at some stages today | were about 4 1-2c lower than when) the 1930 promise for upward of a) 3,000,000,000 bushels corn crop. It was! pointed out in this connection that) the crop is now figured as under/ 2,100,000,000 bushels, and that little! chance appears for demand being in-/ creased by any further price setbacks. to! | WHEAT FUTURES MEET | SELLING, QUICK UPTURN Minneapolis, Dec. 27.—()--Wheat futures opened quiet here today and met with selling on early rallies but | quick upturn at Winnipeg seemed | to have beneficial effect here and some short covering helped matters. | December closed ic higher, May un- | changed, and July *c lower. ! Farm board buying here continued and about 1,500,000 bushels of May; were takeri against back-spreads ne} tween Minneapolis and Chicago. H Corn futures opened weak but turned suddenly and advanced a cent on short covering. Oats followed corn in a mild way. Rye dipped on stop-! loss orders and then rallied with wheat. Barley was taken freely by cash houses and the farm board agencies | were bidding for December. Flax; was depressed by weak Argentine | cables. ie i Cash wheat réceipts were light and | in quiet to fair demand, only the; damaged stuff being really neglected. | Winter and durum were quiet to slow an_unchanged. ' Cash corn was quiet and un- changed. Oats demand was slow to | cull, Rye demand was indifferent | again except for the Rosen types. Barley of malting quality was. want- ed and hard to find. Feed ‘grades were quict. Flax offerings were light and in fair to-good demand. i SO. ST.

Morton 4:H | Club Members Get Pins) Approximately 63 pins were award- | ed 4-H club members in Morton | »;| County this week according to R. C. | Newcamber, Morton county agricul- | ture agent.

The pins are being donated by the Mandan Rotary club. Members of the Morton county 4-H clubs for more than two years will receive sil- ver pins when they turn in records of their projects and return the bronze pin that was given in 1929 by the Rotary club for first year mem- i) bers.

For the last week the Heart river has served residents along its banks as a speed way. But Mandan’s skating rinks will not freeze. Santa Claus and the weather man do not seem to cooperate. Santa gave skates to many of the Mandan children, but they can’t use them until they have ice. “It hasn't been cold enough to freeze ground that is unsat- urated with water,” says Sig Ravnos, superintendent of Man- dan waterworks. The Heart river bed has so much moisture in it that it freezes more readily than a shallow pond that has re- cently had an addition of a large amount of water. The water on a skating rink in this kind of weather merely sinks in the i | full week of closes today apathy fi- nancial markets accentuating a de- pression that has already run for many months, Stocks, after losing half of the p: vious week's gains, enjoyed a Chri. mas rally not so whole-hearted as it might have been and the decline was resumed yesterday, Bonds, although firmer, showed they were ‘not to be hurried into a violent bull moyement. There was some change for the better in the metal markets, but the weekly statistics from the railroads, the steel Industry and building con- struction, together with another string of bank suspensions and a rall- road receivership, were not partic- ularly, gay ornaments for Wall Stieet’s Christmas tree. The New York Federal Reserve Bank's jower rediscount rate was the week's big surprise, It was felt in some circles that the Federal’s action should benefit the nancing which for some time has been done to a large extent with the ald of bank loans, The lower rate is ground. It hasn’t got a chance to freeze.” Maybe before New Year's day the. children will have a chance to use their skates, but if the previous weather has any bearing on the situation they may have to wait a long time to use their skates. Al May Be Interested In California Casino Chicago, Dec, 271.—(#)—The Chi- cago Herald and Examiner said to- day that federal agents who are in- terested in Alphonse Capone's finan- cial ventures because of a plan too indict him for income tax invasion, were investigating reports he had be- come interested in a million-dollar Casino project at Ensenada, lower California. also expected to have important ef- facts abroad. chiefly in. helping the Bank of England protect its gold re- serve. Part of the heaviness that char- acterized the week's quiet trading in stocks was traceable to an impaired technical position.

Legal technicalities loomed often at| the hearing today. Shortly before the examination was to begin before J.

He ruled himself out and asked that the next nearest j provided by statute. §. J. Kershaw Fessenden justice of the peace, was) called but Langer objected on the; ground that Kershaw was not the next available justice of the peace as required by law. Jusctice Overrules Motion , Kershaw overruled Langer’s motion; and the hearing went forward with Langer stating it was proceeding un- der protest. Langer also objected to the form of oath . administered by Kershaw to Mrs. Mary Sheets, stenographer at the hearing, on the ground that the Justice of the peace had not given the} oath as provided by statute. This! technicality was finally straightened out when Langer drew up a form of | oath and it was administered by Ker- shaw. Giltner, the first witness, described the circumstances surrounding the robbery in which bandits obtained Langer asked Giltner, while pointing | to Wicks, “Is that the gentleman, who came into the bank?” Giltner replied, | “I cannot positively say he is.” Lan- ger asked the same question and was the same. Questioned as to the appearance of the men’s dress, Gilt- ner replied he did not have the prop- er chance to observe the men closely. State Senator J. P. Cain of Dickin- son and John A.
