News over the three-day Christmas | weekend was scarcely of a character to provide any fresh sustenance for the markets, and save for a short- | lived upturn in the rails, prices drifted almost steadily lower, getting | close to the bear market lows of Dec. 17. Bethlehem Steel sagged a point to; a new minimum under 18, and U. S.j Steel sagged nearly 2 to 36, its previ- | ous bottom of the bear movement. American Telephone declined 3 to a, bear market low under 113, and! American Can lost as much. Issues off 2 or more included Southern Pa- cific, Santa Fe, Delaware and Hud-} son, Consolidated Gas, Westinghouse { Electric, North American, and Proc- | ter and Gamble. Losses of a point or ; so were numerous. | Net losses ranged from 1 to 3 poinss | in the more active issues. The clos-! ing tone was somewhat heavy.

Setbacks in securities also were a handicap. On the other hand, continued un- welcome rainfalls in Argentine harvest regions, injuring the quality if not the quantity of wheat yields, failed to act as an offset. Wheat closed unsettled, 4-% under Thursday's finish, May 55%-'4, July | 545%-%. Corn unchanged to % lower, May 40-40's, July 4114. Oats un- changed to a shade down; and Pro-; Cae unchanged to 30 cents de- cline, 1e-%_ decline, wheat continued to sag. Corn opened un- changed to 's-% up and subsequently receded. Although displaying little power to; rally, wheat showed rather notable eadiness on declines. Among the reasons given on the bull side of the market Was notice that Italy had in- would be permitted to use. Another steadying factor was that practically ll of the domestic winter wheat belt; ad become bare of any snow blanket and that snow reserves in the moun- tains were almost nil. A leading crop authority pointed tout that temperatures had been ab- May jnormally high this winter, so much so July ithat as far north as Wisconsin the’ Rye: willow trees showed spring sap. Un- ; ;der these circumstances, he expressed fear concerning possible damage over , , |Wide sections of the winter wheat belt : in case of a sudden severe fall in mperatures. Such a happening, he likely, similar to those in 1928 east of the Mississippi. Corn and oats took their cue almost entirely from wheat action. Provisions went downward with hog values. | MINNEAPOLIS FUTURES ' MARKET IS LISTLESS ! Minneapolis, Dec. 28.—(#)—The tureless Monday with prices a frac- tion easier. There was no volume to export business and flour trade was quiet. December wheat futures closed 14 higher and May ‘1c lower and July Sac lower. | Oats prices opened unchanged and dipped ‘sc.

There was no change in win- ter wheat and demand was quiet. The average of durum quality was lower, with choice stuff in demand and steady. Red was much slower and buyers were hard to find. Cash corn tone was better witi of- ferings light and wanted. Oats de- mand was fair to good. Rye demand was fair. Barley demand was quiet | to fair and tone firm. Flax demand was better and premiums averaged firmer. ——<_ ii... | Livestock d . ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK South St. Paul, Dec. 28.—(7}—(U. S. Dep.

D., Dec. 28—(#)—Sen- itences of six months each in the Cass ‘county jail were given Ed Jennings, Minneapolis, and Arthur (Chief) Bar- enson, Fargo, by Judge Andrew Mill- er in United States district court in Fargo Monday. The pair, with three others, had pleaded guilty to liquor lew violations in connection with the Fargo liquor ; truck episode of more than a year ago. Of the others, L. C. Quinn and George McCabe, Fargo, were fined $100 each, and sentence of John Holser, Fargo, was deferred until the next term of court here. A stay of execution until Jan. 27 was granted Barenson and Jennings. Sidney G. (Jack) Harmon, Fargo, was sentenced to thirty days in the county jail on a liquor charge not in- volved with the others. In sentencing Jennings and Baren- son, both of whom were indicted Jointly and pleaded guilty to the same charge, operating a still, Judge Miller said he did not feel the ordinary boot- legger, not dangerous to society, should be treated in the same manner @s ® man who had committed arson, ) murder or robbery. “The court is familiar with charges against these men,” said Judge Miller. “The still they were operating was of 1] considerable size. “This is not a case where the men attempted to make money to provide for their loved ones. It is a case where they saw a chance to make big money and openly violated the law to do it. “Still, the court will take into con- sideration the nature of the crime. The crime wasn’t murder, arson or robbery. It was merely a violation of the prohibition laws. “The penalty for violation of the "|Mquor laws is such that in extreme cases, where defendants are notori- ously bad and will shoot to kill if necessary, they can be severely pun- ished. I believe in giving the maxi- mum sentence in such cases, not be- cause the defendants broke the law but because that happened to be the law they were caught breaking. How- ever, I do not believe the ordinary bootlegger, not dangerous to society, should be treated in a manner similar to the murderer.” Both Barenson and Jerinings were granted a stay of execution until Jan. 27. 4i:,!

ROBERTS, in charge, W. Official |Chinese Flee as Invaders Attack At Tienchuangtai (Continued from page one) Japanese army was forced by in- creased Chinese activity to begin a general movement on a more exten- sive scale than hitherto. BIG FORCE TAKING PART IN ADVANCE Mukden, Manchurla, Dec. 28.—()— A Japanese drive in the direction of regiments of infantry, one battalion marching on that city from Tien- chuangtai. Kowpangtze is on the Peiping-Muk- den railway @ little more than half way between Mukden and Chinchow. Tienchauangtai is to the southeast, not far from Yingkow,. A branch connecting the Peiping-Mukdén line jwith the South Manchurian railway runs from Yingkow through Tien- chuangtal to Kowpangtze, the junc- tion point. ‘ A considerable number of reinforce- ments has arrived from Japan, bring- ing the Japanese forces to approxi- troops on hand is a secret, but the Japanese command no longer consid- ers itself bound to keep the total be- low the treaty figure of about 16,000. Three battalions of infantry and one of artillery were reported sta- tioned at Tienchuangtal and other | battalions are already at Yingkow or on the way there. A force of about 4,000 regular Chi- nese troops were also said, in mes- sages received here, to be entrenched within a few miles of Tienchuangtai. Additional aircraft also have ar- rived recently from Japan.
