THOMSON & M’KINNON GRAIN LETTER
CHICAGO, Sept. 24.—Wheat: Seaboard re
ported export busienss of fair volume in the
early market but towards the last it was
said that the demand was diminishing. Our
advices from the southwest show more free
offerings from the country. There was mod
erate selling here, thought to be in the
way of hedging against country purchases.
In addition there was considerable commis
sion selling, suggesting that the idea of
a lower trend of prices in line with the
times is becoming more widespread. It is
our belief that this Is the case and that
the producer and country dealer will ulti
mately be imbued with the same ideas
brough thereto by competition of Canadian
wheat.
Corn —There was a general idea that the
corn market was entitled to a reaction,
even without any change in the news. The
early buying was of fairly good character,
but probably short covering. This sort of
buying made the market susceptible to re
newed pressure which appeared as a re
flection of the wheat market. The country
is still offering old corn in considerable
volume and it is believed that the present
volume of receipts will continue the bal
ance of this month at least. The market is
undoubtedly in position to respond readily
to any adverse crop news or the spring
ing up of any influential cash demand.
Because of this, we consider it well to avoid
the selling side temporarily but we are not
prepared to advote the Investment side.
Oats—There has been some concentrated
buying of ats, some of it known to be for
short account, some of it thought to be in
vestment on theory of relative values. Out
side markets note some improvement in
the demand from the east. It is also claimed
that there is export inquiry but at prices
lower than present level.
Provisions—A little liquidation of Sep
tember and October holdings Is going on. Ab
sence o foutside interest is still to be
noted.

DYNAMITE FOUND
ON A ROOKLYN
B. R. T. STATION
NEW YORK, Sept. 23.—While in
vestigators were still seeking to
solve the mystery of the Wall street
explosion a week ago, police head
quarters announced a package con
taining dynamite had been found to
day on the platform of the Reed
avenue elevated station in Brooklyn.
The bureau of combustibles at po
lice headquarters announced that the
dynamite package, was a bomb with
fuse attached and burning when a
pat ’man found it and “put it out.”
Detectives took the bomb to bureau
headquarters in Manhattan.
At the same time announcement
came from police headquarters that
a tag found in Wall street near the
horse attached to the death cart had
been identified as one issued by the
health department in 1918 to the
Reid Ice Cream company, of Brook
lyn, certifying that the horse was
not afflicted with glanders. De
tectives left immediately to ques
tion company officials as to whether
the horse had been sold.
The elevated platform which is un
usually high at this point was crowd
ed with scores of people.
The B. R. T. strike, which began
several weeks ago and was marked
by severe violence during the first
few days, is believed to be practi
cally ended through return of the
men to their posts individually and
the hiring of new men.
Coming so soon after the Wall
street bomb explosion, which oc
curred just a week ago today, finding
of the dynamite bomb in the elevated
station led some officials to believe
it may have been the result of a red
plot rather than the work of strike
sympathizers. Federal operatives
immediately prepared to Investigate
this angle.
150 POI NDS OF
DYNAMITE STOLEN
CHICAGO, Sept. 23.—Department
of justice agents and police seeking
clues here m connection with the
New York bomb explosion speeded
up their inquiry today following dis
covery that 150 pounds of dynamite
had been stolen on September 5 from
the Aetna Explosive company ware
house at Lambert. 111.

for the Boys’ Pig club show at the
Southeastern fair, Atlanta, October
16-26.
“There will be more counties en
tered and from all parts of the state,
so that it will be of the most repre
sentative character,” said Mr. Wal
lace. “Some of the pigs to be en
tered are wonders. Experienced swine
growers will understand their char
acter when I say that we will have
senior pigs weighing over 400
pounds.
“We started in to make a record
and have been mailing out over 6,000
letters monthly to the boys of Geor
gia who are co-operating enthusias
tically; some of them are fitting
their pigs to enter the open classes
of the national hog and catle show.”
In order to encourage a big ex
hibit by Pig club members the rail
ways have agreed to return all ex
hibits free and the Atlanta, Birming
ham and Atlantic will transport them
without cost, to and from the South
eastern fair.

Wheat Market Is
Demoralized, Closing
12 3-4 Cents Down
CHICAGO, Sept. 24.—Big breaks in
the price of wheat took place today
largely as a result of agitation for a
general cut in food cost. The smash
of values in wheat took place today
largely as a result of agitation for a
general cut in food cost. The smash
of values in wheat amounted to as
much as 12 3-4 cents a bushel and
the market closed in a semi-demoral
ized condition, December delivery at
$2.25 to $2.25 1-2 and March $2.15
to 2.16.
Heretofore, wheat has been ad
vancing despite setbacks in the price
of other grain. The chief reason
ascribed for such strength was huge
sales of wheat for export to Eu
rope. Today, however, the stimulus
of export business appeared to have
lost its influence and especially near
the end of the day the wheat mar
ket tumbled wildly downward.
In sympathy with the weakness
of wheat other grain markets also
gave way, and both corn and oats
fell to the lowest price levels yet
for the 1920 crop.

tions, would be asked to aid in for
mation of the “league thousand
club’’ to he composed of contribu

us provided a contrast before the
senate committee investigating
campaign funds contributions yes

the Republicans,” said_ Mr. White.
"Since the fate of the le’ague ani the
peace of the world depend on the
success of Cox and Roosevelt I In
tend to call for a thousand fr'ends
of the league all over the country
to match the president’s subscrip
tion of SSOO recently made In the
same cause.
“This will provide a special fund
for $500,000 to put the truth about
the league before every voter. State
and county chairmen will be asked
to assist, and we feel hopeful that
there are at least a thousand men
in the United States who will give
us SSOO each for the league.
“This plan will provide the means
for a heavy assault against misrep
resentation In the Interest of mere
partisanship.”
