WHEAT VALUES IN BIG CRASH Loss in December Delivery Over 10 Cents. CHICAGO. July 30.—Grain futures on the board of trade today dropped to figures below the price guaranteed to producers under war-time legislation. December wheat started 24 down from yesterday's close and logt another 8 cents before the close. The guaranteed price of whea at Chi cago was $2.26. Lack of demand by exporters and fa vorable weather, together with a belief .that railroads are about to be given rate raises which will bring most efficient movement of crots were the principal factors In today’s drop. Wheat futures broke about'l3 cents and.rye 7 cents, causing a drastic price slump In all pits. Exporters again lowered their bids for wheat and the unsettled foreign exchange situation added to the weakness. The southwest reported that receipts direct from the country were enormous, despite the break in and at tributed them to bankers insisting on loans being liquidated. Wheat closed 104 @lo%c lower. Corn started fairly steady on lack of rains over night, but weakened on sell ing for eastern account and lack of sup port from the country, indicating that crop dam Age Is not taken seriously out side. July corn dropped 54c. The close showed losses of 2Vi&j4kie. Oats weakened under selling pressure. July failled 24@3c under short covering in the final half hour. Deferred months closed %e lower. Provision trade was narrow and largely local. (By Thomson A McKinnon) —July 30— The pressure In the wheat market never sterns to let up. December showed a decline today at one lime of 12 cents a bushel, and offerings from first hands were insistent. Kansas City reported buyers out of the wheat market entirely, with export bid* sharply lower and we. expect to see free offerings on any rallies that take place. Local interests appear willing to ab sorb offerings early, but with Kansas farmers offering to contract new corn at sl.lO, and rains in lowa and South Da kota, brought very liberal offerings and a sharp decline. The forecast for the corn belt was for scattered showers, with present favorable temperatures to continue ' Stop loss selllug and the heaviness In wheat both contributed to the decline which extended Into anew low price for December. Prices do not seem to be low enough to appeal to anyone to make Investment purchases, and the buying that is done seems mainly from shorts We must expect rallies, as they are in cldental to the sltuatlqp, but uuies* the motive is a deterioration from the pres ent brilliant crop promise, we do not ex pect such reactions to prove other than j temporary. The oats market was easier following the trend of corn, the July especially under pressure from people who had overstayed thetr market. There promise* to be a movement sufficiently large to take care of all cash demands and there I* nothing to predi cate buying action on. In fact just the reverse; any bulge in December to around 70 cents should Invite sales. CHICAGO GRAIN. . - July 3tV - Open. High. Low. Close.

Maryland Bt., ludlaunpolls MARMON THIRD PLANT FINISHED Body Building Division Is In< stalled. The body building division of the Nor dyke & Marmon Company has been in stalled on the fifth floor of its new five story building. This marks the completion and opera tion of the last section of the huge No. 3 plant, the construction rot which was be gun about a year ago, the lower floors of the five-story building having been in operation for some time. The building is 600 feet long. The final assembly building, which is 800 feet long, was completed and in oper ation about the first of the year. These two buildings, the two-story wood-trim shop, the new power plant and the dry kiln, comprise the new No. 3 plant, which is the second large addD tion erected by the Nordyke & Marmon Company in recent years. The new No. 3 body and final assembly plant was built to afford the company space not only for its rapidly expanding motor car business, but for a greater out put of flour milling machinery. The milling division business of the company has advanced as rapidly as the automotive end lately. Practically all the factory space de voted to motor car production prior to 1917 is now turned over to the mill ma chinery division of the company, sections two and three being devoted entirely to the production of automobiles. 4 In the early days Richmond, Ind., was the home of Nordyke &. Marmon, but in 1876 the plant was moved to its present location. Until 1902, when the first Mormon mo tor car was built, the company continued to specialize on the production of fiou milling machinery. GIRL, 16, CHARGES MAN. 33. HARTFORD CITY.
