SHARP DECLINES FEATURE GRAINS Rush of Selling Orders Chief Factor in Slump. CHICAGO, Dec. 10. —A rush of selling orders caused sharp declines In grain quotations on the Chicago Board of Trade today. There was little buying power. Selling In December wheat was especially heavy. Tbe market had practically no support after the orders were filled, there was little bidding for Investment purposes. Provisions also were lower. December wheat, after opening down l%c at $1.65, declined another 4%e. March wheat opened off 2%e at $1.62 and lost an additional 4c. December corn was off 2c at the opening at 72c, and dropped 2%c later. May corn, after opening down %c at 75c, dropped 4%e before the close. July corn was down %c st the opening at 75%e, and dropped 2%c later. December oats opened off lc at 47c, and dropped another %e. May oats was off %c at tho opening at 51%c. and lost an additional l%c. July onts opened down ,1c at 50%c, snd dropped an additional lc subsequently. (By Thomson 3c McKinnon.) —Dee. 9 Wheat—The Idea that the conditions underlying the economic situation will come to the surface In the business circles at the end of the year, pervades the entire trade. The result Is that there Is a considerable curtailment of Investment buying and anticipation of future wants. The situation will probably be operative for possibly another thirty days. In the meantime the foreign demand for wheat appears practically eTerv day. It Is thought that the volume of business done today Is of liberal proportion but no estimates have been published. There have been some denials of the report that the embargo would be repealed Immediately. However, It Is of more Importance to note cables which mention too much rain for successful harvest. This condition prevails also in New South Wales. Buenos Aires prices were 7 to 8 cents higher on top of an advance of 5 cents two days ago. We are Inclined to believe that outcroppings of the financial situation may temporarily militate against any pronounced upward swing but at tho same time it must be remembered that prices have declined almost $1 In rsponse to economl'B. This belug so Is it not possible that tbe istuation baa been discounted ? Corn—Financial situation is effective In corn to the extent that new demand Is small. There Is some expectation of a larger movement from the country and on this belief lower prices are anticipated. The market may assume a dragflng tendency while the kinks In the nancial world are being Ironed out out we believe that the distributing and "oasuming trade has yet to supply Its future needs and we believe the demand from this source will prevent any sustained weakness. Oats—Very much the same condition* prevail In oats as In corn, however. It 1* possible to aay that the expected demand from the South la beginning to appear. It la reported that Southern distributing markets are bidding several cent* higher than Chicago In territory directly tributary to this market. Provision*—The nbaence of Intereat on th* part of the Investor i nl*o displayed In the provision* list. There was moder ate setllag today by smaller packer* However, there are *orae Indication* that there would be a broad foreign demand If firmness could be Improved.

FAVOR REMOVING JOG IN AVENUE Board of Works Recommends College Improvement. After a personal Investigation of truffle conditions, George Lemaux, president, and Thomas A. Riley, Democratic member of the board of public works, today announced that they are to favo* of eliminating the Jog In College a vena* between Mary and Bt. Clair street* • that a practically straight thoroughfare will be provided from Massachusetts avenne to Broad Ripple. Both official* hitherto have said they favored moving the street car tracks from College avenne and opening Edison avenue so they may run therein from Masacbusetta av*nue to Eleventh street, where they would go back on College avenue. For several months tbe board has boea considering various means Qf eliminating bad traffic conditions at the Intersection of Massachusetts and College av*. uses, Noble and SL Clair streets. At present College avenne Joins Massachusetts avenne at a point several feet northeast of the point where Noble street Joins the diagonal thoroughfare. "7 The board members declared that thqy hav© now become convinced that the l-est plan would be to straighten Collelto avenue so that it will run Into Massachusetts avenue exactly across from where Noble street ends. To do thto It will be necessary to condemn and remove a drug store, a motion picture theater and a residence situated on St. Clatr street in tbe path of the proposed new route of College avenue. The fact that taking tho tracks out of College avenat and placing them In Edison aveuue would atlU leave a dangerous condition* at the ■ College and Massachusetts avenue inter-, section, so far as motorists aro concerned. was said to be one of tho chief reasons for the new view. • "We would like to have the opinion of tho city planning committee and all othsr interested citizens upon this matter," Mr. Lemaux said. "What this city has got to do is to look forward to a greater amount of automobile traffic every year, and I believe that straightening Coßega nvenue would be a step In tbe directkto of solving this problem.”
