CORN LEADS DROP IN GRAINFUTURES Wheat Displays Stubborn Tone? but Slumps, Bu Unit'd Press CHICAGO, Sept. IT.—Grain futures broke sharply on the Board of Trade Wednesday. Corn led in the slump. Despite the sharp slump in corn, Wheat displayed a stubborn underPlne. Heavy selling early in the session caused recessions, but at the closing hour values made up some of the losses when buying against sales in corn appeared. Drastic liquidation in corn was caused by liberal country offerings, prospects of warmer weather and lack of buying power. Oats fell off with other grades and heavy accumulations at terminal points. Provisions were sharply lower with grains, hogs and lack of interest. Chicago Grain Table —Sept. 17— WHEAT— Prev. Open. High. Low. Close, close.

HDW. MARKET STRONG Bolt and Nut Prices Advance 10 Per Cent in Week. By Times Spcriat NEW YORK, Sept. 17. —Hardware Age In its weekly review of the hardware markets says: "Bolts and nuts advanced 10 per cent in several dnaiket centers during the past week. Spring prices of garden tools for 1925 show advances on several items of approximately 7 to 10 per cent. Numerous small house changes are being made by jobbers in various sections of the country, which, however, are more or less in the nature of readjustments. No other price changes of movement were reported. “The general tone of the hardware market is stronger. Buying is better and retailers are showing more confidence. No large orders, however, are being placed on futures, although the number of future orders has in creased. Fall goods are moving better. “Some manufacturers are said to be behind on their produc-ion schedules because of the sun mer apathy on the part of buyers. During the past few weeks many of the factories have received a large number of orders, and it is said that there may be temporary shortages of a minor nature on some items this fall. Collections are reported as improved.” #
