SOAR? DECLINES g IN GRAIN PRICES Close Lower Than Start of Week Level, By United Prefifi CHICAGO. Sept. 20—Grain fu tures finished lower* due to weekend liquidation on the Chicago Board of Trade Saturday. The close also was below first -of-the-week prices. Realizing developed in wheat when foreigners failed to respond to an opening dip. Weakness in corn was directly attributed to a break in cash values. On the break no short selling appeared. Oats sold off with other grains and also liquidating pressure due to prospects of an increase in the visible supply. Provisions firmed up, acting independently of grains and dower hogs.

By Times Special CHICAGO, Sept. 20. —Demand for lumber Is holding well and the market has shown little change in the last week, the American Lumberman reports. Southern pine mills say that buying so far this month has been slower than August, and is more scattered, but the volume remains good, approximately on a par with production. The noteworthy development is most of the current business is coming from Smaller towns and country districts, where building and repair operations are tending upward, while those in the lafffer cjties are declining. tfbe outlook is reassuring, but the mills are taking a conservative view of the situation and are. In some instances, curtailing their output.

The trade for the i week has been one of fluctuating values. Trend was downward the greater part of the week, until on | Friday a drop ip receipts and inj crease in demand boosted quota;tions. Even with the increase today I prices are 10@15c below the opening Monday. A strong demand for light stuff simmered down to normal, adding strength to the entire market. Receipts Saturday, 4,000 with 550 holdovers. * Cattle were steady, with receipts of 200, too light for business. The market for the week has been the poorest and slowest one witnessed at the yards for some months. Drastic price cuts have been made. A flood of common to medium cattle has sent the trade to the roldrums. It has been a buyers market from start to finish and what stock that" could, moved at buyers prices. Trading has been very narrow and confined almost strictly to packing house stock. Yearling steers at $9.50 per cwt., are 75c below price paid at the close last week. There has been no demarnj for 1,200 pound steers. Common steers have been plentiful and just about unsalable except at I cut prices. This class of stock is I .selling at the year's low level.

STATE OFFICIALS : FILLING ANNUAL BUDGETBLAIS Various Appropriations Are Based on Each Request, E. D. Farmer, State board of accounts budget clerk, is distributing to State departments and institutions budget blanks to be filled by Oct. 15. Blanks are then re-capitu-l%ted and embodied In a report to the 1925 Legislature when It makes the departmental and institutional appropriations for the following two fiscal years. Departments are required to show each item of expense in the fiscal years 1922-23 and 1923-24. Then the appropriations requested for the two succeeding fiscal years are noted and the increase or decrease tabulated. The board then maker certain recommendations as to the requests, holds hearings and submits the whole to the Governor and Legislature. State Debt Item Under the item, "fixed charges,” appears a subdivision entitled "Payment of State Debt.” Here Robert Bracken. State auditor, will or will not write "$4,260,000 needed.” If the tax board, which meets Monday, will agree to make arrangements to raise that amount by tax levy, the debt will he paid next year. If It refuses to listen to Bracken the latter will undoubtedly seek legislative action to clear the State of its financial burdens. Property Value Increase William C. Harrison, tax board secretary, said property value in the State had been increased this year abnfit $66.000,000. Even with this increase, he said, the tax board would have to fix an extra 8-cent levy in order to raise enough money to pay off the state debt. It ; ■ot believed likely that the tax commissioners, In view of recent remarks concerning reduction of the tax levy, would seriously consider an attempt to pay the debt. Farmer urges a development commission. for the purpose of planning building needs of ail State institutions five years or more ahead. Farmer says the present system of raising money in any single year to pay for institutional construction costs la one of the factors which iiasv put the State in debt.

LAFOLLETIETO WIN CALIFORNIA, NELSON PREDICTS Progressive Manager Says ' Movement Makes Big Gains in West, By Times Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 20.—“1 am just as certain that La Follette will carry California as that I am sitting in ; this room/’ This was the statement today of ! Congressman John Nelson, Wisconsin, manager of the La Follette-for-President campaign. “We started with the Idea of carrying Wisconsin and* a few JCorthwest States, but the progressive | movement has become so general and i widespread we have every hope of | winn ng.” Ne'.son predicted the Wisconsin Senator would carry Wisconsin, Minnesota, lowa, North Dakota, Montana, Nebraska and California, Indiana Doubtful "Indiana is a doubtful State because of the Ku-Klux Klan,” Nelson said. "Ohio looks favorable and we have hope of carrying Illinois.” From observation at the three political national headquarters here It is almost a certainty the election will be deadlocked in the electoral college and go to Congress for decision. Davis ljpadquarters declare the Darts strength is multiplying as their nominee-becomes known, and that he would only have to carry four States, in addition to the solid | South, to deadlock the electoral col- : lege. These States are Missouri, Nebraska, Maryland and West Virginia. Davis leaders are playing the “favorite son” campaign In West Virginia. In Illinois the. Small machine Is working hand in glove with the La Follette organ against the regular Republicans. Small in Line Small is taking no active part fit the campaign, hut Small lieutenants are busy and it is predicted the | Illinois Governor will c&me out for I the Progressive leader at the proper ! time in an effort to put both himself I and the .Wisconsen Senator over. Senator Smith Brookhart is stumping Towa for La Follette and his own prediction is the Progres-, sive candidate will carry lowa by 100,900. Whether La Follette will coni?" into Indiana is a question not yet decided. More than 190 leaders of various railroad brotherhoods have offered services to La Follette and will he sent into the doubtful States In an effort to bring them into the La Follette column. About twentyfive of these will Invade Indiana. La Follfette leaders are thoroughly wedded to the cause of the Wisconsin Senator and declare if not elected to the White House his cause will be carried on. Some even go so far as to maintain that with La Follette in the Senate and Nelson in the House the La Follette legislation would stand a better chance of becoming law than if he became President.
