WEAK FOREIGN NEWS FORCES WHEAT LOWER ! Corn and Oats Hold Mostly Steady; Mild Weather Is Bearish. By United Press CHICAGO, Jan, 30.—Wheat eased a small fraction on the Board of Trade today, but corn and oats were mostly steady. July wheat was off on the poor response at Liverpool and scattered selling. The English market had a better demand, but advances lessened business and the southern hemisphere shipments are Increasing. Com was practically unchanged with September uneven. Oats were steady in a small trade. Provisions Active At the opening wheat was ’j to M cent lower, July leading the decline; com was cent lower to H cent higher, and oats were unchanged to % cent up. Provisions were generally active and steady. Liverpool opened higher, but was not as strong as expected, advancing only % to % cent by mid-after-noon. Buenos Aires was cent lower during the morning. The long expected foreign demand seems to have materialized, if only for the time being. It is estimated that 5,000,000 bushels of Canadian wheat have been taken this week and another 1,250,000 bushels of Australian wheat was taken by China for February to May shipment. More attention i: being paid to the weather and the lack of moisture in the winter wheat belt. Interest Shows Gain According to gossip of the trade, the short interest in com was increased Wednesday on the break, and it was this covering of contracts late Thursday that caused the rally. The mild weather is permitting economy in feeding which keeps the trade moderately bearish. Oats took part of the strength of wheat and com Thursday. The feeding is tapering off as in corn, but the demand from industries still is good. Chicago Grain Table —Jan. 30 — WHEAT (old) Prev. Hiqh. Low 11:00 close.

GRANDMOTHER IS ‘BABIED’ 6Y JACK DEMPSEY Little Old Woman of 72 Has Her Thrills in Visit to ‘Manassa Mauler.’ BY BARRY J. HOLLOWAY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 30.—Mrs. Ida Barrett of Wilmington, Del., a quaint little woman of 72, whose distinction is that she is the grand ~ mother of Estelle Taylor and, naturally, grandmother-in-law of Jack Dempsey, was the guest of honor at a Dempsey reunion today at which she disapproved of nearly everything tut the children. In the first place. Estelle considered it a huge joke that her grandmother should tip the Pullman porter with two red apples upon her arrival Thursday. “I didn't have room to carry them,” said Mrs. Barrett, ‘and I wasn't going to see them go to waste.” Then Jack and Estelle rail out to the races, to watch the running of the Estelle Taylor handicap. Mrs. Barrett stayed home, in the hotel. Methodist and Dry “I'm a Methodist and I’m a dry,” she said. “I don't believe in races, or playing cards or anything like that. You children can go ahead and do as you like, but get back in time for dinner." Then there was the matter of children. Estelle is positive Grandma Barrett is not going to be a great grandmother. “Children aren't in my scheme of things at all,” sho said. Grandma Barrett distinctly disapproves that idea. On the other hand, the kindliness with which the former heavyweight champion handed Mrs. Barrett about, and showed her the way to the fire escape, and otherwise “babied” her, certainly had its effect upon the smiling 72-year-old lady. The pride was in Jack’s disposition, however—not his boxing record. First Pullman Ride At. any rate, while the Dempseys were out at the races, Mrs. Barrett read the papers and, finding a Methodist-dry article in one of them, clipped it carefully to send to a friend. This is the first time in fifty years Estelle’s grandmother has been away from Wilmington, and it is the first time she has ever ridden in a Pullman. Upon her return, Estelle contributed another thought to her plans for the future—minus children. “I'm going to work and stay with the stage as long as I can hold myself together,” she said. “And when I lose my youth, I’ll resort to face lifting to make myself presentable.”
