GRAIN FUTURES SHOW UNEVEN TRADING RANGE Wheat Slightly Higher on | Strength in Corn: Oats Dull. By United Frees CHICAGO, Feb. 9.—Wlieat opened irregularly on the Board of Trade today, but mostly higher. The firmness in com, lack of important precipitation over the week end and the strength in foreign markets wßre strengthening factors. Higher Argentine and Canadian oflers at, Liverpool were offset by the Australian financial situation -uid profit-taking. Com was strong on the forecast for colder weather and the slight increase in feeding. Oats were quiet and steady. At, the opening old wheat was % *o *4 cent higher, new wheat was % cent lower to 4 cent higher, com was ’4 to % cent higher and oats were H cent up. Provisions were slow and steady. Liverpool Stronger Liverpool opened slightly stronger than expected, but was unevenly * cent lower to % cent higher at mtd-aftemoon. Buenos Aires was '4 cent up at mid day. Sentiment in wheat remains more bearish than bullish, although traders admit they are reluctant to sell j the market short at the prevailing i levels. The really important sea-! t.ure, aside from the weather conditions, is the export demand which is slow at present. The weather Is colder over the entire belt with a cold wave forecast for lowa. Winnipeg reported 18 below zero. The eastern and southwestern sections of the belt have received fair amounts of moisture, hut the main producing areas lack sufficient rainfall. The report that Chairman Legge would resign March 4 la attracting attention. Com Is Bought Com meets good buying on the breaks and disappears rapidly. This latter feature is quite puzzling. Most of the buying is thought to be short covering. Larger receipts are expected owing to the advance in price, but not much change is expected in the visible supply. Commission houses take oats on recessions as the price is cheap. Cash interests sell from time to time, mostly to feeders. Trade is light with the market following the other grains.

REALTY DEALS AT NEW LOWS DURING MONTH Financing Is 72 Per Cent Below Same Period in 1930. By Times Special CHICAGO, Feb. 9.—New first mortgage real estate financing in January, traditionally a month of large realty offerings, declined to the lowest level for that month in recent years, according to the monthly Investment review of Nelson, Hunt & Cos, of Chicago, specialists in real estate and first mortgage financing. Statistics compiled in the review showed that new real estate financing in January totaled but $8,737,000, the lowest volume to be recorded any month since May, 1930. This total represents a decline of more than 72 per cent from the volume of new offerings in January, 1930, and is 18 per cent below the December total of $11,905,000. There were no realty stock offerings in January, it was stated, and approximately 50 per cent of the new financing was secured by residential and institutional properties, practically all of which were financed through the issuance of collateral trust certificates and gold notes. The metropolitan areas this year shows that financing is widely scattered with St. Louis leading in January with four realty issues aggregating $3,900,000, and Baltimore second with four issues totaling $3,150,000. Minneapolis was third with $492,000 and Cleveland fourth with $225,000. Average yields of new real estate bond and note issues at their offering prices in January registered a slight decrease from December, according to the reviews weighted by volume index. The index for January stood at 5.25 per cent against 5.79 per cent in December and 6.16 per cent in January, 1930.

Feb. 9.—The world’s first successful installation of a super telephone system in a legitimate playhouse for the pleasure of deaf drama lovers was completed Sunday night in Chicago's famous Goodman theater. A score or so of deaf men and women in the audience attending the rollicking comedy. “Rebound,” were enabled to smile at quips from the stage for the first time in their lives. “It was as if anew world had opened before me,” said Miss Abby Hosmer, white-haired and prominent leader in the league for the hard of hearing. Mrs. Louis Pelton, a member of the league, spent months raising the money necessary for the installation of the equipment. The engineers developed one large microphone, set in the center of the stage, in front of the footlights. It contains an automatic modulater which increases the power a* the players move away from front and center, and lowers it when they come close. The sound waves are earned in cables to the row of seats equipped for deaf play-goers. On the arms of the seats are outlet plugs. The deaf patron merely attaches his headphone, furnished by the management, to the plug. Each headphone also has a volume control so that the user may regulate j the amount of sound he needs to overcome his particular degree of I deafness.
