GRAIN OPTIONS CONTINUE DIP TO NEW LOWS * Trade Watches London as Wheat Breaks All Low Records. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 31. —Wheat dropped to further new all-time low levels for the eighty-four years of the Board of Trade’s existence at the opening today. Prices were down fractionally on the weakness in stocks and disregarded strength in cables. Liverpool was lower on discouragement over action on this side, but declines were limited. December wheat sold at 43',# cents at the j start. Corn was steady to firm in 1 a light trade, while oats and rye were almost inactive. Prices Lowest Known At the opening wheat was ft to ft cent lower; corn was unchanged to % cent higher, and oats was unchanged. Provisions were dull and steady. Liverpool failed to follow' the full downturn in North America Saturday and was off only % cents at mid-afternoon. Grain prices are the lowest ever known, but professional traders and investors are standing aside instead of buying freely, as is usual in such a case. Export demand is being filled by Canada at gt remarkably low prices, but they are “not buying in quantities, as Australia already is offering new wheat for deferred shipment. The only bullish factor locally is the better demand for cash wheat and better milling demand. Traders are watching London and the English Exchange closely. New Crop Held Bark There are indications of a renewal of export interest in com should prides ease in keeping with the lower offerings of Danubian grain. It is felt that considerable business might be procured by a small drop in prices. The movement of the new crop is getting under way, although there -are many evidences of holding back on the part of the farmers for higher prices. Oats and rye continue to follow the trend of wheat and corn. .The only activity in oats is in cash circles. Chicago Primary Receipts —Oct. 29 Wheat 611,000 Corn 432,000 Oats 185.000

Contract Bridge

This is the ninth of a series of articles by William McKenney explaining the one over one system for contract bridge. BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League T'He one over one forcing bid is • the bid from which the one over one system derives its name, and unfortunately many players are under the impression that if they use this bid, they are playing the one over one system. This, if course, is far from correct. The actual one over one forcing bid Is only one bid of a complete system, and plays no more important part than many of the other bids used in that system. The bid is employed in the following manner: When the original bidder’s suit bid of one is passed by an opponent and partner overcalls with another suit bid of one, he is making a one-over-one forcing bid which shows a biddable suit and, in the majority of cases' lft high card tricks. If the next opponent passes, the original bidder is required to bid again, and while s he one over one is an absolute force, it makes no promise for game. The original bidder is required only to keep the bidding open once, unless the one over one bidder makes another forcing bid on the next round. In this manner the one over one forcing bid differs from jump shift forcing bids Vhich demand that the bidding be kept open until a game is arrived at. 0 a m THE one over one forcing bid and the jump shift forcing bid. might be compared to telephonic, or direct, communication as compared with postal, or indirect, communication. The one over one force keeps the bidding low and is comparable to a telephone conversation the parties Are in direct communication and can arrive at a definite decision by exchange of information without too much loss of time. The jump shift forcing bid often forces the bidding too high before partners intelligently can exchange the information necessary to arrive at the correct contract. ' Thk one over one forcing bid

takvs advantage of a favorable situation. Quite often, when holding a biddable suit and lft high card tricks, it is necessary for partner to bid two in order to show his suit; the original bidder opens with one heart and partner’s biddable suit is clubs or diamonds. The bid now would have to be two. However, if the suit happened to be spades, partner would make a bid of one spade, and therefore the original bidder, with a minimum, hand, is given the choicest of three declarations, none of which ever will be higher than two. He may respond; first, /Kith one no trump to inform partner that he has only a four-card suit or a weak five-card suit, that he does not have normal support in partner's suit, and therefore is desirous of signing the hand off; second, with a good five-card heart suit and a minimum hand, he can s*gn off by bidding two hearts; third, with 4 normal support in partner's suit and still a minimum opening bid, he can make a sign-off bid of two spades. Os course, with additional strength, this can be shown by using one of the forcing bids. • a o THE one over one bidder now is given several choices. If the original bidder’s response was one no trump, partner now can pass.i with a minimum hand. He can support the original bidder’s suit with a bid of two hearts; he can deny both no trump and the original bidder’s suit again with a bid of two spades. If the original bidder’s response was two hearts, partner may now pass, holding a minimum hand, or he aiain may deny support for the original bidder’s suit by bidding either two no trump or two of his own suit, which was spades. If the -original bidder’s response was two spades, partner may pass, if holding a minimum hand. The one over one forcing bid can be made even when holding normal support in the original bidder’s suit, as this suit can be supported by partner on the next round, and this, with the proper responses wi’l be explained in the next article.

SNOW COVERS LOSTHUNTERS Abandon Hope of Finding Bodies in Mountains. By United Press SHERIDAN, Wyo., Oct. 31.—Five more inches of snow Sunday brought abandonment of hope for the recovery of the bodies of two Wyoming hunters, lost in a blizzard in the Big Horn mountains. The snow was believed to have buried the bodies of Dell Yoakum and Fred Demmel, the hunters. The body of Dillon McKinnon, another hunter, who was lost in the same storm was found Saturday, beneath six inches of snow, near the head of Trapper creek, one of the wildest sections of the Big Horn. Fred Agge, suyrvisor of the Big Horn forest, and leader of a searching party .arrived in Sheridan Sunday after making his way through the deep drifts in the mountains from the base established by the party. He said the storm had hindered the searchers, but that they were continuing to hunt for the bodies of Demmel and Yoakum. Agge said there was little chance of finding them, and that he believed the searchers would return to Sheridan probably today. Agge discounted reports that his party had been trapped in the storm Friday. “The party was made up of veteran mountain men,” Agge said. "They are the sort of men who could handle themselves in any storm, and Friday’s snow didn’t even interrupt the search.” common and medium steers and heifers, $3425; few better finished light weights, $6(5 6.26; beef cow* mostly $2.50 down; low cutters and cutters. 75c551.75; bulls. 52.75 town; bulk Stockers and feeders. 53Q4.50; clives, receipts *00; steady; bulk good to choice light vea’.ers .$454.50: medium grades and heavy calves. 52.503.50; light throwouts $2 down.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not’’ which appeared in Saturday’s Times; A Derby Heirloom—The venerable piece of headgear was purchased by the grandfather of its present owner in New Orleans in 1880. Three generations encompassing the incumbency of thirteen United States Presidents faithfully have worn the historical derby, now entering upon its fifty-second year of usefulness. The “Mene Tekel” Egg—The astounding story of an ominous inscription on the shell of an egg laid by one of Sam Booth’s hens has been vouched for by notarized sworn statements of the parties concerned. In this enlightened age we may consider this amazing phenomenon as one more combination of baffling coincidences. In olden days, the owner of such an egg undoubtedly would have a great deal to answer for. Tuesday—“ Defeated in Spite of a 100,000 Plurality.”
