Dependable Market News for Today

Quotations on Stock, Grain and Produce in Large Trading Centers by Associated Press Local Prices Revised Daily by Leading Dealers.

CROP PROSPECTS FORCE PRICES DOWN CHICAGO, August 22 Com prices declined at the start today, local traders furnishing abundant offerings. There was considerable buying on the low points and a slight rally followed. Sentiment was bearish influenced by the excellent crop expectations. Opening prices were from c to lo lower with Dec. at $1.07 to $1.08, and May at $1.064 to $1.06. Wheat continued to be a negligible quantity so far as trading was concerned. The first bid was $2.10 for Sept. unchanged from yesterday and a few trades were recorded with prices sagging to 2.07. Announcement was made by board of trade officials that steps would be taken to fix a settlement price for all September wheat contracts outstanding August 25 in readiness for governmental handling of wheat after Sept. 1. Oats opened about unchanged with light trading. Fractional advances were recorded on good buying by cash houses. Provisions declined sharply notwithstanding the high hog prices. The drop was attributed to traders' expectation that an embargo on wheat exports might be established. GRAIN QUOTATIONS CHICAGO, Aug. 22. The range of futures follows: Wheat Open. High. Low. Close.

Fidos Are 0i t of Luck at Chautauqua

There's no place for dogs In the Chautauqua camp grounds. Campers having any love for their pets are advised to take them off the grounds. There is a city ordinance which prohibits persons from taking dogs Into Glen Miller park and the camp grounds are part of Glen Miller. The camp policeman will shoot all stray dogs in the camp after Wednesday. CAMPERS URGED TO HANG OUT COLORS The Chautauqua association is urging all campers to place the Stars and Stripes above their tent. Arthur Guy Empey, the American gunner who served two years in the trenches in France, speaks at the Chautauqua on Thursday night. "Show him that Richmond is as patriotic as any city," urges the committee. More Dissipation Brings Apathy to Viewers, Says Phelps Dr. William Lyon Phelps, noted educator and literary critic, in his lecture on "The Drama of Today," said that more good plays have been written during the last thirty years than during 300 years preceding. George Bernard Shaw, England's "cleverest man," Oscar Wilde, J. M. Barrie, John Galsworthy, all of England with Clyde Fitch and Augustus Thomas of America were named as the greatest play -writers for the speaking stage within thirty years. Speaking of moving pictures Dr. Phelps said that they had eliminated cheap farce and melo-drama from the speaking stage. He spoke of the danger of visiting the movies too often however, as everything is explained for the viewers without causing them any mental exercise, thus causing their minds to fall into sojft of an apathy.

Rain Turns Camp Into Puddle; Sound Drowns Speakers9 Voices

The chautauqua camp grounds was one big mud puddle following the heavy rain Wednesday morning. The tents for the most part, however, are rain-proof. The morning program was cut in half when the rain, beating down on the auditorium tent, drowned out the Bryan Expected to Draw Large Crowd Indications are that William Jennings Bryan, of grape Juice fame, will draw just as large a crowd when he speaks at the Chautauqua Friday afternoon, as he has in previous years when he spoke in Richmond. Bryan has been making speeches throughout Indiana since the beginning of the month, and speaks here at 3:15 Friday afternoon on "Two Pictures."

Built as a Tube Should Be

Instead of being made of a single sheet of Heavy gauge rubber, Goodyear Tubes are built up of many thin sheets placed one upon the-other and .vulcanized together.

This laminated construction guards against porosity, pin leaks, sand particles, defects of any kind. It offers a protection against air seepage which is not approximated in any other type of construction. Goodyear Tubes are built thicker and of better material than ordinary tubes, that they may last longer and serve more ably.

Goodyear Tires, Heavy Tourist Tubes and "Tire Saver" Accessories are easy to get here.

Dr. Phelps spoke on "The New Representation of American Character," at the afternoon session and the Chicago Quartette rendered several numbers.
