DEMAND IN EUROPE FOR WHEAT CAUSED PRICE IMPROVEMENT - i (By Associated Press) x CHICAGO, Dec. IS. Eager demand from Europe this week has made the wheat market jump. Notwithstanding bearish crop reports" and despite nervousness over the economic outlook, wheat this morning compared with a week ago was 6 to 9V4 cents higher. Corn was c off to lVc up, oats unchanged to lc lower, and nrovisions varying from 50c decline to 45c gain. Exporters ' were buyers of wheat both before Sod after the government report -showing grain crops ia the United States much larger than had been generally supposed. Whether or not European demand for wheat was accelerated by likelihood of emergency legislation in congress to afford relief to farmers did not become evident, but there seemed little doubt that at times the amount of foreign purchasing was more than double the normal daily average. -Other Helps. Rapid advances meanwhile in sterling exchange tended to help the wheat market upward, and so too, did a reduction in the estimated surplus of Australian wheat. On the other hand, unemployment figures and other adverse elements of the general business situation led to temporary violent setbacks. Corn and oats proved relatively weak owfng to the big supply in sight. Provisions showed much irregularity, influenced by circumstances that price changes for grain and hogs were often directly conflicting. NEW YORK, Dec. 18. Offerings were again in excess of demand of. the stock exchange this week, further cleaning up of speculative accounts fclfing momentum lo an extension of the short interest, especially in the more volatile shares. Stocks of the better class were not materially affected, but the cheaper industrials and specialties lost 5 to 15 points as financial readjustment proceeded to take the form of reduced or suspended dividends. Industrial and commercial conditions added to the reaction in the securities market, practically, all the news being indicative of additional curtailment of production of wages. Money rates renmined fairly easy for day to day funds, but little was offered for the longer accommodations aside from renewals while commercial rnner was in light demand and quotably higher.

EARLHAM ANNOUNCES SPENDING STATISTICS Two hundred and fifty Earlham students spent a total of $3,566.30 in the city of Richmond during a period of two weeks. Such are the results of the recent "spending statistic campaign" held at the college. . Now let the mathematics class recite. Using the above figures as a basis the average Earlham student spends $14.21 every two weeks In Richmond, or $7.10 every week. There are 450 students enrolled in Earlham. Using the average of $7.10 per week, this would, mean that an aggregate amount of -$3,195.00 is spent by the entire college each week. Each school year consists of 36 weeks. By conservative figuring this amounts to more than $100,000 each year. The figures used in compiling these statistics were obtained from accounts kept by individual students of their purchases in Richmond for a period, of two weeks. Any purchase made by the students in town was recorded. College bills, such as board and room rent, were not (counted. "No expense of the college I itself were used. j The purchases were not required to date. The separate totals ranged all the way from a few cents to one hundred dollars. Some o( those having a low total made a note stating that it was not representative of the shopping to be done later in the year. Every total handed in was counted. It has been the intention of the college authorities to hold such a campaign for some time. The results probably will be used in the endowment diave.
