GRAIN PRICES (Markets by Lameon Bros. & Co., '212 Union National Bank Building.) CHICAGO, Dec. 23. The grain markets ruled lower, with only casual Interest An early break encountered export buying, which brought a sharp reaction In .the deferred months. The December delivery ruled heavy scattered liquidation. The market was hardly Indicative of any material change in underlying conditions. Indications point to a good foreign demand large domestic consumption during the winter and a good deal of apprehension In regard to the winter wheat crop which has gone into the cold weather period In unusually low condition of vitality. Corn and oats received better support than was generally anticipated. The expectation of heavy receipts of corn has undoubtedly caused a good deal of scattered liquidation and while we are particularly bullish at the moment we anticipate only a temporary decline while the big movement Is on and believe it will be less of a factor than usually expected.

SHIPMENT OF CLEAN WHEAT IS URGED TO REDUCE CAR SHORTAGE (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 23 Shipment of clean wheat to markets by farmers and county elevators would go a great way toward reducing car shortage and effect large savings in the cost of transportation of the grain, Robert B. Black, in charge of the Department of Agriculture's grain cleaning investigation, said today. During the 1920-21 crop year dock age or foreign material in wheat shipped to market was so great, he de clared that more than 14,000 more freight cars were required to haul it to market than would have been necessary had clean wheat been shipped. Minnesota grain inspection re cords shows that last October, Minnesota received 11,332 cars Of spring wheat containing an average of 4 per cent dockage, or the equvilent of 450 cars capacity. An educational campaign Is being conducted among pring wheat grow ers, looking toward the cleaning of wheat on the farms to reduce this economic loss. COUNTY (Continued from Page One.) conducted In the social rooms of the home at ' 7 o'clock Sunday evening. After the exercises, the presents will be distributed.
