CIIICAOO, Rept 20. After havlntr shown
Rtrength on fnlriy good buylnrr by leading
commlrston houeen, wheat recoded today
and closed' urcncrally easy. September end
ed (lightly higher, but Deceinber and May
flnlahcd lower. Although sentiment ap
peared moro favorable to the hull elde for
a time, buyers became cautious, owing to
apprehension of bearish developments In
the foreign political situation. It was be
lieved that today's sales to foreigners
would be only moderate, lleports were cur
rant that forolgn Governments would con
centrate buying orders for American wheat,
fearing an embargo against shipments
abroad later. ,
Tho dccrearlo In the totl American and
European vlslblo supply, according to Ilrad
streets, was greater than had been ex
pected. That authority placed visible
stocks In the United .States at 48.089,000
bushels, an Increase of 1,612,000 bushels
for tha week and compares with 14,000,
000 bushels a year ago; In Canada It is
18,897,000 bushels, a decrease of 4,146,000
bushels for the week and compares with
9,734,000 bushels last year; In Europe,
continental stocks omitted. It Is 71,000,
000 bushels a decrease of 4,700.000 bushels
for tho week nnd compares with 40,200,000
bushels 11 year ago.
Tho total American and European supply
I 167,986,000 bushels, a decrease of 7,
234,000 bushels for the week and com
pares with 65,939,000 bushels last year.
News regarding fall plowing was bearish,
the condition of the soli being generally
favorable, although It is too dry In parts
of the belt. A great deal of work has
been begun and seeding Is under way.
Threshing of winter wheat has been com
pleted, and conditions have been favorable
for such operations In the spring belt.
Spot at Liverpool was unchanged to id
lower, but cargoes were firmer.

topic pf discussion In the financial di8trct
today. To any that It was a surprise to
the majority of the Street Is putting It
mildly. While It has been the talk for
some time that dividend action vras not
far off, the CQr,PSU8 or oplnlqn was that

That there were some Interests who knew
that something would be done was Indi
cated by the fact that the company's trust
certificates were active at a slight advance

shares changed hands, but when the tape
announced the dividend on the floor a brisk
demand started for tho trust certificates
which carried the prlco to the highest ever
recorded, 21.

from tho close of yestorday, more than
10,000 shares changing hands In all. This
