PAGETEN THE HUTCHINSON. KANSAS. NEWS SATURDAY, TANUARY 1933, TODAY'S MARKETS SETBACKS IN THE GRAIN MARKET Increased of Argentine and Canadian Wheat Responsible. Chicago, Jan. by sudden selling ascribed to a largo professional trader, wheat dropped late today, and atnp loss orders were forced Jnto execution.

Mast of the time previous, tho wheat market had an upward trend. A transient bullish factor wnu announcement that 160,000 UP he Is of American hard winter had been sold for export, presumably representing an exchange, for wheat in a more desirable position than at the seaboard. Wheat closed unsettled, under yesterday'? finish, corn Vi down, oats unchanged to ott, and provisions unchanged to a rise of 6 cents. Then Itully. iMlliea in wheat cniried the market to above yesterday's finish, and were associated with authoritative reports domestic draught areas wero extended, and big abandon, merit of winter wheat was probable forecasts indicated no moisture or irltrf was in sight where most 1 needed.

Bulla emphasized that records of previous years when do- mesth crops started with a low condition showed the yields seldom developed satisfactorily. Primary Small. In some quarters, talk was heard that would he more likelihood foreign prices of wheat would advance than that domestic market would decline, and that wheat primary receipts were little more than half of the total a year ago. Dearth of future delivery offerings today, except during a brief Interval at, tho start, was a noticeable feature. Commission houses readily look vine of whatever quantities were available from pit epeculators.

Corn and oats were easy owing to slgru corn prices were etJll out of line for export business. The Wheat Outlook, Manhattan. M. Rucker, extension marketing -specialist at Kansas State college, believes cash wheat prices will show mure strength during the coming week. "During January, there la frequently a week or two of increased mill buying, especially after a decline such us was the caso In late December," he explained.

"Practically all wheats of Ihc world have broken through the lows at the fall of except Kansas City wheat which at the lowest time was still about 3 cents over the lows of 1931. "Only moderate Improvement can be expected in January," ho added. "Unless February and March weather la severe and does further damage to growing crops, there- may be another weak spot from the first of February to the latter part of March, This should be followed by later strength, but it will be dependent upon the condition of Ihe growing crop."

Somers presides over district court. "I'm going to be unusually cautious about granting divorces where there are minor dependants ed," Judge Somers declared today. "A man has no business cutting loose from his family in times like these. He probably will get married again and have some more dependants anyway." Tho unemployment racket has been overworked by men who have been ordered to pay alimony and it makes a difficult problem for tho court Judge Somers would like to see the state legislature tighten divorce restrictions in KanBas. He believes such a move might halt some of the hasty marriages which almost invariably wind up in court.

"It seems to be the legislature should either tighten restrictions on divorce or else make the one ground, incompatabillty, necessary. That after all, la the only thing back of most divorces."

"My Grandfather's Bank My Father's Bank And Now It Is My Bank" There is a note of pride in the voice of an old depositor of the First National Bank as he points out to a friend the familiar building, and says "That is My Bank." In many instances, a depositor can say as well, "That is my father's was my grandfather's bank." During the fifty-six years of its existence, the First National Bank has earned an enviable reputation for efficiency, courtesy, sound judgment, a sympathetic understanding of its customers' problems, and a strict adherence to the highest ideals of business conduct. This bank lends money to sound business in bad times and in good. It will not deviate from this practice.
