Wheat Drops
Three Points
Heavy Tumble in Europe
Demand One of Alain
, . Causes of Fall
CHICAGO, April 15 -P-
Jolted by sadden nearly complete
stoppage of European demand,
vita 5 cents fall of Winnipeg
quotations, the Chicago wheat
market tumbled about S cenU
today. -
Indications were that import
ing countries had virtually com
pleted their buying program, at
least for the present. An addi
tional disturbing factor waa
threat of a widespread shipping
strike in the United States.
Uncertainty about the Cana
dian government - wheat board
sales policy was also talked of
as having a good deal to do
with wheat price setbacks. Eur
opeans were reported as owning
many million bushels of Winni
peg May wheat futures, and as
being dubious as to what course
to take in the absence of infor
mation relative to likelihood of
the "Canadian government board
letting go of perhaps .20,000,000
bushels.
Australia Supplx Large
Tending to give momentum to
the downward swing of values
were estimates of relatively large
supplies of - wheat available in
Australia.
May wheat contracts led the
fall of Chicago prices today,
tumbling from a high of $1.36
to a low of 1.34?s at the last,
against $1.37 at yesterday's
close.
Corn, rye and oats all went
lower with wheat. Competition
of Argentine imports acted as a
weight on the corn market.
Provisions reflected downturns
of grains, but afterward, respond
ed bog market advance. Tem
porarily, lard touched a new low
price record for the season. i
Leisure
CHAPTER XXVII
The late August sunlight shone
n the downs, on the sea, through a
succession of days that went swiftly
past from the day of Keith's arrival
until the time of Gilbert's return
grew near.
In the sunshine, in the clear light
air, Felicia, Keith and Denise spent
their days together, as though un
willing to leave one another's sight.
' In the long evenings, when the moon
rose and shone over the garden, over
the terrace where they sat until very
late, they talked together of inconse
quential things while a kind of be
wilderment grew on the old faces of
Michael and Sara Rendale, watch
ing them.
Through the sunlit days, the
moonlit evenings, Felicia walked
proudly, her red-gold head high as
ever. Sh would not hurry him, not

garden after dinner.
Keith said: "Well, Felicia, will

The same question he had asked
ta Virginia In the springtime. Had
his voice sounded more eager then?
She could not remember. All the
things that had happened since in
tervened between her and remem
brance.
"Probably, Keith. Let's nlk of it
again, when we've got used to each
ether's company after so long
without.
Then, surprisingly, Denise came
out into the garden as if she were
looking for them! Yet surely she
must Know uiat tney wanted to be
alone.
She settled herself on a garden
bench, her shoulders gleaming white
above that black lace dress. Felicia
thought: "She s grown very sedue
tive, Denise hae."
Then she noticed Keith's face. So
did he not smile at herself I That
was the first time she shivered a
little, there in the warm dark.
"What shall we all do tomorrow?"
-. Denise asked. I suppose you can't
., walk well yet, Keith? It's a pity.
There are some gorgeous walks
across the downs."
"I manage fairly well ; and I want
to do as much as possible to
strengthen my muscles. My arm
was slower recovering than my leg."
Felida started to speak, but

"Did yon bring painting things?
There's a view I'm mad to have you
paint."
He chuckled. "Father insisted I

"How is your father. Keith?

knew Denise had never happened to
meet him.
"Well. He's in London. I meant
to tell you we sailed together. He's
going to Paris, where he has
friends."
"But you must bring him down
first," Felicia said.
Denise merely looked at her. Tea,
it teas Denise s bouse.
"He says he's looking forward to

dine with him in two or three weeks,

His tone was reassuring then. So

"Oh, Keith, would you?" Denise
exranded completely delighted.
Would too begin soon?"
"Tomorrow, If you like."
' - Felicia was suddenly tense. Why,
Denise was being malicious A small
pulse beat in her white throat.
Keith did not, after that evening,
remind Felicia that she had said:
Well talk about it later." But he
reminded Denise of the portrait the
text morning.

And from that time on, an Inner
rape beset Felicia, naming up and
dwindling as Denise laughed at
Keith s jokes, or fell silent some
times, seeming preoccupied more
with -T own thoughts than with
him. " : . i '
Thiough the sunlit days, the frag
rant evenings, Denise moved with a
kind of breathlessness. All very well
to decide to have what one wanted,
and' not think of other people. She'd
known since she walked down that
staircase, saw Keith smiling up at
her, that what she wanted was
Keith's arms round her, and the
whole year blotted out. But his
handsome face was scarred and
would be always; Felicia's bright
beauty was dimmed, grown less
young. Keith Sheldie had gone
from Denise to her sister. Denise
Rendale had gone from Keith to her
husband. Perhaps, even with his
arms round her, they could not long
pretend that they were as they used
to be, as young, care-free, newly in
love. f i
She made no gesture of love to
him, nor he to her. i In the morn
ings, he painted her; portrait, with
Felicia a rather bored audience to
the painting. In the afternoons
they three walked or swam, or went
for long drives, or lay on the sand
and chattered politely, like well-behaved
guests on a long house-party.
Once Felicia said to her: "You're
very generous to us with your com
pany, Denise." s
She answered: "1 thought you
wanted to be thoroughly chaper
oned, for a change." I
She was sorry for that sharp
speech, but when she turned to tell
Felicia she was sorry, Felicia was
gone. j .
Denise had a cable from Gilbert,
saying that he was on his way to
New York, and would sail on the
first fast ship he could get. But
what would she say to him?
Some days after that cable, she
came back from driving her mother
to the London train for a day's
shopping, to find Felicia in the hall
waiting for her. j
"They telephoned another cable
from Gilbert. He's sailing on the
Normarri. I copied Tt down for
you. i !
"Odd," said Denise; "he likes
English ships best, usually.
"I suppose this was the most con
venient sailing.
Denise was reading the scribbled
message: "amn Nor ma me ar
rive Southampton Thursday all
love. -:; :
So in six days he would arrive !
Felicia quoted: "'So make the
most of what ye yet may spend "
Denise looked at ber. Something
scornful in Felicia a white face I
There were six days, five days,
four days, three days left; and noth
ing was resolved in Denise's heart.
Two days before the Normam was
scheduled to dock, Felicia said at
breakfast: "Think I'll go to London
tomorrow, and leave Keith and Den
ise to amuse each other.
"I'm going up with your mother.1
her father said. "We'll all take the
same train." . i
"No, if you don't mind. Father.
I'd like to start at sunrise and drive.
It would be fun to see the country."
"Such a long drivel" Sara Ren
dale protested. f '
"Well. I may stay in town over
night." I
"But then you may not be here for
r?;iw-' - T 1 m ,
UUWClb, ,111T, it. g
"He's not coming to see me," Fe
licia said dryly. :
On Wednesday morning she did
start a little before sunrise, but for
Southampton. True that the Nor-
marri docked Thursday, but Gil
bert was aboard the Memtaria. She
had changed the message on a sud
den angry impulse when she copied
it down. Denise had been too in
terfering! She would get even by
interfering little herself. !
Occasionally during the Interval
between changing that message, and
waiting for the Werritaria'g arrival,
what she had done I troubled ber.
Perhaps. Gilbert would wireleaa as
he neared England. But she could
just say she'd mistaken the original
cable, and no harm done. But he did
not happen to wireless. -
Keith finished Denise a portrait
that week. It was a charming thing.
They both seemed ! very pleased
about it and Felicia's determina
tion hardened, watching them. They
made it plain enough ahe was less

Primes Aren't
Hit by Storms
Sign-up For Control Board
Goes on in State, With
Response Good
While it Is too earl to say
definitely that prnne prospects
In this section hare suffered no
damage due to the hear- rains
the past week. It Is probable
that little or no loss will be
traceable to this storm, says -A.
If. Chapman, manager of the
prune control board. .
As a matter of fact. If the
crop Is damaged growers prob
ably f will be inclined to shed
few tears, as at the present time
there Is no market on dried
prunes, and added to that the
1936 crop moTement was cur
tailed for a three month period
during the maritime strike. A
heary crop tor 1937 would make
dismal picture for the prune
grower, in face of the apparent
carryoYer. .
But however the new crop de
velops, growers are carrying for
ward the sign-up of control board
members, and by fall the prune
control movement expects to
claim an overwhelming majority
of the prnne growers of the state.
Mr. Chapman says. An especial
ly pleasing note in the sign-up
this spring Is, the Inclusion In
the control membership of some
of the largest orchards in this
section, the new large blocks
running to around 1500 acres.
The sign-up now is largely
through efforts of the total mem
bership, rather than by the
board of directors or manager.
in which angle Mr. Chapman sees
a healthy enthusiasm for control
of the Industry.
A district meeting will be held
at the schoolhouse at Shaw to
night : at 8 o'clock - on call of J.
C. Peterson. Chapman has been
invited to attend.
LIBERTY, April IB Although
due to the weather only a small
crowd was out Wednesday night
at the prune growers' meeting
here, most growers In the Red
Hills district present signed their
crop under the prune control
board, and others are expected to
do so soon.

Follow This Lead;
Average Off .2
NEW YORK, April 15-fl)-Both
buyers and sellers were
unusually timid In today's stock
market although the latter had
a little the best of the argu
ment. Steels were droopy throughout
and other leaders inclined to
slip In sympathy. Declines of
fractions to a point or so pre
dominated at the close. An as
sortment of isst.es was nnchang
ed. A few. - Drincioallr special
ties, worked against the trend
and a handful of favorites e.dged
into new high territory for the
year. But "new lows" were plen
tiful.
Drift Always Down
The drift was downward from
the start, The pace was unusual
ly slow and the tape frequently
at a standstill. Transrers
amounted to 937,800 shares, the
smallest In three weeks, and
compared with 1,482,000 yester
day. The Associated Press aver
age of 60 stocks was off .2 or
a point at 70.4.
On the side of recovery forces
was another batch of cheerful
first quarter earnings statements
and further predictions at an
nual company meetings of con
tinued Improvement over the
next several months If . not the
remainder of the year. There was
some question, however. If these
had not been discontinued to
some 4 degree.
