shot through the back, had been
dumped by the roadside on U. S.

Prices Take
Sharp Dips
NEW YORK, Oct 16__(AP)
—Financial and commodity
markets were unsettled, today
by news President Roosevelt
had cancelled his afternoon
cabinet meeting and called in
military advisers instead.
Whether this step was tak- .
en because of developments in
the Far East, or the Nazi suc-
cesses in Russia, was not clear,
but Wall street was inclined to
the opinion the far eastern out-
look had worsened.
CHICAGO, Oct. 16.—(P—Wheat
prices tumbled 10 cents a bushel
on the board of trade today, the
limit permit ted in one session. All
other grains showed sharp losses,
with selling in all pits attributed to
war news and fall of the Japanese
cabinet.
Wheat showed weakness all dur-
ing the session, but heavy selling
poured into the pit in the final
half hour and prices collapsed
quickly.
This was the first time the mar-
ket has dropped the limit permit-
ted by trading rules since May,
1940, when prices of grains tumbled
sharply with the German successes
in Western Europe "
At the day’s low point wheat
showed net losses from the four-
year peaks recorded early in Sep-
tember of about 30 cents a bushel.
Corn was 17 to 20 cents down, oats
11 to 13 lower, rye 19 to 22 lower
and soybeans almost 50 cents lower.
December delivery wheat futures
closed at $1.05-1-2 to 5-B. off a
dime, corn at 67 1-2 to 68 1-2, oats
43 1-3 te 3-4, rye 58 1-8 and October
new soybeans finished $1.48 1-3.
NEW ORLEANS. Oct. Ig.—on-
Cotton futures broke more than $5
a bale here today to response to
the Japanese cabinet crisis and un-
favorable Russian war news.
An avalanche of selling orders
flooded the market shortly after
noon to add to early nervousness
over the foreign situation which
had forced prices down about $1.50
a bale on top of a similar drop
yesterday.
The range of prices just after the
break at the noon hour was 1M to
11g points below the close of yes-
terday At that time December sold
down to 15.61 cents a pound. March
15.80, May 15.88 and July 15.97.
Later shorts took profits and the
market reacted to recover about
$1.50 a bale from the lowest levels
of the break. .

Off Relations
TOKYO, Oct. 16.—(P)—The Jap-
anese government resigned to-
night, admitting its inability to
agree on the great Issues confront-
ing the empire.
Failure to reach an accord with
the United States and growing mil-
itary pressure for action in the
crisis arising from German suc-
cesses against Russia were strong-
ly indicated as major factor! In
the ministry's fall.
(Japan stood apparently at
the crossroads weighing peace
against a possible open break
with the Unite States or war
in Soviet Siberia.)
Premier Prince Fumimaro Ko-
noye presented en bloc the resig-
nation of the cabinet, his third, to
Emperor Hirohito amid increasing
press agitation for an end to ef-
forts to conciliate the United
States.
CONFER FEVERISHLY
(Konoye had let it be known he
would not take responsibility for
a break with America.)
Predictions were made in to-
formed quarters that the crisis
might produce a more vigorous for-
eign policy, designed to combat

WASHINGTON Oct 16-(UP)-
The OPM priorities division today
issued an order extending priori-
ties assistance to virtually alLef the
nations industrial plants big and
small. In obtaining maintenance
and repair materials.
I Dutch East Indies.
Informed observers expressed be-
lief that the cabinet’s fall waa
linked with an unfavorable turn
’ in talks in Washington locking to-
ward lessening of Japanese-Ameri-
can tension.
It was pointed out that a fever-
• Uh series of conferences and im-
perial audiences began here almost
immediately after the return to
Washington last week of Kaname
Wakasugi Japanese minister.
A crescendo came just after
Washington dispatches told of a
meeting between Wakasugi and
Undersecretary of State Sumner
Welles, to which it was understood
both tides laid all their cards on
the table.
MEETING TONIGHT
Wakasugi had been recalled to
Tokyo in August to make a full re-
port on the American situation and
when he returned, by way of Mex-
ico. It was reported he carried im-
portant instructions.
The emperor asked Konoye to
continue to office until a successor
could be named and the premier
agreed. He summoned his col-
leagues for a meeting at 1 p. m to-
morrow (10 p. m. Thursday, West
Texas time) to consider the next
move.
The resignation followed severe!
days of intensive consultations
among the empire’s highest, over
some of which the emperor himself
presided T
Until tonight there had been no
official intimation that a cabinet
crisis was imminent. (Although
yesterday It waa pointed out that
the prominent part taken in the
conferences by the lord privy seal,
Marquis Koichi Kido, indicated Mg
changes.)
Domei, news agency close to’the
government, said formation of the
new government, whether under
Konoye or someone else, probably
would ret under war tomorrow.

ed the public when newsboys ran

after a foreign office announce-

threatened Russian capital lor an
undisclosed destination

President Roosevelt today cancelled
a scheduled cabinet session and in-
stead called a meeting with his
ranking State department and mill-
tary and naval advisers, presum-
ably on the-new-crisis 18 Japan
caused by the resignation of the
Konoye cabinet.
The White House gave no ex-
planation of the sudden rearrange
ment of today’s meetings, but in-
formed administration quarter!
took a grave view of the Japanese
situation and interpreted them as
making a collapse of the two-month
“peace talks” between Washington
and Tokyo.
Resignation of the Konoye cab-
Inai also caused renewed specula-
tion among officials as to the pos-
sibility of a Japanese move against
Russia.
Of equal concern waa the specu-
lation which gained momentum in
certain administration circles that
any Nipponese move against the
Soviet might entail interference
with shipment of American war aid
to the Siberian port of Vladivo-
stok. Unarmed American ships
have been carrying quantities of
supplies through Japanese waters
to Vladivostok.
