(central selling agency for the Canadian Wheat Pool) has guessed wrong, held too many millions of bushels too long, expecting a rise in World grain prices which has turned out to be a fall.

The smart audience was also hypnotized into perfect behavior. It arrived punctually, never once applauded at the wrong time, saved its coughs for intermissions. After the con cert there gathered backstage Chairman Clarence Hungerford Mackay of the Phil harmonic Board of Directors, Banker Otto Hermann Kahn, Soprano Lucrezia Bori, Packer Charles Henry Swift and his wife Soprano Claire Dux, Pianist Jose Iturbi, Violinist Joseph Szigeti.
