...wheat ran above $1 per bu. for the first time in three years. But even inflation talk, crop damages and drought could not hold it there, with the result that the long interests grew increasingly impatient.

There was not much sense in a heavy long position, traders argued, when the Federal Government, eagerly seeking reciprocal trade agreements, might hand down other rulings as favorable to foreign imports as the decision on rye.

Principal difficulty in making Eskimo were the three hunting scenes. The seasons for whale, walrus and caribou are the same but Alaskan Eskimos hunt them in different places. Director Van Dyke hustled from one hunting ground to another by plane. Mala is an Eskimo but not a wild one.
