CHICAGO, Dec. a-Revived fears OF ser
ious damage by frost to the Argentine
crop supplantcd the government reports in
the wheat market today and caused ad-
Yances Of NC to 20 from the low point OF
the session. The close was strong at al
most the top. Corn and oats also closed
Prospects OF a liberal yield OF winter
wheat in the United States as outlined by
the official statistics made public yester-
day seemed to have been entirely ignored
by traders In the wheat pit today and
their attention was directed to Argentina
where the ripening crop Is reported TO have
been damaged by frost. Todays advances
be more serious than suggested In earlier
dispatches. Bullish sentiment was aug
mented by light receipts at all primary
points, due TO the severe storm, the total
pared with l039,000 bushels the correspond
ing day last week. A leading elevator In
terest was a liberal buyer of December
which caused the price Of that option TO
meantime rose from $l.Oih to SLOSh4lOSH:
December was quite errauc the final half
hour. The market, however, closed strong,
with December at the top. Final figures
on May were at $1Os.
Light receipts and cold weather through
out the corn belt were chiefly responsible
to' a strong corn market. An advance OF
"a to nc In the price of the cash grain
stimulated additional demand for futures.
The market closed strong with prices %c
to &c higher.
Buying of December by cash interests
was the feature OF trading in oats. The
principal bullish influence was the contin-
uance of light receipts which resulted In an
advance Of No to &c In the price Of cash
prices sc to %@he higher.
Provisions closed 30 higher to bglOc

regarding the hog trade this morning.
Trains were very late, as has been the
case for some days back, and less than
half OF the estimated receipts were in sight
when the market opened. TT day was
very far advanced before anything vas
reported in. The prices paid did not show
much change as compared with yesterday,
still II was, IL anything, a little stronger,
and later on It showed still more strength.
1t was evident that packers wanteS the
hogs and were disposed to strain a point
even IN order to secure what they wanted.
The hogs sold largely at $50 for decent
loads, With pretty good kind OF mixed hogs
going at S. rs and good heavy hogs on up
as high as $3.50.
The top price today-SS. s2k-is the high
est paid so far this year. The highest

NEW USE OF PAPER

Germany manufactures annually
425, 900 tons of paper, England $780,
900 tons, France 10000 tons, Aus
tria l55, 1000 tons. and Italy 120, ,O0O
tons. But the United States makes
and uses more paper than all
Europe, the annual production
amounting to 100000 tons. A
French journal mentions the follow
ing novel uses of paper in America:
Roofs of paper and compressed
wood pulp have proven successful.
A Chicago firm makes paper gar
ments which are so light, flexible,
and convenient that they are largely
used in hospitals. The paper is
made of the bark of the paper null
berry tree and is tubsized and finely
craped. Several sheets are super
posed and sewn together. The gar
ments have narrow wooden bind
ings, buttons, buttonholes and other
fastenings. Paper cigars are made
by sleeping paper pulp for ten days
in decoction of cigar clippings,
passing it between cylinders and

busy after all the valley wheat has
been ground into flour:
1T is said that the Creighton
University, of Omaha, Nebraska,
has recently made experiments with
alfalfa as a substitute for the kinds
of grain used in making flour. The
experiments are reported as proving
eminently seccessful, and the quail
ty of bread most palatable and nu-
tritious.
The alfalfa is especially selected
for its quality, and after the leaves
and portions of the stem have been
ground in a mill it is bolted. From
the process comes meal almost as
fine as flour and of a rich brown
color. By means of a bleaching
process it is finally brought to a
creamy tint, which in the loaf that
is baked presents a most pleasing
and appetizing appearance.
Many varieties of eatables in
cluding gems, pancakes and other
familiar compositions of white -four
have been made from the new meal
with most gratifying results to the
student discoverers."
