Address.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-President
Taft forgathered with home folks
tonight, when he appeared as guest OF
honor at the annual banquet of the
Ohio society Of New York city.
The president, whose entrance was
the signal for wild demonstration,
expressed once again his humorous
opinions on his defeat, declaring
earnestly that he wished the :lceming
party all the success that its leaders
predicted for it.
The Ohio Society dinner, which the
president addressed late in the even
ing, after he had been the guest Of
honor at the dinner to former Presi-
dent Andrew w. White, and the board
Of trustees of Cornell university was
the fifth banquet he has attended in
two nights. In addition to these, he
was rendered a breakfast in Phila-
delphia by the Glover Club, his hosts
of the night before.
Sunday the president will address
the annual convention of Grand
Lodge of B'Nai Birth here, and on
Monday he will attend the regular
meeting of the Yale corporation at
New Haven, when it is reported, he
will resign, that he may accept the
Kent chair of law that has been ten
dered him and that he has unofficial
ly announced he will assume after
March 4.
After an informal lunch with Presi-
dent Hadley Monday, the president
will return to New York where he
will attend a theatre performance,
leaving for Washington at midnight.

Daily Grain Review.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.--Prices of grain
generally did not vary much from the
close last Saturday. Early in the week
there was sharp rise, but gradually
the gain was lost as the week pro-
gressea, and today there was a small
drop in all grains.
Comparative prices Of the close to-
day with the close last Saturday fol-
low: Wheat May up Nc; July I'M
changed. Corn, May and July up sc;
oats, May down nc; July down &c.
Cold weather at the beginning with
smaller movement of spring wheat
to Minneapolis and Duluth were the
bullish influences at the start. The
disappearance of snow in mid-winter
did not have the usual effect, because
when the plant emerged it showed SO
healthy that confidence was gained.
III probably will continue unless Sc
we're cold weather comes while the
wheat is uncovered.
Broomhalls review of the situation
had share In causing the advance.
He said the requirements of the i'm
porting countries before August would
be SO great that they would need all
they could get from the exporters.
Speculation in corn was unstable
The demand for export was strong
strengthened some by the continued
hot and dry weather In Argentine
which is unfavorable to growing crops
there. The shipment from Chicago was

coveries. the drop in some Of the
leading stocks not reaching over from
two to four points. Much of the SELL
4 ing was attributed to liquidation by
professional operators.
Various reasons were given for this.
The leading influences appeared to be:
A feeling of uncertainty as to the
forthcoming report of the money
trust committee; uncertainty as to
the stock exchange legislation in view
at Albany; uncertainty as to possible
tariff legislation under the new adj
ministration and a reported feeling OF
unrest because Of doubt as to the new
administration view on this same
matter. The Balkan situation was
also regarded as a contributing cause
