Chicago. Nov. 14.-Although wheat
prices were little easier at the outset
today, the market later hardened. Ben
eficial rains in Argentina favored the
bears, but world shipments were ex-
pected to be light, with Russian hold

addition, temperatures below zero were
reported at some Canadian points. The

Unlike other grain, oats showed no

Provisions went lower. Gables told OF
the cheapness and free offers Of Irish

virtually certain that the embargo
against the shipment Of arms and am

lifted soon by the United States and
Carranza's officers were jubilant at the
prospect Of a vigorous campaign
against the federals
American property owners along the
border also took great interest In pro-
