CORN IN CAR HELD
NOT DELIVERABLE
BOARD OF TRADE DIRECTORS
MAKE RULING WHICH RELIEVES
THE BULL OPERATORS.

Chicago, Dec. 31.-Much strain show
ed itself today in the corn trade but the
volume Of business in the pit was not
greater than usual and there were no
extraordinary changes in prices. De-
cember delivery, in which interest cen
tered was given a somewhat decided
lift in values as a direct result Of the
board of trade directors refused this
morning to enact emergency regula-
lions making corn on track deliverable
on contracts. The decision of the d.
rectors relieved the principal bull
SPECTATOR from being forced to accept
2,500,00 bushels at substantial loss.
Corn prices which at tie outset var
ie' from Il lower to &c advance, SEEM
ed inclined to keep within the opening
range, averaging about 1sc gain COM
pared with last nights figures.
The advance became decidedly more
pronounced for December, the result OF
covering on the part of belated shorts.
Receipts in all directions were light.
The close was steady at net gain OF
ss@1a to "a the latter for December.
Wheat sympathized with the t1rmness
Of corn. Disappointing harvest returns
in Argentina counted in fav9r OF the
bulls. Besides, there was some gossip
about the danger to winter wheat case :a
of sudden freeze after a thaw. The
market opened " off to Y up and then
scored a moderate raise all around.
Darkness interfering with inspec-
tion tended to make prices continue 10
advance. The close was steady " o. TO
1A above last night.
Oats hardened in consequence OF the
strength Of other grains. Transactions
however were light.
Although provisions at first were
easy on account of lower prices for
hogs, the market afterward responded
to TIE upturn In corn. On some options
the rise amounted to as much as ~
cents above last nights level.

TOBACCO.

Columbus discovered tobacco 422 years ago today, when. incidentally, he also discovered America. The great navigator and his men,. when they irste set foot1 on the shores of a New World island, found the dusky natives smoking dried leaves. of a plant unknown to Europeans. The leaves were rolled iu corn shucIks. and looked very much like a tamale. Thus the cigar or cfgarette-ca1l it which you pIease#was the first use of tobacco known to Europeans. On subsequent voyages Co1u1n bus discov- cred that the Indians chewed the cured leaves of the plant, and also pu1verized tobacco leaves and snuffed the powder up their noses. It was co were known to the natives from bacco habit had been practiced for untold ages. Pipes were used by only certain tribes, the maize-wrapped cigar being the favorite of the aborigi- nal smokers.

The Spanish and Portuguese were the. first to use the weed. and it was carried to France by Jean Meet, the French ambassador to Lisbon. Sir Francis Drake and Sir Waiter Raleigh were the principal tobacco mission aries in England. By 1914 the use of tobacco was general throughout T.u- rope, and every city had it's "stank- ards" as Ben Johnson called smok- ers-
