GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, January M.-Extreme cold
weather in Europe led to higher prices
today for wheat. There was q belief that
serious crop damage had been done by
the freeze, particularly in northern
France, where snow protection has been
lacking. Decreasing stocks northwest Of
Chicago tended also to help the bulls.
The opening, which varied from u OF to
a like advance, was followed by a mate
rial gain all around.
Corn sympathized with the wheat
strength. More seasonable temperatures
counted, too. against the bears. Prices
after starting unchanged to " higher
scored a decided gain.
, In oats, the quotation changes were
chiefly upgrade on account of the prevail
ing sentiment as to other grain. Commits
sion demand was fair.
Higher prices for hogs carried provi-
were under considerable selling pressure.
For the most part, transactions varied
from last nights level to an advance Of
10 cents.

Despite bullish advices from Argentina,
the wheat advance here was checked
by assertions that the rise had shut off
export sales. The close was firm, X to "
above last night.
No important setback occurred and the
close in corn was steady. v to y net

Garry Firemen and Policemen.

President George E. Hamilton Of the
Capital Traction Company told the Cros-
ser subcommittee of the House District
committee today that his company would
readily grant free transportation to po-
licemen and firemen, as proposed by the
Kahn bill. He said that even If the pro-
posed law is not mandatory on this
point the street railway would gladly
allow the officials In question to ride
without paying fare.
Representative Crosser asked whether
policemen and fremen should be given
passes. special tickets or whether the
display of a badge. would be sufficient.
Mr.. Hamilton said the company is willing
to allow the men to ride free on recogni-
ton of badge or uniform. Mr.. Crosser
believes that the city should furnish the
men with tickets to be paid for at regu-
lar rates.
