GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. May 16.-Rain in the south
west tended today to make the wheat
market easy. Continued dry weather was
regarded as likely to cause greater dam
ger of crop injury from Hessian fly. 1t
took but little buying. however. to hold
prices close to the previous days finish.
The opening, which was ls off to Is up.
was followed by slight sag all around.
Corn showed f1rmness on account of un-
favorable conditions in Argentina. Aus
picious weather for domestic planting
served as an Offset in part Quotations
hardened. especially for May.
Oats followed corn. Trade. though, was
small.
Notwithstanding lack Of demand pro-
visions moved up with corn and hogs
Most Of the business was in lard.
Butter, eggs. cheese and potatoes were
unchanged. Receipts: Eggs, 1s,204 cases;
potatoes. 81 cars. Poultry: Alive, lower:
fowls, 10.
Subsequently congestion became very
apparent in May wheat. and led specu-
lators to take to the buying side of de-
ferred futures. There were reports that
the Hessian fly had spread into Kansas,
notably in Salina and Ottawa counties
The close for wheat was unsettled at
y net advance.
The bears suffered worse after Buenos
Aires dispatches came indicating that
rain damage was being increased by
excessive heat. The corn close was
steady. Aass to 2 above last night.

VIENNA WORKMEN SUFFER.
Landlords Refuse to Rent Flats to
Persons With Children.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
VIENNA, May 6.-The refusal Of land
lords In Vienna to rent fats to persons
with children has become such an OBJ
stacle to families Of the working classes
that they are suffering real hardship in
their quest for suitable living quarters.
The condition Of affairs has been present
ed to the city council and a proposal
made to lower the taxes on houses whose
owners would permit children to live in
them. While this particular motion was
shelved it is not improbable that some
thing may be done in this direction. Since
taxes on house property in Vienna
amount to more than AZ per cent Of the
gross rentals, any reduction would be
extremely welcome.
Workers living in suburbs are found
to be badly crowded. as many as eight
persons sometimes occupying fiat that
consists Of one small room and a kitchen.
Notwithstanding that the Austrian gov

and cigarettes. the smoking habit ap-

Cigars had a great falling off. there
being only 1.154.00O.O00 cigars smoked
during 1912, a decrease of S2,000,0OO as
compared with the previous year. but the
consumption of cigarettes reached the
enormous total of 6.222.OOOOO0.
