EXCHANGE
RESUMES TRADING
No inclination to Dump Ameri-
can Holdings Manifested
In First Hours of
Business.

London. Jan. 5.-The London stock
Exchange reopened for business today,
after having been closed on account of
the war since July 80. Severe restric-
tons were placed upon trading in or
der to prevent anything approaching
panic selling or the unloading of Sc
curities by hostile countries.
The session opened with a round of
ringing cheers and to the strains of
the national anthem, heartily sung by
rather smaller attendance than US
aal. A number OF British and French
members were absent on account Of
the war, while the exclusion Of aliens
who were not able to satisfy the COM
mittee that they had severed all con-
nection with foreign countries reduced
somewhat the foreign attendance.
The single fact that business has
been resumed even on a limited scale
and under restrictions is taken to in
dicate that the greatest crisis in the
history of the exchange has been safely
negotiated through the combined eff
forts Of the treasury and the stock eX-
change committee. The house had been
redecorated and today presented a
cheerful appearance. Several English
members appeared in khaki There was
no shouting Of bids across the house
and business was on strictly cash
basis. The committee decided to al
low dealings only between the hours
Of IL and 3.
The general opinion that the restric-
tons to trading would curtail busl-
ness to a considerable extent was
borne out during the first half hour.
Not single bargain occurred in Amer
leans, and only a few of these securi-
ties appeared. The war loan was

COTTON and COPPER
MONOPOLY SUGGESTED
English Economist Urges Brit
ain to Contract For Entire
American Output.

London. Jan. 5.-Arthur Kitson, the
inventor and author OF various works
on economics, writes to the Morning
Post suggesting that the simplest way
out of the difficulty between England
and the United States arising from the
detention OF American cargOes by Brit
ish warships is for the British gov
eminent to contract to take the entire
copper and cotton supply of the United
States for the next year or two.
Mr.. Kitson says 1t would be a prof
liable undertaking, as 1t would shorten
the duration of the war by depriving
Germany of these commodities and
England could supply neutral coun-
tries with such quantities Of them as
would satisfy their local demands.

But not my love to thee;

At a gate on the hill. in a weary hour
When the rough wind vexed the sea,
She held in her hand She faded flower:

But not thy love to me,
Tho there come no news from tho

He knelt alone by white graVestonei

The scroll he read:

There are many women in Chicago

Liverpool Also Reflects Urgent
European Demand - Wild
Day on Board-May
Delivery Highest.
PRICE S1.3434 PER BUSHEL

Chicago. Jan. 5.--wheat prices today
overtopped all previous high records
since the beginning of the European
war. May delivery went to $1.32% a
bushel, as compared with $1.32 on Sep
TENDER last, when speculative excite
ment In regard TO trans Atlantic devel-
opments was most acute.
Shutting out OF fear of Argentine
competition was the immediate cause
OF today's advance. Ocean freight
rates from Argentina have so sharply
advanced that the South American
grain is no longer relatively cheap. Be-
sides higher quotations at Liverpool
this morning showed the urgency OF
European demand.
During the advance in wheat prices
here, q jump OF &c since Saturday
night, trading appeared of a decidedly
livelier character than has recently
been the rule. The explanation in a
measure was the fact that margins re-
quired on transactions are now only
about half what was required not many
weeRs ago.
In the last hour of the session re-
ports OF immense cash sales for ocean
shipment gave prizes further big
lift. Just before the final gong brought
business to a halt, wheat for May de-
livery. the chief speculative option,
was snapped up in some cases as high
as S1.34%, a rise of az cents a bushel
since Saturday night. The close was
strong, with the market as a whole
at an advance of "a @3hc net.
SOARING AT ST. LOUIS.
st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 4.--Wheat prices
on the st. Louis Merchants exchange
today reached the highest figures since
the beginning of the European war.
May wheat sold at $1.3O, 4 cents higher
than the price on September 26, when
excitement over the war was keen. The
price increase was attributed to heavy
export demand and the practical elm
ination of Argentine competition.

CHICK TROUBLES

After the chicks hatch the mistake Is

The second cause for losses among
baby chicks is the feed. Just before
the chick Is Matched it takes the yolk
into its body. This is Il little lunch

supply 1t with food till it learns how
to eat after It comes out into the big

feeding baby chicks, rs to what, when
and how to feed Some people seem
to think that Decause a little chick Is
picking at everything 1t sees that it IL
hungry, so they feed it ut once. The
little chick Is a new creature In Il
strange land. investigating through Gu
riosity. and is not really hungry. 9th
er people know that the chick has the
yolk inside its body and that It con-
tains food enough to last the chick for
several days, so do not feed 1t for
three or four days.
These are the extremes, and either
Of them may do injury to the chick.
To feed as soon as hatched would
gorge the digestive system with too
much food, and to wait four or Ave
days the labor required would be too
great for its strength.
The better plan is to begin feeding
small quantities OF food at from TWEEN
