CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Sept. I5-Serious drought reports from Argentine tended today to handicap the bears in wheat. Large ly in consequence the market although unsettled at the close was h to 1 h net higher with December at s1.49h to l.4gA and May at S1.50. Corn fin shed A n1a to l% cent up and oats with q gain of fs to Aat7s. In pro- is.ons. the outcome varied from , cents decline to rise of 27 cents.
 It was evident at the outset that yes- terday's sudden break in the price of wheat had taken place without an ade- quate cause, but confid ence seemed to have been shaken so badly that until late in the session rallies were not well maintained. All developments tended to establish that no Argentine wheat 9f any consequence was headed to- ward the United States and that owing to d lack of visibles no change was looked for. On the other hand the bears made much of the fact that re- cent purchasing for the Greek govern .nent had turned out to be only half IS large as had been supposed. Bulls finally appeared to have obtained a clear advantage, however, after the receipt of word that the crop situation n Argentine was critical owing to drought.
 Frosts last night and more prediction for tonight carried corn values up- grade. Advances were checked by Knowledge that a large percentage of the crop was out of danger. Oats de- rived fIrmness chiefly from corn and wheat.
 nlgner prices on hogs lifted pro- visions. Close:
 Wheat: Dec. $1.49h: May s1.5O. Corn: Dec. 72hc; May 75Bc.
 Oats: Dec. 47%c; May 50%c.
 Pork: Oct. $26.75; Jan $23.S7.

HO0SIER DRY
FIGHT IMPENDS
Liquor Men Counting On Vote
of the Cities to Win
for Them

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 24.-Gen.
John Barleycorn was marshaling his
forces today preparatory to attack
and defense at several important
points in Indiana in March. April
and May will see other important
engagements with the anti-liquor
crusaders attacking or defending
as the case may be- Indiana's liv-
est issue, the saloon question, bids
fair TO retain it's ascendancy for
years to come unless the foes Of
General Barleycorn sweep in from
the rural districts and in a state
wide movement drive his legions
from their hitherto impregnable en-.
trenchments In swamp regions of
the big cities. In no other way, say
the liquor men, can such cities a.
Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evans
Vile and South Bend be made dry
in this generation. Yet 1916 was
a winning year for the dry forces,
according to figures obtained today
from the headquarters OF the Anti
Saloon league. In the scores of
elections held, the dry forces put out
of business liz saloons. The vets
re.established five. or Indiana's 92
county seats, "a are without saloons.
There are 33 counties without wet
spot in them. There are $40 dry in
corporated towns and 3S dry cities.
Elections in 1916. according to the
Anti-Saloon league, added territory
with 10000 inhabitants TO the dry
part of the state. The desperate
character of the struggle in Indi-
ana Is best indicated by n compari-
son of the total wet and dry vote
for 1915. In "a cities the total vote
was, dry 22.021; wet 10.6iS. Muncie.
at present infested with blindtiger-
Ills. may be the next battle-ground
Muncie went dry in 1914 by 462
majority, and its tiger troubles have
been displayed TO the state ever
since that time. Green burg also
will vote in March on the wet and
dry issue.
