To Not Have Martial Law.

Athens, Jan. 10, delayed. MARTIAL
law will probably not be declared in
Greece for the present, on account OF
the strong opposition of the people and
particularly of the labor unions, which
have protested to the king, on the
ground that the cost of living is al
ready extremely high and that it would
be further advanced till conditions
would become intolerable.

BEARS UPHELD BY
RATE DECREASE
Reports Of Lower Freight Charges
from Argentina Throw Wheat
Lists on Decline.

Chicago, Jan. 20-Lower freight
rates from Argentina gave an adj
vantage today to the bears in wheat.
In this connection, notice was taken of
word that the French government had
perfected arrangements for an in
creased number of grain carrying yes
sells, and that in consequence a more
liberal movement from Argentina and
Australia was expected. Seaboard
buying developed here, however, when
prices declined. The opening, which
ranged from X to 114c lower, May Is
to 1.29& and July at 1922 to 1.23. was
followed by slight rally.
Later the market showed an advance
as result of signs of revived export
demand and because of higher quota
tons from Liverpool. New upturns in
ocean freight rates. however, led to a
subsequent reaction. The close was
weak, Is to 1@11sc net lower with
May at 1.29ss and July, 1.22h@1229s.
Corn lacked support. Consignments
from the country were much more
lighter than has recently been the
case. After opening 1z@3s to s@&
lower, the market underwent a little
additional sag.
Prices afterward hardened to some
extent when wheat went upgrade. Be-
sides weather conditions were unset
tied. The effect on prices. though. fail
ed to last Quotations closed weak at
1901 to 1A@1a net decline.
Oats, like corn, felt the bearish in
fiuence of prospective larger arrivals.
Commission houses leaned to the sell
ing side.
Lower prices on hogs weakened pro-
visions. Receipts of hogs throughout
the west were nearly twice as num-
erous as at the corresponding time
last week or a year ago.

STILL HOPE FOR
WAGE AGREEMENT
Miners and Operators May
Yet Reach Agreement
on Rates.

NEW YORK. March AFTER
hope had been abandoned Friday Of
reaching an agreement on the wage
Increases asked by the United Mine
Workers, in negotiations over a new
contract for the soft coal fields of
the middle west, the situation took a
slightly favorable turn and at night
both operators and miners said there
still was a chance of reaching a set
tiement.
When the subcommittee OF
miners and operators resumed its
session in the afternoon. after fruit
less efforts to get together in the
morning, nearly every one expected
a disagreement would be reported
10 the full joint conference. Neither
side. however. desired to take that
responsibility and the time was
passed in group conferences and in
the sending back and forth of en-
missaries to influential coal opera
tors not members of thes ub-cOm-
mittee. Then a motion was carried
to adjourn until Saturday at II a.
IN.
The miners will meet early Sat
urday and it is expected they will
present some figures relating TO dead
work and yardage on the mine run
basis which may ease up the situa-
ton and bring the two sides to-
gether. If they do not agree, a sine
die adjournment Will result and each
Of the four states involved will try
to make wage contracts by districts,
something which both sides have
tried to avoid, it is said.
J. G. Kolsen, an operator of Terre
Haute, Ind, and chairman Of the
subcommittee, said Friday night the
situation was mo worse than it was
early Friday" He would not say
whether any further propositions
were in sight from either side.
William Green, secretary treasurer
of the miners union, and Van Bit
ner. president of the western Penn
sylvania soft coal miners, said they
expected TO make an agreement with
the operators in this city.
The miners Friday cut down their
demand for 10 per cent increase
for dead work and yardage to five
per cent and also cut the 20 per
cent increase demand for men paid
by the day to 10 per cent. This
was rejected by the operators. The
miners voted down a proposition to
eut the tonnage increase from three
cents TO two cents with a corre-
spending reduction in the advance
asked in other classes of work.
