Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-Immense export
sales brought about a substantial ad-
vance today in the price Of wheat, Quo
with May at 81 .26k and July at sl.l9G'
119h. Other leading staples, TOO, all
scored gains-corn, Mqlc to 1hc, oats, 9sc
to &C, and provisions, 711c to 25c.
Strength in wheat developed only after
the market had undergone a setback at
the start. Rumors that foreigners were
selling appeared to be responsible for the
temporary downturn, which was in the
face of decidedly bulish cable advices.
The European visible supply showed a
pronounced falling off, Argentine vessel
rates had scared again, India was suffer
ing from dry weather and II was said
Italy and Spain were arranging for large
imports.
Prices here, however, did not begin to
ascend until signs seemed to point TO
unusual activity on the part OF exporters.
The purchases for Europe were finally
anpounced as aggregating !. 600 900 bushels.
France was understood to be the leading
buyer.
announcement for wheat bulls received
additional stimulus from indications that
railway congestion was being remedied to
some extent.
the 1915 crop The CHIEF reasons were
reports that danger existed OF serious
crop damage in Argentina and that big
export transactions for March shipment
Oats reflected the strength OF corn
Buying for Europe continued, but the
amounts reported were not large.
Higher prices on hogs helped to lift
provisions. II was said there was a not.

American Fiction
Writer is Drafted
Into French Army

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan, Thames Nj.
Hopper, the California novelist, who is
now in Paris as a magazine correspond
ent, has been ordered to report for duty
i'm the French army on the theory that
he is a citizen of France, according to
information received here, II became
known today, in csblegram TO his
father-in-law, Joseph a. Leonard OF this
city, in which Hopper appeals for aid In
proving his American citizenship.
Hopper has been officially declared by
the French war office, the cablegram
says, to be a Frenchman and liable for
army service. The cablegram asked for
copy OF Hoppers marriage certificate.
This cannot be produced as all records
were destroyed in the san Francisco fire
Of 1906, so Leonard spent yesterday in
preparing affdavits and hunting up wit
nesses who might be able to give testi-
mony that would convince the French
authorities.
Hopper, who IL a graduate of the uni
versity OF California. is the son Of an
Englishman and a French woman, who
were married in Paris. Hopper was born
in the French capital. He came to Cali
fornia with his mother after the death
of his father.
The novelist was married in Berkeley,
Cal. His wife and their 5-year-Old son,
James, are in Paris with him.

New Law Changes
DirectOrates in
Some Larger Banks

NEW YORK, Jan. 1l.--Resignations OF
many prominent bankers from director
ates from leading national banks all
over the country are expected in the
annual bank elections today. The
changes will be made to anticipate the
prohibition against interlocking director
ates contained in the Clayton law. The
law went into effect October -. 1914,
but, TO allow the banks more time to
readjust the personnel of their manage
ment, two years were allowed for the
elimination of directors serving more
than one bank. The effect OF today's
elections Is expected 70 be TO elimlnste
much OF the banking talent from the
boards OF many large institutions. Many
Wall street banks are understood to
have several representatives of other
institutions on their directorates.
The Clayton act specifies that no per-
son shall at the same time he a director
OF more than one bank organized or op-
Grating under the laws OF the United
States. either Of which has deposits,
capital. surplus and undivided profits ag-
gregating more than 100000"
