Grain Review

Chicago. March 27.-Wheat hardened
in value today, helped by contradiction
of reports that American lives had been
lost by the torpedoing of the Sussex
At first, however, the market showed
weakness as result of lower quota :
lions from Liverpool and because OF
further rains in the domestic winter
crop belt. Opening prices, which ranged
from " to 1a@hc lower, with May at
$1.07A to $1.0S and July at $1.e5A to
$1.06, were followed by an upturn to
well above Saturdays finish.
Subsequently, increasing fear OF a
reduction of acreage in Canada led to
an additional advance. Besides. the U.
S. visible supply total diminished and
a leading expert here issued state
ment that despite favorable weather
the prospect for the domestic winter
crop was not good. Prices closed firm,
h to INC net higher, with May at
$1.09M and July at $1.07fs
Corn rallied with wheat. Stormy
weather tended also to strengthen pri-
ces. After opening u to y a Nc down.
the market scored moderate gains.
Improved domestic shipping demand
was more or less responsible for a
further rise. The close was steady at "a
to M@%c net advance.
Oats were dominated by the action OF
other grain.
Higher prices on hogs carried pro-
visions upgrade.

SIOUX CITY PLANS
TO CUT EXPENSES

Sioux City, March 25.-The appor-
tionment ordinance which is in pro.
cess of enactment by the local city
council calls for wholesale slashes in
city outlay during the coming year.
The slashes are alleged to be the re-
suit OF the prohibitory law
The general fund is cut $4,000 and
other funds in less proportion. New
funds and increases in some others,
however. will make the net reduction
only about $4,000.
The situation is unique in that the
present city council, three members OF
which are not candidates in Mondays
election are providing less money fol-
expediture by the new council than
was allowed the one now In power.
