TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago. Jan. 2S.-WHEAT-Active buy
ing on the part of commission houses and
pit traders sent the wheat market upward
today despite some weakness at the start.
Announcement that the entire mercantile
marine of Great Britain had been taken
under government control in order to keep
down ocean freight rates seemed first to
indicate likelihood of enlarged shipments
fIom Argentina and Australia. but later
til view was placed that outlook promised
increased demand for exports from the
United States. Smallness of receipts north
west counted also in favor of the bulls
Opening prices which varied from &c de
cline to a shade advance, were followed
by substantial gain all around.
May opened $1.36A to S1.3I; July, Sl-261s
to S1.2IA.
Gossip that exporters were taking back
wheat from foreigners and were selling
futures led subsequently to a sharp set
back in prices. The close was heavy, kc
to 11sc net lower. with May S1.35A a LBS e
and July at S12634.
CORN-Corn showed notable strength
and touched Il new high price record for
the 1915 crop. Prospects of a good demand
from Europe was the chief basis for the
buying. which was much broader than
has recently been noted. After opening
Ac to sc higher. the market scored q
material further advance.
Rumors were current that a foreign gov
eminent had made a big purchase of corn
! An estimate that the Argentine eXportablt
surplus WAS only half as much veal
| ago was also a bullish influence The
| close was easy at 5sc to 1c net advance.
| OATS-Oats reflected the firmness o
other grain. Transactions, though, wer'
not large.
! PROFESSIONALISM prices ol hog,
| tended to harden the provision market
| Selling by packers. however. acted al
something of an offset.

OF Ashland, as d Republican nominee
for the supreme bench, did not ma

ISOLATION up to noon today. Not a
word had been received from the Ash

was generally believed by attorneys
that if Price meant business" word of
his determination to enter the race

then.
In fact, judicial politics hardly en-

and nothing further can be discovered
relative to the impending race that is

New Haven Contracts For
Many Electric Locomotives

What will be the largest contract
for electric locomotives ever placed,
is under negotiation now by the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road Company. 1t is expected to be
for 100 machines. They will cost on
an average about $4,000 each, so
that the total sum involved will be
$500, 900 in round figures. Any day
the contract is likely to be closed.
The business will go to the West
inehouse Electric and Manufacturing
Company as prime contractor. 1t will
make all the motors and electric parts
at its Pittsburgh plant and forward
them to the Baldwin Locomotive
Works, to which will be sublet the
other parts and the work of erecting
the locomotives.
With the extension of electrification
of its lines and the increase in both
freight and passenger traffic, the New
Haven requires additional motive
power. The additional electric loco
motives about to be ordered will be
designed (" run at high speed and also
to haul heavy loads.

.MAULFAR WIDOW
WINS ON APPEAL
Awarded Compensation After
Settlement of Important
Question Today

In an opinion rendered to-day by
Commissioner James W. Leech, the
State Workmens Compensation Board
holds that the widow of Noah Maulfair'
of this city, was entitled to compen-
sation for her husbands death while
he was delivering goods for his EN-,
ployer after store hours 1t is held
that he was in the course of his em-
ployment and actually engaged in the
furtherance of the business or affairs
of his employer" at the time he met
his death through being struck by an
automobile.
The case was one of the first brought
and a new hearing was held recent
ly. Referee +. x. Saylor awarded COM
pensation and an appeal was taken by
S. A Drummer, the employer, and the
question was raised whether Maulfair
was really looking after his employer 5
business in making a delivery after
hours or whether he was collecting a
bill.
The proceedings attracted much at
tention because of the principles in
NolVed in the case and Mr.. Brunner
was very active in securing an appeal.
The compensation awarded is s100 for
funeral expenses and 81 week for
500 weeks.
