sfoday@ Market Quotations
LIVERPOOL LIST
RESULTS IN DROP
Foreign Quotations Cause Weakness in
Prices of Chicago Market
Offerings Light.

chicago, Feb. 2,-Weakness deyel-
oped IN the wheat market today owing
largely to lower quotations at Liver
pool 1t was explained that larger
Australian and Argentine shipments
10 Europe were expected, and that a
Meet capable of loading 5000, 900 bush
els had been obtained for Australia
alone. Offerings here, however, were
small and the market accordingly raj
lied. Opening prices, which ranged
from shade to sole down, with May
at l'34 to 1.3424 and July at 1865 to
1858, were followed by an upturn to
above yesterdays finish.
Signs of little activity on the part
OF exporters led afterward to mod
crate advance, which nevertheless
failed to last. Free selling by local
traders forced a substantial sharp de-
cline. The close was steady, 1870
IA to 1B02c net lower, with May
at 1.33 and July at 1241a.
Favorable weather eased corn. Com
mission houses took the buying side,
though, when wheat showed a tend
ency to rally. After opening IS to 1sc
on, the corn market underwent some
additional decline before beginning to
recover.
Upturns were only temporary. The
market closed steady at B@1c to rs
Q1Ac net decline.
Oats moved with other cereals. The
volume Of trade was fairly large.
1t required only few buying orders
to lift provisions. There was no pres

at the window of his fair Juliet, the
woman he sought to wife. She is Ella
Schmidt and she lives with her father
on Slough road, west Of Schuetzen
park. 1t was bitter cold when Carl
appeared at the girls window and
burst forth with his stuff yesterday
morning. The girl, however, did not
respond to the poetic touch and re-
fused to come out. Her father also
was unmoved by the music. Get away
from there" they told Carl Pretty
soon he touched up the lutte again and
sang sweet love melodies to the girl.
Then the father became eXasperated.
He threw a shoe at the inspired Ro-
meo. But the lutist was determined.
He came back again and sang another
song. Then the father came out and
rolled him down the hill--off his prop
erty. When the would-be lover re-
turned the fourth time the police were
called and Carl was arrested. The

asked President Wilson here last night,
in advocating preparedness before one
of the largest audiences of his present
trip
why, to ask that question is to an
swer it." he said.
Whether international law is vio-
lated by one or another of the belliger-
ents," the president said, America was
called upon to register a voice of pro-
test, of insistence."
IF these breaches Of international
law" he continued, which are in daily
danger of occurring, should touch the
very honor of the United States-do
you wish to do nothing about it? Do
you wish to have all the world say that
the flag of the United States that we
have can be stained with impunity?
Why, to ask the question is to answer
it.
II know there is not man or
woman within the hearing of my voice
who would wish for peace at the ex-
pense of the honor of the United
States"
Applause Is Generous.
The presidents address was punctu-
ated with thunderous applause. He
spoke slowly and gravely, with en-
phatic gestures to enforce his words
His declaration that the United States
wanted peace drew quick response
and his assertion that the self-respect
of the nation must be preserved elicit
ed another great demonstration. A
throng of 5000 persons cheered him tt
| the echo.
The president declared he was try,
| ing to weigh carefully every word he
said. He reiterated that he had beer
daily charged to keep the country ou
Of war and also to uphold its honor.
"And many a night, when it has
seemed impossible for me to sleep,

extricable difficulties into which oul

people of the United States fully know
what that mandate means to me- Ani
then sleep has come, because knew
that there was not a community IL
America that would not stand behin(
me in maintaining the honor of thu
United States.
Keeping Peace Hard.
1.-THE difficulty of keeping America a
peace during this titanic struggl
across the sea cannot be disclosed
now; perhaps it never can be disclos
ed. How anxious and how difficult thi
task has been! But my heart has beel
in it. 1 have not grudged single bur
den that has been placed upon me witt
that end in view. For know that no
only my own heart but the heart of al
America was in the cause Of peace"
There are actually men in Americ
who are preaching war, the presiden
declared; men who want the Unite
States to have entangling alliance
abroad. He said he did not think the,
spoke the voice of America, which h
declared to be for peace.
