GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. August 31.-Corn ad vanced in price today. the increase beginning with initial sales and con tinuing virtually without interrup ton during the session closing neal the top. Rapid absorption of offer ings was evident whenever recessions appeared and at times an oversold con dition was noted which forced shorts to cover their lines. Cash strength was an important feature and some traders regarded the government wheat announced today as of bullish influence. The close was strong to 27s cents higher, with December al 112 to 1121k and May 10S1a to 10S7s Oats showed strength with September leading and closed r to IS higher Provisions finished the day with mod crate gains.
 Trade in cash wheat was light and prices went through readjustment to the basis of the government figures which placed $2.2O a bushel as the price of No. l wheat with variations for other grades. all figures being at the Chicago terminal. Buying and selling of wheat will be in the hands of the local food administration to morrow. The new differentials fixed by the government committee or wheat did not meet the approval of the Chicago board of trade and the di rectors of the board protested against them on the ground that they were un. just and would work against Chicago and prevent grain from reaching this market
 Wheat traders generally held alooi from the market awaiting announce ment of the course to be pursued when the new prices go into effect tomor row
 The board of trade will adjourn to morrow at 11:30 a. RI. as a mark oi respect for the late J. C. F. Merrill secretary of the board. There will be no session Monday, September 3, La Dor Day.

NEW YORK, August 31-Liquida- tion was again heavy and prices re- ceded. A rather steadier tone pre- vailed in the afternoon as a conse- quence of rendering of moderate sup port and much scattered short cover ing. The situation has altered pre- cipitibly. The position of the stock market is somewhat improved and a fair sized short interest is outstand. ing but it does not look as though liquidation has fully run its course and while occasional rallies may be experienced, still it strikes us that the general trend of securities prices are still downward. It is not unlike ly that the price will be set on steel products within the course of a few days and we understand that the same is likely to prove to be a disappoint- ment to many.

The prospective 1918 crop in France

that of Italy to 5000 tons, and they
are therefore short $4,000 tons. The

therefore, In total, these three allied

Putting Pigs in the Parlor.

Referring to the proposed $4,000 hog barn for
the state fair grounds, Nebraska editor suggests
that Nebraska pigs must be kept in parlors, and
in doing so unconsciously, perhaps, emphasizes a
change in conditions that is little appreciated by
the people. The hog actually has become an
aristocrat and "parlor" exactly conveys the cor
rect notion so far as his surroundings are con-
cerned. City folks think of him as a roofing,
granting, walowing beast, a consumer Of swill
and rejected foods. The truth is just the oppo-
site. The hog has been elevated to an eminence
that astonishes even his owners. He is tenderly
cared for, daintily fed and lovingly watched
Many a Nebraska farmer would not trade his
hog barn for an equal space in the state house
at Lincoln. Few men and women are better
housed and many an expectant mother lacks the
jealous watchfulness bestowed upon the mamma
pig. A 2-year-old porker is worth $40 any day
at the Omaha yards, and good brood sow
will bring into the world from fifteen to twenty
of her young at time, and do it twice a year

Shackleton's Antarctic Battle

The efforts of Sir Ernest Shackleton to res
cue the members of his expedition left behind
in the Antarctic and the stole heroism of the
marooned men after the Aurora broke from its
moorings nearly two years ago have provided
one OF the most impressive chapters in the annals
Of exploration. Shackleton went $50 miles in an
open boat from Elephant island to South Georgia
TO get help, and made four attempts before he sue
ceeded in breaking through the ice barrier to res
cue his men from their imprisonment In six
months and half while on the mainland one of
his parties covered $500 miles in sledge journey
through tremendous winds and pitiless Billiards.
One man who had to be dashed to sledge in a
sleeping bag succumbed, another was left behind
at his own request and subsequently rescued, and
il it had not been for the efforts OF four starving
