CHICAGO. August 11.-Signing OF
the food control bill by President
Wilson has brought sharply into notice
important grain price declines. which
during the last week have accompanied
the final stages of the enactment
Values this morning. as compared with
a week ago, were down 9la cents for
wheat. rs cents to 81. cents for corn.
and 1asala. to 2a2h for oats. On the
other hand. provisions rose - cents
to Sl.25.
1t was no surprise to many ob-
servers that wheat underwent the
greatest setback in value of any of the
cereals but apparently the. fact was
not realized in general until yesterday
that the minimum price of 81 in the
food control bill would not so into eff
feet until July /. 1918. and. therefore.
could have no direct sustaining IN
fuence on the market so far as this
years crop was concerned,

The depressing effect of existing I'M

they secretly distilled vodka and on the

The Germans Skillfully took advantage
of these conditions and flooded the Rus

Russian soldiers al the front do not carry
documents of identity. Formerly the re-
