Notwithstanding big, corr yield this
season had much to do today with
sharp declines in prices Of corn and

down, oats unchanged to 6-8 higher
and provisions of s to Is cents.
General PUSHES to sell on the part
of both longs and shorts brought down

ness on the bear side was accomp-
anied by widespread assertions that
with q continuance of existing favor
able weather conditions the 1917 o r
crop would surpass all previous known
totals.
Wheat showed q little more activity
than has been the rule Of late. but
the amount was puny alongside the
huge volume Of business In corn.
Foreigners appeared to be the chief
sellers of July wheat. There was de-
cided optimism here. concerning the
outlook for the growing domestic
crop. Indications pointed to good
export demand for bats.
Provisions fell with hogs and corn.

BROTHERS RECEIVE
CONTIGUOUS DRAFT
NUMBERS IN CALL,

A study of the draft order lists
posted at the offices Of the several
exemption boards develops some I'M
usual circumstances and some inter-
esting ones as WE'LL At the fourth dis
trtct office today the list shows that
j. A. Troy, a clerk at the Remington
Arms and William T. Troy, an archi-
tectural craftsman of New York,
brothers residing at 1895 Noble ave-
nue., will appear before the physical
examiners at the same time.
J. A.. Troy's red ink number 2794
was the 1119th number on the mas
ter list fitting the fourth division and
his brothers numbers 2790 happen
ed to be the next. making the latter's
order number 1120. Both are single
and neither claimed exemption. If
they pass the physical examination
they will take places side by side in
the national army.
Three brothers in one family have
been drawn. in the first contingent.
One is in government service and
the other two are liable to draft. The
fourth district man who has order
number 762 resides at 855 Kossuth
street and the next man in order, 763
resides at S57 Kossuth street. These
facts show how the draft hit people
in the same family, on the same
street, etc.
