GRAIN GOSSIP

Chicago, September 27.-The provt- sion situation encourages corn bulls An insistent demand for every pound of meat in prospect is claimed by some. Demand from army and allies suggests no relief. Stories from the yards is that the situation Is one of incessant meat demand--pork, lard and ribs Rise of January pork to nearly $50 represents a new price era. Ques- tion is. will the hogs and provisions advance new corn? Locals maintain their corn opinions and the market for some days was a tight affair with very small dips.
 Herald prints article that consensus of opinion among the grain men at Buffalo convention Is against removal of maximum. It says the spectators in corn at Chicago, St. Louis, Omaha, Kansas City and all the representa- from Kansas City. At Buffalo con- vention Barnes advised the taking out of elevator licenses in sections where no wheat Is handled. Some of grain men think this suggests the United States may also handle corn. This story, however. lacks a sound basis.
 A big discussion is evidently brew ing as to the 1918 maximum. Mean while, the provisions attain the po- sition of serious living cost prob lem. Unless provisions again advance the new maximum talk Is more fla vorable to a two-sided corn market Wagner
 Locals bought corn on opening. Pro- fessionals sold.-Babcock.
 Mincer buying corn.-Wagner.
 Chicago-Locals buying corn Babcock.
 Lamson Brothers.-country holders roa xryft tc and unless the corn crop Is seriously hurt soon the volume of receipts is likely to increase very materially.

Suspicious Steel Springs
 Found Packed in Matches

Minneapolis, September 27-w. F. Kennedy. proprietor of cigar store today called the attention of federal agents to supply of matches, manu- factured in Sweden and purchased by Kennedy through a local wholesale house. which contained scores of small steel springs. Many boxes held two or the springs and contained only a few matches, Kennedy declared.
 It was said the authorities would try to determine whether the consignment had been intended for some point in Eu- rope Instead of the United States.

The near approach of the hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico caused brokers to even up their trades great deal Thursday because of the fear of pros tration of wire service and inability to reach out-of-town customers with margin calls. A fall in temperature came late in the afternoon in the east ern belt and ram ser Tn. A cold wave will follow the rain as usual and as the tropical storm is reported to be of great intensity it undoubtedly will do much damage to cotton, as high winds are predicted
 With white meat at 32c and the Likelihood that planters will find 1t cheaper to feed their help on porter house steaks I can see very little pros pect for lower prices. It all rests with the planter himself by careful marketing to maintain prices.

Hutton's Stock Letter

It is the same market. whenever it gets really weak everyone goes short and as soon as they cover the mar ket gets dull and sags off again. St. Paul preferred made new low selling below par. Someone has been selling this stock all the market would take for many months
 Bethlehem Steel has been one of the steady features and for the time being the liquidation looks to be over. Marine stocks look to be bought. Gen eral motors is tipped over the street for rise. Liberty bonds made new high price. Rich men have been sell ing their rails and buying this issue, which Is very attractive. For those with a large income who do not want to take chance on taxation and fluc- tuations. There Is less peace talk and feeling or relief that price fixing is largely settled. Washington advices are that there is sure to be an ad- vance in price of bituminous coal.

Shepard & Gluck's Letter
(By Campbell's. Wire.)

(By CampbelIS. W1re.)
 The cotton market was sustained by the slow approach of a hurricane to the cotton region, latest advices from the weather bureau stating. that the disturbance was near the mouth of the Mississippi river. The indications are that the storm will break. with high tides and hurricane winds, during the night. Should 1t strike the coast at New Orleans or it's vicinity, its subse- quent course will probably be north : east through the cotton belt, hurricanes almost invariably curving to the east once they strike the mainland. Great crop damage can hardly fail to re- suit
 Aside from the hurricane. weather conditions are unfavorable. Rains are forecast for the eastern belt and colder weather, with frosts, for the extreme northwest portion. The first cold snap of the season is on the heels of stormy weather. which the belt is now experi- lencing.
 There is no forecasting the condi- tions of next day or two. Wire service may be crippled and the market may be unable to discount conditions as they are, owing to the inability of brokers to reach their customers. We strong ly advise our friends to keep off the short side as further crop damage ap- pears to be in sight.

The market ruled quiet today with the trade still at sea as to the marked movement of prices. The storm in the gulf has not yet reached the coast. adding to the uncertainty of the mar ket. It was thought that large line of Japanese holdings were sold yes- terday, while the western buyers turned sellers today on the advance. The crop condition, 62.5. issued by Chicago house, was not bullish. On the whole the market has lapsed into waiting one before the bureau re- port.

Stand by the Striking Street Car Men

Seattle's community pride and eco
nomic health are involved.
For years, the traction company, hold
ing an iron rod over its men, has condemned
them to starvation wages.
The issue is whether this is to be known
as a cheap, ''ham sandwich" town, or
whether it is going to be a city of American
standards of living.
MO one is going to be fooled by the
~ traction company advertisement that
Seattle walks because seven Tacoma men
lost their jobs"
Seattle walks and smies-and knows
mighty well why it is walking.
Just as the United States could no
longer tolerate existing world conditions,
and no longer overlook injustice and op-
preston, so Seattle must take lis stand for
industrial righteousness.
If the men who live in Seattle have
to subsist on miserable, starvation
wages; if they are obliged to work many
hours day and night-then Seattle be-
comes un-American and decadent.
For Seattle can be no better than its
people.
