Here's a new idea-a WHOLE
SOME idea-something you've
often wanted but never found.
Here's a film full of children,
brim full of beauty, packed full
of action, charged with the cleo
trio thrills of fairyland, with an
old, old story told in a new, new
way. It's "CINDRELLA AND
THE MAGIC SLIPPER" with
all the magic that the children
love. You'll like it as well as the
youngsters.

Grain Review

Chicago. Jan. IL Considerable
strength developed in the wheat mar :
ket today after some show OF heavinees
at the outset Much of the buying was
apparently based on the absence of an!
confirmatio Of yesterdays bearish ru'
mors about peace and submarines.
Commission houses were the chief pur-
chasers. Opening quotations, which
ranged from NC of to sc advance,
with May at $1.s21s to $1.s3h and July
at $1.4sA to $1.47A were followed by
substantial gains all around. and then
something of reaction.
Subsequently Wall Street weakness
and news of the sinking of the British
warship CORVALLIS made values dip
but afterward large clearances at the
seaboard and bullish anticipations as to
the reply Of the entente allies brought
about a sharp upturn. The close was
strong, &c to &c net higher. with May at
$lS7A to 1851. and July at s151 to
$1.51ls.
Corn rose mainly as result of con-
tinued damage reports from Argentina.
Colder weather tended also to help the
bulls. After opening u to &c higher,
the market reacted little. but later
scored a decided fresh advance.
Scarcity of rural offerings acted as a
handicap on the bears. The close was
strong at Ia to sc net advance.
Oats hardened with other grain De-
mand however. was only OF scattered
sort
Absence Of support led to declines in

Another meeting Of the league will
be called later in the winter by Pres
