CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Corn prices hardened today owing more or less to the fact that cold weather throughout the west was expected to continue for several days and that railroad opera tions would be interfered with. The market closed firm, F to 5sc net high CT with January s1.263s to S1.265 and May $1.25% to $1.25. Oats gained IS to 1Ssc. In provisions the outcome ranged from BOG decline to raise of cents.
 Although trade in corn was entirely of a holiday character. buyers had a little advantage from the outset. Of ferings were scarce, and rural notices of consignments lacked bulk. Prevail ent low temperatures seemd to be | largely responsible, as the car supply showed but little improvement. Any decided upward swing in values, how ever. was checked by knowledge that the general cold and absence of mois- ture could not escape having a favor able effect toward curing the new crop.
 Oats touched the highest prices yet this season. Impetus for the upturn came chiefly from signs of a revival of seaboard shipping demand.
 Free selling by western holders more than offset in the provision market a show of strength due to falling off ir arrivals of hogs. Sales were ascribed in the main to desire to realize profits.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26-(Wall street. Rails led the post holiday recession on the stock exchange, a score of those issues declining to points with yet lower records for St. Paul preferred at 6219 and Baltimore and Ohio preferred and common at ASIA and 3SA respect lively.
 The fresh reaction was popularly associated with indications that the ad- .ninistration is soon to announce its policy of railroad control, congress to share in the responsibility.
 An illustration of the caution with which transportation companies are proceeding was furnished by the Della ware and Hudson directors. A regular dividend was declared for the first quarter of 1918 instead of ordering payments for the full year, as was long the custom.
 Industrials suffered almost as much as rails. deriving their impuse from sporadic liquidation of equipments For this no explanation was vouch- safed other than possible further re- vision of prices by the war board.
 Trading lapsed after the first hour the market coming to a standstill IT the intermediate and later periods, eX- cept for a weakening of utilities. Lead CTS made nominal rallies just before the close, chiefly Reading and Unior Pacific United States Steel showing { net loss of 2 points at S3lz. Sale! amounted to 15,000 shares.

 WRITES IN FRANCE

MESA, Dec. 27.-RelativeS of H. B. Griffin, formerly manager of the south side department of The Republican, but now with the Second Regiment United
 States Engineers in France, received most welcome latter from him on
 Christmas day. The epistle was de-
 signated his Christmas letter" and
 sure enough it came on the date indi- cated.
 Griffin writes most interesting of eX periences in France, notwithstanding the fact that his company at present is
 engaged in very prosaic work, viz. quarrying rock for military roads. He states that the company has been sep arated in various departments of the work, but that they were allowed to come together on Thanksgiving day and had the same promise for Christ
 mas Though the letter did not give | the writer's location, yet it contained l the information, that a three day fur | tough did not give him time to get to | Paris and back allowing for any stay | in the city, hence it may be inferred | that he is well toward the front. Grif- | fin writes that for the first two months
 his feet were wet all the time. Though | lately the company has been provided | with boots, but that he had been il perfect health all the time. There was
 no word of grumbling or complaint il | the miSSive.

 We believe that you are unable to | comprehend how much such favor is appreciated by men in the United States army, so far away from home and loved ones, and all the comforts and table delicacies that we were ac- customed to, but if this will in any way express our thanks to you, this is our desire.
 Many of the men here in the regi- ment have been the recipients of simi- lar packags from their friends, but, be- | lleVe us. we are not attempting to de- | liver platitudes when we say that yours is easily the most palatable we have yet, either individually or col lectively, had the good fortune to 1 sample
 Furthermore, let us assure you that Il through the kindness of the direct re- clpient of this cake we have all been able 10 judge as to the fine art of your baking, and so through this kind ness we are so highly pleased at the sweet greetings of our friends, that it makes us long for the continued friendship of sweet ladies who treat us so kindly.
 In closing, we wish to extend to you our hearty and sincere wishes for . Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
