Chicago, Dec. 17.-Oats market
shows tendency toward ease. but To-
Gals are slow to take the selling side
of corn. Some talk here that there
may be another bulge in corn and oats
but sales should be made. as export
demand will remain inactive all week
Kansas City and Omaha reports ind.-
cate no southwest corn demand Of con-
sequence. Peculiar cash oats situation
at Chicago helped by the embargo, may
produce very liberal deliveries on De-
cember oats contracts during the
present week. Western cash corn gen.
orally to Is cents lower; cash oats
about Il cent lower. Country reports
show an increased desire by farmers
to sell oats. No definite car news but
some increase in receipts must now be
expected, as the severe weather ap-
pears to be over for the present.

203 Masonic Temple; Phone 1881
Chicago, Dec. 1T.-Corn-Without any
increase in public interest corn eased
off with oats and on account Of large
receipts. Cash corn worked lower. the
lowest quotations on the crop being
made on certain grades. Local stocks
showed small increase for the week
The demand for the cash article came
mostly from industries, altho one or
two warehouse interests were buyers
Of grades suitable for drying.
Oats-Oats were easier, both in the
futures and sample markets. Elevator
interests were the best buyers of the
spot article, and they, delivering them
on contracts at what appears like
sacrifice, because it is certain that un-
der present embargo restrictions, it will
be impossible to ship the grain out
Consignment notices are increasing
somewhat, and for the first time there
is evidence that the increased allot-
ments Of cars is having some effect.
Stocks-The usual early morning rail-
ly in stocks faded and a resumption
Of the downward tendency occurred,
as has been the case for weeks. Lack
Of support rather than heavy pressure
has been responsible for the decline.
Every possible effort seems to be put
forth to discourage this country in re-
gard to the war outlook and it seems
highly probable that much Of this news
is made to order and colored for the
purpose Of handicapping our initial en-
try into a state Of beIligerency.

DROP
IN MEAT PRICES

A decline in the price OF preserved
meats, hams, .bacons and the like
within six months Is predicted by
Clyde D. Evans, manager Of the local
branch of the Armour company. The
Wholesale price Of ham has gone down
u cent within the last few days and
although this reduction win have little
effect upon the retail price It lie an
indication of the movement in the
prices Of these foods, he says.
81 am pretty sure that there will
be no increase In the price Of hams
and bacon during the rest Of the year.
provided nothing unexpected hap
pens" said Mr. Evans in. commenting
upon the present meat situation.
There will probably be continued
decline In the prices Of meats In this
period. ~
"Since the beginning Of the war
preserved meats have not risen In
price like tomatoes, corn and peas,
for instance. These vegetables have
almost doubled in price in the last
year, while meats have gone up only
about 10 per cent in price"
!, Il would urge the Hawaiian cattle
men to raise more animals, and the
ranchers to diversity their. crops as
far as possible declared Mr.. Evans
In commenting upon the present food
situation IN the islands. -.
s Although the price Of feed has
gone mp since the war began, there
has been corresponding rise n the
price of beef and other meats, which
has allowed the cattlemen their usual
profit There is no reason why they
should slaughter their cattle on &C.
count Of the rise in prices Of grain.
anthrax Ii the greatest menace to
the local meat market" said Mr..
Evans. However, they seem to have
this under control and this danger
ought soon to be eliminated.
! while our prices on preserved
meats are not at all affected by the
local beef market, It Is probable that
the reduction In the price Of smoked
meats means general reduction OF
meat prices and with q decline In
prices here"
The retail prices on hams and ba-
con at present are al follows: Celia
tin ham, 80 cents; Star ham. 80 cents;
Colonial ham, 80 cents; picnic ham,
Is cents; Shield bacon, 81 cents; Co.
lonial bacon, IS cents, and boned ham,
