TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Nov 3O-CORN-Unfavora BILE
weather conditions gave a little strength
today to the corn market The fact, how
ever, that empty cars in liberal numbers
were being supplied to western railroads
led afterward to a reaction. Trade was
almost entirely of local character Open
ing prices. which ranged from &c off to &c
advance with January $1.21 to S1.21A and
May $1.1S% to $1.19, were followed by
slight general gains, ard then moderate
downturn
subsequently, slowness of shipping de-
mand together with the fact that stocks
have begun to accumulate brought about
a further sag in values The close was
weak. &c to 11sc net lower, with January
81. POS and May $1.1s1s to $L1SA.
OATS-Larger receipts weakened the oats
market after some firmness at the outset
Betterment of the car situation attracted
much notice.
PROVISIONS-Provis gave way ow-
ing to declines in the value of hogs De-
pressions was chiefly in large volume
Liquidating sales of lard disclosed that
the market was without support, and there
were consequent rapid drops in prices.

Won STEIN HOLDS
NO FEAR OF PART
AMERICA WILL PLAY
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, March 26.-The possibil-
ity of American participation in the
war on the side of the allies was dis
missed as minor matter by General
Won Stein, Prussian minister of war,
in an interview with the Berlin cores
pendent of the Budapest newspaper
A. Zest, according to Berlin dispatch
to Reuters by way of Amsterdam.
General Won Stein said he did not
know whether the American fleet
would support the British feet but
that there could be no question of an
American continental army in the
near future. He adds: Our military
situation on all fronts is good and JUS
tifies our best hopes.
/. at appears that the enemy is pre-
pairing an offensive but we shall re-
sist even a stronger attack, not only
in the front but also at home. What
may happen then We do not know, but
come what may, we shall confront
everything imperturbantly.
"Our sufferings are great and our
sacrifices gigantic but it is just in
these things that the greatness Of a
nation finds it's expression
In discussing the battle OF the
Somme, the minister said that the
Germans had no lack Of supplies but
that their guns as compared with
those Of the enemy were insufficient.

L
PARIS, March 26.-The battle Of St.
Quentin continues to rage with una
bated fury. The honors of the last "a
hours fighting have been with the
French who are pushing forward
steadily, taking all precautions that
the nature Of the operation calls for
and in the face Of desperate resistance
by the Germans. The advance is nee
essarily slow owing to the character
of the ground.
St. Quentin is protected on the
northwest by the Omignon river,
which although only brook like most
of the Somme tributaries, runs through
a broad valley full OF swamps and
clumps Of trees which greatly increas-
es its defensive value. To the west the
approaches to the city are over bare
fiat plain devoid of any natural OBJ
stacle and with but few villages. Here
the French advance is naturally most
rapid but the plain narrows and ends
in a sharp point at st. Quentin. At
Savy, the most favorable point, the
Germans have built their main defens-
i've line.
Make Little Gain in Center
The German right runs from the
Omignon river at Vermand to the Hol-
non wood and their center is at Savy
Against these two sections the French
have so far made little Roadway but
on the German left they have carried
the strong key position on the plat
eaux of Essigny and Benay. This sec
ton extending from the Somme north
deul, runs through a gently unrolling

PETROGRAD, Via London, March
16.-The news that Field Marshal

at the capitol with surprisingly little
CONSERVATION, evoking rather a spirit
Of calm and unsuitable confidence in
the loyalty OF the troops and the abil-
ity of the army to protect the city
from the new danger.
II German calculations are based
upon the supposed decentralization OF
the soldiery or more than transient
detection of the troops at the front
from their discipline and loyalty to
their commander, these calculations
are plainly in error.

It is undeniable that during the first

southeast by similar embinence near

claim, would force the whole German
wing back on the Disc, expose ST.
Quentin to the south and imperil the
rest Of the line as far as the Omignon.
1t is considered certain therefore, that
the Germans will make determined ef-
forts to retrieve their failure here.

RAILWAY EARNINGS
DON'T keep PACE
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Railway
earnings have not increased with the
average rise in commodity prices dur
ing twenty years and railroad credit is
not good because they cannot sell
bonds with interest rates as high as
states and municipalities, Julius
Kruttschmitt, chairman of the South
ern Pacific company board told today
the Newlands investigating committee.
If railroad rates had increased in
proportion to commodity prices in
1915, he said. the additional cost to
the public would have been $1.654, 0OG,-
