against the curb on Tenth street and
allowed to blockade much of the

MANY PUPILS
HAVE MEASLES
DO NOT REGARD CONDITION AS
ALARMING - SCHOOLS CLOSE
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

Al unusual number Of cases OF
measles and several Of chickenpox have
been reported among the pupils Of the
various schools Of the city. Sixteen
pupils Of one room were sent home
with measles Monday. and number
Of cases have been reported since.
Some question has arisen as to the
advisability of allowing children from
homes where measles are reported to
continue their school work. Superin-
tendent of Schools Blackmar con-
ferred yesterday with the state health
officer in regard to this matter and
was advised that no danger Of con-
tagion existed where the children ex-
posed to the germ had previously had
the measles, as the germ is very short
lived and is seldom carried from one
person to another by third person.
Only those members Of the families
where a member is Ill with measles,
who have not had the measles will be
kept home from school.
City schools will observe the
Thanksgiving with holiday extend
ing from this evening until Monday
morning.

GRAIN REVIEW

chicago. Nov. 2S.-Corn prices weak
ened today. influenced by prospects
that enlarged receipts would result
from government orders giving prece-
dence to railway shipments of cereals.
Selling however was not aggressive
and it did not take much demand to
bring about rally. Trading seemed to
be almost entirely local. Opening prices
which ranged from the same as yester-
days finish to sc lower with January
$1.20A to $1.2OA and May $1.1S to
$11sh were followed by a moderate
general upturn.
The present smallness of receipts Of
corn and the increased strength Of oats
led afterward to something of an adj
vance in the corn market. Prices closed
unsettled, January $1.2o7s to $121 and
May 31.1s% to $1.19 9TH the final
range as whole ~ ~ to nc up,
compared with yesterI, finish.
Oats duplicated the action Of corn.
Sentiment on the whole appeared to
be>more bearish than has recently been
the case.
Big contracts for federal use lifted
provisions. The market also felt the
effect of advancing prices at Liverpool.
