sions in Korea. One of our most ur-
gent needs is more physicians and
trained nurses who will minister to
the sick bodies of the Koreans and
thereby lead them to the great ply

Surely there are gifted and consecrat-
ed physicians and nurses among our
churches in the South who are will

reports as the criminal work of desper-

Russian people should know that these
activities are only additioRal manifes-

Chicago. May S.-Wheat-The ex-
recitation of a bullish government re-
port gave firm undertone to the wheat
market turnout the session. The re-
port, issued after the close, shows
record abandonment of u, 431, 900 acres,
or 316 per cent of the acreage sown.
BY raising the condition almost ten
points. as compared with April I, q
yield of see, 10000 bushels is estimated.
which is the smallest since the crop Of
1904. Spring blowing and seeding Is
larger than last year and also larger
than the ten year average The inten-
Eive work which is being done to raise
substitutes for wheat the boarding of
-four which has been taking place for
weeks and the price at which wheat is
selling discount in large measure the
bulls hcomplexio NOT the report.
Corn-Corn was hard to buy. May
readily advanced to new high levels on
the crop. There Is not enough In store
or moving to market to make any radi-
cal pressure. Available .stocks as re-
ported by Bradst-eets are only 7.639.000
bushels against q, S21 600 bushels at the
corresponding time last year.
Oats-May oats were bought by
shorts and cash houses, who sold the
deferred deliveries. Crop prospects, are
pery gratifying. The amount of hay
remaining on farms, estimated at H.
100000 tons, Is above the average.

Chicago. May s.-Fresh record-break-
ing upward swings took place TO-DAY
IN the wheat market. Belief that the
government report this afternoon
would suggest a relatively small crop
formed the chief bullash influence.
Trade was Of very small proportions
The opening, which ranged from the
same as yesterdays finish TO cents
higher, with May at 2.Ss and July at
oe6 to 2,2T, was followed by sharp
rise all around, carrying May 10 $50
q and July 70 2.S04.
Additional strength developed later
as result Of a scarcity OF offerings
and because Of continued scattered
buying on the part Of commission
houses. May assembled to IS, an over
night climb Of II cents. July MADE an
extreme jump Of about cents. Inc
close was unsettled, SA to Il cents net
higher, with May at S2.s7 and July at
1921 to S2.G2A.
Corn as we'll as wheat went to new
high record figures. Unreasonable coiu
weather tended to discourage sellers.
After opening unchanged to l cent
higher the market scored a moderate
general advance.
Subsequently further gains were
brought about owing to want OF sell
ing pressure. The close was nervous,
at / u to 3A cents net advance.
Oats.
Oats hardened in value with other
grain. Business lacked volume.
Provisions
Absence OF support weakened pro-
visions. A little bulge due 10 firmness
in the hog market failed to last.
