Provisions lost to 20c.
 At first an absence of any pro- nounced selling pressure gave an up- ward slant to the corn market. Un- seasonable warm weather and predic- tions of showers tended to handicap the bears. as such condition formed an evident hindrance to improving the quality Of the new crop. Talk of per sistent war scarcity operated as fac tor in hardening values. Toward the end of the session more cheerful opin- ions seemed to take ground on traders. Gossip was current that re- ceiving houses had noted an increase of advance consignments.
 Oats trading appeared to be almost entirely local The bulk of .transac- tions consisted of changing holdings from December to May.

HUN PROPAGANDA IS
 RESPONSIBLE IN THE ARGENTINE FOR PEACE

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Nov. IT. '(By Associated Press Correspondenee) The propaganda in favor of neutral ity which has been conducted with the approval of the national govern ment during the last week and the ab- solute silence during the last few days of those factions which have been so strongly in favor of break with Ger many, appear to portend a radical re- adjustment in the internal politics of the Argentine republic.
 The present attitude of the govern ment has caused perplexity in view of President Irigoyen's statement last week that he would break off rela- tions with Germany if the two houses of congress voted in favor of such action. Both the senate and the cham Der of deputies voted in favor of such a break with Germany, but, instead of the promised diplomatic action, the government appears to have decided to remain neutral. In fact, the friends of the president have stated positively that the president will not break off relations as a result of the Luxburg incident because the government cen siders this incident satisfactorily closed
 within two days of the vote Of the chamber of deputies, there were evi- dences of great revival Of the neu- trality propaganda which had been absolutely crushed after WashiEgton's revelations of Luxburg's conduct while acting as German minister here. This propaganda appears to be fostered by close friends of the president. A great deal of surprise has been caused by the placing of the national ccat of arms over the entrance to the down town office of the neutrality organiza- tion. thus giving the office the appear ance of government bureau.
 There are now many evidences of a radical alignment of political parties into two groups. one pro-government and the anti-government, regardless of. other political sympathies.
