CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Jan. 23-Peace talk and
lack of any foreign demand except
from Holland led to lower prices for
wheat today. The market closed heavy,
q to 2Ac net lower with May at
$1.S4A to sL84% and July at $1.52A.
Corn finished unchanged to a shade
lower, oats off Is to &c, and provisions
with gains of % to 81 cents.
Bearish sentiment regarding wheat
began to spread almost as soons as
business opened. Much notice was TAX
en- of assertions that President Will
sons speech apparently opened the
door anew to peace negotiations. At the
same time a decided absence of for
eign buying was evident.
Aggressive selling by houses with
eastern connections took place at the
close as the wheat market drew near
and as the effect of crop damage fears
seemed on the wane
Corn was relatively firm owing to
reports that rs per cent of the Argen-
tine crop has received irreparable
damage. Besides receipts of corn here
were meager, and rural offerings small.
oats reflected the downturns in wheat
Highest quotations of the season in
the hog market lifted provisions. Close:
Wheat-May, s1.S4% July, s1.52A.
Corn-May, s1O1%: July, 99A.
Oats-May. 5Sc; July, $3.50.

more attention was directed toward the

until long after the close of the session.
Bethlehem Steel meanwhile fluctuat-

latter quotation with a net loss of
point, while the preferred gained five
points. On the curb the new Bethlehem

The decision of the Bethlehem direc-

attaching to the new stock caused some
surprise.
Changes in other quarters of the list

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-It has been a
very feeble market and quite a disap-
pointment. The Hide and Leather

ton Of $3.50 for the six months, fell
flat

In the railroad list. New Haven is
heavy. The market is suffering more
from lack of interest than anything
else. The presidents speech is not
construed to have any particular sig

seems to have no special effect
When it is finished, there is no sup
port to the market and it says back to

Offerings from commission houses and
from local sources became freer on the
bulge, and when the bulls withdrew
their support, values declined about &c

Exports were 59,23S bales, and this
coupled with the fear of the spot mar
ket following the decline in futures
caused active covering movement by
shorts in the latter part of the session
who found contracts very scarce. The
action of todays market would indicate
that bearish features have been greatly
discounted and unless something UNI
forseen develops, we look for values tc

the big drop in prices of all sorts.
Mr.. CAN'T said "A manufacturing
plant that is running on half or two
thirds time is just like a man who
works only a part of his producing
time. Idle plants represent idle capt.
tai and are community handicaps
The warning countries have realized
this and have put both idle plants and
idle people 10 work wherever possible
Mr.. CAN'T cited the instance of two
manufacturers of the same product
One manufacturer found the cost of
the product to him was thirty cents
He was astonished to find his com
petiror was selling the same product
for tWenty-siX cents. An inventory
showed the first manufacturer was
charging off his expense as follows
Labor ten cents, materials eight cents
and overhead twelve cents. His plant
was running at less than half it's nor
NAL capacity. When it vas put in
operation up to it's full capacity the
overhead was reduced to five cents
and the cost of the product cut down
to twenty three cents.
Mr.. CAN'T said that a manufacturer
should De compelled to agree to run
his plant at full time refore being
permitted to build it If the particular
field does not justify a plant run on
full time there is no economic iustifi-

NARROWING EXPERIENCE

Glenn Mcclure and Ben Herman, en-
countered one of the most narrowing
experiences of their young lives Sat
urday afternoon. when they Were
marooned on an island in the Salt
river by the rapidly rising flood water
With their guns, fishing tackle and
other equipment, the boys went OUT
early Saturday morning to pass the
day, pitching camp along the rivers
edge about a mile east of town. A
few hours later the flood water, due
to the heavy rains of the few DAYS
before, began to rise and before the
boys were aware they were marooned
on a narrow strip of land with the
muddy river water running deep and
swift on both sides. 1t was a case
of move though for the water was
still rising. and abandoning their
guns and other equipment together
with their surplus clothing, they
struck into the water making their
way to the mainland with the aid of
floating logs. A return to the scene
the following day was made but the
flood had entirely covered the island
and guns and clothes Will no doubt
never be discovered,
