This latter com- mittee is divided into sections, which attend from 25 to. 30 picture reviews weekly. In 1916 members of this commit tee reviewed 11S6 meetings and reviewed 9550 reels of film. The general commit tee is a court of appeal for any pictures which may be held for further considera- ton. It was formed in 1909 and has all ways been gladly recognized by the manu- facturers, exhibitors and producers. Last year 1t caused to be eliminated 46,990 feet Of objectionable films.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago. July 1O,-Assertions that the German chancellor said peace was far dis tant had much to do with a general ad- of grain and provisions. Net gains were: Corn, 21sc to 42sc; wheat, 1zc to 1c; oats, Mc to %, and provisions. 17c to 5oc.
 Although the corn market developed considerable strength before word was re- ceived of the purported declaration by the German spokesman prices began to soar in earnest after bulletins were cir oulated quoting him as strenuously In favor of continued fighting. Reports of the militant speech referred to were promptly followed by jump in the De- cember option to new high price record for the season. Despite liberal sales to realize profits the market finished at the topmost point reached. Unwelcome dry, hot weather in the southwest tended materially to handicap bears.
 Virtual exhaustion of the contract stock of oats here gave some independent strength to the oats marker
 Wheat reflected the upward movement of other grains. Later, however, some thing of g. setback was witnessed that seemed to be due to reports of strenuous opposition to sundry features of the food control bill in the Senate. News of the smoothing of the way for the measure did not arrive until after wheat trading was ended for the day.
 Provisions rose with corn. Lower quota tions on hogs had a depressing influ- ence at the outset, but not of lasting character.

IMPROVED TONE OF
 STOCK TRADING
Success of Allied Movement and War List Profits Im-
 portant Factors

New York, July 1o.-various develop nents contributed to the improved tone of today's broad and active market, ex- treme gains of to 3 points in numerous issues being fully retained at the close.
 The better crop outlook, as indicated by yesterdays crop estimates increasing recognition of benefits to the railroads from recent rate concession and further declines in time and call money were fac tors of more than passing importance
 Washington advices, which pointed to tan early solution of war taxes, profit problems and the continued success of the allies movement on the eastern war front also helped to stimulate specula- tive sentiment
 These favorable auguries were neu- tralized in a measure by unofficial re- ports of another federal bond issue in the near future and a reduction of over half million tons in unified orders of the United States Steel corporation for June. The latter exhibit occasioned no surprise as it was known that the Steel corporation long ago deemed 1t advisa- ble to reject outside business to meet the prospective, uemAnQS OL the 6oFeIHiAOit'

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, July 10.-Drouth condi- tions in the western belt were mainly re- sponsible for the rising tendency in cot ton on this market today. On moderate trading an advance of 40 to 50 points was made by the strongest months at their best. The gain was pared down somewhat toward the end by profit talk ings by satisfied longs and last prices showed a net advance for the session of A to Al points.
 Around the opening the market was IS to 21 points up. The weather map did not show needed rains in Texas and the forecast was for continued fair weather for the entire western belt. A more or less favorable construction was placed on political news. Immediately after the opening call liquidation and short selling were prompted by private predictions of rain for the west with the result that prices fell off sharply, land Ing to points under yesterdays close. Now buying sprang up at the decline and the market soon improved.
 The undertone was steady from the start because of reports of a good de- rnand in a quiet way in tho spot depart ment from Liverpool and southern mills, and, later from Japanese interests. Spot quotations were unchanged at 25.SSc for middling.
