SERVICES OF INTERPRETERS
NEEDED IN CITIES.
Practically all of the men who will
perform the duties Of registrars on
Tuesday in Virginia are volunteers.
This is particularly true of the cities.
while many counties have expended
considerable sums in advertising the
necessity for registration and in making
preparations for the enrolment. The
only real need however, may be in
Interpreters. Thousands Of foreigners
will apply for registration in the larger
cities, while many more arc scattered
through the State on farms. The mat
ter OF securing Interpreters in the
cities may not be difficult, but will
be an obstacle insurmountable in the
country regions.

points below the high level of Wednes-
day afternoon. That delivery closed at

Reactionary sentiment was IN evil
dence from the start. The opening was

active months selling 3S TO 81 points
under last nights close during the first

soon turned frmer on numerous crop

active and urgent than earlier IN the

Traders could find no cause Tor such
deterioration in recent weather advlces,

revived by the remarks OF u government

some extent on the rally during the

there seemed TO be little change IN the
bullish sentiment created by recent

was largely based on the extent OF re-

situation. Government agents are max

mills with wheat, but the movement
continues disappointing, and is run

Mills at big milling centres are getting
wheat. however, and the country mills
seem to be suffering the most. Reports
on the export movement are not forth

Corn.-The corn market developed

Commission houses sold quite heavily
At times, and sentiment was Influenced
by the reports of British victory in
Flanders. The technical position of
the market was looked upon as having
been weakened by the recent active
covering. and the trade again showed
disposition TO hesitate about following
the advance past the sl20 mark for
Chicago December. The weather was
again generally favorable for the crop.
Some further rains occurred. but the
outlook was for clearing and slightly
cooler conditions, which are now consid-
cred ideal for maturing the crop. The
question of changing the maximum
price is still "A disturbing element in
the market, and the opinion is becom-
ing more fixed that the chances are
slim Of any alteration being made. The
cash position continues unsettled. The
price of old cash corn il working IL
regularly lower and the price Of the
new crop is not yet established. Offers
for forward shipment have not been
heavy, and many believe that with the
consuming trade waiting anxiously for
new corn and the price of hogs above
d parity with prevailing quotations for
futures there is little probability of
much pressure on the market. This has
been responsible for the widening pre-
miums of the December position over
later months and has also served to
discourage aggressive short selling.
