GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Scarcity of offer
ings brought about an advance in the
corn market today. after q little sag at
the outset. Initial declines were ascrib-
ed to assurances that western roads
would receive more cars soon to move
supplies from the country. Unwelcome
rain and mild temperatures, however,
tended to make sellers cautious. Open
ing quotations which varied from the
same as yesterdays finish to Nc lower
were followed by material upturn all
around.
A moderate setback later proved to
be merely transient. Traders gave, chief
attention to the war news. Prices closed
unsettled, Nc to nc net higher, with
January $1.20h to 31.20A and Gay
Si.f7T.
Oats rose to new high level for the
season. Scantiness of arrivals appeared
to make shorts nervous. Liberal re-
ceipts Of hogs weakened the provision
market.

Cotton Sales Up to Today

Just before we go to press we ind that our cotton sales are far behind last year at this date. On September 2 last year Nichols < Hutson had purchased 408 bales and today their purchases were only 14 bales. N w. Young & Son on the.same day last year had bought 190 bales and today this year only 15 bales, which shows a lateness of the harvest of from two weeks to 30 days; however the price shows much higher, the top being 234c per pound. A year ago today the price was 154c making the staple Sc higher than a year ago.
 The Carlisle gin reports that they have ginned 41 bales up to today against BPS bales last year.
 So far this year the Carlisle gin has purchased only 21 tons of seed against 179 tons up to this date last year. The price of seed last year on this date was $43.00 per ton while today the seed are selling at S60 % per ton at the gin.

HOW TO OBSERVE FIRE PREVEN-
 TON DAY October g Will Be the Occasion Through ont Country for Measures Against
 Deadly Danger

Fire Prevention Day is ap- preaching.
 It will be observed in Arkan- sas and the rest of the country on Oct. g. The governor of Ar kansas will doubtless issue a proclamation calling upon the people of this state to enter into the spirit of the day, as has been the custom for a numb Der of years past.
 Fire Prevention day is not a holiday. While it is proper that school authorities see that exer cises are held to impress upon the pupils the important part that young people can play in the work of preventing fire, the older people can do we'll to celebrate the day very privately. For In stance:
 Rid the house, particularly the attic and closets of all infiamable material that the neighbors would likely call strash". Clean up the premises and inspect your stoves. fues, wiring and other sources of fire. This plan, says J. Smith Spreed. manager of the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau, in sures fitting observance of Fire Prevention Day.
