CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat Opens Irregular and Lower on More
Runners Of Peace Negotiations.

Chicago, Jan, 5.---Dread of extensive re-
selling by foreigners In the event OF actual
peace did good deal today to bring about
declines In the value OF wheat. Closing
prices were unsettled, IN to az net lower.
with May at S1.s0& to S1s1. and July H,S
to S1.48h. Corn finished off to non
up, oats showing a setback Of NC to lie and
provisions advanced 22c to &C.
Bears dominated the wheat pit from the
start. Notwithstanding the evident urgency
Of foreign demand for supplies, the Iikii-
hood OF new move for peace parley was
receiving too general notice to allow specula-
tive buyers a chance to develop enthusiasm
On the contrary, attention turned more and
more TO possibilities which might ensue In
case predicted fresh efforts f6r~a stoppage
OF the war should meet with some degree Of
success. In this connection, gossip that for
eign interests already had acquired owner
ship Of the greater part OF the surplus stock
In the United States led to much nervous
ness on the bull side, so much so that at one
time prices dropped to nearly five cents un-
der yesterdays latest figures
Something OF recovery took place In
wheat prices during the last part of the
session. but not enough to disturb TO q SER
ious extent, bearish control of the market
What rally there was seemed to be based
chiefly on signs OF fresh export purchasing
which in q measure served to remove mis-
givings about chances that contingent whole
sale unloading by Europeans would yet sud-
denly overwhelm the trade. After the close
the fresh export business was figured as
having amounted to 100000 bushels,
Corn showed stubborn resistance to selling
pressure and at times made considerable up
turns In the face Of the weakness In wheat.
Export demand for corn was In evidence
and the bulls made much OF the fact that
the British government had Communicated
all the supplies OF corn in the United King
dom. Oats, unlike corn, reflected the
wheat declines. Salea Of $4,000 bushels Of
oats to exporters acted only as an offset In
part
Peace optimism helped to lift the pro-
vision market Investors were said to nave
done a moderate share Of buying.

Sheep--Fat lambs were little more ac-
tive than they have been the last couple
OF days. Sellers made another attempt
10 boost prices little. but while packers
offered yesterdays prices from the outset
they would not raise their bids. and what
finally developed was just good steady
market. with no advance quotable any
where. Several loads OF good fed westerns
reached s13.25, equaling yesterdays top on
that class, with bulk of the decent offer
ings upwards from $500. No clippers were
offered.
Ewes also brought good steady prices
The 1915 top which has been In force nearly
all week was paid for the best here. and
others reached ss.35. Feeder offerings were
iuconsequential.

Hogs-For Friday the hog run was just
decent, receipts being estimated at 1876
loads, or 10000 head. Free shipper buying
again today resulted In prices being pushed
up to the Highest levels touched since Sep
tember or the best ever seen during the
month Of January. Compared with the
size Of supplies order buyers purchases were
the. largest In long time. their buy
amounting to about third OF the entire
offerings. They paid prices that were
largely from q dime TO zoe higher than
yesterday. though some Individual loads
were called AZ much as Csc higher
Packers did not follow the shipper lead
as readily as they did yesterday and while
they bought most Of their hogs at prices
that averaged around 1bo higher the un.
dcrtone was noticeably slow. the less de.
sirsbie kinda being much harder to move
than on Thursday.
The finish was dragsy = sprinkling Of
light and plain mixed hogs that were left
IRON earlier rounds giving sellers good
deal OF grief while some good hogs that
came In on the extreme close were slow at
tho morning advance. General market was
however around l5c higher, . spread Of $500
9fo.ae catching most Of the sales, with
tops a high ~ 1000. As noted above. these
prices are the highest ever paid In January.

Omaha Futures Market.
The seaboard reported an excellent bust
ness In export wheat and corn and about
| 100000 bushels of wheat from the local
market were sold to brokers at Baltimore.
Today's wheat market. however, was a
trlne bearish on account OF the reaction
resulting from the strong advance Of the
last few days.
Corn opened about Nc lower, and during
the early hours followed the decline In
wheat, but the strong cash situation was a
bullish factor and the corn market re-
gained most Of the early loss and closed
firm.
The oats market was without interesting
feature and broke Nc in sympathy with
wheat.

Road Commissioner Holds
Important Meeting With
Contractors.
TANGLEN CONSTRUCTION
Agreement As to Roads and
Test Suit To Be
Brought.
TANGLEN CONSTRUCTION

The road commissioners were ir
session practically all day yesterday
trying to straighten ont financia
tangle with the contractors, Mont
gomery, Perkins Co., for building the
various roads under construction in
the county. The estimates Of mater
ials and labor needed on the various
roads were nearly all too low and as
a result the appropriations for some
Of the roads have already run out or
it is evident will run out before the
mileage contracted for is completed.
The contractors claim that the prices
at which they are doing the work are
too low and they want to either stop
when the appropriations are expend-
ed, or be paid higher rate for the
excess.
State Commissioner Wiley has been
in consultation and County Attorney
Smith, who went to Frankfort to con-
fer with, Attorney General Morris,
returned and made his report at the
morning session, as result of which
at the afternoon session a resolution
was adopted whereby the Montgome-
ry-Perkins Co., agreed to complete
the Dover road to station SIS and fin
ish the work contracted for on the
Princeton road at the contract price
and the Commissioners agreed to con-
slider neutrality-suspicious. Co.,
through with these two roads. The
Dover road from station SIS on will
be recovered and placed in travelling
shape by the commissioners, not the
contractors. The controversy as TO
whether or not the county can hold
the contractors beyond their bond will
be settled by suit of equity filed and
tried at the September term of circuit
court and settled at once in the court
of appeals by special arrangement
with the Attorney General.

and calling on construction workers
to lay down their tools have been is
sued.
Lumber workers in the four states
are already on strike" Rowan said
while he was awaiting his turn to be

List Of 40 Who Have Not
Claimed Exemption In
First 800.
ExEM. BOARD in SESSION
Man Who Doesn't Claim Ex-
emption Will Await His
Regular Turn.

The local exemption board has been
hard at work with the claims of ex-
emption filed by many Of those who
were examined for service in the
draft army. OF the first 300 called,
some $50 claimed exemption with the
local board. These claims will be
passed on by the board and from these
first 300 will be obtained Christian
county's quota for the army il posi-.
BILE. Out of the 300 the 49 listed be-
meath did not claim exemption with
the local board, but many Of these
will no doubt do so on grounds of oc-
cupation with the district board which
meets at Dawson Springs in the near
future. The way the exemptions will
be passed on is as follows:
The first man drawn, if he claims
exemption, files exemption affidavits
setting forth his reasons or claims.
The board passes on these and if they
think he has Just ground for exemp-
ton he is discharged and the claim of
the second man Is brought up. When
ever they come to man who does not
claim exemption he is automatically
passed on as accepted for the army.
In this way every man win be treated
fairly and squarely. II was thought
by some that those who claimed no
exemption would be taken first, but
this is not the case. Every man must
come in turn and those whose claim
for exemption Is not good will have TO
serve along with. those who made no
claim. =
y The following are those Of the 48
pf the first 300 whose names are be-
ing forwarded to the district board as
claiming no exemption.

the preliminary hearing here tomor-
row before United States Commits.
sioner Frank Cunningham of the men
arrested in Webster county for firing
upon soldiers guarding the Black
Diamond mines, near Clay, and who
were brought here last "Wednesday
night. Luke Teagne, ofMadisonville,
will represent the prisoners. Mr..
league is the regularly employed at
torney for the miners union in this
part of the state.
Already it is evident that the hear
ing will have to be held elsewhere
than in Commissioner Cunningham
Office as is usually done. This will
be on account Of the crowd expected
in attendance. There are ten defend
ants to begin with, and a large num-
Der of Witnesses have been summoned
for each side. In addition, it is ex-
pected that many interested persons,
especially from the coal field sections,
will be in attendance. 1t is therefore
probable that the hearing will be held
in the circuit court room so as to ac-
commodate everybody.
