DAILY MARKET QUOTATIONS.
CORN MARKET GETS
SLIGHT PRICE BOOST

Chicago. Dec, 2s.--scarcity of offer
inRs brought about a moderate ad-
vance today in the corn market. Urg-
ent demand, however, was only of a
scattering sort The market was of a
decidedly holiday character. Opening
prices which varied from unchanged
figures 10 &c higher with Jan. 1925
and May l241s 0L24h were followed
by gradual gains all around.
The fact that cold weather was ex-
pected 20 continue for several days
and that railroad operations would be
hampered gave an advantage to the
bulls. Prices closed firm a to &c net
higher, January $1263s to $1.26h and
May SPAS 0l25.
Strength developed in oats on ac-
count OF general covering by shorts.
The impetus came from signs of a
revival Of shipping inquiry on the
part Of seaboard interests.
Higher quotations on hogs gave
frmness to provisions. Receipt Of
hogs we're less numerous than had
been expected.

Post says It has been suggested that
the letter alleged to have been sent
by Colonel Anderson, head of the mis-
sion, stating that the American am
bassador, David R. Francis, was
ready to advance 100000 rubles to the
account of the Red Cross. was forg-
cry. Such things are not uncommon
now. he adds.
The sane correspondent telegraphs
that the British ambassador, Sir
George Buchanan. published on Suu-
day q statement refuting the charge
of interference in the internal affairs
Of Prussia and adding that as there are
now three independent republics in
Russia it is difficult to avoid the ap-
pearance OF having relations win
one.
Trofzky "Peeved, Over Finland.
It is reported from Brest-Litovsk
by way of Petrugrad that Finland has
appealed to Germany to recognize its
independence and that the Germans
express their willingness to do SO.
Leon TrotzIy, the Bolsheyiki foreign
minister, is said to have shown his
irritation because the Films applied
1
to the Germans direct instead of
through the Bolsheviki representa-
tives.
A Stockholm dispatch. to the Post
tells of the arrival there of Finnish
delegation to ask Sweden's recogni-
ton of the independence of the Firms.
According to the same correspondent
anarchistic conditions prevail in parts
of Finland The Swedish consul "a
Helsingfors has sent an urgent appeal
| to his government to protect Swedes
at Abo. where there is reign OF ter
fror. Bandits are said to be running
Wild In Uleaborg and in various other

Litovsk, because the Germans were
not ready to reply TO the Russian
terms, the Russian delegates are re-
ported to be returning to Petrograd,
where apparently they are expected to
await the arrival Of the delegation
from the enemy powers which is to
participate in a conference for discus
sion of the political aspects of an
eventual peace conference. Various
explanations are offered in Petrograd
dispatches Of the purpose Of German
concentration Of troops in the south
west. One suggestion is that part of
these forces will be sent to Asia
Minor 1t is predicted large force
will be retained in the southwest to
assure possession of the valuable
Russian harvest.

reports the arrest and Imprisonment

Nussdorfer and William Nussdorfer.
Neile is suing for S25.OOO dam
ages for injuries he alleges he re-
ceived twenty years ago when he
lived with his parents in one Of

that on January IA. 1897, an iron
gate carelessly left leaning against

tured his skull and that he hasn't
been able to pursue any regular oc-

PREDICTS EARLY END
OF kAISER'S POWER
Rev. Dr.. Martin Says Hohenrollerns
Days Are Numbered.

1.-THE end of the dynasty of the
house of Hohenzollern is at hand. The
Kaiser has betrayed his nation and
lied to his people about as long as he
can"
This was the declaration OF Rev.
DR.. d. II. Martin in Wesley Chapel
last night. in his sermon on "The
Spirit of 1776 Today on the BattIehelds
of France"
I'VE are fighting today for the free
dom OF mankind. as we have always
fought" continued DR.. Martin. But
fighting upon a broader and more uni
versal plane.
"The Spirit of 177S Is still in our
country, but unfortunately that spirit
has not grown with the development
of the nation. 1t is here, living still
in some of us as II did in the hearts
and lives OF our forefathers. but un-
fortunately there are many people.
native born as well as aliens. who do
not know what the spirit of lI16 is.
II this country was as full OF the
spirit of 1T76 as it should be. men
would volunteer for the service of
their country as readily as our fore
fathers gathered at Lexington and
Bunker Hill.
I'VE should make this Fourth of
July memorable with deeds instead of
fireworks and noise or even mere
words. Independence Day should fnd
US standing squarely behind the PresI-
dent in all that he is trying to do.
The barbarous deeds OF Germany
would put Atilla. the Hun. to shame.
A nation guilty OF the atrocious deeds
that Germany has committed is not
fit for a place among the civilized ma
tions Of the world. The house of the

Cop Stops Traffic,
But Not His Wife

New York. July like Reuben,
traffic cop. is the terror of all motor
lists along Broadway. lie stands at
Sixty-fifth street and regulates traf-
fic with lordly wave of his hand.
When traffic was at its height la st
night, Reuben was suddenly hit over
the head with an umbrella. He looked
around and two short, determined
women were facing him.
You will, will your" said one, who
turned out to be his mother-in-law
Both belRbored him, while thousands
jammed the White Way" and auto
mobiles were blocked for a mile in
either direction. Two fellow GODS
came up, but refused Reuben's pleas
that they arrest his wife and her
mother. Finally all three were taken
to the police station, later to be re-
leased.
