CORN SKYROCKETS
Unprecedented Prices Reached:
Boosted by DistilIers.
Wheat and Oats Also Advanced
by Report of Poor Crops.

Chicago, July Corn has eclipsed
all other commodities in the last
week as a breaker of high price rec
ords- Every session of the board of
trade, beginning with Saturday, wit
messed the reaching of a new top level
of values. Scarcity of immediate sup
plies, urgency of export call and
eagerness of distillers to buy while the
manufacture of whisky was yet pos
sible We're among the chief reasons
put forth for the high market. Com
pared with week ago, quotations this
morning were up 6 u C to SIC, wheat
gained 10 II c to lie, oats finished q C
off to sc advance, and provisions
showed a rise varying from 2kc to
S1.55.
Wheat developed some Independent
strength, altho hoisted mainly by the
skyrocketIng of corn. Hot winds in
the southwest, lack of rain in the Da-
kotas and Minnesota and frost damage
in Canada all tended to lift wheat
prices but nothing enlarged the vol
ume of business. Unfavorable crop
prospects kept oats relatively weak
Provisions assembled with hogs and
corn.

New Move Follows Defeat of

Washington, July THE battle
over the prohibition issue involved in
the food control bill is being fought
out in the senate again today. this
time on the question whether con-
sumption. as we'll as the manufacture
of distilled liquor, shall be prohibited
during the war.
The contest had narrowed down to
this phase today following defeat of
the bone dry amendment which ac-
ton makes it certain that all legisla-

cants will be limited to distilled
beverages.
'Wets" endeavored to force recon-
sideration of the Cummins amend
ment tentatively adopted which pre-
vents withdrawal of hard" liquor

poses. Opponents of the provision
claim it amounts to a virtual con-
fiscation of 72O,00O,000 gallons with

Senate in a Swirl.
Thus the senate found itself in a
swirl today on the question of whether
or not the public shall have the

purposes.
