Worlds Market NeUS
WEEKLY GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

Chicago, Sept. 21.-Sweeping en-
bargoes against grain shipments to
western primary centers unless stor-
g room was provided for in ad-
vance have had a decided bearish in
fuence this week on corn. Largely
as a result the market this morning
as compared with a week ago showed
a setback of 3 7-8 to S La. Oats
nevertheless were up 5-8 to / ga
cents. In provisions the changes
varied from As cents decline. to SIS
cents advance.
Much of the bearish sentiment re-
garding corn was due to the fact that
the wholesale railway embargoes were
expected to increase the crop move
ment to Chicago. as this city was the
only big corn center not affected by
congestion of grain shipments. Con-
tiued rapid progress of the Entente
Allies operated further to handicap
the bulls, and so too did more or less
complete disappearance of uneasiness
about possible damage from frost. For
a time, however, an official report that
only sixty per cent of Iowa corn had
matured was a special source of mis-
giving.
Activity on the part of the export
interests gave strength to oats. Mean
while, a big increase of the visible
supply total failed to act as an Offset.
Scarcity of offerings was chiefly re-
sponsible for an advance in the value
of pork. Lard and ribs, however, went
grade with hogs.

strong. Sales approximated $4,000

Finding that the recent higher
range of prices was not bringing out
any increased supply of stocks. bulls
were encouraged to buy more gener-
ally at the opening Of today's stock
market with resultant game of half
to l ID points during the first half
hour. Bears, apparently. impressed by
the broader character of the demand,
showed a general disposition to retire
some Of their outstanding contracts.
Buying was conferred almost wholly in

SUB CHASER IS
9 USED TO HELP
SAVE AVIATORS

Fort Worth, Texas, Sept. 21.-A
submarine chaser, tuned and groomed.
has been transported into the heart of
Texas and put to work-not hunting
down lurking German U-boats, but in
rescuing unfortunate American avn
ators who fall into the water.
This Is a new venture for the sub
marinel chaser, or the sea-sled, as it is
more commonly called. Ordinarily
this craft, which attains a speed az
sixty miles an hour under the flashing
OF tts powerful e~ight-cylinder motor,
is employed along the Atlantic coast
as q guard against the activities Of
the undersea boats. They have been
successful in hunting down foes and.
In guarding coasts. Sixty-one Of the
lightning sleds are In use-.sixty along
the Atlanti a and the sixty-irst
on Lake Worth in Fort Worth.
Several months ago, when the fatal
falls among the aviation students
around this city grew alarming in
number. United States army oficers
concluded that Stunt-fytng and ad-
vanced training would be less deadly
over the waters OF Lake Worth than
over the dry land. The problem q
how to rescue the aviator, should he
tumble. was solved ~ the sea-sled.
p cost Of constructing the boat
IND getting It to Fort Worth was
$l7,0l7. It draws eighteen inches Of
water. Its length 10 twenty-four feet
ana it, width eight feet, eight inches.
II has eighteen air pockets and tho
walls are about eight inches thick.
The Sled has " shaped bottom.

sugar beet mills in the United States
are now ready to turn out sugar to
furnish energy to our soldiers as soon

Nebraska, Utah, Oregon, Colorado,
Montana, Iowa. California and
Washington.
California had the first sugar beet
mill in the United States. This was
built in 1870.

CORN DROPS
LOWER TODAY

Chicago, Sept. 21.-Corn dropped in
value today to the lowest levels yet
since trading in the present deliveries
began. Prospects Of sustained liberal
receipts here gave an advantage to
the bears. Moreover, dread Of in
jury by frost seemed to have vanished.
Opening prices which ranged from
IA to IL cent lower. with October
$3.50 Ia and November $1.47 Ia to
SIS. were followed by material further
declines.
Oats displayed comparative strength.
The reason was continued demand
from the government and from ex-
port interests. After opening I'M
changed to IA cent off, with October
70 Ia to 3-8 the market scored slight
gains.
Lower quotations on hogs weakened
provisions.
Week end adjustment Of trades
checked the downturns later. Prices
lower with october s1.4s Ia to 3-S
and November $1.45 ga to 7-S.
Rallies that took place were unim-
portant.
