CHICAGO, December 24.-Traffic de-
lays resulting from heavy, wet snow
brought about upturns today in the
price of corn. Smallness Of receipts
here tended also to lift values. On
the other hand. there was no urgent
buying and the fact that a cold wave
was in prospect acted as q check ON
the advance. Opening Quotations. which
varied from the same as yesterdays
finish to y higher, with January 1924
were followed by moderate gains all
around.

 In other words, it will be some months before he will recover
 complete control of equilibrium,
 or before he will cease to find
 himself dizzy at quick or uneX-
 Iected motion. In consequence, . during these months he must be
 cautious about his activities.
 He is bent upon keeping his
 cngagcments to speak in Maine on
 the 18th of this month. We be-
 Iieve but are not certain, that he
 will be able to do so--in cOndi-

 hand and that he exercise eau
 ton during the trip itself. For
 the next fortnight he ought to
 rest as much as possible, so that
 he may recover from the effects
 of the severe operations he has
 undergone.
 Colonel Roosevelt was taken to Roosevelt hospital on February 6, fol- lowing an operation performed at his home. Sagamore Hill, in Oyster Bay, for an abscess. The abSceSs. phYsl- clans said. was due to the malignant fever which the colonel had contract ed in South America in 1914. It had developed into a tistula, which the operation completely cured. When the patient complained of feeling bad following the operation it was decided to bring him to the hospital where he might have constant medical at tention. At Roosevelt hospital it was discovered that an abscess had de- yeloped in each ear., due, like the original abscess, to the fever in hts svstem At first these were consld- cred trifling.
 In October last after he had spent some time at Stamford, Conn, to rest up. Colonel Roosevelt told of the loss of sight in his left eye, due to an ac- cident while he was president. The colonel said that he was boxing with one of his military aids, who, 1t was afterward learned was Captain F. T. Moore, when he was struck by his opponent in such a way as to destroy the sight of the organ.

ROOSEVELT DEAF
 IN HIS LEFT EAR
May Never Hear With Organ, in
 Belief Of Physicians

New York March.4-ColOnel Theo- 0ore Roosevelt has recovered sufti- 4cinetly to warrant his leaving the Hospital this afternoon, according to an announcement made yesterday ny 1lis secretary Miss Josephine Stricller, In a statement issued at Roosevelt alospital last night by Drs. Walton Martin and Arthur B. Duel the kGoloneps physicians, it was asserted Hhat, as 3 result of the operations uoerfGrmed for abSceSSeS i'll his ears, Golonel Roosevelt had lost probably ypergnanently," the hearing in his left ear The hearing has been tempor- nrily impaired in his right ear, ac- cording to the physicians.
 It was further said at the hospital that for months to come the colonel would be subject to dizziness at any quick or unexpected motion, due to the temporary loss of control of sequilibrium which has been caused Roy the operations on the internal ear on the left side.
 State of the Physicians
 Tn physicians insist that, with rest ahe patient may recover completely from the effects of the severe opera lions he has undergone. Their state ment follows:
 For the last four years Colonel Roosevelt has intermittently suf- fered from the after effects of his Brazilian exploration. This has not interfered with his activities. which have been above those of the normal man. This acute attack has given us the opportunity to remove the cause, probably completely we believe from the rapidity with which the incision has healed, ne is in an unusually vigorous con dition, and that he will speedily be in even better shape than be- fore.
 While this condition was being treated. but not in connection with this condition, he developed an acute infection of both middle ears which necessitated an in cision of both drum membranes.
 The right ear recovered and in a
 few weeks the hearing in this ear
 will be as good as ever. Suose-
 quent,y the infection spread 10
