GRAIN AND PROVISIONS,

CHICAGO, January 23.-Corn prices
hardened today owing more or less TO
the fact that receipts were not proving
as liberal as some traders had ex-
pected. Complaints of car scarcity con-
tinued. notably from central Illinois.
where it was said the elevators were
full of corn. but that no cars had
been supplied for two weeks. Opening
prices. which ranged from X of to q
like advance. with March 1.24A and
May 1881 to 1888. were followed by
moderate general upturn.
Export bids at the highest basis on
the crop gave strength to oats. After
opening unchanged to x higher. with
May at Is to 76K. the market con-
tinued to advance.
Provisions responded to an upturn in
the value of hogs. Arrivals of hogs
here were far short of what had been
predicted.

NEW YORK, April 17.-With the

Of Wulverghem by the Germans, Won
Hindenburg has brought his forces
attacking Ypres to the very base Of
The hills in which are located the prin-
eipal British defenses protecting the
Ypres lowIands to the rear.
Hitherto, the Germans have been
fighting on comparatively level
ground. They now enter upon what
ouehsto be the most difficult part Of
their task. If Won Hindenburg con-

Most Difficult Part of Their Task

ious matter for Marshal Haig, chief
ly because the British are now COM
PEELED to fight in their final defense to
save Ypres.
Bailleul's former value as an inn
|portaRt center of communication has
disappeared with the German advance
within artillery range several days
ago. Wulverghem's Importance as a
defensive outpost for the highly inn
portant Messines ridge positions was
seriously jeopardized when the Ger
mans captured Neuve-Eglise.
Since Won Hindenburg has resolv-
ed to continue his reckless slaughter
Of man-power in this sector Of the
front, it is better tactics for the Brit
ish to retire wholly to their defenses
amid the hills than to continue their
bloody game on level ground. The
hills defending Ypres may take their
place among the most terrible death
traps of history. There is no reason
for present alarm in the slight British
retirement. While the situation is
unquestionably serious for the allies,
it is capable of becoming well nigh
fatal for Won Hindenburg.
