GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, March 1S.-Active trading
and rapid fuctuation characterized
business today in the grain pits. An
nouncement that there would be a limit
of 10000 bushels placed on the amount
of grain that any member could carry,
whether long or short and either dur
ing the session OF overnight, had much
to do with the nervousness shown. and
with temporarily unsettling quotations.
Corn, influenced by big receipts de .eioped
weakness at the outset, but quick cover
ing by shorts brought about a sharp
rally which. however, failed to last.
After opening Is to is lower, with March
1.26i1 and May 1.22 to 1.23i.. prices
ran up far above Saturdays finish. and
then lost all the gain.
Oats paraileled the action of corn. The
market was big. broad affair. with
sentiment well divided Opening prices,
which ranged from a to Is lower, with
May 81 to S1&. were followed by a de-
cided upswing and then a sudden reac-
ton multiplying nearly all of the advance.
hog market.
General evening up of trades. espec-
tally on the part of shorts, resulted
later in fresh advance. which was
associated more or less with the fact
that the weather had become extreme
to imply that much hauling from farms
might be abandoned. The close was
firm. " to q net higher. with March

PHILADELPHIA CAPITAL
may BACK A new BANK
BY I. A. FLEMING.

While one bank rumor. and the most
insistent one, has been effectually
spiked. the second, relating to the pur-
chase of the property on the south
east corner of 18th and 1 streets north
west, is even more insistent than 1t
was last week. 1t is stated with posi-
tiveness that this corner and the ad-
joining lot on the south has been pur-
chased as a site for a bank, one that
shall have a large capital and be pre-
pared to compete for it's share of bust
ness.
1t is impossible to connect any per-
son or persons or corporation with the
proposed venture, the latest being that
1t is Philadelphia enterprise.
Washington now has forty-t"o
financial institutions competing for de-
posts, which would seem ample 1or
the needs of the city, but all are COM
paratively prosperous and the growth
of the field IN the last few years, with
the prospect that, even after the war.
it will retain much of its wartime
growth, may be tempting to some out
side capital.

LACK OF HEAT. MAY CLOSE

Defective Plant Cause Clerical Forces
To Suffer And Something Must
Be Done

The continued frigid weather, and
a heating plant that is said to be in
adequate to make conditions comfort
able during such a siege of weather
that has prevailed for weeks, has
caused many of the clerical force in
the several offices about the Court
House to get up in arms, and threats
are heard that the offices will be clos
ed unless something is done to rem
edy the existing conditions.
AS everyone who does desk work
knows, it is hard lines and uncomfort-
able to sit at a desk in an Office for
one or more hours at time ponder
ing over books or doing other work
in a temperature that varies between
40 and 60 degrees. Such is the sit
uation among the clerical officials
about the Court House building, and
the County Commissioners are now
being appealed to to provide some
remedy. The furnace in the building
is said to be badly in need of repair,
hence the inability to get sufficient
heat

indications are that the storm viii

tight wind accompanies the storm

registered below 20 degrees when the
storm started. but it got a good deal
warmer as morning wore on. The
frozen condition of the ground fur
nished a good bed for the ileeey

The storm was what is commonly
known as one of the old-fashioned
order. While the feecy flakes were
falling they came down thick and
fast. but shortly after o'clock il had
practically spent itself, as the clouds
began to thin out and it grew much
brighter. Colder weather viii follow
tomorrow, according TO the forecast

that there viii be brisk west, shift

is not unlikely that such viii be the

In the course of time this we'll be
Strengthened out, but at present no
figures can be obtained. The bylaws
OF all Red Cross Chapters state very
clearly that all members of the Amer
lean Red Cross who are residents of
territory within the jurisdiction of a
given Chapter are automatically
members of that Chapter. a Chapter
is given sovereign powers in all mat
ters within its own jurisdiction, sub
iect only to the decisions of its Di-

residents Of Anne Arundel County TO
the Chapter TO which they belong
namely, the Annapolis and Anne
Arundel County Chapter When this
is done, and when all enrolment
books have been returned. it may be
that this Chapter will attain its
quota of $500. and then again, it may
not.
The signs are encouraging, but facts
are wanted. The Secretary of this
Chapter therefore has no apologies to
make for Withholding the recorded
number of new paid memberships for
the Christmas drive If the present
discussion had been made public pre-
viously to this time. it is probable that
many Red Cross workers. would have
felt that the quota would be attained
and would have slackened their eff
forts As it is. they have been kept
guessing they have worked hard, and
although they are now in possession
of the facts, they should not assume
as yet that the Chapter has met with
success. The sooner they send in the
remaining enrolment books, the
sooner they will know how far the
campaign has succeeded, barring
memberships lost TO the Baltimore
