Chicago, Jan. l7.-Corn-Corn was
dull and fractionally lower with COM
mission houses selling in small lots
turnout most of the session. Better
weather conditions enabled the rail-
roads to make some Roadway with
traffic and as a result, receipts showed
a material increase. Cash corn in all
markets was lower, the poor grades
showing the greatest decline. Indus
tries were out of the market pending
ruling from the food administrator as
to whether they would be forced to
close five days to conserve fuel. East
ern roads are generally embars oed,
which prevents shipments to that ter
ritory.
Oats-After an early dip, oats flrmed
up on comm ission house buying and
covering by short sellers. Receipts
were very small, and sample values
about unchanged. An extremely large
amount of grain is on side tracks thru
out the country waiting TO be hauled
to terminal tracks.
Stocks-Good gains in some OF the
railroads and industr:als were Offset
by corresponding declines in other is
sues. Steel surrendered its Leadership
to marine preferred. which at one time
showed a gain OF nearly five points on
expectation of a substantial dividend.
Towards the close nearly the whole list
felt the effects Of the probable cessa-
ton in business activity for five days
due to order OF fuel administrator in
an effort 20 conserve the supply Of coal.

yelop which, il IS believed. will help the

Receipts That
Save Wheat
Indian Pudding

Five cups milk, 1-.3 cup corn meal,
l teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ginger, 12
cup molasses.
Cook milk and meal in a double
boiler 20 minutes; add molasses, salt
and ginger; pour into buttered pud-
ding dish and bake two hours in
slow oven; serve with whole milk.
Fruit Gems
One cup corn meal, II cup milk,
l teaspoon salt, y cup raisins, 70
cup currants, tablespoons fat, 1
teaspoon baking powder.
Cook the meal and salt in the milk
for a few minutes. When cooked add
the baking powder and beat thor
oughly Add the fruit and melted fat
and bake.
South Carolina Corn Bread
l u quarts fine corn meal, 21A
quarts of flour or 21s quarts fine
corn meal, 11squarts wheat flour, 2
teaspoons salt, l pint mashed sweet
potatoes, l yeast cake.
Mix one pint each of the corn
meal and the flour and add warm
water enough to form a stiff batter
Add the yeast cake, mixed with a
small amount of water. Keep this
sponge in a warm place until it be-
comes light. Scald the rest of the
meal with boiling water and as soon
as 1t is cool enough add it to the
sponge with flour, potatoes and salt
The dough should be just thick
enough to knead without danger of
its sticking to the board. Experience
will teach how much water to use
to secure this end. Knead we'll and
put in a warm place to rise. When
it is light, form into loaves, put into
bread pans, and let it rise until it's
volume is double. Bake in a moder-
ate oven.
1t was a common, though not gen.
eral, practice in New England to add
cooked pumpkin to the other ingre-
dents in making such bread as this
very much as sweet potato is used
in the South. The sweet potato or
pumpkin changes the flavor of the
bread somewhat and apparently
facilitates the rising of the dough,
improves the texture of the bread
and tends to keep it moist. However,
If sweet potato or pumpkin, either
home cooked or canned, cannot be
conveniently obtained, good bread
can be made with white potato.
Corn Meal or Rolled Oats Mullins
One cup corn meal or rolled oats,
l cup flour, IA cup sugar, teaspoon
salt, L egg, l teaspoon soda, 2 teas
spoons cream of tartar, 2 tablespoons
melted shortening, l cup milk.
Mix and sift the dry ingredients;
add gradually milk, we'll beaten egg
and melted shortening. Bake in
