IN RIOTS AT TURIN
 1,400 WERE KILLED
Chicago News)

Rome Italy-News about the recent riots in Turin is being alluded to in all the newspapers here. It appears that the town was left without bread for three days and the people thronged into the squares in order to give vent to their indignation. It is reported, more- over, that two churches and a large restaurant near the station were burned.
 The rising was in all probability connived at by the socialists and the agents of Giolitti, who continue their neutralistic schemes under the mask of disinterestedness. In one quarter. where the troops were called in to dis band the mob. they were compelled to use force in order to restrain it's spread . ing. Citizens fired with rifles and revolvers from the windows. the ma- chine guns of the troops whistIed through the streets, while cannon was brought up in case of need. Rumor has it that the dead and wounded number 1,400. The city was for a time Tn state of siege. In a meeting called by the mayor an order of the day was drawn up appealing to the government Tor one hundred thousand bushels of grain for the city.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW

NEW YORK, March 22.-Dunn's to- morrow vii say:
 Movements in business have contin- ued mainly in the right direction, with steady acceleration of manufacturing land distribution and a quickening of retail demands under favoring weather Iconditions. The development of spring trade, while limited by the various war restrictions and the economies of the period, is satisfactory in many in Stances and financial obligations are met more promptly as shipment go for ward to points of destination with less genera Interruption. It is significant lof the skillful management of the banking situation that flurries in money rates, notwithstanding the mag nitude of federal requirements every where remain absent, fand there is 8 growing disposition to discorage specu-
 lative excessess in all quarters. Off, cial action to regulate commodity prices is also widening in its scope and further downward revisions are fore
 shadowed although advances still pre-
 dominate and there are comparatively flew markets in which sellers are at a
 disadvantage.

GRAIN

GRAIN
 CHICAGO, March 22.-Action Of the United States senate in favor of a higher guaranteed price for the 1918 wheat crop had bullish effect today on the value of coarse grain. Chiefly as a result corn finished steady at Is to s4c net advance, with March $1.275s and May $126A. Oats gained 4 to 7sc. In provisions the outcome varied from unchanged figures to decline of 22s.
 Traders were not slow to act on the theory that if wheat was worth 30 cents bushel more, other cereals should command a notable increase Aside from legislative chances, more- movement of the corn crop had seri- ously diminished and that primary re- ceipts today were nearly 900.000 bush els less than on the corresponding day last week. whereas North American clearances for the week had more than doubled.
 | Oats as well as corn responded promptly to the senate action concern ing wheat. Lower quotations on hogs weakened provisions. Close:
