WEEKLY GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

Chicago. Dec. TEN per cent in.
crease in the number OF hogs, to-
gether with announcement that the
January average price of hogs would
be up to the December level, have
forced liberal advances this week in
the corn market. Compared with a
week ago, orr values this morning
showed gains varying from "a to 6
cents a bushel. Oats were virtually
unaltercd; provisions up 20 cents to
s2.05.
Food administration estimates as to
the need Of immense supplies for
Europe had given the corn market an
upward slant eve before the atten-
ton of traders became focused on tbs
great expansion of the hog raising
industry. Authoritative figures, how
ever, on the increase of the number
of hogs in excess of the total a year,
ago were taken to indicate that en-
larged production of corn had been
more thai counterbalanced and this
view was sharply emphasized by the
subsequent fixing of the January
average hog price at $3.50, The same
as for December. Nevertheless, later
in the week prices to- some extent
weakened owing to signs that the crop
movement was soon to expand. IT,.
Oats were sustained chiefly by the
strength of corn and by a fair de-
mand from the seaboard. ~
Improved cash demand helped to
put frmness into provisions. -. u.

TO HASTEN THE
COMMISSION
OF LARGER SHIPS

Washington, Oct. 29.-The Navy
Department and the War Industries
Board are to cooperate with the
Shipping Board in getting into COM
mission newly launched vessels need
&c to take care of the War Depart
ment's enlarged military program.
These ships have been held up for
lack of boilers and other fittings.
Chairman Hurley announced today
that the War Industries Board had
agreed to divert Immediately mate
rails from other uses to the manufac-
turers of the boilers and fittings while
the Navy Department will supply as
much of such equipment as possible.
The need at present. Mr.. Hurley
said, is for vessels of 10000 tons and
over. Construction Of smaller vessels
will proceed, he said, but not at the
expense Of the large freighters.
Though no radical change will be
made in the building program Of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation at the
present time it was intimated that
in the future the majority Of con-
tr,cts would be for the larger type
Of ships.
Gradually changes will be made In
Great Lakes yards, where most of
the smaller vessels are being con-
structed, SO that larger ships may
be built. North Atlantic yards max
ing small steel freighters have been
notified that in the future they will
be called upon to build ships of al
most twice the tonnage Of those now
being turned out.
