ADVANCES IN CORN
ARE NOT OFFSET BY
NEW TRAFFIC ORDERS

Chicago. JAM. 19.-Sweeping
measures to relieve traffic congestion
have only offset in part advances
which took place this week in the
corn market owing to blizzard vcondi-
tons that had brought the crop
movement to a virtual halt. Com
pared with a week ago, corn this
morning was 3-8 to 1-2 to SIS cent
higher, oats unchanged to Ia cent
off, and provisions up 10 to So cents.
Extreme low temperatures pre-
vailing co~unteracted temporarily
prospects that otherwise the govern
ment GOA saving measures would
clear the way promptly for more
liberal arrivals of grain here. The
railreads in the corn Lelt were said
to be making strenuous efforts to
haul soft corn to market and into
the hands of driers. and as soon as
the weather moderates a big move
ment Of corn is anticipated. Mean
while. selling remained Of a decided
ly cautious sort, and January deliV-
cry held at close to the maximum
price limit allowed.
Absence of II business with the
seaboard unit! yesterday was chiefly
responsible for declines in the oats
market. Receipts here were small,
railroads giving preference to corn.
Provisions advanced on account
largely of curtailment of the hog
supply and because of liberal orders
expected from the government.

The Petersburg team has beer con-

almost every game played this season,
and, by defeating this team. the
Grand Forks men have successfully
passed one of the big obstacles thrown
in their way this season.
Coach Doc O'keefe has been able
to put the players in fine condition by
persistent efforts and so far every
game played has been won. Last
