GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. September 27.-Armistice
proposals by Bulgaria sent the corn
market sharply downward today. Cen
eral selling resulted from reports of
broad active market Some Of the un-
loading was of an automatic stop-1oss
character. Opening prices. which
ranged from % to 1A lower. with Oc-
1.4sA to 1:4sA, were followed by a
slight rally, and then by a decided
fresh break.
Oats reflected the weakness Of corn.
Changes in oats, however, were COM
paratively slight. After opening y to
the market continued to show a tend
ency to sag.
Higher quotations on hogs lifted
provisions. Buying, though, was not
aggressive.

lowest price they have been in several

hens and roosters and dressed turkeys

Philadelphia Orchestra.

The Philadelphia Orchestra, with
Hans Kinder, the orchestra's first
cellist. as soloist, attracted a large
crowd at the National Theater yester-
day afternoon.
Hans Kinder, a young musician, han
dies the cello in manner creditable
to one many years his senior. His sue
cesses in Holland, his native country,
have been many and. judging from the
recalls he received at yesterdays con-
cert, his work in America is not to
pass without prominent distinction. He
played with the orchestra, Concerto,
by Boyle. This composition, dedicated
to Hans Kinder. was fresh from the
pen, being just finished in 1917. It af-
fords excellent opportunities for a
cellist to display his talents, and
Kinder made the most Of each oppor-
tunity. showing splendid technique. yet
bringing out the beautiful. somber
esteemed.
The symphony was Brahms, No. 2.
in D major. A noteworthy feature of
the playing of this composition was the
beautiful blending of the string and
wind instruments. thereby bringing out
tones at times as if from huge pipe
organ.
The closing number was an excerpt
from Berlioz's '.Damnation of Faust"
abrupt finale; the dainty "Danse des
Sylphes" and the ponderous 'Marche
Hongroise." fitting climax, as well as
final, for an orchestra concert.
The masterful hand of Leopold Sta
kowski welded the baton, and, as
usual, he conducted without notes, ex-
cept the concerto.

Mr.. Right: you've said it-this q
war! To win the war it might be neces3
sary for the government to take youf
factory away from you, and ruin your
business. 1t might be necessary to take
your house and turn you out in the street!
What of that? Is that as great sacrifice
as your neighbor makes, or stands ready
to make, when he gives his boy to his
country? Yet you don't think it's your
duty to pinch and save, and borrow il
need be, in order to buy Liberty Bonds,
and thus help shorten the war, make vic.
tory certain, and save the lives of thou.
sands of American boys who will other.
wise be uselessly sacrificed.

not apply to the Hon. A. S. Mont.
yomery. who resides in the town Of
Safdis, who is always ready to lend
a hand in any patriotic movement
and there are others, but in the
main, the 7th district of Henderson

choose to look at it in that way. II
