Cereals

Wheat-Reports from Argentina said
that an agreement has been signed with
Allied governments for the furnishing
of 100000 tons of wheat, equal to
about 18,500,000 bushels. Credits have
been arranged and cables from Liver
pool state tonnage will be provided for
the transportation of this grain. The
Buenos Ayres wheat market declined
5 to 51s cents per bushel, which was
thought to represent selling by out
side holders who had overstayed their
market.
Corn--The corn market was dull
affair, and it was evident that the trade
was little disposed to take an aggres
sive stand either way as long as traf-
fic conditions are in such deplorable
state and the market is in such an
unatural condition. The undertone
was barely steady. Reports from the
West stated chat country shippers were
becoming quite anxious to make sales.
and that loading at country stations is
going on more rapidly. The trade was
more or less concerned over the ques-
tion of the maximum price for the cash
article, as the new president of the
Chicago Board Of Trade in his in.
augural address was quoted as saying
that the maximum price for cash corn,
oats, rye and barley as we'll as for
futures is a necessity. Whether or not
anything of this kind could be done
is not yet apparent, but it is the opin-
ION in many quarters that the fact
that other grains are selling pro-
portionately higher than wheat makes
It advisable to reduce the price in or
der to conserve the supply of wheat
In the local cash market trading was
dull owing to The inability to make
shipments to the East.

Oats.--The market was quiet, but an
easier undcrtone prevailed, and the
close was * to lac net lower. Price
changes for the day seemed to be gov
erned largely by technical conditions,
with longs inclined to sell, while the
demand was slow. The movement was
light, as result of the unfavorable

ghters. The really astonishing
thing is that these hundreds of
young gi:ls could have stayed
out practically all night in vile
resorts and still more vile com
panions without their mothers
knowing where they we're. Lack
of discipline is apparently more
prevalent now in all large cities
than ever before. Parents of
girls do not exercise the super.
vison OF them that should exist
at all times. 1t is utterly incom
prehensible that mothers who
love their daughters and feel the
maternal instinct to shield them
from wrong should not realize
that every respectable girl ought
to be at home bysnine or half2ast
at least, or have a sufficient and
obvious excuse for staying out
later.
There are many mothers OF
girls in other Cities who are
quite as guilty as were the
mothers of New York. Nightly
