CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-Better weather today tended to ease the corn market, but predictions of more snow and lower temperatures acted as an offset Prices closed unsettled. March s1.27 and May sl.25A, with the finish as a whole ranging from 1s to A advance. Oats lost $ to 11sc. Provisions varied from DC decline to a rise of 22c.
 The fact that receipts remained comparatively small operated to re- duce selling pressure, and make prices responsive later to a forecast of new storms and another cold wave
 Oats reacted sharply from the con- tinuous advance of the last five days Talk of a likelihood of maximum price limits formed a noticeable bearisi factor.
 Provisions averaged higher, witf hogs. Supplies fell much short of ex- pectations.

DEFENSE COUNCIL BILL
is MADE SPECIAL ORDER
Measure Will BE Taken Up i'm House
tuesday and supporters Pre-
dict Passage.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 2S.-The
friends of the State Council of De
tense scored victory in the house
OF representatives when the measure
legalizing the council and providing
for an appropriation for il was made
special order, to be considered af-
ter third reading bills next Tuesday.
There is considerable opposition to
the measure, led by about one-half
or the ways and means committee,
the chief animus being the legisla-
ting of the present personnel of the
council into office. There is ways
and means committee majority
amendment to the measure provid
ing for council of forty-five mem
bers. one from each county to be
recommended by the county delega-
tions and appointed by the govern
or.
The Council Of National Defense
says that this is the largest piece of
war legislation before the general
assembly and should be passed in
its original form, which includes the
$4,000 appropriation. which the
majority OF the ways and means
committee cut one-half. The
friends of the bill say that the
amendments to the bill will be kill
ed in the house and the measure
passed as originally drawn. despite
the opposition to it.
The friends of the measure main
tain praise for the State council as
being one Of the most efficient in the
Union. both from the results achiev-
ed and the organization it has built
up. Its disruption at this time, say
friends OF that body, will be her
aided throughout the United States
by the agents of the Kaiser as an
evidence that South Carolina is not
whole-heartedly in the war against
Germany.
Despite objections from oppon-
ents OF the measure. the motion of
Mr.. Crum, of Bamberg, to take up
the bill out OF its usual order on
the Calendar carried by vote of
50 to 81. The house then, by a vote
OF AZ to 25, agreed to make It a
special order. The parliamentary
clincher" was applied making the
special order safe.
