MARKET REPORTS.
GRAIN.

ChicagoC April 13.-Evidence of
a decided increase OF the car supply
in the corn belt and OF probable en-
larged receipts here next week gave
the corn market today af resh down
turn. Greater pressure OF hedging
sales was looked for. Moreover.
the ability of arrivals continued
good Opening prices, which ranged
from Is to | Is cents lower with
May l.27 Is to l.27 IA and Iulv
l.55 to l,53 3-S, were followed by a
material further decline.
Weakness became more acute
subsequently instead OF lessening.
The close was nervous, 3-S to 81
cents net lower, with May l.27 and
July $50 3-8 to $50 II.
Oats went downward with corn.
The chief selling was by commits
sion houses. After opening 3-S to
81 cents off, with May IS to IS IA
the market underwent a moderate
additional sag.
Provisions lacked support. Higher
quotations on higs were ignored.
Weekend adjustment of trades
led to something Of rally in the
last hall hour OF the session.

QUEST FOR HAPPINESS"
NETTED RED CROSS $3.50

The presentation OF "The Quest
for Happiness" by the senior class
of Ardmorc high school last night at
Convention Hall, repeated the sue
cess OF last week and wor additional
laurels for the youthful actors, who,
by their efforts, were the means OF
benetiting the Red Cross to the
amount of about $3.50.
Margaretta Graham and John
Thompson, who were cast in the
leading roles, were especially clever
and were supported by cast that
would have done credit to profes-
sionalS.
The music, under the direction Of
Sol NJ. Lowenstein, was an imp or-
tant feature. The costumes and
stage settings were in keeping with
the pretentiouS character of the
play The audience was large and
appreciative.
Miss Lillian Bishop, teacher Of
English, and Miss Eleanor Lilly of
the department OF English who
trained the participants in the play,
deserve much credit for its artistic
presentation.

German document reveals that there
were to be three smaShes on the
front north and south of Armen-
there's. One had BailIeul as its main
objective, the other Mervilc and
Aire, and the third Bethunc.
Not less than e divisions had
been employed by the enemy in the
pretentious program which has
meant that at some place the Brit
ish have been very heavily outnum-
bcred. A German division aggre-
gates $1,000 to $4,000 men, including
$500 rifles.
St. Nenant, between Mcrville and
Aire, was being heavily attacked to-
day by strong forces OF Germans
after their success OF last night
which gave them possession Of Mer-
vile. The enemy seemed desirous
Of reaching Airc, a railway center,

of troops into the conflict in an at

who condemned the Nationalists for

They must, therefore. introduce
an adequate home rule bill and stand

bilize the British moral position and
prove the sincerity OF British aims

minions. Sir Mark was certain that
the English democracy would not lie
