200 IN LIFE BOATS, LAND.
Crew Also in sBoats-Suffered Ex-
Stremely From Weather.

A Coast Town in the County of An
trim, Ireland, Jan. 2S.-More than POO
passengers and membeA' of the crew
of the Cunard liner Andania were
landed here Sunday afternoon. Most
of the crew were in a pitiable condi-
ton. Some were clad lightly and had
suffered severely from their exposure
in the lifeboats. Many were wrapped
in blankets. Two babies were carried
ashore by the sailors.
1t was reported here that the explo-
sion of the second torpedo had killed
five stokers. Rescue of SO large a
number was explained from the fact
that at the moment of the attack the
crew was preparing for boat drill.
The submarine which hit the An
edania was twice seen, once twenty
Yards distant and again fifty.

Morning Grain Gossip.
(Furn ished by the Topeka Board Of Trade.

Chicago, Jan. :s.-The Herald says: 1t
was the impression of many in the oat
trade last night that local bulls and others
who have pyramided heavily of late had
more bought than at any previous time
and were in no shape to stand a sharp
break, should anything startling in the
political situation, happen over Sunday
that would induce selling movement Sales
of cash oats by country. elevator men in
ILLINOIS and Iowa, as well as by the farm
ers late in the day, were said to be large.
1t was asserted also by some of the cash
people that the federal government was
about filled up and had refused to accept
some of the late offerings. Premiums ON
cash oats were strong to a shade higher
with standard 61a@6Ac over May and No.
3 white 6@6Ac over. Fair purchases for
80 days shipment were at sac over May
or INC over the posted price. With hogs
off over 81 per hundred pounds in week
it has brought the average of packers
droves down TO around the minimum figure
of $3.50 as set by the food administrator.
On this account ther- were traders who
believed that the large government orders
for cured products that have been pending
for some time would be placed Immediately
to bolster up the market and prevent any
further material decline in hogs.
