CORN STRENGTHENED

Chicago, Jan. 31.-Adverse weather
conditions tended today to strength
en- corn prices but the effect was
largely offset by reports of an in
creased supply of empty cars and by
announcement of energetic measures
taken to take care of new deliveries
from farmers. Opening quotations,
which varied from the same as yes
terday's finish to shade off, with
March S1.27 and May 1.25 3-8, were
followed by a slight upturn that,
however. failed to last.
All deliveries of oats reached new
high price levels. Government buy
ing at interior points had much to
do with the upturn.
Realizing sales by holders more
than counterbalanced in the pro-
vision market the influence OF higher
prices on hogs.

ton that the Warspite played a prom
fnent part in the Jutland naval bat
tie; that although badly damaged she
managed TO reach port, but evidently
she was Of no further use in the first
line and vas converted into a train
