Chicago, Feb. 9.-Material upturns In the
value of grain have been brought about
this week, largely thru the sinking of the
Tuscanfa and by the scantiness of immed-
late supplies. Compared with a week ago
corn this morning was We to 5sc higher
and oats lie to 1asc. Provisions were al
most exactly unchanged.
Even before the sinking of the Tuscania
the break down of bearish confidence in
regard to the likelihood of peace had FORM
edSa noticeable factor in the corn trade
Dealers who had cooked for big results
from German economic and political trou-
bles had to admitthat optimism had been
misleading and there was no disposition in
any quarter to oppose the view that the
loss of American soldiers on the Tuscania
would beyond doubt tend to prolong the
war
Unusual scantiness of offerings did a
good deal to render the hosting Of the Soats
market.
Enlarged receipts of hogs wiped out tenn
porary advances in provisions.

This together with the tourist rates

that Florida will have big season
The severity of the past two winters
in the north, the scarcity of coal and
the financial prosperity of the north

factors.
The only note of pessimism comes
from those who believe that the new

family arrangements that many thou
sands will not come on that account.
One man said yesterday:
"The indications are that the big
registration will be held on Septem.

congressional delays in passing the
pending bill will delay the event be-
yond that date. In any event the end
of September will probably see the

come"
Another prominent business man
pointed out, however, that great
majority of the people coming here
are elderly and are usually retired
from business. He inclined to the
belief that there would be big
crowd in spite of the draft.

money for Florida, and more money
is all that is needed to keep Florida's
general development rushing for

If these well-paid wohkmen are
wise they will manage to buy some
Florida land. If Florida farmers are
wise, they will see to 1t that the
food for the many workmen in the
