WEEKLY GRAIN AND PRO-
VISIONS.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Decisive action
by the United States government not
only stopped wild smashing of the
price Of cor this week but has been
mainly responsible for lifting values
3 6-8 to 10 cents as compared with a
week ago. Oats this morning were
also up 7-8 to l Ia cents for the week
and pork ~ cents to SLIP. On the
other hand lard and ribs were down
81 cents to 81. 9
Weakness which the corn market
had shown as a result of the German
answer to President Wilson's inquir-
les disappeared like a flash when
sudden notice came from federal
sources that the administration would
reQuire-large amounts of corn for
November and December shipment.
The exciting advances which follow
ed amounted in some cases to IL
cents in five minutes. Next day trad
ers were nearly unanimous in draw
ing bullish conclusions as to the eff
feet of President Wilson's note to
Germany, but "a. hours afterward
sentiment reversed on reports of a
financial panic in Berlin. Fresh adj
~vances. however, took place esubse-
quently owing to denials that Ger
many had capitulated. Reports that
the German U-boats had been re-
called were nevertheless likewise
treated as bullish.

Lower quotations on hogs weaken

though, remained scarce.

STOCK MARKET
AGAIN ACTIVE

New York, Oct. 1s.-The final ses-
sion Of the week on the stock ex-
change was characterized by another
outburst of bullish enthusiasm al
though the energies of the financial
community were mainly directed to-
ward the successful conclusion Of the
Liberty Bond loan. Activity was again
most pronounced in the speculative
issues notably oils, which were rather
errauc, however, as a result of heavy
selling for profits. Rails, steels, equip
ments. coppers and shippings con-
tributed to he extensive dealings at
the wide range Of l to IL points. Gains
were mostly reduced at the end, a few
leaders FORGETTING all their advantage.
The closing was irregular. Sales APP
proximated 900, 600 shares. Liberty
bonds were steady.
Another vigorous rise in prices ac-
companied the active opening of to-
days stock market even the wal
group, recently under pressure, scor-
ing advances. Oils were again in the
foreground. Mexican petroleum ad.

gain of l point on a sale of 5000
shares soon increased its advantage
Shippings rallied / t. 2 points from

MARKET
HIGHER TODAY

Chicago, Oct. 1s.-week end cover
ing by shorts led to decided upturns
today in the corn market. Delay in
the receipt Of the German answer to
President Wilson's note was given a
bullish construction and there was an
evident tendency to even up trades to
be prepared for any surprise happen

were light. Initial prices which ranged

sharp gains all around. 4
Oats had an upward slant with
corn. After opening at 1-Sc of to lac
advance with November 66 3-8 the
market continued to ascend.
Provisions reflected weakness Of the
hog market. Pork fell the limit.
Profit taking sales led to reaction
later. The close was unsettled, 1 3-8
to 8 1-8 cents net higher with Novem-
Der 1922 5-8 to ga and December
$1.18 1-8 to 3-8. e

RUSSIANS ARE
WISHING FOR
PEACEFUL REST
Bread Allowance in Many OF
Russian Towns is too Low
to Be of Value.

Moscow, June 30.-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press. 1.-The
average Russian wants bread and rest
from the turmoil through which he
has BEEN passing for the last four
years, and he believes he will
He doesn't know exactly how, but
he's hopeful.
The Russian public is struggling
along with great patience. making the
most OF its very limited food supply,
making over its much-worn clothing,
polishing its shabby shoes and getting
all h amusement it can out OF life
by attending the theaters and visiting
the summer gardens.
Moscow's bread allowance is one
quarter Of a pound daily for each per-
son-if he gets it. And the quality of
the bread varies SO greatly that there
is much betting and testing daily as
to what sort of bread the food COM
mittees will supply the following day.
Straw enters largely into the COM
position OF the bread supplied to Mos
COW, Petrograd and other cities far
from the grain-producing centres.
Sometimes the straw is chopped so
finely it cannot be detected. On other
days it is so coarse and abundant in
b loaf that straws an inch long may
be found.
A recent cartoon in the Moscow
Novoye Vreyma showed an old man
plating a straw hat. Two urchins
wearing straw hats were playing at
his feet, and a loaf of bread from
which long straws were protruding
lay on the table. A neighbor who
stood beside the weaver inquired:
How do you find the bread these
days?"
The reply was:
I'VE can't eat it, but it makes ex-
ce1lent straw hats"
The dearth of alcoholic drinks at
forded the subject for a cartoon which
gave Moscow a hearty laugh. A Gus
toner holding a bottle Of perfume in
his Hand stood before an apothecary
to whom he complained:

BASEBALL BUG
SPREADNCFAST
AMONG ALLIES
Simple Instructions Are in
Demand by Many of the
European Teams.

New York, Oct. 19.-The popularity
Of baseball among the Allied nations
abroad is spreading so rapidly that
there is already a demand for simple
instructions and rules of the game,
printed in foreign languages. To meet
these requirements several expert
baseball authorities are collaborating
primer which will be distributed in
various sections of Europe.
The pamphlet. which will be print
ed in French, Italian, English and
Spanish, will carry the rules Of the
game in the simplest form. In addi-
ton there will be pages of explana-
tons and answers to the questions
which arise among those who are
playing their first contests. These
questions and answers will be printed
both in English and various foreign
languages in parallel columns in or
der that when American and foreign
players Or spectators meet, without
being able to speak the language of
their opponents or neighbors in the
stands, there may be a medium of
communication at hand. A glossary OF
technical and baseball terms in all
languages is also to be appended.
What is probably one of the last of
J the special baseball wartime con-
tracts. which star players insisted the
magnates should sign in order to re-
tain their services, during the days
the major circuits, was spread before
the public recently. When Jake
Daubert, first baseman Of the Brook.
Ign Nationals, carried his appeal to
the National Commission for the bal
ance of his salary due under his in
depreciation of his contract, the spe.
cial articles in the same were an
nounced as follows:
