GRAIN

CHICAGO. May 5.-Indications of export business led to a fresh upturn today in the corn market. Prices closed strong at the same as yester- days finish to 1%c higher, with May sL272s and July $1.49A to S1.493s. Oats gained 1Ac to 11ac and provisions soc to 67c.
 Advances in the value of corn fol- lowed a period of weakness which lasted throughout the first half of the session. Warm, sunshiny weather, suspicious for planting. was chiefly responsible for the bearish sentiment that temporarily prevailed. Before midday a general covering movement by shorts began and a sharp advance ensued. At the top figures reached, July was up cents from yesterday S low point
 Oats were swayed by the same influ- ences as corn. In the case of oats, the purchase here of one lot of 25. .0GO bush els for New York exporters was con- firmed.
 Provisions rose with hogs and grain, and as a result of shippers buying of ribs. Offerings were scarce. Close:

Commercial Review

NEW YORK, May 3.-Dun's tomor- row will say:
 Greater concentration on war work, with extension of governmental domi- nation of production and distribution, and of prices, is the outstanding busi- ness feature. The movement to con- trol commodity markets is spreading hides and skins having come definitely under the price regulating program, and available supplies of materials and merchandise are not only diminishing steadily, but some important articles are no longer obtainable for civilian uses. This obsivously tends to limit activities. and ordinary transactions while still bulking heavy in the aggre- gate, are not in all instances what they were before it became necessary to subordinate all other demands to government requirements. The ex- treme and rising costs, moreover Dun's list of wholesale quotations, for the eleventh consecutive week, dis closing more advances than recessions compel economy and retrenchments in many quarters, and there has been the adwded restriction on retail trade of unseasonably low temperatures over a wide area.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
Republican A.-P, Leased Wirel

NEW YORK. May S.-The enthus- iasm attending the final hour of the Liberty loan drive in the financial dis trict had the effect of curtailing busi- ness on the stock exchange today and impaired to an irregular degree the recent rise in quotated values.
 A variety of stocks, chiefly indus trials, made new high records for the current movement, in some instances mounting to best prices of the year, but profit taking cancelled many of these gains.
 United States Steel held it's place as leader, but failed to get above its raise to 9Sia, closing at STA, a net loss of the smallest fraction.
 Lackawanna' Steel, Republic Iron, Virginia Iron and Colorado Fuel reg istered gross gains of to points.
 Sales amounted to 340,000 shares Virtually all the days bond trading centered in Liberty issues, the first and second fours reacting F to almost F of 1 per cent. Total sales, s5,300, 900 United States bonds, old issues, were unchanged on call.

s MELODY LYING
ABOUT THAT BOOZE
No One Would Admit
Buying More Than a
Quart.

Quite an argument arose this morn
ing In Justice Conaway's office regard
ing the case against Clarence Evans
and Tom Keown charged with taking
a car at RiresviIle not belonging to
them and driving to Point Marion for
whiskey, bringing back five and one
half quarts Tuesday. Discussion arose
over the fact that both boys testified
to buying merely the quart allowed
the remainder of the five and one-haIf
which could not be disposed Of salts
factorily.
The two boys claimed they went to
Point Marion with en- additional
friend, Bill Spain. who has left Fair
mont. leaving the night the trouble
began. Blame for the unclaimed whis-
key was shifted on the absent mans
shoulders. Justice Conway said he
wasn't going to have it that way I'M

sure somebody in his office was lying.
AT least five witnesses testified Con
stable Michael said Tom Keown told
him he brought back bottle of beer
and a bottle OF wine to his land1ady.
Later Tom denied this Bill Spain, it
was stated, became frightened and
jumped of the auto when it got in
town, disappearing. It was proved
that Bill bought whiskey at Point Ma
rion but nobody knew how much.
Clarence Evans, a very boyish
young man stated he merely bought a
quart, but Roy Cox testified that he
loaned Evans $40 which Evans said
was spent on sandwiches, gasoline and
drinks while at Point Marion.
