SHARP NEW ADVANCES
feature CORN MARKET
Assumed Need of Large Food Sup
plies Offsets Expected Increased
Rural Shipments

CHICAGO. November 23.-Sharp new
advances based largely on reports
of food scarcity in Europe have taken
place this week in the value of corn,
despite an expected enlargement of
domestic rural shipmen nts and not
withstanding lowered quotations at
Paris and London. Compared with a
week ago, corn prices this morning
were &c to &c higher, and oats UP
l &c to 2%a214c. AT the same time
lard was off 55c to TIC. but pork and
ribs showed gains OF 10c to sec.
Especially. during the first part of
the week, interest of corn traders
ceIItered on the assumed need OF
large food supplies to avert transat-
1antic starvation. London advices that
arrangements were being made to
dispatch a number of German vessels
TO the United States were responsible
for much of the fever to purchase,
arations to send large amounts of
foodstuffs to Austria. as well as the
departure of five big food-laden
steamships from America for the
Netherlands. Later in the week, how
ever. bearish news predominated, in
cluding word of liberal Argentine
shipments. Accordingly, extreme adj
yances were not maintained.
Oats strengthened with corn, but
upturns brought out hedging.
Provisions were dull and irregular,
mainly Influenced by the varying ac-
tion of cereals and hogs.

Roosters.



A few years ago the government
sent out bulletins entitled ''Swat the
Rooster. which called on the farm
ers throughout the country to kill all
the extra ROSTERS. keeping only
those actually needed for breeding
purposes, claiming that thereby the
condition of the hocks would be i'm
proved and the food consumed by
the roosters conserved. Acting on
This suggestion, there are chicken
farms that have not kept a rooster
in their fiocks for over four years.
and the hens are laying more eggs.
which are also better. Eggs for
hatching are. of course, purchased.
All this was before the present
drive on food conservation, and it
seems very strange to people coming
10 Washington to find roosters in
within walking distance Of the de-
partment buildings, and the only way
TO get relief from the morning con-
cert is to make a complaint-in other
words, incur the ill Will of the owners
OF the rooSters in order to have an
opportunity to sleep.
If it is against the law to keep
these pests (and if it isn't, such a
law should be passed without delay)
why should not the policemen who
are on night duty locate these dis
turbers and notify the owners to kill
them? The desire to reduce the cost
of living by keeping hens is one to
he encouraged. but swat the roost-
e-s. as they are not only a nuisance
in a city, but totally unnecessary.

Mr.. McAdoo's Resignation.
Local bankers were :aken COM
pletely by surprise by the unexpect-
ed retirement of Secretary McAdoo:
The belief was general that the re-
firing Secretary was sadly in need of
prolonged vacation, and he was
given all credit for the able manner
cial operations of the prewar and
war periods.
No attempts were made to suggest
a successor, although one or two
bankers expressed the opinion that
they would mot be surprised if Bar
ney Earuch was named" The names
of Representative Carter Glass, Sena-
tor Owen and Controller of the Cur
rency Williams were also heard on
the street. but from none with any
claim to information on the subject.
On the Stock Exchange.
One sale of five shares of Lanston
at 66. ex dividend, completed the rec
ord of today's session of the local
stock exchange. There was the
usual attendance Of operators, but for
the first time in many days orders at
price levels were few and far be-
tween.
The bid prices for the public utility
shares showed small change, S7M bid,
So asked, for Capital Traction, SO for
Railway common, 69k for preferred,
both ex dividend, and Ssh for Wash
ington Gas.
Mergenthaler was offered at 1873 y,

totaled 4S2 shares of stock and $1,000

YOUR ApCESIJRS.
BY H.. ADDINGT0N BRUCE.
Copyright, 1881

| In these days, when the gospel OF
eugenics is being So vigorously
preached, it is important to keep a
cool head with reference to the pos
sibilities of heredity.
+ OF this am reminded by sundry let
| ters which come to me from time to
time, written by unhappy people VINO
have been delying into eugenic lltera-
| ture and are tornented by the fate
they fear must some day be theirs
because they have had an. epileptic
! insane or alcoholic ancestor.
! do not altogether blame them fol
being frightened. To read eugenie
| treatises and pamphlets, with their
or that unfavorable trait in human
| heredity, one might well be led to
believe that anybody's chances, fol
| physical or mental normally are
small indeed.
| But the truth of the matter Is thai
the facts of everyday observation DC
| not square with, the gloomy, fear-1h-
spring statistics of the eugenists.
| According to these Statistics the
world ought to be full of feeble
minded people today. 1t ought also to
be world of drunkards, lunatics
| criminals, tubercular Weak1lngs ano
| goodness knows what else.
But such is not the state OF anaars
Drunkards, lunatics and the rest still
are exceptional individuals. 4e1
scarcely a man or woman can trace
back his pedigree without somewhere
| finding in it at least one ancestor
| who eugenically should have blighted
his posterity for ever and a day. ALL
| Observe, however, that any one tax
/ ing all this trouble to look UP his an.
cestors will find that the abnormal
| ones are as exceptional in that partac.
ular family history as are abnormal
men and women in the present day
world.
Most ancestors are physically and
mentally healthy enough. Fhe eugen-
| lists, and those who allow themselves
| to be terrorized by the eugenlsts, Tor
get this interesting and vital Slgnln-
cant fact.
They forget that even if Mr.. Roe
cut his grandm others throat and
Mrs. Roe committed suicide, innumer-
| able other. Roes on both sides OF the
| family were eminently laW-abidine
and right-thinking people. They 1or-
get that these other Roes would con,
tribute something to the genera'
family inheritance.
Good traits are at least as inherit
able as bad ones. If the ancestry
then, is predeminantly good, why
shiver at the bugaboo of one throat
cutting Mr. Roe or one suicidal Mrs,
Roe in the personal history?
Nature, in truth, always tends to
revert to the normal. rev are aa.eu es
| by inheritance to fill. suicides graves
| to die insane, or to pass through LIE
Alphabetically 1t is easy to pin the
| blame of these things on heredlty: but
| it is neither right nor constructlVely
! helpful to do SO.

WEEKS MARKET DULL.
SOMEWHAT UNSETTLED
Indicated in Recession Of Prices
and Suspensions of Dividends.
End-of-War Sequences.

NEW YORK. November 2s.-The
stock market was comparatively dull
but somewhat unsettled this week,
professional traders as well as the
financial community evidently facing
the forthcoming period Of reconstruc-
ton with less optimism.
This was indicated not only in the
general recession of prices, but by
several readjustments and suspen-
traceable to the cancellation of war
orders.
Executives of various important in
dustrial enterprises freely acknowl-
edged the radical changes already re-
sulting from the end of the war, and
labor problems were intensified, al
though as yet no material revision of
prevailing wage schedules has been
reported.
Money Under Restrictions.
Money was also q deterrent. to any
wide demand for securities, time
funds remaining extremely scarce,
while brokers' loans continued under
the severe restrictions imposed by
the local money committee, acting in
conjunction with the federal reserve
board and the stock exchange.
Liquidation was observed in motors,
metals and several other speculative
issues, the movement gaining mo-
nentum after the passing of the Max
we'll Motors first preferred dividend
and runors of price cutting in the
copper trade.
Steel and equipments were noder-
ately steady at times, but yielded to-
l. .l~
showed some resistance, especially
standard issues, but shippings were
subjected to erratic fluctuations fol-
lowing the announcement that the
federal authorities had called a halt
in the Mercantile Marine deal to dis
pose of it's British tonnage.

IRREGULAR; EASIER

NEW YORK. November 23.-Stocks

but soon reacted again, the second de-
cline embracing most branches Of the
active list. y
Coppers, motors and equipments
constituted the weakest features at
extreme reactions of ! to points. but
the reversal finally extended to stand
ard issues, including rails.
United States Steel resisted press
ure, but related shares and oils hnally
succumbed.
Rallies ranging from fractions to a
point were made in the later dealings
The closing was heavy. Sales ap-
proximated $50, 900 shares.
The feature of the bond market was
the activity of the fourth liberty ANS
