Gauss of Criticism.

Mr.. Cravath confirmed reports that
an abundance of mud could be found
throughout the camp. This was due,
Ne said, to the climatic conditions pre-
Vaiiing in that section. Rain falls dur
ing the autumn and early winter, he
said, practically every day.
1t would have been impossible,
however, according to Mr.. Cravath, to
have selected better camp site in
the nelghborhood of Brest. Criticisms
OF the camp. he thought, have grown
out of the necessity of changing it
from receiving base, where soldiers
arriving from America were kept only
few hours to a concentration base,
where units from the front are neces-
sariiF held until ships arrive to take
| them home.
The camp was intended, in the first
instance to accommodate only a small
proportion of the men now gathered
there, but Mr.. Cravath expressed the
OPINION that adequate accommoda-
soon will have been completed.

Can Put on Exhibition.

The alleged garbage can in which
the soup or the SUM" known in
civil life as stew, is cooked was placed
on exhibition at the entrance to the
quartermaster's division, at Goth and
X streets 1t is . galvanized iron
receptacle holding about twenty gal
Ions. 1t is brightly polished and Col.
Adams said nothing would suit him
better than to take soup or other
food cooked in it.
Cali this a garbage cam" asked
Col. Adams. Could you find a clean
err or more wholesome receptacle for
food, whether it be in the form of
liquid or solid diet?'
Col. Adams said of course the can
could be used for garbage or ashes
but once they are so used they can
not again serve as u means of pre-
pairing human food. Every company
in every army at the front use such
receptacles for food purposes, but as
son as they are soiied they are devoted,
TO the less exalted service of ash and
garbage containers, Col. Adams eX-
planned.
As for the charge that the men are
not supplied with table linen and that
they must eat off bare boards. officers

SHONTS URGES FARE RAISE.
Wants New York Companies to
Charge Eight Cents in New York.

NEW YORK, January 3.-Theodore
p Shonts president of the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit COMPANY, ad-
dressed a letter to the municipal
authoritis Wednesday announcing
that the corporation faces bank
ruptcy unless it is permitted to
charge higher fares. He has followed
up this action with an appeal for the
New York Railways Company, sub
sidiary.
Mr.. Shonts declared that unless the
New York railways, which operates
more surface cars than any other
company in Manhattan, is allowed to
charge an eight-cent fare with 3
cents for transfers, it will be only a
short time before it has no funds to
continue Onerat ions.

Paul D. Cravath Says
That Camp Conditions at
BreSt Are Admirable

Conditions at the Army embarkation
camp at Brest are admirable. Paul D.
Cravath of New York city declared to-
day on his arrival here. Mr.. Cravath
said he had spent two days prior to
Christmas in the camp. and unofficial
~ had inspected it thoroughly
Regarding health conditions, he said
that in the six days preceding his visit
only three men had been admitted to
the hospital suffering from diseases
attributable to exposure or cold. Dur
ing that period total of 10000 men
were in the camp.
Brig. Gen. Smedley Butler Of the
Marine Corps, in command of the camp
has achieved remarkable results in the
short time at his disposal. Mr.. Cravath
believed. Acres of barracks have been
built and those men who still are in
tents are in every case under adequate
shelter and are warm and comfortable.
Several kitchens. each capable of feed
ing 1000 men per day, have been con-
structed. and work is in progress on a
comprehensive sewerage and drainage
system.

CORN TOUCHED HIGH PRICE OF THE SEASON IN HE GRAIN PIT
Oats Reversed and Closed Considerably Down, While the Provisions List Was
 Seesawing

Chicago. May 21.-Highest prices yet this season were touched in the corn market today for supplies available be- | verse weather and the scantiness of the crop movement gave force to the upward swing of the market. The close, nevertheless, was unsettled at bc to 1%c net higher, with July
 651s91.65A and September s1.5s1 F @15Sss. Oats finished sc to IA c down and provisions varying from COG decline to a rise of 15c.
 Corn showed decided strength during the greater part of the day. but reacted sharply in the last hour. Owing to the fact that the prevailing unreasonable low temperatures were bad for corn already planted and that further excess sive moisture indicated an additional shrinkage of receipts. the bulls met with but little resistance in lifting values. Purchasing. however, was overdone and a lack of support became
 evident after midday, when reports
 were current that efforts had been made to cancel large European orders for provisions.
 Realizing sales and hedging pressure
 weakened oats, despite temporary stimulus from overnight export busi-
 ness.
 In provisions the influence of the
 corn bulge was partly offset by late
 reports of sterling exchange demorai
 ization and by gossip about attempts
 to cancel important transatlantic or
 ders for meats and lard substitutes.

New York Futures.
New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, May 21.-The tendency in cotton today was to react from the long advance and there were periods when considerable selling pressure was felt. Offerings were mainly from liquidating longs bur. at times. mod erately heavy selling for short ac- count was felt At the lowest levels prices were 30 to Al points under the last quotations of yesterday; the close was 2S to 35 points under.
 Around the opening prices lost r to 23 points, but good support was met on this initial decline, and a recovery ensued, which did not stop until the trading months were II to 13 points higher than the close of yesterday The weekly crop reports from the gov ernment did not furnish anything new for either side to work on since their favorable and unfavorable features about balanced. Toward the middle of the day selling increased again and the market fell off to it's lowest, July trading from 29.53c down to 2S99c
 The undertone or the market was steadied by complaints of too much rain from some sections of the belt and by the continued account of $. large dry goods business in this coun- try. The quoting of spots 25 points up at 29SSc for middling, was something of a surprise

 The market opened steady at de- cline of 16 to 90 points in response to relatively easy cables with May show ing the maximum loss owing to the circulation of to notices There were good many overnight buying or ders which soon absorbed the sales. and the market rallied right after the sale of October selling at 2S.10 or [ points net higher
 Trade interests were buyers in ad- vance but the demand from that source was not active in the early market with the weekly report of the weather bureau, which was considered about a stand-of and the market broke again about the middle of the day October sold off to 27.66c under heavy realizing or liquidation and scattered southern decline, but the market met support at this level and ruled steadler late in the day on reports of a con
 tinued active spot demand in the south ern markets.
 The close showed rallies of about 12 to IS points from the lowest on the
 more active deliveries. Several pri- vate wires were received from the
 south reporting an active spot demand
 from both exporters and domestic buy
 CTS and one of the reports from Mem
 phis said this was the biggest de-

 the day. while there was some selling
