CHICAGO GRAIN.
By JOSEPH F. PRITCHARD.

Chicago, Jan. Io.-NIuch dissatisfaction exists
in the corn market on the Chicago Board OF
Trade. The removal of restrictions against
the bringing in CT Argentine com 10 the
United States ports and the accompanying sen.
sationsl price losses, because Of the warn
restrictions by the War Board. are the causes
Of dissensiOns.
A message was received from the seaboard
today saying that one Of the larger exporting
concerns has been given permission Of the ad-
miuistration to offer Argentine corn and to
quote the same at sI.331i at Atlantic or Gull
ports This corn was offered TO be delivered
at any Atlantic port at S.37 c i. {.
The action of the market in the corn pit
today showed that shorts were eager to re-
place much Of the that was sold Thurs
day. Tne January was hammered down from
N45l5 to SL+l4 and from the later price
it bulged upward to s.44l5. February sold
of from H.40l4 to N.4 and reacted to and
closed at Sl3S5s and Sl39h.
Tha March future ranged from Sl33E up to
3s5s and under heavy profit taking sales de
ciined to and closed at Sl.5lza&.
The more deferred months acted in SYM
pathy with the nearby futures. The net gains
for the day were as much at Sal&, although
the January and July futures were unchanged
TO &c higher. Cash sales Of corn amounted
to 1000 bushels with prices la2c lolwer
There were no advances in the oats mar
Eet OF lbalA for the nerby months and kaIc
in the deferred. The cash market was active
with a total business of 5000 bushels for
domestic use.

NEW SPAPE kS FACING SERIOUS
SITUATION

The print paper situation in the
United States is causing the publisher,
great and small, no end of worry.
There is an ever increasing shortage
of wood pulp; the coming of the war
increased the print paper demand
while the output has been decreased.
From the present outlook there will
be many periodicals forced to suspend
before the end of 1920. Six years ago
one could buy all the print paper de-
sired for $4S.00 per ton. Last Fri
days quotations in, New York were
$24O per ton, and the end is not in
sight.
The Sunday editions of the big met
ropolitan papers are the worst Offend
ers in the paper wastage. For ex-
ample, week ago last Sunday a sim
gle copy of the Chicago tribune weigh
ed three pounds. Seven hundred
thousand copies were printed, making
a total consumption of 100000
pounds for single issue.
The so-called feature pages, the
colored supplements and large am
cunt of the society rot played up in
the average Sunday edition could very
well be eliminated and would go a
long way toward solving the print
paper problem.
/ When the American congress pass
ed the Canadian reciprocity bill few
years ago this measure carried a rid
er admitting Canadian wood pulp free
into the United States. The Canad-
ians rejected the Reciprocity measure
but the wood pulp rider remained.
This resulted in two of the very 'larg-
est print paper making mills changing
their plants over into book paper max
ing plants. During the war period
no new paper mills, were erected.
In the six years the present pub
Usher has owned the Herald, labor
costs have increased over 100 per
cent and paper has increased from 3
TO cents per pound. In this period
advertising rates have been increased

QUESTIONS FOR SOCIALISTS
BY F. G. r. Gordon

If. under socialism, each worker re-
ceived the full amount of his toll, that
is. the full value of the entire produc-
ton, who would pay the non-produc-
tive workers?
Will there be two or four times as
many school teachers as there are at
present, and who will pay them?
Will the BARRIERS increase from AGO.
600 to 100000 because every man
will have shave a day? And if so
who will pay for such non-productive
labor?
Z If we socialize the railways and es-
tablish a four-hour work day as the
socialist leaders claim, we will have
to employ nearly 100000 more men
than are employed at present, without
any increase in wealth production.
Who will pay this extra cost of 100000
900 to 100000 day?
If we are to carry out the socialist
slogan to the toiler the full product
of his toll, will it not require million
boards of arbitration and three mill
lion experts to see to it that hours
and skill of each worker are kept,
to the end that the nation will not rob
one set of workers while paying too
much to another set?
Who but the wealth producers will
pay for all this extra cost, and all this
red tape? Or will you socialists pay
all alike, pay the highly skilled ex-
actly the same income as the slowest
and most unskilled? Pay the director
of great plant like the Bethlehem
Iron Works the. same wage as the man
who holds the hose pipe to wet the
ground or the man who is working
over red-hot steel? 4
If you pay all alike you throw over
board your socialist slogan and if
you don't do this you will burden la
Dor so extensively that the net income
of each worker would be less than six
dollars a week. Tell us how, you
are to do these things Mr.. Socialist?
