WEEKLY PROVISION
AND GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, Oct. Anxiety as to
the effect of Argentina seeking TO
dispose of surplus corn to puu-
rchasers in the United States in
stead of Europe has doomed into
sight this week as the dominating
factor in the corn market here
Largely as result, prices this
morning compared with a week ago
were &c to 11sc lower whereas
oats showed gains of 1c to 13sc-
Net changes for the week in provis-
ions varied from Csc decline TO
$3.50 advance.
Severe disappointment on the
part of Argentina corn growers,
who had been expecting outlet 10
Europe was chiefly responsible for
big breaks in Argentine quotations
and for offerings to New York at
prices greatly under the values
which of late been current Lack of
adequate shipping facilities to Eu-
rope from Argentina had much to
do with defeating Argentine hopes
of liberal business with Europe.
Predictions that banking arrange
ments would soon be completed for
European commercial credits in
the United States had only tran
sient stimulating effect but Presi-
dent wilson's illness received
more and more attention as a
weakening influence on values.
Export call for France. Italy and
Scandinavia put strength into the
oats market.
Packers selling to central Eu-
rope on six months credit tended
to make prices average high.

CHICAGO CAR LINE
APPEALS RULING
ON BOOSTED FARE

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 4.-Attor-
news for the Chicago surface lines
appeared in the Sangamon county
circuit court this morning and filed
a formal motion of appeal from the
decision yesterday of Judge E. s.
Smith, reversing the order Of the
public utilities commission, which
granted a 7-cent fare to Chicago
surface lines.
AIter argument on the moti0a
had been made, Judge Smith ad-
journed court until 1880 p. m. with
the announcement that he would
give a decision at that hour.
Reversal of the commission s
order permitting the fare increase
was due to the fact, as stated in
Judge Smiths opinion yesterday,
that the city of Chicago was not
permitted to offer evidence intend
ed to show tina THE 7-cent fare was
unjustifiable.
Attorneys for the company n
their arguments commended that
since the case was remanded for
further hearings, the 7-cent fare
should be allowed to stand pending
final disposition.
