CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago,l Dec. 12.-Anxiety to even up trades so as to avoid any surprise in the government crop report rallied the corn market today from benrish of fleets of disturbed financial conditions. The close however, was unsettled, ranging from 3-4c net decline to Il like advance, Jalluary 1.35 to 1.3J IS and May 1.32 to 1.32 IT. Oats finished half cent off to q gain fa shade. In provisions the outcome varied from five cents loss to rise of 4J cents.
 Corn at first underwent q decided setback chiefly as Il result of sympathy with New York stock market weakness. Continued record breaking tumble of foreign exchange rates tended to In. crease bearlsh sentiment, and so like wise did liberal receipts of corn. Sell ing was overdone, and in view of the fact that the government. report was to be issued soon after the close ot trading operations here, the majority of dealers found themselves in competi- ton as buyers during the last hour.
 Oats were governed by the fluctua. tions of corn.
 Acute weakness of foreign exchange made the provision market sag, but the rally ill corn operated later as an offset

Fuller Knowledge
 of Our Institutions Needed, Says Wilson

New York, Dec. 12.-The cur, for social unrest in this country is "a fuller knowledge of American institutions" declares Presiden1 Wilson in an article written fol
 the current number of the Inde
 pendent.
 "Men today are blessed with g
 new curiosity about their govern
 ments," says the president. "Ev- anywhere they are demanding that the doors behind which secret poli- cies have been incubated be thrown open and kept open hence forth. The doors that do not respond to the keys the people hold will be battered down and free passage ways erected in their stead.
 "Autocratic governments of the past have lived by concealment free governments must live by understanding. In the new day that is dawning only those gov ernments that have no secrets from their peoples can long en- dure. do not say that such a will make no mis- takes but I do say mistakes will be fewer and more easily correct ed when all governments are guid- ed by well informed public opin- ion.
 Unrest is evident everywhere turnout the world. It is not of itself a disease, but symptom of disease. In our own country the disease lies principally outside the government. Those who think otherwise are mostly the newcomers and the men they have influenced. The cure for their disquiet is a fuller knowl- edge of American institutions. In this nation the people have in their ballots the instruments of pea> eful change"

Re markable prices have been realized from the sale of pictures and jew els. The total aggregated the equivalent of $1,277,70O.
 Most notable among the paint lngs was that of the "Beckworth Children" by Romney which brought $260,0O0.
 Other prices were S24 900 for the Charles II oak balustrade; $15.0OO for the panelling in the old state dining room, and $9,750 for the seventeenth century oak panelline of the picture gallery.
 The black marble stircase which consists of q double flight of steps and a gallery failed to find pur- chaser.
 The palace stands in the heart of the Lanarkshire coal mining dis trict, inlmortalized by Scott in one of his most spirited ballads. It was built in 1922 to 1929 and one of it's marvels was a portico of monoiith Corinthian columns which were copied from the Tenn pie of Vespasian at Rome. The foundations of the palace have be- come so affected by time that it was found necessary to dismantle the historic edifice.
