BEARISH TONE
STILL FELT IN
PRICE OF CORN
Downward Trend Continues to
Dominate Markey-Weather and
Price War Are Causes,

Chicago, H., Aug. 12.-Bearish
sentiment continued to dominate
the corn market today except as to
the September delivery. Anxiety
of shorts in that month as to the
meagerness of arrivals gave a de-
cided uDturn to September. On the
other hand railroad labor Difficult
ties and the developments in the
movement to combat the high cost
of living had a weakening inf1u-
May deliveries Opening quotations
which ranged from the same as
yesterdays finish to 1asc lower,
including September, 1904 to 1.91,
and December, 1.52 to 1-53, were
followed by advances for Septem-
Der and by feeble rallies in the new
crop months.
Trade lacked volume, especially
in the September option, which to-
ward the last receded somewhat
after immediate demand from
shorts had been relieved The mar
ket closed unsettled. nc net lower
to &c advance, with September,
and December, 1.52H
to 1.53.
Scattered buying made the oats
market comparatively firm. After
opening ~ off to &c up, includ-
ing September at 7441a to 74Ac,
the market sagged little and then
rose to above yesterdays finish.
There was virtually no business
in provisions Sharply higher
on hogs discouraged
buyers and made sellers extremely
cautious.

from the state examining board
Three who applied for first grade
certificates all failed to qualify. All
records were broken by the high

This years list of applicants and

education has advanced and its
PRONUNCIATION requiring more and
more instructors is shown when 10
is considered that in 1914, when
the exams were begun, only two
applicants took it and neither
passed. Since then the number de-
string teachers certificates has
grown steadily So also has the
number TO be successful, until last

power and general uneasiness
helped the ease in grain. The corn
is losing its fear of hot spells.
There is more optimism as to a
fairly large crop. The public may
consider that the attack on living
costs is too Vigorous.
: Kansas received rains that were
Required and later on her temper
ature ran 100. Otherwise, the corn
belt was cool and a big crop i'll
Nebraska is assured.
The rail situation is a guess.
Over most of the roads the shop
men have not returned to work.
This suggests strangled grain sales
to the east.
The strong hog price remains
menace to corn sellers. Some fig
ure a very liberal final premium
for December over May corn. If
corn and OTIS work lower before
1920, fair to liberal rally is in
dictated.
Corn weaker on opening on cool
weather and rains, living cost

sold on the bulge. Ware and Lee
land and Jackson Bros. sell corn.
Local professionals also selling.

ing that the Connecticut senator
gave the impression by his question
that he didn't believe Japan &C
guessed in Americas viewpoint
that special interest" excluded po-
litical rights.
1t was here, too, that the sena-
tors asked Secretary Lansing his
views on the Monroe doctrine He
insisted that it was not an asser-
ton of paramountcy'' by the Unit
ed States in the southern republics
but policy voluntarily announced
by US to prevent other powers from
interfering in the affairs of the 9TH
er countries in this hemisphere.
Mr.. Lansing told ViscOunt Ishii that
the United States did not claim
paramount interest" herself in the
western hemisphere. but sought to
prevent others from interfering in
the self-development of the Central
and South American countries.
Senator Fall dissented from this
Interpretation. Senator John Sharp
Williams got into a historical de-
bate with the New Mexico senator
and everybody joined in. Finally
Chairman Lodge had to rap for or
der. and Senator Borah remarked
with a smile that there hadn't been
any misunderstanding about the
Monroe doctrine up. to six months
ago. Secretary Lansing couldn't
help tossing in a little observation
that the senators themselves seem
ed to be at odds over what It
meant.
Reveals Eastern Diplomacy.
The discussion was academic to
be sure, but the revelation of what
japan said to the United States and
what Secretary Lansing said to the
Japanese mission will prove an in
teresting contribution to the rela-
tions between the two countries,
for Secretary Lansing's testimony
becomes a matter of public record.
To that extent the senate foreign
relations committee has accom-
plished something constructive in
the diplomacy involving far east
ern problems.
