Settlement of British Strike and
Lifting Of Embargo, with Hog
Advance, Are Factors.

Chicago, Oct. Corn rose in
price today owing largely to the
settlement of the British railway
strike and to the lifting Of restric-
tons on sailings from the United
States to British ports. Higher
quotations on hogs counted like
wise as strengthening factor. and
so too did the heavy rainfall of
Saturday and Sunday. Besides, Of
ferings were light. Opening prices,
which ranged from 1Ac to 21zc
higher, with December at 1851 to
26 and May at 1881 to 1.24, were
followed by only a moderate re-
action.

MERCER ASKED

FOR MEMORIAL
Plans Being Made for Vigorous
Campaign Oct. 2O-27 for
Roosevelt Fund.

Captain o. E. Carlstrom, county
chairman for the Roosevelt memoir
ial fund drive, has been notified by
DR.. W. E. Taylor of Moline, district
chairman, that Mercer county s
quota for the Fourteenth congress
sional district is $4,000 and the
sum of $4,000 is to be raised in
Rock Island county.
Mercer county hopes to raise the
sum assigned to it in the week OF
the drive, Oct. 20-27. Advance
plans call for a comprehensive
canvass. The schools will be used
to spread knowledge of the pur-
poses of the drive and to make
collections, as will the churches.
Captain Carlstrom has interviewed
the county superintendent of
schools, the ministers of the coun-
ty, and heads of fraternal organi-
cations.
Americanism will be emphasized
in the campaign in the schools for
the week. Each subscriber will be
given a Roosevelt certificate. 1t is
desired to have as many contribut-
ors as possible.
Last week a. drive for the SaI-
walton Army home service fund
was conducted, Captain Carlstrom
being chairman of this undertaking
also. The county's quota of 81 400
was nearly reached and it is ex-
pected the balance will be made up
before tomorrow night. Only two
townships failed to make their
quota and they will do so before
they have finished, the chairman is
confident.

Grain Opinions.
Harris winthrop - Interest in
oats futures continues largely local
and prices are easily affected, fluc-
tuating rapidly within a compare
tive narrow range.
Hulburd Warreu-Country ad-
vices indicate reluctance on the
part of country holders to sell on
the break
W. G. Press-Favorable weather
for the movement of new corn is
what the bears need.
Logan & Bryan-Trend of values
during the coming week will in our
opinion be governed largely by tbs
attitude of producers, climatic con
ditions and action of cash markets.
Lamson Bros.-The pressure of
new corn is expected to be an effec-
tual damper on bull enthusiasm.
Bennett-Oats in a strong posi-
ton and we believe should be
bought on all setbacks.
