WEEKLY PROVISION
AND GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, H., June IA. - Crop
scares and diminishing receipts
have made corn prices this week
run up to a new top level for the
season. Compared with a week
ago. values in the corn market this
morning were 2Ac to 612c higher,
and oats showed gains of 11zc@
1Ssc to 3Ac. At the same time
provisions had risen 42c to $500.
Bullish sentiment which devel.
oped in the corn market was
checked for a while by the re-
establishment of the 100000 bushel
limit as the maximum Of trading
for any single interest. Federal
sererve banking officials efforts to
restrain undue speculation counted
temporarily as a bearish influence.
At this juncture, however, dtsquiet-
ing crop reports, together with ey-
idence OF a falling off in the ar
rival of supplies, turned the mar
kets strongly upgrade. Excessive
moisture formed one Of the prin-
cipal sources of the anxiety that
led to many bullish estimates on
crop losses and there was an un-
usual broadening out OF demand
which was further stimulated by
nearly continuous ascent OF the
hog market.
Uneasiness over the crop outlook
stirred up activity and strength
in oats as well as in corn.
High records were broken again
and again by lard. Other provis-
ions mounted swiftly. too. vita

AMERICAN AND
BRITISH FLYERS
START ACROSS
Vickers Vimy Graf t
Leaves ST. Johns On
Trip to England.

st. Johns, n. F., June a.
The Vickers-Vimy biplane

noon, Greenwich time.
The Vickers-Vimy machine
carried two men, Captain Jack
Alc0ck, Britisher as pilot,
and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten

today has a wing spread of only
81 feet and is equipped with two
35O-horse power ROlls-Royce
motors, said to be capable of devel-
oping a speed of more than one
hundred miles an hour. The ca
pacity of the gasoline tanks was
recently enlarged to S65 gallons
and the lubricating oil tanks to
so gallons, which is believed suffi-
cient to carry the plane 2,440 miles,
under normal weather conditions
A wireless telegraphy set capable
of sending and receiving messages
over comparatively long distances,
is part of the planes equipment.

certificates in 1912 and joined the
Royal Naval Air service immediate
ly upon the outbreak of the war

later captured by the Turks and
held prisoner until the armistice
was signed.

RESUME WAR
in WEEK IF
FOE REFUSES
Present Treaty Monday
With Two Days to Sign
and 3-Day Grace.

Paris, June 14.-By the Associ-
ated Press The council Of five
continued the work of editing the
revised peace treaty this morning.
at the same time enabling Baron
Maxine, the japanese representa-
tive, to acquaint himself with the
document The work is nearly
completed ana It is believed that
the treaty will go to the revision
committee late tonight. 1t is said
that it will be printed and ready
for delivery to the Germans Mon
day or Tuesday.
May Resume War by June 21.
Confidence was expressed to-
night by the British, French and
American delegations to the peace
conference that the reply to the
German counter proposals will be
completed and delivered to the
Germans Monday, with a provision
that the Germans will be given two
days in which to answer. With
three days Of grace before the ar
be a resumption of hostilities Sat
urday, June 81, if the Germans re-
fuse to sign.
1t is the present plan of the
council to renew consideration of
the Austrian terms Monday. Rep
resentatives of Turkey will be re-
ceived Tuesday.
If no other developments arise,
President Wilson probably will
make his trip to Brussels between
Wednesday and the expiration of
the German time limit.
Modify Labor Proviso.
Some notifications were made by
the council yesterday in the labor
covenant in the peace treaty.
The existing labor situation in
various countries, coupled with
clear German tactics, had resulted
in this part of the treaty becoming
one of the principal points of at
tack in the counter proposals. The
situation caused a lengthy discus
sion which resulted in certain mod
ifications in the convention. The
allied reply to the German pro-
posals, it developed today, will lay
particular stress upon the charac-
ter of the permanent reparations
commission. 1t will be explained
to the Germans that this commits
sion is not a tyrannical body, but
that it will administer its duties in
a spirit of fairness and helpfulness,
so as to facilitate Germany's eco
nomic reconstruction.
Short Time Due to Germans.
1t is learned that the short time
limit given Germany for a reply is
largely due to the Germans them
selves. They are understood to
have said they would not require
more than five days to reach de-
cision. (Friday nights dispatches
said only two days would be given
for the answer, with three days of
grace before the arTnistice was sus-
pended in the event of a German
refusal to sign).
While reports from Germany on
the prospects of Germany's signing
the treaty are lacking in clarity, it
is known that the council is acting
on the belief that there is no gen.
eral feeling on the part of the
masses against Germany's accept
ance of the terms. An air of optim-
ism pervades the council in this
respect.
