TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago. March 1o.--CoRN--Corn jumped
in price today mainly the result of a
statement by Director Hoover of the Inter
Allied relief organizations that there was
a possibility of the cost of wheat reaching
as high as $3.50 bushel. Besides, the big
snow fall ana warm temperatures pre-
vailing were said to have put county roads
into bad shape and to have made deliveries
from farms difficult Buying was a
large scale and the offerings limited. Open
ing prices, which ranged from sc to Sc
higher with May s1.33 to $1.34 and July
$1.275s to 1923 were followed by decided
further gains.
Bullish sentiment was Increased By the
allied agreement to feed Germany. Profit
taking however led to something of re-
action. The close was firm. 25sc to 412c
net higher with May s135ss to $L3513 and
OATS-Oats advanced sharply with corn.
After opening u to 1$sc higher with May
&c to 625sc,i the market continued to
ascend.

Supreme Commission Will

A New Plan Mapped Out for the

Paris, March 10-The supreme
economy commission is expected to re-
sumo conferences with the Germans
at Brussels Immediately.
The new plan mapped outaby the
supreme war council will, it is, be-
Iieved, be readily accepted by the en-
envy. This provides:
First, partial removal of the econ

Third, use of Germany's gold re-
serve, if money raised by other means
falls short of the amount needed.
No Breakdown by Allies:
This program, accurately forecast
Saturday, By the United Press, con-
stitutes no backdown by the allies. 1t
fits in completely with addltlonai
terms included in the armistice dur
ing January. Increasingly SERIOUS con-
ditions, in Germany threatening the
present government merely made i'm

In return for enactment of this pros
gram, which will enable the Germans
to purchase enough food to last until
the next harvest is available in Au-
gust, the enemy will be required to
turn over practically It's enClre neF-
ehant fleet. These ships, which will
be used largely in repatriating Ameri-
can and australian soldiers, will bring
back food supplies on their return
trips.
A report was circulated today that
Admiral Wemyss will preside at the
coming sessions of the economic coun-
ell, of which, Bernard Baruch and
Thomas Lamont are the American
members.
Pichon in a Statement.
Foreign Minister Pichon in his
weekly conference with correspond
ents said the allies recognized the ne
cessity of sending supplies into Ger
many, knowing that hunger would
breed disorder and act adversely to
the allies best interests. He said the
allies took the position that they were
ready to supply food and find the
necessary credits but that the Ger
mans must first declare themselves
ready to carry out the terms of the
armistice and hand over their ships.
Pichon said the union of German
Austria and Germany cannot be ac-
complished until it is ratified by the
peace conference. This, he said, was
doubtful.
The conference is making such rap
id progress, according to Pichon, that
definite conclusions probably will be
reached earlier than seemed possible
two weeks ago.

Americans Have Learned That Money
Not Working Is Mark of improv-

Americans" says a mar who has
read, studied and travelled widely, fire.
quently are accused ~r lacking the
habit Of saving. Comparisons, I'M
favorable to Americans, always are be.
ing made between the saving habits
of United States residents and those
of various European countries, notably,
France. Holland and Belgium. Now
admitting that many Of these accusa-
lions are true, the answer Is not far to
seek.
The people of France, Holland and
Belgium have saved, in large measure,
because saving is the century strength
ened habit Of their people. They have
saved because, money coming less
freely 10 them than to Americans,
their money.making opportunities be-
ing fewer. the stern necessity for max
ing provision for the future has been
sternly pressed upon them. And they
have saved also, perhaps In a far
greater degree than might generally be
suspected, because they have had

ment. The First Liberty Loan repre-.
scented practically the first general
American opportunity for investing in
government securities. When the
bonds Of that first issue had been pur.
chased, many of them through part
payments, countless American citizens
for the first time had tasted the joys
OF steady, systematic saving. The
second loan found them ready and
willing buyers, SO did the Third and
Fourth Liberty Loan issues. The Vic.
tory Loan met with the hearty ap,
prevail of the thoughtful small investor
who had learned the small savings
lesson thoroughly. Many a person
who prior to the First Liberty Loan
had never saved systematically, now
buy War Savings Stamps as regularly
as the weeks salary is paid.

The American people learned to bank

generous scale.
