For "a years hardware merchant
OF tho city OF Aledo.
That is the record OF W. X. Wells,
who as senior member of the firm
Of Wells & Carroll, hardware deal
ers, may terminate n successful
hardware career upon removal from
the present quarters OF the firm
which has been purchased by the
Tfmes-Record Publishing company.
Mr.. Wells and Mr., Carroll have
until Jan. l to vacate. Whether
either will continue the business at
another location is doubtful. The
senior partner, with his brother. J.
a. Wells, founded the hardware
store here just 24 years ago. The
concern fiourished under their man
agement, but ]. A. finally withdrew,
giving way TO c. 2 Carroll about
nine years ago. Since that time il

Exports will be handled so as to
prevent shortage. Retail profits
will be checked up. Europe is al
ready moving to complete system
Of price control His remarks on
the League of Nations as a factor
in prices are regarded as absolute
ly out of place and incorrect. Many
newspapers sense the situation
very serious and far beyond any
question of supply and demand.
Excess profits and high prices have
become a CHASTITY disease Statis-
tics are trOdden under foot. The
president does not mention the
grain exchange specifically but he
outlines return of much OF the
old control. Obviously this cost
row and the demand for conserva-
ton must prove some kind of
weight on the market. The corn
belt was dry and cool yesterday
outside Of some heat in parts of the
southwest. Rail shopmen are re-
turning and evidently expect an in
crease. About $4,000 men are out
at the stock yards. The govern
ment report looks friendly to oats
and neutral on corn The wheat
figures may have to be further re-
duced.
Corn and oats opened higher on
favorable rail labor news, belief
that the Aug. s report helps cur
rent levels and no sign of any spe-
cial attention to grain exchange.
Confirmation United States
wheat losses, small Chicago re-
ceipts, a moderate oats crop re-
port, renewed talk of dry in half
the corn belt or absence of any re-
marks on the grain exchanges have
encouraged buying side. The stu
alton is mixed. Grain receipts are
piling up at outside points and a
series of profiteering laws are
booked for next week. A Monday
bulge and Tuesday break might
cover the weakened outlook.

SHARP GAIN IN
PRICE OF CORN
DUE TO DAMAGE
Government Report Showed Crop
Conditions Worse Than Sup
pOsed-AdVance Follows.

Chicago, Aug. 9. Government
estimates indicating more severe
damage to grain in the last month
than was generally supposed, led to
a sharp advance today in corn. In
Guiding the corn crop, the aggre-
gate loss during July was figured at
rs per cent Opening quotations,
which ranged from q to 21zc high
er with September 1892 to $I92H
and December S152 to $1.53, were
followed by decided gains all
around.
Despite some reactions due to
profit-taking by holders, the market
in the later dealings rose higher
than before. Prices closed strong,
at 4c to Csc net advance, with Sep
TENDER $1941z to $1.941a, and De-
cember at Sissy to $1.57.
Oats assembled with corn. After
opening unchanged to 1c higher, in
Guiding September 7412 to 74%c,
the market continued to rise.
Provisions were strengthened by
the bulge in grain. Trading, how
ever, lacked volume.

which in Mr.. Wilson's opinion gives
the world a new bass for interna-
tiona1 cooperation that affects not
merely it's political life but its &c
onom1c processes.
The president weaves together the
situation abroad with the problems
at home. To him they seem to have
a definite connection. Europe has
been counted upon by American
producers to buy heavily of Amer
lean goods. Heavy drains on Amer
ican stocks would mean of course a
shortage and export trade inevitably
boosts American prices. It was to
prevent Europe from bidding
against the American consumer and
forcing the price of wheat to soar
that the United States government
established a food administration
and bought up the export crop for
Resale to Europe at q flxed price.
And the price OF one basic COM
modify has been reflected in the
price OF other goods.
Must Control World Credit.
America is expected to make PR
vate loans to Europe to finance
her purchases in this country. A
situation in which the United States
would furnish the money to Europe
wherewith the latter would act as
bidder against the American con-
sumer is in prospect unless credit
can be controlled and foreign pur-
ehasea supervised and regulated,
Economic operation has long
been sought by England and France
to get On their feet, the new states
of Europa, like Czeehe-6iovakia and
Poland which need raw materials
and need also money with which
to purchase them from America.
President Wilson believes the So
luton lies in international ceopera-
ton of peoples and governments
and that anything which tends to
inject uncertainty and unrest pre-
vents an orderly rehabilitation of
the worlds trade and business.
He viii Act and Senate Must,
Executive action is therefore |
planned by legislation and above all !
action by the senate on the peace
treaty is sought by President Will !
son to avert suffering in America !
and to help the world to its feet aft |
pr the most terrible and most de- |
structive war in history.

WEEKLY PROVISION
AND GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, Ill, Aug. 9.-Whirlwind
changes of prices extending to be-
wildering limits and accompanied
by alternate general stampedes by
sellers to purchase have made this
week on the board of trade as full
OF excitement as an equal period
during the world war. The strain
WAS spverest Immediately before
and after the decision reached by
President Wilson and National
Wheat Director Julius Barnes that
the government would not be justi-
fed in selling the 1919 wheat crop
at q sacrifice to be met from the
federal treasury. Compared with
a week ago. the corn market rang
ed in price this morning from ia c
decline to &c advance, oats were
off $3.50 to $500.
Widening agitation against high
cost of necessities kept the corn
market on the dOwngrade until
holders of all grain and provisions
were in a state Of semi-panic.
There had been a shrinkage of 32c
per bushel in the price Of corn.
Frantic selling stopped the moment
safter the announcement of the
government policy as to wheat,
not to be altered except for -four
for domestic use. Railroad strike
troubles which TO q large degree
brought the movement OF cereals
TO a halt were responsible for some
Of the subsequent tension in the
corn market.
In the oats, the governing fac
tors were nearly identical with
those which ruled corn.
The provision trade was all but
paralyzed By race riots and the de-
Yelopment of the campaign against
high prices,
