GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. June 28.-Actual signing
of the peace treaty failed outright
today to influence the corn market.
Instead prices were ruled by the ne
cessity of m%onth-end liquidation on
the part. of holders Of July contracts.
This liquidation had a depressing ef-
feet on the market as a. whole, the
treaty signing having been anticipated
long before hand. Opening prices
which varied from 1-S off to 1-2c adj
vance with September $1.75 ga to 7-s
and December $1.53 1-2 to ga were
followed by a slight general .upturn
and then by a setback all around to
well below yesterdays finish. s.
Oats were dull and weak with corn.
After opening unchanged to 1-4c low
err including September at .6S rs to
CSC, the market hardened a trile and
then turned sharply downgrade.
Provisions held steady. Higher
quotations on hogs together with as
sertions that export trade would, be
enlarged were against any decline.
In the last part Of the session rail-
lies took place al a result, of covering
by shorts. The market closed UNI
settled, SIS cents net lower to 3-S
cents advance, with September

Turn Back Tourists
Who Sought Liquor
Across Mexican Line

EI Paso. Texas, Dec. 26.-Hun-
dreds of El Pasonans and tourists
who planned to visit Juraez, Mex
leo, where liquor of all kinds can be
bought, were turned back yesterday
at the international bridge between
the two cities.
No temporary one-day passports
were issued and the only persons al
lowed to cross the Rio Grande were
those holding permanent passports
giving permission to enter Mexico on
Sundays and holidays.
Whisky and tequila, a Mexican
drink, could be had at prices vary
ing from So to SIS a quart here from
"bootleggers' if the seeker was
known to be "all right" Prices on
the contraband liquor had risen
sharply in price the last few days
because of four deaths due to shoot
ing affrays connected with whisky
smuggling.
Mexican fiscal guards Wednesday
captured a quantity of liquor that
was being started across the inter-
national boundary for Christmas
sale. They said at prevailing prices
the liquor would have brought $20,-
600 on the American side. 1t is eX-
pected to be sold by the Mexican
customs service for $4,000.
Juarez saloonkeepers and cafe
proprietors had prepared for a ban
ner Christmas day. So, too, had the
gambling casino, but their hopes
were dashed when the American
authorities refused to keep the port
open yesterday and issue temporary
passports.

must come to an end, and the Gov
ernment be given u fair chance to
compel a return to normal profits.
President Jewell and the executive
council of the six shop crafts re-
Gently renewed their demands. They
were asked to await an official report
by Attorney General Palmer, since
made public of the trend of prices.
Mr.. Palmer's report showed that
the customary upward march of
prices during the fall months had
been much less this year than in the
past and expressed the conviction
that the next two months would
show substantial results in reducing
the imitation of living costs. The cost
of living question, therefore, still is
unsettled in the minds of high Gov
ernment officials and will not be set
tied until after Government control
of the rail system has expired. 1t
remains to be seen what view the
President and the Director General
will take of the shopmen's renewed
demands for more money in the
light of the Attorney Generals state
ment
1t is understood the shopworkers
We're represented to be growing rest
less over the lack of action on their
demands.
Demands of railroad clerks for
more money now are before the
board of railway wages and working
conditions, which has not indicated
when a report to the Director Cen
eral may be expected.
Extension of the time of Federal
control will necessitate the placing
of additional contracts by the Rail-
road Administration, inasmuch as
purchases up to this time generally
have been for delivery up to the end
of the year. Some rails and ties will
have to be bought, also other ma
terials for maintenance work.
Orders by Mr.. Hines for an inven-
tory of materials on hand as of Jan
uary l will be changed to have the
inventories as of March 1. The in
formation will be used in settling ac-
counts with the roads.

CHAPTER V

Copyright, 1919, Star Coz
The day on which Hugh Rodney
was to start for Minneapolis came
all too quickly for the engaged pair.
OF course. Hugh had spent his
last evening in New York at the
Courtney house. But he had also
promised to stop to say farewell to
Doris on his way to the train the
following morning.
Doris paced the library restlessly
for half-hour before her be-
trothed appeared. When at last she
saw the Rodney car draw up at the
curb she hurried to the front door
before the caller could ring.
Come right into the library" she
commanded.
Hugh had only q few minutes in
which to say good-by He took the
girl into his arms and kissed her
fervently.
DO not cry, darling" he begged
as the tears came to her eyes. 1T
will not be very long before we will
be together again"
81 feel as if | could not stand the
separation" Doris declared, cling
ing to him. "Oh, Hugh shall be
so lonely!"
He was not accustomed to seeing
women cry, and it unnerved him.
He thought suddenly of Ruth. He
would feel easier if she were with
Doris when he left. He would
rather leave his. beloved with her
calm, self controlled sister than
with her more emotional mother.
"Ruth!" he called, stepping to the
foot of the stairs.
Ruth Courtney, passing through
the upper hall, heard his voice and
hurried down. She knew he would
not summon her at this juncture
unless he had something important
to tell her.
"Oh, my dear" Hugh said, hold
ing out his hand to her as she
entered the library, 81 must get
right off, for my train leaves at
II. But I would be more COM
Portable about Doris if you will
promise to keep an eye on her. I
am sure you will tell me if she is
not well-or anything" he finished,
lamely.
The sister replied promptly. 'of
course, l will. But Doris is going
to be well and happy in the thought
of your return. SO do not worry
about that
Parting Condolences
His financee walked away from
the pair and stood gazing down
into the open fire on the hearth.
Hugh lowered his voice.
YOU must understand, Ruth,
what this parting means for both
