In connection with the new fuel
developed by the company's chemists,
Horatio S. Rubens. chairman of the
board OF directors, declared yesterday
that It is a substitute for gasoline which
he Is confident will prove a high success.
Outlining the steps taken by the com

We determined before the United
States entered the war that We ought
to be able to do things along the lines
of performance of the Germans In the
chemical field About September, 1916,
We founded for research for the Indus
trial Alcohol Company a laboratory and
we engaged as its head Prof. NJ. G.

been professor of industrial chemistry at
Columbia University. We have at Curtis

Mr.. Rubens explained that prohibition
had practically nothing TO do with the
company's searching for new worlds to
conquer. He pointed out that the
alcohol sold by the company for max
ing spirituous beverages was of negli-
glhle quantity. On the other hand, he
said. the company had increased Its ca

powder during the war and that 1t real

GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, April Corn shot s,.yward
In price to-day TIC. a bushel, impelled
chiefly by announcement that owing to
scarcity OF wheat for liberated European
countries the Food Administration would
purchase corn -four and other substitutes
and that other neutral countries buying
In the United states would be debarred
from acquiring wheat OF -four.
Trading in corn was on q big scale
and there was a nervous close at 4%c. to
6Ac. net advance, with May sl.57js to
S1.5Iia and July s145ai to S146. Oats
gained 2isc. 20 2Isc.. and provisions soc.
to ST.
In the face OF general rush for
ownership of corn holders refused to sell
until all high price records for tho
present crop had been far excelled. Then
heavy realizing OF profits led to some
thing OF reaction in values. but new
waves OF buying orders carried the mar
ket higher than at first.
The extreme advance was In the Nav
delivery, although during the first part
OF the day the September option had
shown relatively the most strength. Big
TSice increases on rye and barley were
decided additional bullish factors. Those
grains were hoisted not only by export
demand but also as result of the
municipal election in Chicago. The cleo
ton outcome was by many traders re-
garded as n blow TO prohibition and as
likely therefore to enlarge the domestic
demand for both barley and rye.
Upturns In provisions were stopped
only by the maximum limit Reasons
for the bulge lay in the strength OF corn
and hogs.
