GRAIN DEMAND ABROAD

CHICAGO. March s3.-Big upward
swings in the value of corn have
taken place this week with an i'm

week ago the corn market this
morning showed gains Of SAC to lie,
oats were up 4%c to 6hc, and pro-
visions at an advance of SIC to
$1.42.
Prospective increase of European
demand for foodstuffs acted as an
fnim ediate stimulus to the corn
market, and with much greater effect
than might otherwise have been the
case. inasmuch as no adequate
supply was readily available to de-
prices yet this season resulted owing
partly to wet weather, which ham,

domestic crop movement. Increased
shipments from Argentina led after

bearish sentiment. but were more

demand for rye and barley. and by
serious renewed labor, troubles in
Argentina which promised to make
competition from there be again OF
lessened importance.
Relative cheapness as compared
with corn gave independent strength
to oats.

States Attorney Bouic made it plain
in his argument that X was the de-
sire Of the state not only to have
the state commission express ITS
opinion as to Bowling's present mem
tai condition, but to use the members
OF the commission as alienists to
prove that the defendant was sane at
the time the crime was committed.
The motion was opposed by Bow

and Glen L. TAFT OF Washington,
and charles w, Prettyman OF Rock

States Attorney Bouie would be un-
