"Die In the Last Ditch"

ITO die in the last ditch" has be-
come one OF the commonplaces Of
proverbial philosophy. The words
were originally used by William OF
Orange during the Dutch war Of in
dependence, when be was asked II he
did not see that the common wealth
was ruined Il shall! never see the
ruin of my country" replied the
prince, stoutly. Il shall die in the
last ditch" Animated by such a
spirit and led by such leader, It is
not to be wondered that the tide soon
turned and that the necessity for such
heroic measures never arose. ,

VALUES ON CHICAGO MARKET
,FLucTuATE ABSENCE OF
sTAsIlklNG FACTORS.
EARLY STRENGTH DUE
TO EVENING UP TRADES
Unssttlins Effect Because Of uncer'
tsinty Regarding Government Hog
Prices For February-Changes in
Oats Depend on Fluctuations in Corn
Provisions Follow Course Of Grains

Chicago, Jan. lS,--Wcek end evening
up by shorts brought about temporary
strength today in the corn market.
When this demand was satisfied. how
ever. prices tended to sag. Uncertainty
in regard to whether the present gov
eminent minimum value for hogs
would be maintained in February had
an unsettlinG effect. Opening prices,
which varied from unchanged figures
to Ia cent. higher. with February at
sl33a 10 sl.344. We're followed by
slight advances all around and then q
decline to below yesterdays finish.
Scantiness " country offerings was
a factor in .Allying the market some,
what at ti.hss. The close. ncverthe-
less. was unsettled at the same as yes
terday's finish to 1'2 cents lower. with
February at Sl33ls to $780, and My
at $l.3Sss to Sl2SIe
Oats.
Changes in oats appeared TO depend
nearly altogether on the fluctuations
Of corn. After opening unchanged 10
y cent off with May at 6Sh to 6Si4
the market scored a moderate advance,
but then fell back
Provisions.
Provisions followed the same course
as grain. The best demand was toy
ribs. Breaks in prices led TO fair buy
ing on the part of cash interests, and
there were consequent rallies.
