Non remain bull leaders.
t the banquet to Julius Barnes,
most of the grain men regarded
corn and oats as a long distance
purchase. Barnes declared against
price fixing and in favor OF a free
and open 1920 wheat crop, though
be states that moves are on TO
control the price. At St. Louis Mr..
Barnes apparently limited that all
grain restrictions may be removed.
aThere are, however, no details to
offer beyond the warning that re-
etrictions on exports and imports
may be removed. This would ad-
nit Canadian wheat. There are no
signs of any change in the 100000
lots OF corn and there is no evil
dence of any change in govern
mental sentiment regarding living
costs. Mr.. Barnes, however, last
night warned grain sellers of a
revival IN Europe that would un-
doubtedIy threaten United States
prosperity. A change must result
and we should prepare In this
connection he estimated 81 per
cent of the United States popula-
ton as dependent on and living
near the farms. His remarks on
foreign payments for our foods in
gold suggested utter financial pow
erty in half of Europe and need OF
great United States credits.

HEROIC WORK OF
ARMY NURSES IS
TOLD IN REPORT

Washington. Oct. 17.-That army
nurses who served overseas with
the American forces during the
war had thei: share of service and
suffering is shown in the final re-
port on the activities corps, made
by Miss Julia c. Stemson, acting
director who headed the army
nursing service abroad.
Between May s, 1917, and May
81, 1919. 10,254 nurses out of a
total of 21,4SO enlisted for the war
saw overseas service. Three were
wounded in action and /26S died
while on duty.
The real work of the American
women commenced July IS. 1918,
with their own army when the
final German attack was stemmed
and the great victorious allied Of
fensive started.
From July Is to Nov. II the
amount of work done was such
that no praise would be great
enough" Miss Stemson said. 1T
was not at all uncommon for
nurses to work II to Is hours
day for weeks at a time. and some
hospitals with only 20 or so nurses
cared for 2,100 patients"

New York. Oct. 17.-Opinion
about the financial district is be-
coming more general as regards
the belief THAT for time being the
market has passed its peak in bull
activity. The tension in time and
call money markets and the high
rates are pretty effective damper
together with all the other uncer-
tainties of the present time. a
number of important financial
operations pending, however, and
consequently the market is not
likely to be allowed to become too
sagged. The sugar shortage should
bring about an increased demand
for certain products Of the Corn
Product Mfg. Co.
The best news this morning is
that labor and capital are nearing
in the industrial coz
ference. The stock market will
not be Influenced by the defeat OF
the Shantung sentiment. Traders
are just now more concerned about
the money situation than anything
else. Many think that the specula-
tive pace has been altogether too
swift and that a quieting down of
the market is highly desirable.

Prospects of Diminishing Receipts
Results in Market Taking q
Fresh Upturn.

Chicago, ILL.,. Oct. 17.-New up
turns in the value of corn resulted
today from prospects of diminish
ing receipts. In this connection,
railroad orders to give wheat the
preference in the movement from
the interior was considered a not
able bullish factor as to corn. Be
sides, country offerings to arrive
were not large. Opening prices,
which ranged from the same as
yesterdays finish to Nc higher,
with December, $122% to $1.28A,
and May $1.22 to $I.22A, were fol-
lowed by material gains all around.
Bulls urged that with cotton near
the highest price ever known and
with other commodities toward the
top no important decline was to be
expected in grain at present. The
market closed unsettled, lie to 11zc
net higher, with December 124k
t0I.24H and May 1925 to 1.Z3.
January lard was in special de-
mand. Packers were said to be
buying that delivery against de-
ferred shipments held for export.
Oats hardened with corn. Sea-
board bidding remained active.
After opening unchanged to Is0Ac
higher, including December 7OBc
to Tic, the market scored a mod
crate general advance.
Higher quotations on hogs and
grain lifted provisions. Lard was
the leader.
