S|x-CENT JUMP
TAKEN BY CORN
Wheat Scarcity and "Wet''
VictoyeCVses'

CHICAGO, April Corn made an
extraordinary jump in price today
amounting in some cases to 6 cents a
bushel. Official announcement that
wheat scarcity was so acute that wheat
and flour exports from the United
State to neutral countries had
been stopped, was chiefly re.
sponsible. Victory ior the liquor IN
terests in the Chicago municipal cleo
ton was also an important factor
The steepest advance was corn for
September delivery. a rise to l,38E
y against $l,32H at the finish on
Monday.
Traders took the view that corn
products for export would be muc n
more in demand in place of whcs,
and flour. II was a popular opinion
also that rye and barley would be
largely bought on the chance tha, the
result Of the Chicago election would
be interpreted as a referendum on
prohibition, and that with a peace
treaty signed before July |. prohibi-
ton would not be permitted to take
effect.
The official announcement wa
made in New York last nigh, by
Julius Barnes. head of the gram divi-
sion OF the food administration &C
cordlng 10 reports received here, Mr..
Barnes was quoted as saying:
We have advised the neutral gov.
ernmcnts that America will be unablc
TO furnish any more whea, or wheat
flour to them; that they are free to
buy other grains in our markc, bu,
must seek wheat in other markets"
Fresh advances occurred later and
the May delivery scared to $l.SSI4.

with Monday. Tip.top figures, how

up of the morning. And this hap
spened in Washington and net in
lawless and Bolshevik Russia And
it. all happened because our super
irltendent of police pays more time
to psychology, theology and sociol-
.ogy thana he does to criminology.
Vari-cclcred traffic posts with po-
etical and scholarly Inscriptions will
not catch criminals. Certainly, trait.
fc must be properly directed for the
safety of the public. But traffic
should not be police superintend-
ent's hobby. It is his business TO
run down crime and when that is
done then it is time to play. IN
strrcting policemen in the proper.
care of their teeth, how to walk
erectly, their physical condition
generally, is well and good. But it
appears to be the job of dentist,
physical director, manicurist,
rather than superintendent of po-
lice. Social conditions are improved
b y theology. But criminals are
not caught by sermons. Criminals
are not ordinarily religious, or else
they would not be criminals. A mo-
ralist is about as successful in clean
ing up city CT desperate charac-
te1s as bctanist would be attempt
ing the work of an engineer. Crime
is rife in Washington. Gunner are
terrorizing the public. 1t is unsafe
to walk the streets. When p man IS
