GRAIN PRICES

CHICAGO, May 81 Grain news
mainly bullish and nervous on the
dips on appearance Of chance of larger
receipts next week. Locals believe
May corn is exploited around $1.95 to
81 fully and July will be high enough
as an avantage for some time at $1.75.
At SITS July corn should discount the
necessity of representing cash stuff
for a week or two. Australia in the
midst of a dreadful drouth and condi-
lions point to continued imports of
food. Rice and wheat export demand
in the United States is indicated.
Over night we see no necessity in fol-
lowing the bulges. May shorts have
the privilege of awaiting a settling
price. Many cash men believe a good
break in cash stuff should occur some
time next week.

STORM HINDERS
MOVEMENT OF
COMMODITIES
Flour and Coal Getting
Scarce and Sugar Still on
the Absent List

The lack of transportation, the
freight embargo east of Buffalo and
the heavy storm hav call contributed
to greatly cramp the transportation
of commodities and the railroads are
in a very serious condition. today. st.
Johnsbu1y has already begun to feel
the acutcness of the situation as the
embargo prevents the shipment of
grain into town, even if the cars
were available.
The Food administration has good
sized pei centage of the empty cars
to move the flour for the newly
organized United States Grain
Corporation. The New England rail
roads are communicating the soft
coal, notwithstanding the emphatic
protest of Gov. Coolidge, and little
soft coal now reaches its destination.
st. Johnsbury grocers have been
waiting week for a carload Of sugar
that was coming from Boston and
are still on the anxious seat. A bulle
tin from the Quaker Oats Company
to their trade describes the present
freight situation as the most acute

Entertain Large Crowd

The Norwich University Musical
Clubs drew crowded house at the
Aimory Monday night and furnished
n couple hours of entertainment va
ried in character and exceedingly
popular in its nature. The boys are
great favoritcs with / ST. Johnsbury

great skill and the Glee Club had a
program which combined the classi-

some jazz music that took one back
to New York's great white way.
Welton gave a very clever imperso-

Sherburne Graves drew a round of

many of the workers to cross the
river to their work each day by boat.
The Stewart brothers came from a
large family and four of them, includ-
