New Party Is Talked.
There was much gossip today about
the likelihood of Bryan starting a
party of his own. This was based on
his declaration in his speeches Thurs
day night that IL the Democratic party
did not do its duty a new party would

Morning Grain Gossip.

FURNISHED by b. C. Christopher & Coz
Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 10.-The Tribune ::
GRAIN: Traders who think that the grain
market acts tired and that the bullish
ing new buying orders in sufficient volume
to absorb the profit taking and short SELL
ing, are bearish and predict lower prices
for time. There is also a feeling in GER
tain quarters that a break is due because
It declined last year when conditions were
different.
Among the reasons for selling yesterday
was report that the extension of the
prohibition lid had been made from Jan
nary 10th to 10th and that Danish butter
had arrived in New York. A feeling exists
among a few operators that the ear short
age is bearish. This theory is said to be
popular in Minneapolis, where most of the
trade is more bearish than it is here.
The former take the position that while
there is a good demand for all grains,
scarcity of cars will prevent shipments,
and that storage charges will eventually
force seaboard holders to resell.
A Chicago man who has been in Min
neapOlis this week says California buyers
have re-sold part of the corn they have
bought there, the advance giving them a
good profit. He says also there is specu-
1ation in cash grain there to considerable
extent.
Argentine freight rates have advanced
sharply. A charter was reported to New
York on basis of 500 per ton.
Cash houses were persistent buyers of
Northwestern connections made a slightly
lower close.
Lard was bought freely by the same com
mission houses who have been a factor in
the market nearly all week, taking the
offerings of May, and at times strength
ening the market. Local and western pack
srs sold the January and will deliver it
shortly.

MEMS CLOTHES HIGHER
Wooden Cloth Lower But Labor Is the
Main Item Now.

New York, Jan. 1O.-Further in
creases in the price of mems clothing,
without much change in style. were
predicted today by delegates who at
tended tho tenth annual convention
of the International Association of
Clothing Designers here.
Labor contributes about 80 per cent
to the cost of e suit, 1t was said.
While the supply of wooden cloth
was said to be increasing the design
ers offered little hope that this would
decrease the cost of clothes.
The designers were disinclined to
believe reports from London that pur-
pie, gold and bright colors would be
worn by men and declared that CON
servatism both as to cut and fabric
would prevail in the United States
and Canada.

Later, Brooks immigrated to Amer

and brought with him the child and
her mother. They lived together as
husband and wife and later Leonie.
the mother. ran away with another
man, whom she married and lived
with until his death. it was declared.
Later she returned to Brooks and was
married to him. The evidence con-
corning the paternity Of the daughter
conflicted.
The plaintiff testified positively that
Charles C. Brooks was not the father
of Leonie, her daughter, and that she
did not become acquainted with
Brooks until 1868. while it was
charged the child was born In 1865.
She further denied that she ever went
to the mayors office in Paris and
made the acknowledgment of her
daughters birth. a copy of which was
introduced in court. She named an
other Frenchman-a man by the
name of Bedos-as the father OF
Leonie. The court commended that
of Charles c. Brooks and she cannot
inherit from him.
Schnack VIII to Stand:
The will of the late Peter Schnack,
a philanthropist at Larned, in which
he bequeathed funds for the mainten-
ance of park to be named after him,
will stand, under a decision by the
court today. Schnack was 76 years old
at the time of his death in 1917. He
gave two nephews his farm, $50 acres,
and city property at Larned. and to
numerous other nephews and nieces
he left $1,000 in cash each.
Five of the hpir9 who received
1000 each under the will, contested
the will, claiming Schnack was of I'M
sound mind and was unduly Influenced
when he made the bequest to the city.
Later, however, a settlement was
reached between the heirs IN which
it was agreed the city was to obtain
$3.50 from the estate. Claiming that
such an agreement was illegal and de-
handing that original will be carried
QUIT STIMULATING that the entire resi-
due OF the estate was to go to the city
A. H, Moffet, one of the three
executors, entered a demurrer to the
settlement.

cast, May Start New Party.

Washington. Jan. 1O-Selection of
candidate to head the Democratic
ticket is believed to be President Will
sons next problem. Now that he has
declared in favor of making the
League of Nations the big issue at the
polls in November. Democrats expect
him to plunge into the fight himself,
not, however, to the extent of accept
ing the nomination.
Just at present, A. Mitchell Palmer
seems to be high in favor at the White
House. But the president will not
make up his mind until the campaign
gets well under way. Then, when he
has picked his man, there probably
will be a collision with the forces of
w. ]. Bryan at the San Francisco con-
vention, as Bryan is expected to have
a candidate of his own and he will
make every effort to defeat Wilson's
choice unless he has a change of heart
between now and June %.
Bryan Now Outcast.
Bryan, since he disagreed with Will
son on making the treaty an issue, is
an outcast as far as the present Off
Gals of the Democratic party are con-

alone, an outsider without sufficient
influence to threaten Wilson'S control

been counting on him to stump the
west for their candidate, but now

Sad case" Party leaders hope he will
keep quiet. His friends, on the other
hand. insist that no candidate can be
named at San Francisco without his
consent, that he cares nothing for the
frowns of party officials as he believes
the people will back him up.
Bryan has an extensive schedule of
speeches beginning in Georgia, Janu-
airy 10 and lasting well into the sum-
mer. His side of the case will be laid
before the voters in these addresses.

Wilson did not throw the treaty into

HORSES AND MULES.


Chicago Jan. 10-Materiai advances in
the price of corn this week sprung large
ly from unlocked for hating of supplies
from farms. Compared with week ago
the market this morning was up PIC TO
5lsc. Oats gained &c to lie and provisions
90c to $1.55.
Altho belief had been general among
corn traders that the long expected of the
crop movement was just at hand, the
prospect soon disappeared.
A big export grain business, especially
in oats and rye, Notwithstanding the low
rate of foreign exchange, tended further
to strengthen the corn market The up
ward swing of prices, however, received a
considerable check from statements by
Herbert Hoover, that European financial
needs could be met by ordinary commercial
credits. Regardless of heavy profit tax
ing. oats touched the highest price yet
this season. Big shipments from the pack
ing houses together with higher quotations
on hogs and grain carried provisions
sharply up grade.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Jan. 10.-CORN-Bears pressed
the selling side of the corn market today
with considerable success. The fact that
increased federal reserve discount rates
here became effective this morning tended
to curtail buying, and so, too, did uncer-
tainties of freight transportation. Opening
prices, which varied from the same as yes
terday's finish to nc lower with May
$1.345s to $135H and July $1-33 to $13312
were followed by a substantial decline all
around
Word that Secretary Glass had asked
authority to make loan to Austria to buy
food rallied the market in the last hour.
Prices closed firm, &c to z@2Mc net lower,
with May $1.34A to $1-3412, and July S1.329s
to $132T.
OATS-Oats gave way with corn. Deal
ings were on a big scale. Opening at AZ
decline to 1se advance, including May S31sc
to S4Ac, the market underwent general
setback.
OVISIONS-Provisions were weak for
the same reasons grain. Selling, however,
was only of a scattered sort
Later there were reports of British offers
to resell lard to packers, but the bearish
effect partly counterbalanced by the
proposal of an American government loan
to Austria.
