ST. LOUIS, Oct. 24.--Whic the Home
and Housing Association, with a trust
fund of 100000, subscribed by
wealthy citizens, under the direction
Of the Chamber of Commerce, has
helped in measure to provide new
dwellings in St. Louis, this city has not
escaped the ravages of the rent
profiteer in the last two years.
At the start the association planned
to build 1000 dwellings, and 900 of
these have been completed and sold on
the instal lment plan. But while the
houses completed and projected by the
association do not enable the Chamber
of Commerce to solve the housing sit
uaton, the scheme for time served
to put a check on the profiteerng of
the more grasping of the Citys land
lords.
The rent profteer in St. Louis ap-
pears to have thrivcd in the tenement
sections. 1t was recently shown that
entire families were living in single
room and Easements and sub Easements
have housed as many as three families
Tenement rooms that rented for SO
and 81 d month in the pre-war period
now command a rental of $40 month.
The most eXtortiOnate cases of rent
profiteering according to the Cham
Der Of Commerce information, is to be
found in the office buildings, where
rents, even in the most undesira bic
locations, have increased at the rate
OF 100 per cent since the war.
In the better residence sections of
St Louis rents have increased at an
average of from 60 to IS per cent
However, comparative reports from
other cities have shown that St Louis
rents had not increased as much as
those in other metropolitan centers.

The city needs $4,000 new dwellings
Recently the Philadelphia Housing AS
sociation completed survey, placing
$50 100000 as the amount needed to put
into effect an adequate building pro
gram.
M. A. Kelly, secretary of the Real
Estate Board, declared yesterday that
only the construction of additional
dwellings would solve Philadelphia s
problems. There were not sufficient
large houses suitable for conversion
into flats or apartment houses to take
care of more than a fraction of the
families seeking homes, he said.
Normally, according to the figures of
the Real Estate Board, about 5000
houses are built annually. This was
just about sufficient to care for the
city's growth. The war stopped all
building and at the same time caused
an inrush of workers and their families
After the signing of the armistice
building was resumed slowly. Fewer
than $500 new dwellings were built
last year and only 100 building per-
mits have been taken out so far this
year,

Chicago. March 6. - Highest
prices OF the season for all corn flu
lures except for May were made to-
day and May sold at the best price
since the middle 'of last. August.
|. Last prices were the best of the
week, without any new bullish de-
velopments. Net gains were 25sc
to 3ssc on corn, Nc to 1Hc on oats;
Sc to sac on rye, and 34 OH bar

Gains for the week we're: Corn,
6Hc to 75sc; oats, $3.50 to 334c; rye,
l0Hc to l1Ac; barley, oAc; pork,
35c; lard 85c to 90c, and short ribs
were 2Hc to SC lower than week
ago.
Action of today's corn market
demonstrated that the surplus has
been absorbed by commission
houses recently, and it will take
higher prices to bring out grain. A
few of the local professionals sold
early and forces May off to $l.4lM,
but there was steady buying in small
lots by commission houses, indicat-
ing a broadening i'll the outside
trade. Later shorts started to cover
and found limited offerings, May
jumping to $1.45, a new high on the
present upturn. Other deliveries
sold at new high figures for the sea-
son, and the. close was about the
top, with March $l.5l; May, $1.44A;
July, Sl.38A, and September, $1.35.
Exporters advanced their bids of

Despite persistent reselling of

Hogs-Receipts Of hogs were light again
saturday, 6.4o0 head, making the run for
the week 49.1oo head. which Is 10000 less
than last week and nearly $1,000 less than
the same week year ago, the shortage
for the year to date being 2s3.o00 head.
The first day of the week displayed the
Characteristic weakness that has been so
evident in the market of late. but since
then there has been a gradual advance in
values until the week closed with Satur-
days prices largely from &14,<011t.so,
higher than last Saturday. largely due to
light receipts. The discrimination against
heavy hogs was not nearly SO prominent
the closing days Of the week.
Sheep-About four loads OF lambs were
included in today's receipts. one load SELL
ing at $1S.26 and the remainder OF the
supply being held over for Mondays trade
prices were quoted nominally steady. The
marketing this week has been on a very
limited scale, but the demand from pack
ers has been dull and indifferent on
most days with trend to values lower.
Good fat lambs show a decline OF soc
over a week ago with the inbetween and
common killers ruling SOC @ $1.00 lower.
Fat sheep are also closing around $50 soc

members at the Stock Exchange and
also the number of traders in COM
mission houses today with the re-
suit of desultory market in stocks
On the whole prices were firm to
strong, several specialties moving
forward three points and more.
Naturally, in view of the small total
of dealings it was not possible to
read in the price changes anything
more significant than the efforts OF
day-to-day spectators to acquire
quick profits.
Foreign Exchange Reacts.
The foreign exchange market re-
acted from the levels established the
day before, q Development which
seemed to represent considerable
profit taking. The range covered
by sterling during the week, 28 Lac
to the pound, was SO extraordinary
an advance that purchasers at the
lower levels on Monday and Tues
day probably were active at the
weekend in realizing their gains.
Since February 4 sterling has
scored a maximum improvement Of
more than 80 cents to the pound and
at today's final quotation the rate
was substantially above the point
where it began to drop i'll the spec
tacular decline of last month. 1t
would be interesting to know the
extent to which sales of American
securities for European account in
the last weeks have created balances
here for England and France. Re-
ports OF really extensive liquidation
from abroad have been heard and
at the same time there have been
expanding sales of British, French
and Italian government securities in
our market.
Expansion in Bonds.
The many advertisements by
banking and brokerage houses of the
issues which have appeared of late
indicates that wide circle of in
vestors has been appealed to and it
stands to reason that the oppor-
.tunity for a high return plus the
speculative chance in the exchanges
,of countries issuing the bonds has
been accepted in many quarters.
Also sales of municipal bonds OF
Germany in other countries have
bee nreported on expanding scales.
These transactions presumably have
run up into millions of dollars and
may have been a real influence be-
hind the rise of exchanges. 1t re-

IDlTAROD CAMP Is
 ALMOST DESERTED

In spite of the fact that a large part of the Iditarod population has left the camp during the past couple of seasons there is some mining going on there, according to Joseph H. Smith of Fairbanks, who recently made a trip to Iditarod on business.
 The principal mining at present is confined to Otter and Flat Creeks, two dredges being operated on the former and several small outfits on the latter stream. The dredges are owned by the Riley and Beaton inter ests. The town of Iditarod, which boasted a large population in the boom days of the camp, now has only five women and about dozen men, and number of these are plannang to leave for the states before the end of the season. There are several stores, some of which will be closed as soon as the stocks are disposed of.
 There have been no new strikes in the district lately, Mr. Smith says, and no developments to encourage the belief there will be a revival of min ing there in the immediate future. Like all other interior gold camps, the cost of mining there at the present Is such that onlY the richest remaining ground is worked.

in the vicinity of Fairbanks, more than 2,G00 bushels of grain were harvested last year, with an average yield of 20 bushels per acre with value of $5.5O per bushel, according to the chamber of commerce of White horse.
 There are now 102 homesteaders in the vicinity of Fairbanks engaged in raising wheat, barley. oats and other farming products.
 The reports show that oats arc very prolific in the Panama valley and that yields of @ bushels are not uncommon. This statement is vouched for by M. D. Snodgrass, superintend- ent of the agricultural experimental station at Fairbanks.
