rent that flour stocks were low and
that the bulk Of wheat accumulations
at present in sight are owned by ex-
porters. The advance in wheat prices,
though, brought about attempts to
realize profits. Late. selling pressure
was induced also by the bearish show
ing of the bank of England weekly
statement and by ten million bushels
increase OF the estimated exportable
surplus Of wheat in Argentina.
Month end liquidation weakened
corn and oats after moderate upturn
had taken place in sympathy with the

GOOD CROPS LIGHTEN
WORRIES OF FRENCH

PARIS. Dec. STA. P)-While
the French people have their worries,
yet they will begin the new year i'm
mensely more confident than they be-
gan 1920 because of the extraordinar-
lily good crops, progress in restoring
the ruined departments of the north,
a plentiful supply of coal and the pros
pect year hence of having the period
of military service reduced from three
years to is months.
Two foreign questions are likely to
give constant concern to the govern
ment throughout the coming year.
They are the payment of reparations
by Germany, and the war with Turk
ish nationalists over the Syrian and
Cilician mandates. Then also, there
are the eneral questions of the future
of the Versailles peace treaty. the
league of nations and the many issues
growing out of the peace conference,
in all of which France has a very deep
concern in what the coming year will
bring forth.
III. c. Il. in Deadlock.
The struggle over the high cost of
living receives a large share OF pub
lie attention. Resistance of merchants
and manufacturers to consumers de-
mands for lower prices has resulted
in something like a deadlock. The
buyers abstain from making purchases
because they feel that war prices

Domestic Milling Demands
Put Wheat Up Higher.

CHICAGO, Dec. s1.-Wheat prices
climbed Thursday to the highest point
reaehed in the last three weeks. Im-
proved domestic milling demand was
the chief bullish factor. The closing,
however. was weak, lac net lower TO
1-2c advance with March 1.66 L. to
1.66 s-4 and May 1.61 to 1.61 IA.
Corn finished 1-2 to &c down; oats

should no longer be asked. The mer-
chants, habituated to large profits, re-
fuse to reduce them. Consequently.
prices remain high and buyers are
scarce. Meantime, the banks are I'M
tpatient under repeated demands from
large holders of merchandise for re-
newals of their securities.
The new year opens with unemploy-
ment increasing daily. 1t has been
causing much concern since October
and now has reached volume which
officials agree calls for immediate ef-
fective measures. Three hundred
thousand workers now are idle in
France, nearly 100000 of whom are
in Paris, according TO figures an
nounced by the minister of public
works.
Cabinet Considers Unemployment.
The metal Industries, the leather
trade manufacture of textiles and
clothing and automobiles were the
first to suffer in Northern France, the
Loire valley and Paris and vicinity
Recently the silk industry became af-
fected and there are 5000 workers idle
at Lyons. alone, while the perfumery
distilleries around Paris are working
three days a week.
Some of the large department stores
in Paris have asked for extended cred
its. The industry suffering most is
the leather trade. nearly half the
hands ordinarily employed being out
of work. Eight thousand shoemakers
at Limoges alone are idle.
The question of unemployment is
being considered by the cabinet. and
is to be debated in the chamber of dep
uties

TEACHERS NOT WANTING
TO RETIRE MAY REMAIN
Those Eligible Will Be Retained as
Long as Necessary, Van
Schaick Says.

Efficient teachers and employees of
the District public school custodian
force. eligible for retirement under
the law but who want to remain in
the service, will be retained as long
as necessary. This is the present
policy of the board of education and
will be pursued until the shortage of
teachers and labor ceases to exist. it
was stated by DIR. John Van Schaick, jr..
president of the school board.
Everybody in the school service
who is efficient and eligible for re-
tirement," said Dr. Van Schaick.
need to be retired will. of course. be
placed on the retirement list. The
same policy applies to those who are
eligible and apply for retirement.
DR.. Van Schaick expressed the be-
lief today that a special meeting of
the board of education will not be
called before Monday. 1t was tenta-
lively planned to hold the special
meeting Saturday afternoon, upon the
arrival of DIR. H. Barrett Learned from
California. However. the school
board president said that he wanted
TO give DR.. Learned an opportunity to
confer with members of the nomlnat-
ing committee of the board appointed
to select a successor to Supt Thurs
ton before the special session.
DIR. Van Schaick made 1T clear. how
ever that should Mr.. ThruSton desire
the board to act upon his appoint
ment before Monday a meeting would
he called this week. If meet
ing is held this week another one
probably will be called Monday for
the purpose of deciding upon the
successor to Mr.. Thurston.
