GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-Wheat prices
turned downward today after a show
of strength at the start. Initial gains
were ascribed to. the liberal export
business done yesterday. Buying or
ders this morning, however, lacked
volume. Opening quotations which
varied from the same as yesterdays
finish to 2 cents higher. with Deem
Der $40 1-2 to LII and March $1.67
to 1853 1-2 were followed by a decid-
ed setback all around and then some
thing Of a rally. Scantiness of re-
ceipts here held the corn market
relatively steady. After opening 3-S
off to Is advance including May at
76 Ia to rs 1-2 cents the market un-
derwent a slight sag.
Oats, like corn, were DULY and fair
ly firm, starting unchanged to ga
cents higher, May So Ia to So, and
then declining a little.
Absence of any aggressive support
made h provision market weak.
Bearish views in regard TO economic
conditions had a further depressing
effect later. The close was unsettled,
2 Ia to 3 cents net lower, with De-
cember Sligo 1-2 to 1.66 ga and
March $1.64 to 1.64 1-2. Later the
market ' receded with wheat. The
close was weak, 1 1-8 to l SIS cents
net lower, with May at rs Is to
Is Ia.

PARIS UPSETS PLAN
To HAVE GERMAN At
SAN RENO COUNCIL
Millcrand Convinces English and
Italian Premicrs of Unwis-
dom of Proposition.
PLEA FOR BIGGER ARMY
BEFORE THE CONFERENCE
y Associated Press to Every Evening

BY Associated Press to Every Evening
Paris, April 22.-The San Reno corre-
spondent Of the Matin says he has been
informed that the preparations Of PremIers
Nitti and Lloyd George on the question
of dealing with Germany eliminated in n
suggestion that Germany be invited TO
take part in the conference here.
The Premier indicated, he declares,
that in their view the presence Of the
German Chancellor in person would be
desirable as means Of making the dl :
cussion of the future and economic re-
lations between Germany and her former
enemies productive of the best results.
However, the correspondent adds, the
representations of Premier Millcrand
ultimately convinced the Italian and
British Premiers that they had taken the
wrong view and it was decided that dis
cussion of the German problem should
be confined TO the members Of the supreme
council.
The German note requesting REVISION
of the military clauses of the peace treaty,
so that Germany could maintain an army
of 100000 men until general reduction
of armaments had been brought about
by the League Of Nations, has been re-
ceived by the President Of the San Reno
conference, the correspondent reports.
In British circles it is believed, he states,
that the discussion of this note will necessi-
tate a prolongation of the conference

San Reno, April %. -Alexandre Mil
lerand, the French premier, today re-
ceived the American newspaper corre-
spondents, Of whom III are here and
talked freely about peace conference
affairs.
''Our friendship with the American
people, he said. "did not begin with 1914
but very long before that and before
you brought us the decisive help in the
war which now is such precious recollec-
tlon.
II regret we could not have the direct
active cooperation of the United States
government in the preparation OF the
Turkish treaty here but ] am sure America
will not stand apart always from Euro
pean affairs. regret much more that the
United States does not participate in the
discussion OF Germany's treatment of
the treaty of Versailles, which will be
considered tomorrow.
The official statement issued by the
Supreme Council at the close of the morn
ing session says;
THE Supreme Council assembled at ! |
O'Clock this morning and heard the opln-
ion of military and naval experts on ques-
tions regarding the administration Of
the Dardanclles straits. The council ap-
proved the insertion of clauses relating TO
this matter in the Turkish peace treaty.
The council afterward examined the pres
ent situation in the Caucasus.

REPUBLICAN FIGHT FOR
COMMITTEE CONTROL
Meeting Today Will Probably
Determine What Program
TO Follow.

The New Dispensation in the Republi-
can party. of which Alfred L. du Pont is
still said to be the directing head, will
make fight for control of the new city
and county committees, according TO
information obtained today from ap-
parently reliable sources. While it looks
like a hopeless task, as far as the city
(First district committee Is concerned,
there is hope, it is said, of gaining control
not only of the rural Second District
committee, but Of the entire county COM
mittee. which would develop at the cleo
ton of officers.
A program of action in this behalf, it
was said this morning, will probably be
mapped out at conference this afternoon.
That the Republican factions are still
at war, and that the New Dispensation is
full OF fight, was more apparent, from
information obtained today than at the
convention In Dover on Tuesday. 1t was
learned that former leaders of that faction
have some wealthy recruits who are even
more determined than the originals The
latter have gone to the extent of sending
agents all through the. State to quietly
sound sentiment, presumably to be In a
position to take such actions a seems un-
warranted. They are determined, it is
understood, to unhorse the old Organlza-
tion. if possible, where it seems to have

and Kent counties at the convention,
though everything outside Of Wilmington
was said today to be debatable ground.

WILL BUILD ROAD

Proposes Reconstruction of Chris

tire Length.
TO AID IN SHIPPING
DELAWARE PRODUCE

In order to give the farmers of Delaware
an opportunity to ship their produce,
intended for other states, by water, the
State Highway Commission is planning
to give them first-class road that will
terminate at the new Wilmington port
terminal, at the mouth of the Chrtstiana
river.
With this object in view the commission
is advertising for bids. to be received at
Dover on May IL, for regarding 9hristiana
avenue from Third street bridge to the
river a distance of 1.04 miles, 1t is pro-
posed to elevate the road above the
point where high water has been inter
fering with traffic there. Tho maximum
fill will be about seven feet VI the esti-
mates are within reasonable bounds,
when they are opened on May II, it is
hoped to have the grading started at
once. After it is finished temporary
surface of asphalt will be laid. and the
road will remain in this shape for about
q year, when it will have settled. Then,
il is prposed, permanent service is TO be
laid.
For many years road to the river
has been advocated, and many attempts at
such O project have been started, but
nothing of lasting nature has succeeded.
Many years ago II was planned TO run
Fourth street to the river Later seventh
street was adopted and by a circuitous
route road 70 the river was finally made,

WOULD BENEFIT WHOLE STATE.
With q view to making the state highway
system, which il is now engaged in build
ing, the State Highway Department has
been seeking a terminal on the river.
Christiana avenue, which ends at the
proposed new city terminal, was found to
be the most practical solution OF the prob
lem. The members of the department
were OF the opinion that, while building
roads. they should give the people outlet
TO Pennsylvania and Maryland. and that
they were entitled 10 a road to deep water
also; also that the time was now favorable
for doing this. in view OF the fact that
Wilmington is about to provide the port
terminal. They believed that the farmers
of Delaware ought TO have an opportunity
to use the state road system to reach the
port OF shipment of all farm products
that can be shipped

GRAIN PRICES SLUMP
IN CHICAGO MARKET
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

BY Associated Press to Every Evening
Chicago, April 22.-Sharp new breaks
took place today In the corn market right
at the outset. The heaviest fall was in the
May delivery, which in some cases ex-
hibited sheer descent OF six cents a
bushel since last night. Renewed weakness
in the New York stock market was the
main reason ascribed
Initial prices in corn had much wider
range than usual. and for the May de-
livery were as much as two cents apart for
simultaneous trades in different parts of
the pit May started at 81 62 TO 81 "a as
compared with loo = to l6S at yesterdays

The corn market as whole opened
half a cent to six cents lower with July
at 1861 to 1879.
A big trade was in progress in all the
grain pits There had been heavy ac-
emulation of selling orders during the
night end individual operations counted
for little.
After the opening, however, commits

followed. Price fluctuations were so rapid

STATE LABOR MEN
TO HAVE OWN TICKET
Claim to Have 400 Pledges as
Result of Recent Rail
road Walkout.

About AGO railroad men and members
of other labor unions IN Delaware, as
result of the recent railroad walkout,
have signed pledge, it was learned today,
to support labor candidate for governor
of this state at the next election.
Their present plan is to have ticket Of
their own, independent of any of the
political parties, and they expect TO
nominate for governor one of two men they
already have under consideration.
This was learned today from an ap-
parently well informed source. Accord
ing to this information, the project was
broached during the railroad walkout,
and at once a poll was begun among the
railroaders TO sound their sentiment, and
it is said that all who walked out-train-
men. shopmen, road men and all-with
the exception of nine, signed pledge to
support such a ticket The canvass was
made all along the railroad lines through
out the state. as well as IN Wilmington,
and included those still at work, as well
as those who had gone out. Even the
smallest towns were not neglected, and it
is said that every railroad man was seen.
Ii was said today that the railroad brother
hoods stand back of the movement and
that II wealthy Wilmingtonians have
agreed to help it financially.
While the railroad canvass was on sentl-
ment was sounded among the labor unions
of Wilmington, and many of their members
were found to be in sympathy with the
movement.
So the plan now is to nominate c om-
plete state labor ticket independent of
the candidates of the political parties.

TYPHOID FEVER
State Health Board Asking Ply
sicians to Report on
All Gases.

Every physician in the State this week
had forwarded to him batch of typhoid
fever reports from the State Board
OF Health, the members of that body
hoping in this way TO not only obtain
data about the disease as it affects resi-
dents of Delaware, but To interest the
physician in the work of combating the
ailment Each physician who fills out a
card concerning a case that may come
to his attention will receive a dollar for his
trouble and at the same time will be con-
ferring a courtesy upon the State Board
of Health
The number of typhoid fever cases in
Delaware is alarming when the average
for the entire United States is considered
In wears past the average has been from
20 TO 40 cases in each 100, 600 population.
The average for the United States is Is in
each 10000.
While there has been no indication that
typhoid fever will visit Delaware this sum
mer to an alarming degree, the precau-
tions now being taken by the State Board
of Health will aid materially if there
should be an outbreak,
From the data received from these re-
ports from physicians, the State health
officials will be able 20 take measures 10
prevent a general spread from patients
afflicted if regulations enacted are OBJ
served

tions prescribed by the State Board of

STOCKS DROP LOWER
UNDER "SHORT" FIRE
STEEL IS HARD HIT
More Than Million Shares Sold by
Noon; Liberty Bonds at New

MONEY AT PER CENT
EASES THE TENSION
BY Associated Press TO Every Evening

New York, April 22.-Liauidation OF
speculative shares was resumed at the
opening of today's stock market, much
of the pressure emanating from pro-
fessional interests.
Offerings were well absorbed for time,
General Motors recovering 10 points OF
yesterdays 421I points decline, while
other leaders in the industrial and special
divisions rallied one to five points.
United States Steel and some of the
high-grade oils, equipments and ship
pings developed fresh reactionary ten
denotes, however. and before the end of
the first hour many gains were cancelled,
with numerous low records for the cur
rent movement.
Further weakness of Liberty bonds was
again disquieting influence, the first As
declining one per cent and the first AS
losing 40 per cent.
Advices received by local banks con-
firmed recent reports Of enforced selling
ofLiberty bonds at industrial centers where
labor troubles have been especially preva-
lent.
The market made sharp recovery at
noon, sentiment being favorably influenced
by the maintenance Of the seven per cent
rate for call money.
On the rally 20 which the shorts made
involuntary contributions, actual gains
of three 10 Ii points over yesterdays
final prices were made by General Motors
Baldwin Locomotive, United States Rub
ber and minor stecls and equipments.
Trading became dull at midday after a
morning turnover exceeding one million
shares.
