CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-The lowest
prices of the season were reached
today in all grains, there being a
complete reversal of form in the
markets. Cash corn started about
&c lower and when this news
reached the pit there was a general
rush on the part of early buyers to
liquidate. At the finish wheat was
off 3&c to 4&c with December
$2.07 to $2.0712 and March $2.03
to $2.03 u; corn showed net loss
of &c to &c. while oats were down
/ &c to NC. Provisions ranged
from zoe lower to 10c higher.
Sentiment in wheat was general
ly bearish and a readjustment of
prices to postwar basis seemed
much in evidence. A small lot of
wheat was sold to exporters late
yesterday but it was almost impos-
sible to sell wheat to exporters to-
day and offers at yesterdays prices
failed to bring any replies although
there was some early buying of the
cereal for seaboard account.
Liquidation was on in corn with
a lack of aggressive support and
the market declined easily. Cash
corn led the descent, breaking
sharply and at the inside showed
the lowest since February, 1917,
when contract grades sold at 90 a C.
The break. however. was checked
toward the finish because of buy
ing against bids.
Oats were in sympathy with
other grains and finished near the
low point of the day.
Provisions were unable to retain
their best prices due to the weak
ness of corn.

 In this connection, let it be noted that the development of the Connec- ticut highway system has now reach ed the point where we can see a practically continuous system of state highways which will eventually have to be connected up with the sur- rounding country by short feeders so that the state will be we'll served by this means of transportation.
 Trunk Line Bridges.
 The construction and maintenance of trunk line bridges has been carried on during the nine months mention ed, and arrangements made and work started on the construction of the Washington bridge over the Ho1sa- tonic river which should be complet- ed by January 1, 1921. This work is one of considerable magnitude and of great importance.

LUERLIN WILL
 SPEAK SUNDAY
 NIGHT AT FORUM

Charles Zueblin, of Boston, publicist and author of note, will be the Com munity Forum speaker on the subject "Railroads for Speculation or Ser vice." Mir. Zueblin was for sixteen years professor of sociology in the University of Chicago and lecturer under the Extension Department of the University. He is now an inde- pendent lecturer on democracy in literature. education and life, devoting a good portion of each season to the discussion of civic and municipal problems in relation to the practical needs of communities, being the pio- neerNjn the promotion of Civic Revi- vals- MT. Zeubnn's philosophy of life is uncompromisingly democratic He believes absolutely in the masses Of the people, unorganized and inardcu- late but potentially infinite in possi- bilities- MT. Zueblin is never mega tive or destructive but always posi- tive, constructive, creative Criticism is to him merely a clearing process for social reconstruction The world war is reconci1ing the tiInid and skep- tical to the world democracy for which such men have laid the foun- dations.
 evening was adjourned to this week, and will be held between 7:10 and 7:30, to which all interested in the Forum are asked. From to 7:10 there will be a musical prelude.

SAYS PARIS IS
 SOON TO BECOME ''BRAIN OF WORLD''

Paris, Jan. s.--This year is likely to see a great influx of American students to French universities, in the opinion of H. s. Krans, secretary of the American University Union in Europe.
 Paris is destined to become the brain of the world" said Mir. Krans to correspondent of The Associated Press. German universities will be largely avoided by Americans. Dog ged determination was shown by one young New York student who arrived here with the problem how to board and live on six francs 0 day. Through the medium of the Union, a French landlady gave him a small room for two francs a day. The young man cooks his own meals, Is passing rich on four francs a day"
 French teachers and students are constant and eager inQuirer1 at the Unions Paris home. Many Of them are anxious to take a course of studies in the United States. Fourteen French students are already studying in American universities on free scholarships from a fund collected by 5000 American students in recogni- ton of the hospitality extended to them by French universities during the war.
 The Society for American Fellow ships in French universities is plan ! ming to send 20 Americans each year to the Sorbonne and other French seats of learning; nor will the Asa tian university. of Strasburg be ne | glected Twenty-Five scholarships fol l American girls in France are already filled.

was low and without particular re- gard to the danger Of the crossing it. self or the possibility of more fre- quent accidents due to a greater vol ume Of traffic. There are number less crossings throughout the stata which, to the mind of a thoughtful person, should be eliminated without further delay. It is realized that the railroad companies are in no financial condition to carry the burden of any great amount of this class Of work, but there should be some steps taken to proceed with the work of elimination of grade crossings at the earliest possible moment in order to
 obviate accidents due to their eX- istence. Several serious and a few fatal accidents have occurred during the past year.
 Thames River Bridge. The work of remodeIling the Thames river bridge was commenced in February, and at the time of the l completion of this report was unfin- ished.

 1 Mention has been made of neces- 1 sity for increase in widths. Some o1
 our roads at the present time carry a maximum traffic of 5000 vehicles i per day, and an average traffic of ir 1 excess of 1000. The accommodation i of such a volume of traffic evidently 1 requires the careful consideration O.

 In no case should roads be bull
