Goal Reached.

New York, May 17.-That the Euro
pcan relief campaign of the Lutheran
church in America has already reached
its goal of $1,SOO,OOO in half the time
allotted to the actual campaign, is the
estimate of the financial director of the
Lutheran world service campaign, the
Rev. George Linn Kieffer.
Reports from state chairman, con-
grcgations and individuals which have
come in are the basis of this estimate.
Many Of the states have already reach
ed their allotmcnts.
The Rev. Kieffer states that the pur-
pose now is to double the original
amount by every effort. There is every
evidence Of this possibility as SO many
of the individual churches have so
early doubled their appointment of
the whole amount.

DAILY MARKETS
BY The Trans Mississippi
Grain Company, ii. III. Audley,
Manager. Phone $40.

Chicago, May 17.-COrn: The market
started higher on general rains yer
the belt. On the advance however,
which was supplement d by that from
the local element and considerable pres
sure appeared when estimates of 175
cars were announced. A decided break
followed with prices AZ cents lower
than the high point of the day. from
which there was a decided short cov
.cring rally which closed the market
/ to , cents lower than Saturday. q.
Oats: The weather conditions were
IDEAL for the growing crop. After a
firm opening weakness developed. Esti-
mates of 100 cars met a good cash de-
.mand, but premiums were slightly
easier. The growing crop is making
wonderful progress and weather con
ditions are ideal. With cash oats in
strong a position, it will be hard to
break futures very much.
Butter. Eggs and Poultry.
The volume of cream delivered to
crcameries last week showed some in
crease over the preceding week, but it
is lighter than II year ago.
Last year there was some butter
bought for export, but conditions do
not now appear favorable for foreign
purchases: in fact, a considerable
quantity has been imported during the
last few months, and there are reports
of further importation from foreign
producing countries.
The markets during the past week
reflect this condition and wholesale
prices are lower in the large consuln-
ing centerS.
Eggs are beginning to show the cf-
feet of warmer temperature and buy
ers are more careful in their selection.
Prices. due to lighter demand, are
slightly lower.
1t is very Important that eggs be
gathered daily. kept in Il cool place and
marketed frequently.
The movement of poultry is about
normal and prices show only nominal
changes from last week. On account of
lighter storage stocks, it is expected
that values will be sustained for the
next thirty days.
