VERY LIGHT RECEIPTS
STFFENS CORN PRICE

CHICAGO Feb. 2S.-Unusual scarcity
of corn here with the winter crop
movement at an end has given much
impetus this week to price upturns in
the corn market Compared with week
ago, corn quotations this morning
varied from Is cents off to Lac ad-
vance. oats unchanged to 3-4M Use high
er, provisions down l0c to 4oc.
At times all other considerations in
regard to corn were eclipsed by the
fact that receipts continued scanty and
that no big accumulation in Chicago,
or any of the leading terminals was
now expected. Spectators who had
sold corn on account Of weakness of
sterling exchange and owing to bearish
opinions about the economic outlook
were forced to cover on a rising mar
ket.
Oats were governed by the action
| of corn.
Decreased employment at the pack
| ing houses was apparently significant
of the slowness of trade in provisions,

BRY'S MUST ORDER
MORE ARMY SHOES

Shoes for the whole family" says
big sign over the army shoe counter
at Bry's. But, unfortunately, the whole
family desires to be in different places
at different times, therefore can't con-
veniently do Mother Hubbard The
remaining stock of army shoes, after
the first days raid Friday, Is in family
sizes, numbering from mines to twelves,
the smaller sizes having been sold out
before the sale was seven hours old
Friday
Another thought occurs in connection
with the large sizes only that are on
sale. The police force is shy of men.
There is an old song that goes some
thing like IAN policemen have big
feet" Maybe the average Memphian' s
foot is too small for him to qualify as
a gumshoe artist.
But here's good news for the mob that
arrived too late to get shoes of the
smaller sizes. An order for 1000 more
pairs has been sent.
Approximately 1000 of the 200 pairs
were sold the first day. and approx
inately half of these before the sale had
been on two hours. The shortage OF
small sizes accounts for the fact the
entire stock was not sold the first day
clerks say. During the afternoon hun
dreds went away shoeless--that is
without shoes under their arms in ad-
dition to on their feet--because the
