BITTER POLITICAL
FIGHT in FIUME

Trieste. Feb. IA bitter political
struggle is developing in Fiume, eight
parties having placed themselves In
the field for the constitutional as
sembly election. These include the
old adherents' of annexation. the
na%tionalists, autonomists, Croats,
Socialists and communists. The cleo
lions are to be held about the middle

dened with a large debt. The present
provisional government Is making
efforts to have Italy re-establish the

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Feb. 2.-wheat advanced

been discounted, at least for the time
being. Bulls commended also that the
main factor was not undersellins from
the United States exportable surplus

in prices, however, brought about in
creased selling. Initial quotations.
which ranged from l to 33-4 cents
higher, with March 1.57 to 1.5S and
May LAB to Las ga. were followed
by a moderate reaction.
Corn hardened with wheat. After
opening 1-s cent to 1 cen higher, In
market kept for a time within this
range. and then relaxed a trifle.
Oats were firm owing to the
strength of other cereals, starting 1-8
to IL cent higher, May Al IA to IL
Ia to 3-S and Later gaining a little
more.
Provisions lacked any aggressive
support and displayed a tendency to
sag.
Subsequently the market took a
fresh upward swing, and there was an
estimate current hat the United
States carry-ovcr would be only 49,
000,00 bushels if not another bushel
were sold for export the next five
months.
Prices closed unsettled. / 1-2 to 3

SO too did gossip that the country was
not selling. Prices closed nervous, SIS
