GRAIN

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Wheat had an cratic
trend today. The market was strong at the
start, but commission house pressure caused
dip. Thereafter prices had number
downturns was good. The pressure was
mainly local i'll character. The fact that
the visible supply decreased only 07S.OO0
bushels was bear factor, while the eSti-
mate by the United States bureau of mar
Eets on foreign crops was construed as
bearsh, especially the comment on the rice
crop showing normal crop of this cereal
for Japan and surplus of nearly 3,00O,0eO
pounds for Siam. While premiums for
spring wheat were frmer, red wheat was
quoted easier, one cash house reporting thai
they We're unable to get n bid three
cars of red winter wheat which they had
in. Domestic milling demand is quiet Sea-
board reported some business in both Amer
lean and Canadian wheat.
Wheat closed heavy, &c to 39sc net
lower.
Corn had a heavy tone. There was pres
sure from commission houses because of the
big receipts, while cash houses sold. The
buying was mainly scattered. but some buy
ing on the dip was believed to be for ex-
port account. Export bids were unchanged
but these permitted of only small margin
of profit and were 1 to lie under the
views of many shippers. Domestic shipping
demand was better.
Corn closed weak, sc to 1c net lower.
Oats were easy. Selling by leading longs
was q factor. Commission houses were on
both sides of the market. Cash oats were
in fair demand ut unchanged premiums. Re-
ceipts moderate. Provisions wern dull.
Liter trouble at packing plants caused a
lack of pressure.

HAVRE, Dec. 5.-By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-Charles w. Morse,

no profit would accrue to any one
and tremendous savings could be
made.
with such a plant the govern
ment could properly construct lock
systems on the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, rivers that would give us the
greatest and cheapest internal trans
portation system in the world-and
alta no cost, as the projects would
pay for themselves"
Pacing back and forth beside his
private car tonight, stopping occa-
sionally to shake hands with eager
sightseers, who advanced out of the
group to speak to him. Mr.. Ford de-
clared that the abolition Of war had
become to him the dominating mo-
tive of his life.
1--WE must free the world Of the
curse Of war;" he said. "War and
the makers of war must be out
lawed."
To bring about this thing,
to see all armies disarmed, and to
see all navies junked, Mr.. Ford has
determined to dedicate the balance of
his life.
Cause of War
''The cause of war;" MI. Ford de-
clared 'is gold. Gold has power be-
cause of it's false value resulting
from its acceptance as a medium of
exchange. We must break the evil
power of gold as a creator Of war"
do that one thing and you have
done away with war, because, basi-
cally, all wars are the result of the
lure of gold"
In the Muscle Shoals project, if
the government will accept his sug-
gestion, Mr.. Ford believes he can
demonstrate that the gold basis of
currency can be eliminated and nat
ural wealth substituted in it's place.
81 don't know that congress will
agree with me now or accept my
suggestion, but 1 do believe that the
people will, after they start studying
it over. If the government insists
on issuing bonds, I'm going to try
and get the entire block. I don't
want any bankers 81 this"

CRISIS REACHED
IN IRISH FARLEY

LONDON, Dec. 5.-"The Irish ne
gotiations today were plunged into
the greatest crisis of their history"
an informant conversant with gov
eminent opinion declared here to-
day.
The situation has reached such a
grave stage Premier Lloyd George
has decided to lay the entire matter
before the king.
The cabinet committee of Ireland
went into conferevce here this morn
ing, and it was announced a full
cabinet meeting will be held at
noon.
The crisis was forced by Sim Fein
when it rejected the latest proposals
of Lloyd George. 1t was apparent
they were unwilling to accept any
sort of allegiance to the king on
which the British government in
sisted.
Lloyd George probably will find
it impossible to go to Washington
while the fragile truce is so seri'
ously menaced, it was said.

A. In "a states there are laws
| which are regarded as satisfactory
for death registration, since at least
| 80 per cent of all deaths are regis
tered. In all states there are laws
under trial. which will probably be
found satisfactory, while in South
Dakota, Nevada and Arizona, she
laws do not secure good death regis
| tration.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 5.-After a rise of
0 to Is points on the opening today, in re-
Spouse to better cables than expected, the
cotton p!arket fell off and at the end of the
first half hour of trading was 3 to points
under the close of Saturday. January rose
to 16.S0c and fell back to 1900. The sell
ing appeared to be due to bearish talk con-
corning ginning.
Prices sagged slowly and in the trading
up to noon went to 10 points under the
last quotations of last week, January touch.
III 16.5sc. Much of the selling appeared
TO be due to the belief that private bureau
figures on ginning would appear after the
close Of the market and that they would be
high enough to be called bearish.
The rumor that a private bureau was out
with 1888, 900 bales ginned to the ?rst of
December sent prices to levels II to is
points under the finals of Saturday in the
trading up to 1870 O'Clock. January touched
