CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Sept. 29.-Wheat took
a decided upward swing today,
chiefly as result of speculative
buying based on opinions that a
rally was overdue. The market
closed strong. 1c to 21sc net high
er, with December $1.23 to $1.2SA
and May $1.27h to $1.27% Corn
finished Rc lower to &c to sc up,
/ oats at &c decline to &c advance
and provisions unchanged to S5c
! lower.
At first wheat continued its de-
cline with most traders giving
much attention to the lack of any
important European demand for
shipments from the United States
Bears put emphasis too on reports
that Germany, Italy and France
had raised larger wheat crops this
year than last. Word that flour
business at Minneapolis was dull
counted also depressing factor. In
the last half nour OF the day. how
ever, persistent buying of wheat
by professional operators who have
been conspicuous on the selling
side of late absorbed all the sur
plus offerings, and forced values
into a rapid ascent. The market
closed at the topmost level, al
though further rain in Canada
causing crop damage was about the
only bullish new development in
sight.
Corn and oats fluctuated with
wheat. On the downturn. Septem-
Der corn touched the lowest price
on record since 1906 for that
month.
Lower quotations on hogs weak
ened provisions, especially lard. in
which liquidating sales were heavy.
Closing prices:
Wheat - Dec. 1928; May,
$1.27h.
Oats-Dec., 365sc; May. 40Bc.
Pork-Sept., $1,000.
Lard-Oct., 1856; JAN, s9.02.
Ribs-Oct., s6.S5; JAN, $7.65.

VERSE OF TODAY
AN EIGHTEENTH CENTURY NOVELIST

She fourished in those far-off stilted days
When anguor the mode and dropping eyes
Employed by heroines demurely wise,
Who met devotion with pensive gaze,
And sorrowed DER the error of their ways
If for bit they dignity forgot,
Or let light mirth their genteel voices raise.
And, since these naughty folk did nothing RASH
She practiced what she preached; her simple
guile
She covered with melancholy smile,
If critics called her current novel trash
And wrote another with as narrow scope,
Which sold again beyond her fondest hope.

Frances firm attitude on the question
of submarines may strongly affect the
outcome of the Allied Supreme Council
conference at Cannes. according to the
editorial opinion expressed in some Ber-
lin newspapers.
diplomacy Of particular shrewdness.
This paper says that England secretly
is opposed to Secretary Hughes's naval
disarmament proposal. but that IL did
not desire to take the moral blame for
refusing to reduce naval armaments.
Therefore Englan: calmly accepted the
Hughes plan because sno knew that re-
sistance would come anyhow from Japan
but chiefly from France. which countries
would thus take the blame themselves
while England saved her face. The
Lokal Ansciper says further:
from an aesthetic standpoint II Is
keen pleasure to see In what a mastery
fashion British diplomacy has turned
the clumsiness Of the French to its own
advantage"
Then turning to the Cannes meeting
this newspaper continues For Eng
land the number OF French submarines
is mucn more lInpprtant tnHn tne uegree
OF bankruptcy into which Germany has
been driven. II Is therefore very likely
that following conventional precedents
an accord between the divcrging English
and French interests will this time again
be found at Germany's expense"
The conservative Tdegiiche Rtnd-
schdu publishes an alarming rnnor OF
alleged French preparations for new
military sanctions. This newspaper un-
mistakably alludes to entrance of the
Ruhr district.

LONDON AGGRIEYED
AT FRENCH STAND
Continued from First Page.

American proposal for limitation OF
this arm will be acclaimed in France
as a diplomatic success. The language
used makes ii clear that the Minister'S
could not have abated the full claim
advanced in Washington without ex-
posing themselves to an immediate
overthrow. We regret France 3
decision for many reasons. 1t cannot
but have a somewhat unfortunate effect
upon American opinion. The settlement
as for capital ships insures for the
Washington conference success in the
largest and most important field, but
the failure to reach a settlement on the
submarine question and the claim of
France for a very large auxiliary feet
undeniably will prevent it from achiev-
ing all that America hoped 1t would
achieve. The disappointment will be
considerable and may have regrettable
effects upon the attitude Of the Ameri-
can people toward many important
problems"
The Daily Chronicle says: "A great
part Of the world.I hope of limiting naval
expenditure dangers and Jmpetitive
rivalry has been defeated, amid regrets
and protests by the United States. Great
Britain. Italy and Japan. by the selfish
militarism of France. That is q plain.
ugly fact for which 1t Is useless to try
&c find pretty names. France has played
at Washington exactly the part which
Germany played CT old at The Hague.
1t is not a figure Of speech to say she
has stepped into Germany's shoes. .
To a pacific, unaggressive France Great
Britain would naturally remain attached
by ties of exceptional strength. But no
nation--not even France--oan retain our
attachment If It continues thus overtly
plotting against our own security. the
liberties of Europe and the worlds
peace"
The Westmfnstei. Gasette says: "It is
necessary, We fear, to make up our mind
that France is determined upon open
hostility to the Washington conference
and to accept whatever consequences
may follow from that attitude. Presi-
dent Harding is unlikely to accept this
rebuff and admit himself beaten by one
European dissentient. In whatever other
respects the Washington conference may
have failed, 1t will at least have had
the result Of uniting the English speak
ing people on the policy laid down by
the American Administration OH No

HANIHARA BARS s21'
DEMANDS AT PARLEY
Treaty Held Not a Subject
for Open Discussion.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 Associated
Press) The Chino-Japanese treaty of
1915, known as the twenty-o one demands.
Is not proper subject for consideration
by the Washington conference, IL based
on any question of its validity or any
campaign to see it abrogated, Vice.
Foreign Minister Hanihara, one Of the
Japanese delegates. reiterated tonight
during discussion of Far Eastern
topics with newspaper correspondents.
Some of the correspondents brought
up the text OF the note which the United
States Government sent to China and
Japan on May 13, 1915. in which it was
declared that ''in view of the circum-
stances of the negotiations which have
taken place and which are pending be-
tween China and Japan, and of tho
agreements which have been reached as
n result thereof. the Government of the
United States has the honor to notify
the Government Of China that 1t cannot
recognize any agreement impairing the
treaty rights Of the United States or
it's citizens"
"The twenty-one demands of the
treaty" Mr.. Hanihara said, must not
interfere with the treaty rights of the
United States or other nations. II there
Ia any question concerning the treaty 1t
is one to be dealt with directly between
the Chinese and Japanese Governments
am not in position to say what
concessions, If any. will be made in
connection with this treaty by direct
negotiations with China" If any coun-
try outside OF China considered that
its rights were affected. he concluded.
Japan was ready to answer any ques-
ton In explaining the meaning of the
treaty

BRITISH NOW HOPEFUL
ON SUBMARINE ISSUE
Believe Balfour Amendment
Will Turn French Flank.
Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD

Washington. ID. C., Dec. 90.
The British feeling of pessimism re-
gardng the submarine issue was some
what lessened tonight as the result of
the offer Mr.. Balfour made to-day Of an
amendment to the Root resolution lay
ing down rules for the operation of SUBJ
marines.
The Balfour amendment proposes that
the flve naval Powers now in conference
adopt the rules of the Root resolution
as regards each other the point being,
as one of the British epokesmen put It,
"If any two or these five nations.
through apparently impossible circum-
stances. should go to war with each
other. the rules would automatically go
into effect"
The British feel they have turned the
flank Of the French and appear con-
fident that their amendment. which was
under discussion when the committee
meeting adjourned this afternoon, will
receive the support OF everybody. They
point out that the representatives OF
every nation Mt the conference have. at
one time or another since the sessions
began, expressed themselves emphatl-
cally as having no intention of ever
using the submarine against commerce.
Consequently, the British cannot see how
they can fail to support the Balfour
amendment
"1f the strong voice OF these five
Powers goes out, the other Powers of the
world will listen" said one Of the British
delegates.
While the details are yet to be worked
out, the British attitude seems TO be that
Il would be well TO declare the nation
violating this rule a pirate. A point was
brought out by the British that not much
could be accomplished by declaring only
the guilty submarine and It's commander
pirates without reaching out for the
Government back Of them. They de-
clarcd that the commander should be
pronounced pirate unless he can pro-
duce written orders from his Govern
| ment. In the event he does, he should
not be held responsible for committing
an act refusal TO commit which would
penalize him by death at the hands Of his
| own Government.

The meeting here tomorrow around
a conference table OF British and French

Entente countries simultaneously with
the presence in this city Of Germans like
Dr. Walter Rathenau, industrial leader
and one time Minister of Reconstruc-
ton, and Dr. Hans Fischer. chairman
Of the War Debt Commission, can be
taken as the first real hopeful sign that
Europe is on the verge Of an economic
reconstruction.
1t is giving a feeling Of optimism that
is badly needed here in the face Of to-
days news from Italy of the financial
crisis in that country. and indicates that
Germany is desirous of sharing in the
conversations at the Cannes conference.
