Chicago, Jan. Observation-Disclosures
erroneous assertions that the Argentine ex-
port tax on wheat has been removed led to
declines in the wheat market today but a
quick rally ensued. The rally was due to
opinions that the supposed removal had
nothing to do with the 1921 crop Or the
other hand bears commended that world fl
naneial and economic conditions precluded
any sharp Advance fer grain. Opening
prices. which varied from &c to PIC lower
with March $1.71A to $1.72 and May Sl.62N
to 81 IS, were followed by upturns that in
some cases went above yesterdays finish.
: subsequently, absence of export business
together with Indications that leading
long was selling did a good deal to weaken
the market. Prices closed heavy, 31ae to

and the country church is left prac-

the blame for this condition whore IL

preacher. He is not efficient; he
cannot preach; he does not draw

something like this. when addressing

Nobody claims perfection for the
preacher. but this thing is not all
caused by him, and as Bishop Quayle

in the hearts OF the folks which Is
far more responsible for our country
