CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Wheat underwent something of a setback in price today largely as 8 result of increased selling due to stock market weakness. The close in wheat was unsettled, 1-Sc, to 7-Sc net lower, with May Sl.15 to $1.15 IS and July $1.G7 to S107 1-8. Corn lost 3-8 to 1 1-4c, oats finished lie off to 1-Sc advance. and provisions down five cents to 15 cents.
 Wheat showed indications, of down ward tendency at the outset, but this appeared to Ie merely by way of re- sponse to lower quotations at Liverpool. and was soon more than offset by news of further rain interfering with the Ar genuine harvest. Besides a leading crop expert was out with a statement that domestic winter wheat acerage had de- creased 10 per cent, and had fallen in condition seven points below the av- craze. Talk of farm relief legislation at Washington counted also to some ex- tent as temporary bullish factor.
 Simultaneous with bearish develop ments in the stock market talk became current that receipts of corn here from Iowa promised to be much larger. soon. and holders of December corn contracts started to unload. About the same time, reports. of q slowing up of flour demand were likewise in circulation.
 In observance of an aggressive buy ing, wheat prices dropped quickly. To ward the end of the day, however, pres sure to sell diminished and the dwheat market was rallying again at the last. Big elevator interests were said to have been among the principal sellers of corn. Houses with eastern connections were also active in letting go of the December delivery. - The oats market displayed considerable resistance to following the leadership of corn and wheat. Provisions were governed by the course of hogs values.

CANTON IS CH|NA'S
 FORCED OPEN DOOR
Was Considered Important Portal
 for Western Influences

Washington. July IA - Canton
 which was the seat of the "Southerr Republic" of China, and which has recently fallen before the armies Of the north, is described in the follow ing bulletin from the Washington D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic Society az the most i'm portant portal through which western influences have entered China:
 If the we'll worn phrase, the open door to China were applied specific ally. Canton would undoubtedly fu the description more truly than any other city," says the bulletin. But the explanation would have to be added that at times the Canton portal has been kept open only by the for cibe planting in 1t of the heavy foot of the powers.
 Where European Traded.
 a"There in 1517 the first commercial contacts were made between China and the West when the Portuguese obtained permission to trade with the Cantonese. Later the Dutch. the English. the French. and finally. the Yankees sent their ships and traders to the city. For time it was the only city which the authorities of China permitted to have intercourse with the western barbarians.'
 "Canton's priority was not alone in trade, The first Roman Cath olic mis- Honaries to China settled in 1871 at Macao, a few miles down the river from Canton, and ten years later be- gan wrk In Canton itself The city, too, had one of the first Moham- medan mosques to be established among the Chinese; and there in 1907 the first Protestant missionary to China settled.
 Pricked Ky Western Ideas.
 Although the Cantonese were probably more alert to begin with than the Chinese of other regions, they undoubtedly have been quick ened and made more progressive by the constant stimulus of contact with westerners during the past 400 years. Their western visitors aroused their curiosity, with the result that the Cantonese are, par excellence, the emigrants of China. Thousands of them have graduated from the Unit ed States and Canada, South America South Africa, and Europe, where while serving as cooks or laundry men, restaurateurs. shopkeepers, or lottery magnates, they have in some absorbed western ways and ideas. Back in Canton, they have not failed to leaven somewhat the oriental lump. It is not strange, then, that from Canton have come on numerous occasions pressure against conserv- ative Peking for reform, and at times revolution. Some sort of breach be tween north and south China was in- evitable in recent years; and it was

former years. The primary cause Is too much speed in approach.
 All the crossing tenders and em- ployes of the railroad company throuh It's safety department are now reporting the numbers of all cars which approach too rapidly for safe " and this department is undertak- ing to discipline such cases.
 Cutting In.
 Cutting in' on through roads or passing out another car at any i'm proper location is unpopular with this department and each authentic case will be severely disciplined Ev- cry complaint will be investigated and when proper the participant will be given a hearing.
 The state police are now active in patrol of highways and are well in control of this sort of offense, but this Is a type which must be abso- lutely stamped out. To do that will take concerted public opinion and ef- fort.
 Organizations Must Speed Up.
 Safety committees in cities need to get in closer touch with this depart ment. The department is anxious to give information and to help in any way that it can to encourage activ- ity and especially asks members of those committees to correspond and take up any special problems which may occur to them and to give the such information as is possible from time to time so that it will be known what the situation is whether the committee is function ing, and in a general way how to take hold of the problem more aggressive ly and accomplish better results.
 The press continues to carry a large volume of editorial comment on ac- cidents. All of 1t Is extremely useful.

STATISTICS GIVEN
 ON AUTO ACCIDENTS
Letter Sent to Police Chiefs
 Throughout the State

The following letter has been sen to all the police chiefs and others in terested in the campaign for less mo tor vehicle accidents by the state mo tor vehicle department:
 Analysis of the weekly accident re ports must long since have convinced you that the efforts of the present drive 10 prevent accidents are direct. cd at the right features.
 From now on the proposition tc prevent accidents Tn the cities oi Connecticut resolves into an attempt to intensity and 10 provide more care than has been exercised in the past Discipline must be more actively ap- piled and the warning systems as conducted by organizations must he speeded up. The department has received from some of those organizations a sub stantial number of complaints and in each instance has followed up and tried to accomplish the corrective ac- tion needed. More of this is needed.
 Fatal Accidents
 A comparison of the statistics of fatal accidents covering a period of six months In each of the years 1920, 1921 and 1922 can now be made. 1870 January to July ......... IT 1921 January to July ...... SS 1922 January to July ...... 67
 Twenty one less in 1922 than 1921 and to-less than 1920. Fifty-three of the s7 in 1922 were pedestrians.
 Consider in this connection that there are about ne-quarter more cars on the road than in 1920.
 The bad months in each year are yet to come. Experience shows that October and November provide the worst conditions and the most fatal accidents
 General accidents of all types are Oh the increase over former years.
 Reported to the Department January to July 1921........ 2714 January to July. 1e22........ 3639 June, 1922 ...........,..... 9s3 m We may expect a worse record of Yatal accidents and we must strain every nerve to prevent it.
 Speed at Intersections
 Speed at intersections must be con trolled even more carefully. This is the most important single activity and 1t calls especially for enforcement by police authorities It cannot be stopped in any other way than by drastic police measures so that in each city there will be a reputation that the police are enforcing this par ticular rule in a determined manner. Analysis of accidents still shows that this form predominates over all oth- CTS.
 Hand Signals .
 The hand signal system is~ being more generally used than in any prior time in the history of motor vehicle driving in Connecticut It is becoming better and better under stood and when persisted in as an ed- ucational problem, will show results.
 Pedestrians
 Tn many of the cities of the state crossings for pedestrians have been recently and carefully marked This marking is extremely useful. It fol- lowed up by police insistence that the marking be observed, 1t will save time, speed up traffic and save acci- dents.
 Grade Crossing Accidents
 This type, always serious persists in about the same proportion as in
