Chicago Market
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

Chicago. Dec. S.-yheat averaged
higher in price Friday owing chiefly to
buying associated with President Hard
ing's message. The market closed firm
at the same as Thursdays figures to
one cent up, with May $117A to $1.17as,
and July S1.08B to $1.0SA. Corn closed
unchanged Il h@Ac lower, oats un-
changed to one cent higher, ~and pro
visions varying from five cents decline
to a gain Of 2 cents.
It was only for a brief time around
the opening that unexpected lower
quotations at Liverpool had any in
fleunce on the wheat market here. The
Liverpool decline vas ascribed to a
bearish estimate Of the probable yield
OF wheat in Argentina. Attention here,
however, was occupied for the most
part with gossip about what the presi-
dent would say In regard to agriculture,
and about financing exports OF food
stuffs. Many traders expected that the
message would prove bullish and they
Summaries of the message failed to
equal bullish an~ticipations. and there
was a good deal Of wheat selling on
the part Of early buyers. The market
decline brought about a renewal of
purchasing. With domestic primary re-
ceipts falling off and with European
crop reports construed az rather
bullish, the market closed firm. little
notice being given to ar assertion that
Russia had 2,5O0,0O0 bushels of grain
available for export.
Heavier receipts had a bearish effect
on the corn market slightly more than
offsetting the influence OF wheat

Provisions were dull, but were
steadied by firmness Of hog values.

BRADsTREET's REVIEW

New York, Dec. S.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
"The first real winter storm resulting
with cold or snow in northern areas
and rains further south, plus an in
crease in holiday buying. has served TO
s~ccentuste previous contracts between
retail ard jobbing trade oil one hand
and pura.g wholesale distribution on
the other.
Retail buying is the first instance last
winter. heavy wearing apparel. foot
wear and holiday specialties predomi-
mating. In this after direction, active
advertising, which IS apparently under
a full head of steam, is reported bring
ing a good volume Of business to de
partment stores and large retailers.
Southern reports in most cases are
rather less satisfactory.

Court Frees Second
Husband of ALim0nu

Women whose husbands have di-

violation of the District code can
not expect their second husband
to pay alimony,
This decision as made yesterday
by Justice Hoehling in Equity Court
In dismissing a suit for limited di-
vorce and alimony filed by Mrs. Anna
NJ. Diversion against Albert F. OIL
verson. Reasoning in the case
hinged upon the fact that Mrs. Oh
verson was found to be the guilty
party in the divorce obtained by
her former husband, William c.
Hefin. and therefore. under the Dis
rict code. had no right to remarry.
Mrs. olverson's attorney. Ray
mond Neudecker. who will take the
case TO the Court of Appeals. claims
that the decision means that men
who have married women divorced
under the same circumstances as
Mrs. Diversion. have the right to
refuse to support their wives.

Department of Justice
Starts Investigation
OF Rumors.
PENALTY is SOUGHT
Means to Curb Activities May
Be Found in Trust
PENALTY is SOUGHT

Information that inscriptions
merchants have seized upon the
railroad situation as an excuse to
boost prices of foodstuffs yester-
day started an inquiry by the De-
partment Of Justice to determine
what measures the government may
use to curb attempts at profiteer-
ing.
While IT was admitted that the
department seems to be without
the necessary laws to handle such
a situation should 1t arise imme-
diately. officials declared they
would use every means within their
powed to protect the public against
unfair prices.
Burns Finds Pronteering.
william J. Burns. chief of the
Bureau Of investigation of the De-
partment Of Justice. received re-
ports from reliable sources that
several merchants had already
raised their prices and that there
was a general tendency on the part
of others to follow in line.
Mr.. Burns sent this information
to the Attorney General and an
nunced he would have to await Mr..
Daugherty's orders before he could
proceed with a thorough investi-
cation. Mr.. Burns is ready. he
said. to go to the bottom Of the
case within a short time and sup
ply the department with a list of
all grocers and food dealers who
. have raised their prices to unfair
levels.
Cancellation of wartime measures
giving the government authority
TO prosecute profiteers in fovd-
stuns has left officials in a guam
dairy as to just how far their au-
thority extends. Experts spent sew
eral hours examining existing stat
utes.
May Use Trust Laws.
II was pointed out that a COM
b'nation of dealers to raise prices
by concerted action might make the
parties TO such a pact liable under
the Sherman and Clayton acts,
Thus far, however, this is the only
step the officials have found at
their disposal
On every hand persons in a posi-
tion to know market conditions
mere declared an increase in prices
at this time Is wholly unwarranted
ana declared housewives should re-
fuse TO patronize dealers who adopt
such measures. Food trains have
been coming into Washington reg
uiarly and there has been no let-up

"hIe virtually all trains have
been late. there has been no lack
in the quantity of food and all of
the markets are flooded. Rather
than being in a position to Increase
prices. several experts said, the
merchants are almost overstocked
and almost at the point where they
should bring prices down.

thank you, sir"
The official side Of the matter
was expressed with more caution
by c. II. Freed. of the department
of ticket sales.
People are timid because of the
strike. Business is not as good as
1t would be II there were no trou-
ble," he admitted. Our traffic Is
always greater in summer than in
winter. however. and the amount
this summer almost equals that Of
last year"
Many Trains Late.
A more pronounced detection
from regular schedules of trains
entering Washington than at al
most any time since the opening
Of the strike was noted yesterday.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
train from st. Louis and Cincin-
natl due here at 2:65 p. m. did not
arrive until 6:15 p. m. This train
has been late often, but never as
late as yesterday.
One hour behind time was the

Chicago could run to her schedule.
