Chicago Produce Market

Chicago, Sept. "a.
Corn today scored new high price
about fresh upturns in the value of
wheat. Assertions that the stock of
old corn is the smallest ever known
and that the movement of new corn
will be extremely small for some time
had a decided bullish effect. Wheat

1.09l to 1.09E. Corn finished to lac
up, oats at to &c advance. and pro-
visions unchanged to 1?c down:
Almost as soon as the market was
open, September delivery . t Ct corn ,p,a
season and during the day May deliv-
cry had also attained q new top figure.
Scarcity Of immediate supplies Of corn
continued to be acute and this circum-
stance was emphasized by further re-
ports Of frost damage to the new corn
ferings Of wheat were light and the
wheat market reflected the upward
swing of corn values. The fact that
hedging sales Of wheat at Winnipeg
were small in proportion to the large
receipts there was also a bullish influ-
ence, as was gossip about likelihood
of an increased tariff on wheat import
ed into the United States.
Highest prices of the day were cur
rent both for wheat and corn in the
final trading. Previous sellers of corn
found themselves in a pinch and made
doing so were forced to bid prices up.
At the finish No. yellow corn avail

Dealings in corn showed more vol
ume than has been the rule of late and

SITUATION IN. RUHR SIZED. .UP BY AMERICAN
International Chamber Rep. resentative at Paris Gives Summary of Condition
 as It Impressed Him
 After Personal Visit

WASHINGTON, March 24-Far from collecting German reparations, France has been unable to recover enough coal from the Ruhr district to pay the expenses of the occupa- tion. This is the assertion of Basil Miles, administrative agent of the American Chamber of Commerce at Paris, who has returned from trip through the occupied territory and to Berlin.
 The passive resistance policy of the German government, Miles found had practically universal support" among the German people and indica tions Of unrest in Germany, of dis content over rising prices and in- creasing unemployment, which were evident befcrc the French entry changed afterWard until the German people seemed to show a united front based on a fervid national spirit" at the time of his trip.
 Impede Transportation.
 While the French blockade was ef- flcient as against coal shipments into unoccupied Germany, the report said German resistance was making it diff ficult for tlte French to move coal westward.
 Before the occupation" the report +. something like s0,000 to 90.000 tons of coal day from the Ruhr. It is questionable whether they succeeded in moving westwards in the first five weeks ensuing anything like what they previously got in one day.
 ''The occupation of the Ruhr has been something like hitting a match with d hammer-not so destructive, but almost equally disturbing" Kernel of Observation.
 In the face of Systematic provo eation," Miles said. the French mili- tary had acted with moderation"
 Summing up his observations, Niles said:
 "As yet France is not receiving coal or other materials sufficient to offset her expenditures. On the oth- CT had. the resistance of Germany has been stlffened to an astonishing degree. The movement has staged au economic struggle of tremendous import. Central Europe alone is faced with Il latent coal shortage which is estimated at something like 500.000,000 tons per annum.
 Those who are optimistic hope that the drastic action of the French will in the course of the year pro- euce Il compromise and a final set tiement of the differences between France and Germany. If this result is achieved. in fact, it will be worth the money spent. both 70 Trance in particular and to the world in gen eral.
 "Otherwise, the world will continue 10 suffer from the political and eco- homie consequences of defective peace settlement"

$20, ,000, ,000 LOANED JAPAN FOR KOREANS
Wall Street Kept It Secret Three
 Weeks

NEW YORK, March 24.-After three weeks of secret parleys be- tween Wall street and Tokio, an American loan of $20, ,000, 900 to Jap of Korea was practically assured Fri day.
 Secrecy was made necessary, it was said in banking circles, because of intense foreign competition fer this loan. as well as rivalry among international bankers in New York
 Bonds for the s2O,ooO,o0o will be offered to American investors next week, it was learned unofficially at the American Notation group. Neither the interest rate to govern nor other offering terms were disclosed.
 At the Japenese end the Oriental Development company of Tokio, a semi governmental institution, is handling the transaction. The loan is understood to be guaranteed by the Japanese government.
 The Oriental Development company vas organized shortly after Japan annexed Korea in 1910. A subsequent treaty made it the agent for capi- talking the development of Korean tai, some s14.O0o,000, is chiefly en- couraging farming in the Korean peninsula.
 Most of the s2o,ooo,ooo loan will be used in Korea, 1t was indicated, but portions may be applied in Japan itself or in Manchuria, which borders on Korea for 500 miles.
 Korea is about the size of the state of Minnesota. but is extremely vir- gin in resource. Its agriculture is only less undeveloped than it's con- siderable mineral resource.

I'M MOBILE POSE
Paris Women In Nude Permitted In
 Theatres sr

PARIS, March 24.-Music hall managers met today to debate the interesting topic: When is a nude indecent
 The answer is: When she moves or talks"
 The nudity question was brought to a crisis by recent events on the Parision stage and by the artists ball two weeks ago, at which some of the models fox trotted all night clad only in slippers. q Fearing that such episodes would start deplorable gossip about Partisan life, the music hall magnates got to- gether to agree on some form of self regulations. They decided they must reach an understanding on how much stage nakedness should be per mitted. what constitutes indencency and what kind of nudity is aeithetic.
 After due consideration they agreed that If the nudes remain posed, jim mobile" and refrain from talking and singing then they are aesthetic and artistic.
 An order was issued that when girls appear behind the footlights in their birthday suits they must stand like statues. f
 Ministry of interior officials de- clared that they did not intend to hand down formal ruling on how much nudity is legal, but that they would prosecute each case on it's respective demerits.

HARDING'S SISTER SEES HOW OTHER HALF WORLD LIVES
Plenty of Thrills for Noted Visitor in Greenwich
 Village

NEW YORK. March 24.-Miss Ahi- gail V. Harding, the sister of the President, has gazed upon the won- ders of Marion, O., the glores of Washington, D. C., and the wilds of South America, but she never saw thing until she dropped in on Greenwich Village and looked over the long haired men and short haired women, scampering about while New York sleeps.
 But Miss Harding, when she start ed on ser tour shortly after mid night Thursday, did not venture into the land of the misunderstood alone. She took with her a party of fl, including several secret service men and her sister. Mrs. c. R. Harding Votaw. and she travelled incognito.
 Perhaps Miss Harding wondered as she stepped into the candle lighted Wind Blew Inn," or "The Indigo what in the world great big Irish policemen was doing in the center of the floor, tripping all the dancers with his No. 10's. Mayhaps she wasn't aware that the village, Amer ica's Bohemian quarter, had not yet ratified the Eighteenth amendment and that the law was there to pre-
 
 a nip from the hop.
 Miss Harding saw all those who do the big things. She saw the writers who never wrote anything but I. O. us; the artists who should still be practicing on the old back yard fence.
 She undoubtedly saw one f the many fair Bohemian girls enter one of the havens of peace and exclaim, Someone gimme a cigarette and a. match. have thought for lit- tie blank verse"
 Visits "Ovl Inn"
 The identity of the disting guished visitor was not revealed until she had left the village and entered the owl Inn" on the outskirts. The owl Inn" was about ready to close but a secret service man informed the manager that the Presidents ss- ter has dropped in to see the place. A special entertainment was provid- ed and the orchestra struck up "Rose of Picardy," which Miss Harding ap- plauded.
 Before she went to the village, Miss Harding made a tour of the white light district, entering one of the cabarets where ham sand-> wich costs s3.75 the copy. But from all that can be learned she didn't find out how the other half of the world lives until she entered the will lage.
 Miss Harding and her sister arrived here Tuesday from South America where she made an extended tour. But 1t was nothing like the vil- lage.
