ToDAY,s CHICAGO PRICES.

CHICAGO, February 10. - Grain
prices scored an all-around advance
today during the early dealings. Buy
ing on the part of bull leaders ap-
peared to be chiefly responsible. to-
gether with q lack Of any aggressive
selling. Prospects of a slowing down
of the movement of the corn crop had
a strengthening influence on values.
Wheat opening quotations. which va
ried from unchanged figures to =

July 1.oSN to 1.0sA, were followed
by an upturn all around to well above

Stormy weather. led to belief that
sheIlinE and shipping of corn would
be delayed. After opening unchanged

Grain, Produce and
Live Stock

Appearance Of snow this morning
had its effect upon the early buying.
Dealers from various parts OF the Dis
trict and nearby Maryland and Virginia
were out. as usual. but buying was not
exceptionally brisk.
Dealers had ample supplies to meet
all demands and enough left over to
tide over any ordinary spell Of bad
weather. Recent cold weother gave
the meat market much better ap-
pearance and Increased the output at
prevailing prices.
1t was suggested by dealers that the
fall of snow might temporarily affect
the receipt of green vegetables from
nearby farms and the Norfolk section.
The weather bureau came to the res
cue with a prediction OF warmer
weather. however. and the storm con-
dition did not give dealers much con-

TRADE FROM MEXICO
Orders Come in From Southern Part
'..' OF Republic.

Mexican trade is reviving, accord
ing TO c. G.. Wolfe. trade extension
secretary of the San Antonio Cham
Der of Commerce, who stated that
during the last 30 days. calls for made
in-San Antonio merchandise have
reached this city through the trade
extension bureau, from remote towns
in the southern extremity of Mex.
leo.
As this condition has not existed
prior TO the last three months, calls
from Mexico being so scarce that they
were not considered even a small fac
tor in the trade situation, Mr.. Wolfe
fels that Mexico is reverting from rev.
dictionary ideas TO commerce once
more. The calls for merchandise have
represented practically all the lines
that are made or sold by wholesalers
in San Antonio.
As result of trade seasons and
trips, foreign merchants and dis
tributors are beginning to consider
San Antonio as the location for sales
rooms and branch houses. Mr.. Wolfe
said Inquiries have been received re-
Gently from many permanent indcpend-
ent organizations who are contcm-
plating the jobbing field here.
In order TO determine the policy
that will be pursued by the firms of
San Antonio who control the mar
ket at present. and in order TO dis
cuss the needs of this city as n mar
kcting center, a meeting of the manu-
facturers and jobbers will be held some
time in the near future. Mr.. Wolfe

to a decision by the umpire, walked
off the field in the first half of th:
ninth inning of game Sunday n.

1t happened this way, according to
best information. With runner on
base and one down, Rudwick of the
Chicks tripled to center. the runner
on base scoring. That made the score
3 to 4 for the Eagles. The throw
from the outficld hit one of the play
ers' benches and bounced back into
the infield. The Eagles first-base-
man picked up the ball and his peg
to the catcher caught Rudwick COM
ing in. The disputed point is whether
any players on the Eagle bench
touched the ball. Manager Virgil
Winters of the Eagles said they
didn't; Captain George Tucker of the
Chicks said they did. The umpire
decided the run was legal.
The Chicks after leaving the field
challenged the Eagles to another game

$1,000 into it year ago. They paid
her ii per cent for her $1,000 for q
year and then returned the $1,000.
That hooked her.
