The entire grain list finished strong
at nearly the days top figure, corn
23@2s to Ssc net higher. wheat 10 to
~ up, oats showing l to &c advance
and provisions were unchanged to
rise of 22c.
Developments in the corn market
were of such a character that some
trade leaders expressed an opinion
there would be little heavy movement
of corn at any time this season. With
deliveries OF only $4,000 bushels here
today on December contracts, much
small amount than had been looked
for, and with no selling pressure in
the market gave buying which took
place a jump in values.
Prospective heavy feeding of live
stock helped further to life the corn
market.
Announcement Of some all rail ex-
port business in hard winter wheat
from here was taken as significant OF
an upward trend for wheat values.
Oats and rye as we'll as corn and
wheat acted overSOld.
Provisions were responsive to grain
strength.

 In submitting the interpolation the socialist deputy, 'ointain, said: i've socialists think we should not refuse Italy, whose population is in- crcasiug regularly her place in the sun. but cannot admit tho fashion Of asking for that place. We see Italy's action as tending to disturb tho peace"

U. s. S. West Virginia
 Establishes Record

San Pedro, Cal. April 2a Rl-- The [, $, s, West Virginia has es- tablished a worlds record in anti aircraft gunnery. Nine direct hits Were scored on an aerial sleeve tar get April 19, in single salvo, navy officers said today. The hits were made by the starboard five inch guns of the supordreadnought.
 The four-inch battery ripped a 16-foot cylinderical sleeve, lowed across the ships beam at speed of 70 miles an hour by q torpedo plane at an altitude of approximately 12,- 900 feet.
 Gunnery officers declared the cf- tectiYeness Of the antl-aircraft bat tery was established from the fact that a bombing plano loaded with explosive could not reach that height.
