GRAINS MOUNT /:
TO HIGH LEVEL /
FOR SEASON
Bull Market Inspired by
Higher Argentine Corn,
Bad Wheat Weather.
BIZ united press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 18.-Inspired by
higher corn prices in the Argentine,
and by unfayorable weather in the
domestic winter wheat belt, the bull
movement gained momentum here
today to force all grains to new
high levels for the season.
At the close wheat was Ia cent
to rs cent higher, corn was up l7s
to 21s cent and oats were Ia cent
to 25s cents higher. Provisions
closed slightly lower
Wheat underwent general buying
in the early trading, which carried
all deliveries to new highs on the
present movement, and July to a
new high on the crop.
Weakness at Liverpool was more
than Offset by the strength in corn.
There was a good deal of invest+
ment buying on the alternate thaw-
ing and freezing over practically the
entire winter wheat belt.
No export business was reported.
Further reports of drouth dam
age in Argentina, and sharply
higher market there, sent corn flu
lures to new highs at the opening.
Country offerings to arrive over
night we're very light and came
largely from Iowa. The weather is
not expected to clear before Sattr-
day
Oats reached new high levels with
the advance in corn, but trading
was not so active as in other pits
and there was no significant news.
Cash markets were: Waeat, 8
cars; corn, 207, and oats, 4S.

CLARENDON, Va, october 19.-In
commenting today upon his announce
ment that the Virginia State Highway
Commission is to resurface Garrison
road and Memorial Drive, r. I. Mount,
resident State highway engineer, stated
that he had not intended to give the
impression that these roads would be
permanently hard surfaced.
While it might generally be believed
by the public that the treatment of a
road with tar and gravel was hard sur
facing, Mount said, in the parlance of
the highway engineers this is but a
temporary treatment for the relief of
those using the roads
What the commission is really going
to do" Mount said. lis give these roads
a surface treatment of tar or asphalt
with quarter Of an inch of Clipped
stone. This same type of treatment Is
also to be administered to Glebe road
from the Lee Highway to Columbia
pike"
Garrison road and Memorial Drive
do not constitute the "straight-to-the-
bridge" route, he said, since this route
has not yet been definitely selected by
the Highway Commission.
At meeting of the John Marshall
Highway Association this announcement
was made several weeks ago. but the
route from Clarendon to Falls Church
by the way of Garrison road and Me-
mortal Drive has been commonly known
In the county for some time as the
'straigh t-to-the-bridge" route. a gen.
eral impression having prevailed since
the acquisition of all of Garrison road
and part of Memorial Drive by the
state that it was for this purpose that
Eoth highways were taken over.
