Closing Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Corn led a
fresh upturn in the grain market
today with gains of as much as
2 cents a bushel at one stage that
put September futures contracts
over 81 bushel for the first time
since 1887. Wheat was up about
a cent to new tops for more than
five years, May futures selling as
high as S1.41.
Mill buying of wheat and rye and
purchases of corn by industries to-
gether with general commission
house and professional trade activ-
ity accounted for the fresh upturn
of prices. Wintry weather and war
time demand for corn products was
q factor in the market.
Wheat closed q 2-l14 cents higher
than yesterday, May l407s-l. l.1,
July 1.4lh -1.41ss; corn, 1ia-2
higher, May $685., July 991s $685.;
oats. A-5s higher; rye, l1s-l5s
higher; soybeans, 1A-2 higher.

Further investigation uncovered
5. Caruso meat and wine dealer, who
rents the building on the back of
which the sign hung. Mr.. Caruso
confided the fact he had been in
the building for more than 10 years
and he had seen no Japanese
Chinese restaurant.
/ When it began to look as if Moth
ing had ever existed except the
sign. few oldtimers in the neigh
borhood recalled that not only had
the Representatives, restaurant
been there, but Rumanian restau-
rant, too-and both had moved
more than II years ago.
The only problem left, then, was
the sign itself and Mr.. Caruso took
immediate steps. He had a boy
scramble up ladder and remove
the Japanese Chinese sign. A few
tugs and the sign dropped, only to
reveal sign for the Rumanian
restaurant. Another tug and that
went the way of all signs, too.
So everything is peachy now

For a long, long time, selectees
stared out the rear window of Draft
Board No. % and fumed-fumed
nightly and loudly at the sign
hanging on the building across the
alley.
Two Chinese boys muttered they
would take matters in their bare
hands unless somebody-anybody-
tore that thing down.
One selectee suggested a blast
from a well-aimed trench mortar
and two FBI men concerned them
selves to the extent of finding out
why in blazes that sign across the
alley still read
"Japanese-Chinese Restaurant
chop suey, 25 cents; chow mein. IS
cents; Yacomein, Is cents; entrance,
1914 Fifth street NE"
The Chinese part was ok, but
who had the nerve to poke that Nip
angle into the picture-and a res
taurant. too
Nobody had particularly noticed
the Slgn-Out loud, anyWay-until
the news of the Jap execution of
the American flyers sensitivized per-
sons to even the mention of the
word japanese.
The mutterings grew so loud that
the FBI and all concerned investi-
gated-expecting, no doubt, to find
spy or two.
A casual investigation disclosed
nothing even approaching a Jap
anese restaurant. Then some one
began meditating on the prices
listed on the sign-chop suey, 25
cents-not for a long time had prices
been that low.
