CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
restart of tke Trading and Closing
Price oa Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, Dec. 30. Prospects that the
Sue, canal would become part of the
war aone had much to do today with
causing higher price In the wheat mar
ket here. The close wa bouysnt at lc
to 2Vf-'Hc net advance, with May $I.U7H
and July $1.18. Other leading staples
too, all showed gains corn. '≤ oats,
Ke to i4Hc and provision 22ci&''6f!.
Wheat trader In general assumed that
as a result of th Increasing war risk
which had caused the trebling of Insur
snoe rate on vessel routed oy way of
Hue any active competition rrom Aus
tralia or India would be largely shut
off. The outcome was an Immediate ad
vance In prices here. Reports that the
Canadian government had been selling
commandeered wheat led afterward to
setbacks, but denials followed, and th
market developed greater strength tnsn
before and specially when word came
that cargo quotations at Uverpool had
gone sharply higher.
Decreased receipts In the Amerlcsn
northwest cut considerable figure In
spreading bullish sentiment as to wheat.
Despite liberal selling on account of
favorable weather corn rose with wheat.
Recelpta were disappointing to the bears.
Oats hardened with other grain. It wa
said there would be a liberal movement
of oats from here as soon as the embargo
against shipments to the seaboard was
removed.
Provisions advanced owing largely to
buying on the part of grain houses. A
substantial upturn In the price of hogs
gave declderi help In lifting provisions.

Shippers got going In fair season and
started out paying fully 6c higher price
for the ort of hogs they wanted. They
paid as high a $6.60, and bought th
bulk of their hog around S6.40fto.4u.
Packer were slow getting started, and
their early offers were no more than
stesdy. Advices from other market
were, however, very encouraging and
nothing started selling until killers raised
their bids to the nickel higher notch.
Even then only a few hogs were i ashed,
and values were largely fglOc above yes
terday, when the bulk finally began mov
ing scaleward. Movement was not a
active a might have been expected on a
higher market, and trading dragged
through the greater part of the forenoon.

today are 6il0c higher than they wer
on December 1. Bulk sold at u.V(j ...

Wharton Writes
Name More Than
Mile Long to Checks
John C. Wharton, postmaster, wrote
mor than a mile of "John C Wharton"
signatures on pay checks In the last two
daya. '
That Is the estimate of the scientific
experts, sitting In solemn council about
tha desk on which the genial colonel was
slinging th Ink.
Each month h has to sign hla name to
2,750 pay check. There are 426 employe
in the Omaha office,' who are paid twice
a month, 360 railway mall clerks, who are
paid twice a month, and 1,200 Nebraska
rural carrier, who are paid one a month.
All these checks the Omaha postmaster
has to sign.
And he does It In on of the finest,
biggest, most graceful, legible . round
hands Imaginable, niuch Ilk the famous
signature of John Hancock on the
Declaration of Independence, only mor
beautiful. .
Well, It Is a very conservative estimate
to put th total dlstanc traveled by the
pen point In one of these signature at
two feet.
Multiplying this by the number oi
checks signed' gives 6.600 feet, which Is
Just 220 feet more than a mile.
This mile of signatures Is worth nearly
$300,000 to th people who cash the checks.
Which I more than a good newspaper
reporter make In a whole year.
