15ulk of Crop in
Producers' Hand'
Miirkciing ('oiitiiliong In
prnvdiMitcil in Last Six
Years Not Result of
Speculation.
Chicago, Nov. !. Corn marketing
conditions, unprecedented at any
time In the last six year, are stir
ring up the liveliest aort of Interest
among grain trader here. The out.
standing feature attracting attention
la that within about 0 ilaya the value
of corn has soured 17 cents a bushel
at a, time when the bulk of the crop
U still lu producers' bunds.
What this situation means to the
farming community and to the busi
ness relation of the country at large
v.-a a authoritatively dlacur.sed In a I
statement isxued today by if. VV. Hnow
of liartlctt'l-'raxler company, former
assistant secretary of agriculture at
Washington, Mr. Know said:
'Tho advance In corn la not specu
lative in character, but la the result
of growing appreciation in market
centers of the country situation. The
crop Is some 301,000,000 bushels short
ot last yenr, and the mocks of old
corn carried over are artoout 100,000,000
bushels smaller than a year ago, so
that the available supply for the coin
Ing year Is fully 4o0,00D,u00 bushels
smaller tliun was tho case the past
year. The surplus of corn accumu
lated as a result of war urging and
post war prices, has been used up
and we are once again on a basis of
current supply uud demand."
Originated in Country,
"The present price movement has
had its origin In the country, with the
farmers as the price-making factor.
The country set the pace by paying
more for corn for feeding purposes, In
transactions between farmers, than it
commanded In terminal markets. Or
dinarily Iowa corn la tributary to the
Chicago market, but this year west-
rn, southwestern and local feeder de
mand has created a price that con
tinues above a Chicago parity. Cali
fornia yesterday paid 66 cents a bushel
for corn In Omaha, a price fully 7 to 8
cents above Chicago' relative quota
tions. Under these conditions there is
no materia 1 accumulation of corn
stocks at terminal markets, and the
ordinary commercial demand lias to b8
satisfied with current receipts.
I mutual Profit.
'The spread between prices of thin
cattle and fatted stock in the stock-
urds shows an unusual profit to
farmers from feeding operations,
while hog prices are such as to net
probably a dollar a bushel for corn
marketed in that form. Corn has al
ready advanced 17 cents a bushel or
more, and at a time when the crop is
still In piiiilui'i'H' hands, so that the
further and country business gener
ally are netting the full In-nefit of
the Improved coin situation." '

des Region Horked hy
Tremor.
Guatemala City, Nov, 16. Earth
shocks vera felt throughout the
Andes rem-lon yesterday, two distinct
movement b-lng noted at Villa
Canale. It Is believed the tremors
were connected with the earthquakes
in Chile.
Santiago, Chile, Nov, 16. The In
habitants of Santiago were much
alarmed (nrly this morning when a
slight earth shock was felt here, tho
motion nppurcnlly being vertical. Tho
tremor beari at 1:40 o'clock.
Htrong shocks were reported from
Copiapo and La Serena at 12:L'5 a. in.
The director of a private meteor,
ologlcal instiute hud forecast an earth
movement at 2 o'clock, due to the
conjunction of the moon mid Satutn.
l-ilspatclies from Copiapo report the
artivul flare of a medical and relj.-f
party, bringing a hirgo stock of food
and medicines. The medical ofllcer
of the party found a number of Iho
injured lying in the open air In the
vineyards, as the hospital, which was
built in 148, had been completely
ruined. Other victims to the num
ber of 50, mostly aged persons, were
huddled in a motion picture theater,
lacking proper ventilating facilities.
The patients were In need of most of
the essentials.
There conditions, however, are
stated to lie surpassed by those In
Vl(ciiar,. where bodies styi remain
beneath the ruins, their decomposition
constituting a serious menace to the
public health. The inhabitants with
out food are living In a continual state
of terror, sleeping on the nearby hills.
Breaking of the pipes has left the
town without water.
(iratcftil to Harding
Tho news that President Harding Is
sending warship to Gunsco with sup
plies was received here with expres
sions of gratitude on all sides. While
doubtless the vessels cannot arrive
for another week, it is considered cer
tain, judging from continued reports
of the serious conditions and appeals
for relief from the district, that the
aid will be timely.
Despite the railroad connections to
the north, the quickest means of com
munication with the district, even ii
normal times, Is by ship and it Is be
lieved some weeks will elapse before
it is possible to deliver all the sup
plies necesnary to allay distress.
Much Appreciation was expressed
for the olTer of assistance from the
American Red Cross, but so far aa
known, no decision has been taken.
Announcement yesterday that it had
))rpn ,ted apparently was due to
misconstruction of President Ales-
sandries mesMige of thanks to Presi
dent Harding. it is understood the
authorities!, before accepting, are en-
leavorlng to ascertain more definitely
the extent of the damage and tjie
number of pt-isons In need of us-

Public Mind on
Dry Laws Shifting,
Says-President
Prophesies Prohibition En
forwment Act Will Be
"Liberalized" in Letter lo
N. Y. Association.
New York, Nov. 16. A letter from
President Harding on prohibition en
forcement was read by Mrs. Corinne
Hooscvelt Koblnson, sister of Theo
dore Roosevelt, to 'the members of
the Republican Neighborhood associa
tion. Mrs. Robinson denied the reporters
permission to copy the letter, so its
exact wording may not be reproduced,
but the general trend of It was a
prophecy nf "liberalizing" the pro
hibition enforcement act'.
Public Mind Shifting. ,
President Harding anid he did not,
expect ever to see tho 18th amend
ment abolished, but that undoubtedly
the public mind was shifting some
whnt in Regard to the prohibition enj
forcenient.
Prohibition could never bo taken
wholly out of polltiue, he said, be-
cause there would always be prohibi
tionists who would clamor to enforce
it, and autl prohibitionists who would
wish to sea It weakened. However,
when tho enforcement laws had been
liberalized, the president intimated
thai its importance as a political issue
Would grow lens, though there would
be no freedom from dlscusilon of it
until the next k-eiierniion.
Id Open Fight.

victory for the rhulriiuiu of the union

(leorge into Hie wilderness, on Iho
rimvletlon that the country was ripe
for a return to straight party polities,
and in the linn belief that the nation
would support their conviction by
sending the conservative to the house
of common with a good working ma
jority. Their confidence ha been amply
Justllled, Wednesday' elections huve

scribed lis a latldslide, as Hie cons- rva
lives at the siiine time of Hie disso
lution of p.irlliiment. numbered ulmul
880, it anioiuits almost to the same
thing, 'considering thai peculiar cir
cumstances of Hi" time and the high
hopes held by the labor and liberal
yurty of the return of the country
to progressive views, and IL may be
supposed that the conservatives Uu-m-selves
hardly expected such favora
ble results.
It means a parliament with lltllo
changes, except that Mr. Honar Iw
replaces Mr, Lloyd George as pre

attenuated following of national lib
erals, reduced by the election to un

tion lnsteu1 of working In co-operation
with' the conservative.
Defeat Main Feature.
The downfall of Lloyd George Is
the oulslandlng feature of the elec
tions. The coallllnn liberals, at the
dissolullon, numbered 129; they are
represented In the new parliament
by only 44 members. There will bo
many regrets among the former pre
mier' admirer that lie failed to
take the advice of some of hi wll
Wishers and retire altogether from the
political stasre.
The Asiilthian liberal lately Im
proved their position, rising from St
In .tho old parliament to 62 In the
new, but they did not do so well as
they expeclW. On the other hand,
labor, although it failed to fulfill tn
high hopes the party entertained at
the dissolultlon, has done exceeding
ly well, Rising from 8 to 136 seats.
It Is generally believed Hist labor
would have done far better but for
the tactical mistake In lis advocacy of
a capital levy.
While the strenntf of coutcrvalii-m
In Hie cocniry Is matter of surprise,
perhaps the keynote of th election
is tin- 1e( line of lil.eralslni snd tint
