' CHICAGO ORA1N AKD PROVISIONS,
IfUsM's Speerh Mm HwmHsli iBflocaes
H beat asd Cora.
Chicago, Jan. 21. Peace talk and a lack
of any foreign demand except from Holland
led to lower prices tor wheat today. The
market closed heavy, o to 20 net lower,
With May at 11.84 to ll.HU. anil J.ilv .
11.61)4. Corn finished unchanged to a shade
lower, eats off Ho to He, and provisions
nun ains 01 ajo IO BilC,
Bearish sentiment recording wheat began
to spread almost as soon as business opened.
Much notice waa taken of assertions that
President Wilson's speech apparently opened
'.J sjuvr nw 10 ptac negotiations, At the
same time a decided absence of foreign buy
ing was evident and one of the chief ship
ping authorities said his private cables in
dicated that demand 'from Europe would be
4ow for some time. The British commis
sion was represented aa at present trying
only to forward wheat already purchased.
w crop months, however, developed dur
ing the middle of tho session considerable
strength, owing to reports that the winter
crop wu being endangered by adverse
.weather conditions In Nebraska and by ties
stan fly In Illinois.
Aggressive selling; by houses with east
ern connections took place as the close of
tl he wheat market drew near, and the effect
of crop damage fears seemed on the wane.
The weakness which had prevailed early was
now Intensified and lower prices of the day
.were reached Just before the finish. One
of the contributory onuses was the Increased
seriousness of tho railway freight situation
east, as a result of an embargo to begin to
night on the Grand Trunk railroad.
, Corn was relatively firm, owing to reports
that 76 per cent of the Argentine crop had
received Irreparable damage, - Besides re
eHpts of corn hero were meager, and rural
offerings small. Oats reflected the down
turns In wheat. Bales of 100,000 bushels ol
oats tor Europe acted as only an offset In
jiart. .. . . n.
Highest quotations of the season In the
hog market lifted provisions. Arrivals of
hogs here showed aa unexpected falling off
,ln number.

"It is not as an entertainer pri
marily that I am to appear at the

in the east. He is named as one of
the finest interpreters of the spirit
of the west.
Following is the program of Mr.
Neihardt's readings:
