Announcement That Ball Priority Order Are, Suspended Boost Corn. , Chicago, Jan. .-Corn advanced In price today owing more or less to uncertainty which resulted from announcement that all - priority orders on the railroads had been suspended. The market olossd firm, o to le net higher, with January $1.24 and May $1.2601.26. Oats gained o to 1 cent. In provisions the outcome varied from unchanged figures to .a rlss of 66 cent. Although It was generally expected that potting all classes ot freight on an equality would help to remove trafflo congestion as a whole, traders Inclined to a belief that aa at least a temporary effect the supply ot oan available for hauling grain wouto be reduced and that receipts ot corn here would be diminished. This prospect ap peared to have considerable to do with talk which became current In favor of a higher maximum price limit. Under such circum stance the late dealings were at virtually the topmost prices of the day. Oata largely reflected the aame influ ences that ruled the corn market, besides, country offerings o arrive were small. Severing by 'shorts lifted provisions after some weakness caused by declines in the hog market and by the bearish ahowlng of the monthly statement of warehouse stocks. The bulge, however, was not fully maintained. Cash Prices Corn: Nos. 2 and I yellow nominal; No. 4 yellow, $1.7001.77. Oata: No. t white, 8O081c; standard, 810 81c Rye: No. 2. 31.84.

STRONG DEMAND FOR FARML0AN BONDS President Hogan of Federal Land Bank of Omaha Re ports Active Market in District. The Federal Land bank of Omaha reports a strong demand for federal farm loan bondt the last few days. . "Something like $30,000,000 of fed eral farm loan bonds have already been sold by the several land banks throughout the United States,' said President Hogan. , "We think that probably the Fed- era! Land bank of Omaha has mar keted more bonds directly to its cus tomer! than any other of the 12 banks. Our real estate security it recognized as perfectly safe and in vestors who have heretofore been de nied the opportunity to invest in real estate mortgage loans because of the inconvenience of directly making; these loans are buying bondt bated upon these mortgages, which have been taken tinder the direct control and su pervision of the Treasury department of the United Statet. - "The demand for bonds hat be come especially active among the big business men of the four states of this district.' We booked an order Monday for $35,000 of bonds from one individual customer. They have proven attractive because they are ex empt from all clatsei of taxes, includ ing federal income and excess profits tax. Many business men figure that these tax exemption feature! and 4Vi per cent interest rate, which is good, considering the high-class nature of the security, combine to make this in vestment a splendid place to put their 1917 business profits." Mr. Hogan stated that Louis W. Hill, president of the Great Northern railway, has recently invested $500,000 in these bonds.
