Skepticism Rogardlng Predictions of In-
creased Movement Vpholds Com,
Chicago, Jan. 24. Skepticism regarding
predictions of an Increased movement of
the crop tended stubbornly today to up
hold the corn market Prices closed un

Provisions closed 5c off to 22o up.
Reports were current that bettor weather
In the west was gradually bringing about
more favorable traffic conditions on the
railroads, and that the car supply had
been somewhat Improved In Illinois. Be
sides advices were at hand telling of the
largest rural shipments of corn that had
been made since the recent storm. Nev
ertheless, the scantiness of receipts here
and tbs many times of late that hope of
liberal arrivals had turned out to be mis
leading discouraged sellers. The result was
to keep the market within narrow limits,
and to minimize the volume of trade, de
spite a generally promising outlook.
All deliveries of oats advanced to the
highest prices yet this season. Persistent
demand from the seaboard was responsible,
but In the last hour. It was said exporters
had withdrawn from the market.
Covering by local shorts led to upturns In
provisions. Sharp breaks In bog prices
received but little attention.

Ru8 Situation
Cause of Anxiety
in Berlin Circles
Amsterdam, Jan. 24. German
parliamentary circles regard the
Russian situation as being very
critical, according to the Lokal An
zeiger of Berlin, a copy of which
has been received here.
The paper says that the latest
news from Petrograd shows that
Bolsheviki supremacy is seriously
threatened and the question arises
as to whether it would be wise to
negotiate further with men who
anarchy at, any moment may sweep
away.
The Lokal Anzieger adds that in
political circles account is being
taken of the possible influence
events in Petrograd may have on
the negotiations at Brest-Litovslc

Peace Rumors, Government
Financing, Freight Embargo
and Fuel Shortage Affect
Dealings.
New Tork, Jan. 24. Political and econom
ic factors continued to weigh upon ths stock
market today, although there was a mode
rats rally, dus In part to short covering, at
tha end. Pools were again aotlva In minor
specialties, but tha lack of public Interest In
represenattva shares was an obvious draw
back. Peace rumors, government financing, the
freight embargo, fuel shortage, were among
the conflicting elements that affected the
moderate dealings In varying degree. Trade
authorities agreed that as yet Industrial con
ditions showed little Improvement from ths
government's closure decree.
Qreater esse was displayed In ths market foi
call loans which opened at $H per cent, tha
lowest Initial rata thus far this year, but
tlms funds, while quotably unchanged, wera
scarce ..to the point of complete withdrawal.
That Investment money still seeks an outlet
was seen In the larger oversubscription to

Market leaders moved In a very narrow
groove, rails evincing a reactionary trend on
presentation to congress of a railroad bill
somewhat different from that originally pro
jected. Reasoned Industrials, shippings and active
specialties were responsive to ths mors gen
eral support of ths last hour, closing with a
firm tone. $ Bales amount. d to 810,00s

(By Associated Press.) . - n
Washington, Jan. 24 While declin
ing to comment directly upon the
statement attributed to President Wil
son, that there will be twice as many
American soldiers abroad next June
as had ben originally planned, Sec
retary Baker said today;
"The program of the department
has been a constantly developing one,
and many difficulties and limitations
have been removed or overcome.. I
cannot discuss numbers of men , m
France or anticipated to be in France
at any particular time, but we have
made substantial progress." ,
When General Pershing sent his
first battalions into the trenches with
veteran French troops, formal an
nouncement of the fact was made
here, coupled with the explanation
that these were rounding out their
training course. A similar announce
ment either directly from General
Pershing or from the department is
expected when American troops
finally take over whatever sector of
the battle lines they, are destined to
fight in.
I Recent press dispatches from Gen
eral Pershing's headauarters have
shown that a considerable part of his
force, at any rate, was now regarded
as fully trained. There have been no
hints dropped as to when the Ameri
can 'front would be established, but
the impression is gaining strength
here that the day is not far distant.
