Corn averaged higher today owing more or less to efforts to accumulste reserve stocks here before farmers become busy with field work. The close, however, was unsettled. Much $1.27 snd May $1.26. with the final range c off to a like advance compared with Saturday's latest figures. Oats gained c to 0o net. The outcome in provisions varied from 17c decline to a rise of 7 cents. Despite big Increase of arrivals, the corn markut pointed upward throughout nearly the entire session. It was realized that but a short time remains until spring work by producers might sharply restrict tbs crop movement. Predictions of stormy weather within the next 36 hours empha sized bullish sentiment, and so too did the fact that as high as $2 a bushel had been paid for extra good white corn suitable for milling. Near the end of the day. though, prices tended somewhat to relax owing to assertions that 100. 000 cars had been concentrated in the middle wsst and that a dally movement of 4.000,000 to , 000,000 bushels wss on. Oats ascended to new top records for the season. Urgent bidding from the west was chiefly responsible. A bulge In hog prices gave strength to provisions. Subsequently, realising sale brought about a setback. Butter Steady; creamery, 44049c. Eggs Lower; receipt", 1,262 ca.es; firsts, 62c; ordinary firsts, 4960c; at mark, cases Included, 60061c.

"and white it i. .open to Parliament lo change the j ministers nj circumstances have been disclosed in the present instance which warrant such an upheaval. The Times remarks that the pre- , mier's recent speech in the House of Commons failed to carry complete conviction and says the result has I been a storm of exaggeration and pv jliiical intrigue over what seeing fa have been a most natural and common ; sense arrangement.

News of General Robertson's re' , moval, the Morning l'ost says, will I be received with consternation by the1 public and the army.

Lowther, the speaker of the House of Commons, and General Jan C. Smut are mentioned by the Post as the type of men fitted to head the government. Stefansson Failed to, Navigate The Northe?st Passage Seattle. Feb. 18. Captain Alexander Allan, an Arctic trader, has arrived ere from the north with word that Vilhjalmur Stefansson, an explorer now in the Arctic, failed to realize his hope of navigating the northeast passage to the Atlantic because two members of his party disobeyed or ders and left their chief marooned on Melville island in 1916 without a ship. The two, Captain Gonzales and Mate Seymour of the Schooner Mary Sachs, one of Stefansson's fleet, were instructed in 1V14 to take the Sachs in 1916 to Stefansson's base on Mel ville island. Instead, Captain Allan asserted, they cut a hole in the Sachs and, beached it at Banks Land, about SOO miles west of Melville island, m , When Stefansson found he was marooned he abandoned his plans to go east and made the trip to Banks Land on foot over the ice. From Melville island to the Atlantic navi gation is comparatively easy, Captain Allan said., Stefansson, Captain Allan declared and the members of his Canadian Arctic expedition are wintering at Barter island, off the Alaskan Arctic coast. The explorer expects to make a 100-mile trip north over the ice this coming summer and return to civilization next fall by way of Nome, Alaska.
