Corn prices under went a severe collapse today under re newal of liquidation and short selling in a market almost bare of support. The extreme weakness shown was ascribed largely to efforts at discounting develop ments In Germany and Austria simultane ous with the following arrival there of President Wilson's note. Closing quota tions were heavy at the bottom level of the day, Sc to 7c down, with Novem ber $1.17 to $1.18, and December $1.14'4 to $1.14'4. Oats fell lc to 214a net. The outcome In provisions ranged from 50c decline to $1 advance. Reports of a financial panic in Berlin and of a revolt In Bohemia gave the first big Impetus to selling of corn. After that the market was bombarded through out the session by a flood of bearish rumors, which, although unconfirmed brought buying much of the time to a nearly complete halt. In addition to the unrestrained gossip concerning the German answer and connected events, the downward course of prices was plainly more or less affected by a statement that the government was not buying corn fu tures, and that the food administration contracts were confined to cash grain. Oats merely reflected the action of corn. Lard and ribs went down grade with cereals. Scantiness of offerings, however, left firmness of pork unimpaired.

While state officials and represen tatives of relief organizations con tinued today to provide funds for rehabilitating the fire devastated re gion of northern Minnesota, easter ly winds of increasing velocity fanned fresh forest conflagrations into serious proportions. Many reports of dangerous fires were received here late today. Home guardsmen and other fire fighters were dispatched immediately to the various districts. Although searchers located more bodies, to add to the total of 800 known dead compiled early this afternoon, it was believed that these were victims of the fearful disaser of Saturday and Sunday. It was believed early tonight that few, if any, deaths were claimed by new fires today. More than 200 per sons are critically ill in hospitals at Duluth and other places, causing state officials to estimate the gen eral death toll at upwards of 1,000 men, women and children. Upward of 500 home guards are assisting settlers in beating back the flames. Unless help is received shortly officials here said that wider areas than are now in ruins will be laid waste. Cromwell, 18 miles north of here, is completely surrounded by flames, although none of the buildings is fired yet, according to reports re ceived here this afternoon. Auto mobiles loaded with home guards have been sent from here. Lawler, 21 miles to the west, with its dead still lying in the roads, on farms and in every ditch, has been compelled to give up searching ex peditions to fight increasing fires. Two hundred men, sent from here this morning, have asked for addi tional help. None is available here at the present time. Salina, 22 miles southwest of here, called for help, although 40 men were dispatched there today. McGrath, 30 miles southwest of here, and the next station below Salina, is fighting for existence.

Stockholm, Oct. 16. Insurrection . is spreading in the Ukraine and re cently extended throughout the en tire government of Podolia, accord-, ing to dispatches received by the Politiken. At several places, it is reported, the German troops ire siding with the rebels. Several thousand troops are de-, dared to have hoisted the red flag near Ekaterinoslav and to have killed their officers. They now are marching on Kharkov to join . the revolutionary soldiers who hold the town. ' A peasant force of 5,000 men, well armed with machine guin and can-, non, is moving on Poltava. Conditions Deplorable. The deplorable conditions caused by the red terror of the bolsheviki were reviewed today by the party of en tente refugees which accompanied R. H. B. Lockhart of the British dip lomatic service from Moscow. Mr. Lockhart and his party were re leased by the bolsheviki in exchange for M. Litvonoff, the bolshevik rep resentative in London. Wholesale slaughter of person! . charged with counter revolutionary plans continues unabated. The red terror had not subsided in the slightest when the party left Russia, Large numbers of persons were be ing executed daily on the slightest pretext and under the most revolting conditions. The mania for murder Is so strong among the bolshevik offi cials, the refugees say, that they even shoot their own partisans, ine. firing squads take delight in forc ing condemned men to jump from automobiles and in shooting them ' before the eyes of the other vie- . tims. Many executions take place on the Hodinka parade grounds. These are in charge of Lettish troops. The victims are shot with revolvers and the bodies fall into 'open trenches. ' Wet concrete immediately is thrown over them so that it is impossible for relatives to identify and claim the bodies. There is much sick ness in Moscow as the result of starvation and ill treatment Another party of British refugees who accompanied Consul Wood house from Petrograd also has ar rived here. They report that 25 Britishers were still in prison there. Freighter 'Sunk in Harbor in Collision With US. Warship New York, Oct. 16.
