Corn jumpld up In value today to th highest point reached since September 24 for the December de livery. Unwelcome wet weather, as well as upturns in the stock market and In nog quotations, were chiefly responsible. The close was unsettled, 4i c to ISc net higher with December $1.27 Hi 1.27 and May $1.23 tH. 23. Oats finished un changed to hio up and provisions un changed to an advance of 00c. Buying of corn received a big impetus from the wet weather, inasmuch as ths excessive moisture was expected to delay tne movement or grain from the farms. The position of December shorts was es pecially aggravated, for they have been depending on liberal arrivals during the remainder of this year. From the outset, too. the railroad permit system and the acute shortage of cars were distinct fac tors, emphasising the Influence of securi ties and hogs. Toward the end of the day the market suffered a little reaction owing to reports that on the bulge there had been some Increase of rural offerings. Oats were dull but firmer. Provisions reflected ths upturn In grain and hogs. ' CORN. Open. High. Low. Close. Dec $1.'J4 $1. visit $1.2V4 (1.27H May..... 1.23 l.iM'i 1.231, 1.23 OAT8.

UNION LABOR LEADER'S WILL John Mitchell, former President of the United Mine Workers of America, left an estate of a quarter of a million dollars and "a will written in his own hand shortly before his death but believed to be invalid" because it was improperly executed. This emphasizes the importance of preparing your will long; in advance of when you expect it will be needed and when you have time to be careful as to its execution and provisions.

Fifth and Stark ix Hundred Thousand Dollars in Capital and Surplus A Preferred 7 Stock With Characteristics of a Note We own and recommend for your investment the 7 Preferred Cumulative Stock of William Cluff Company, wholesale grocers of San Francisco. This stock represents preferred ownership in a company which owns net liquid assets of $310 for each share of Preferred Stock. - Net earnings for the past ten years have averaged over $95,000, or more than three times dividend requirements. In no year during this period have they been less than twice these requirements. $400,000 William Cluff Company ' (Incorporated Under the Laws of Delaware) Preferred 7 Cumulative Stock PRICE 100 and Accrued Dividend In many respects this issue has more characteristics of a note than a stock. For instance, a sinking fund which begins November 1, 1921, will retire the whole issue by 1936. The smallest, annual sinking fund payment will be $20,000. As each payment becomes due it becomes an enforceable claim against the company. ' No prior obligations of more than twelve months' maturity can be incurred by the company without the written consent of the holders of three-fourths of the Preferred Stock. The issue is limited to $400,000.. t " The company must at all times maintain net liquid assets of not less than $150 per share. The business of the William Cluff Company is stable. The extent of its operations is wide. Founded in 1890, its growth has been rapid and 6teady. Today it is one of the three largest wholesale grocery concerns in the West. Its business covers the whole Pacific coast srea, Alaska, the Hawaiian islands and' the Philippines.
