CHICAGO, Oct. 4. Corn advanced In
price today, notwithstanding that consid
erable weakness prevailed at the outset.
Gossip that a bill would be Introduced
in congress to restore the import duty on
corn wus to some extent responsible for
the advance. Prices closed firm 14 cent
higher: December, $1.24 6' 1.24 Vi and May,
$1.221.2214. Oats gained 14itii4c
In provisions the outcome ranged from
30 cents decline to a rise of 50 centa
The downward tendency shown by ths
corn market around the opening appeared
to be due chiefly to fear of Argentine
competition and to uncertainty over Pres
ident Wilson's Illness.
Big sales to the seaboard lifted the oats
market.
Provisions averaged higher.

CORN DISTRIBITION'
XagUah Market
FALLS OFF
Railway
I SMrtUed by
Strike.
Broomhall cables concerning the corn
Situation In England:
"Although arrivals of corn Into the
Tnlted Kingdom have been Increasing
slowly, distribution has fallen off sharply,
due to the Interruption to transport as a
result of the railway strike. Consumers
appear very apprehensive, fearing that the
temporary Inadequate transport facilities
will cause a tleup la the ports and prevent
the discharging of boats. Argentina still
retains a fair surplus of old corn and this,
together with the larger exportable sur
plus from the new crop, gives that coun
try an enormous amount of corn to dis
pose of.

CANTEEN HIGHLY PRAISED
Portland Workers Do Good Work,
Says Letter Prom Seattle.
"The courtesy extended to Dr. Far
rand Just as he was leaving the city
by the band and canteen girls -made a
profound and excellent impression on
him," said Earl Kilpatrick of Red
Cross headquarters at Seattle, in a
letter to Mrs. Ferdinand Reed, head !
of the demobilized Portland Red Cross
canteen. Mr. Kilpatrick's letter was (
inspired by the brief visit of himself
and Dr. Farrand to Portland, during '
which he attended the ceremonies at
tendant upon the closing of the can
teen. "You and the other members and
officers of the Portland chapter- have
the satisfaction of knowing that no
canteen in the United States has made
a better record or a better name with
the soldiers and sailors than the Port
land canteen," wrote Mr. Kilpatrick.
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT 10 YEARS AHEAD?
What you will have of this world's iroods 10 years from
now ? How much of what you put aside will have remained
intact as to principal and how regularly the interest on that
principal will have been paid ?
Do not waste this 10-year period ! Make the most of ft 'by
beginning to invest your money judiciously. Put it into
Government and Municipal Bonds and keep on putting it
into these unexcelled securities until you have built a real
fortune for yourself.
Above all else, Government and Municipal Bonds are safe
and you can be sure that the interest will be paid as it
becomes due, and the principal as well. For oyer twenty
five years we have sold Government and Municipal Bonds,
and during this entire period not a single one of these
securities has defaulted in the payment of either principal
or interest.
The bonds on our list aggregate over two and one-half
million dollars. We own and offer them to investors as
securities which embody every element of safety and desir
ability. Better figure to make the best of that 10 years ahead,
because, it's easy to make hay while the sun shines. Be a
coupon clipper. , . . . .

Dally TurnoTer at Full Sessions ATeraree
Over Million Share.
NEW YORK. Oct. 4. Continuance of
Industrial disturbances, the violent move
ment of call money and the illness at
President Wilson left their heavy impres
sion upon this week's erratic and active
stock market, . the daily turnover of the
five full sessions averaging well over
1.0O0.000 shares.
To these factors was added another
adverse movement In foreign exchange,
especially the London rate, for which the
graver outlook of the British railroad
strike was held malny responsible.
The turn into the year'a fourth quarter,
with Its Interest and dividend payments In
volving much shifting of loans, account
ed In a mensure for the vagaries of call
money, which fluctuated between 6 and
15 per cent, but the smaller supply of
time funds, resulting In a firmer tone,
probably anticipated crop moving require
ments. More than a small part of tha October,
cash dlMbursements found Its way Into in
