By JOS, F. PRIT0HARD
Chieaso Jan. 21. (I. N. B. ) There waa
little change in the grain markets, corn closing
unchanged to H 0 He higher. Oats unchanged
t H c lower to He higher, and provisions were
10 016c higher to unchanged to 2H07H
lowtr.
Chicago. Jan. 21. (I. N. S.) Unexpectedly
heavy receipts of hogs had little effect on the
provisions markets at the opening her today
and prices were not greatly changed from Sat
urday's close. Trade was light and only a few
sales were recorded. May pork was a shad
hieher and May lard was silently lower.
A strong seaboard demand tor oats was la
evidence after the market opened but because
of the railroad situation there was little dis-
osition on the part of traders to otter. Open-
ng prices in oats were lower than the previous
done.
ReceiDts of corn were larger than they nave
been at any time since the new crop came into
the market, estimated receipts here being 200
ears. Six districts throughout the Middle West
reported receipts of 1300 can. This resulted
in brisk trading with slightly lower prices ia
the local markets.

an advance In the price of 13 groups ot
commodities averaging 29 per cent dur

1914, was 105 per cent-' These groups of
commodities comprise all the essential
and the report ahows that the cost of
living at the end of 1)17 had more than
doubled since the war begun. In other
words the purchasing power of a dollar
la less than half what It was in 1(14
