GRAINS UNEVEN ON UNSETTLED NEWSREPORTS Cautious Trend of Bulls Is Feature of Irregular Price Range. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 17—Wheat was unevenly steady as the Board of Trade opened today with moderate buying and scattered selling. Foreign cables were mixed, Liverpool firmed slightly on better buying induced by the decline and on short covering by importers who feared that Russia would not be able to make deliveries. News frpm the southern hemisphere continued bearish. Com was unsettled and fractionally lower. Oats were practically unchanged. At the opening wheat was % cent lower to V* cent higher. Corn was unchanged to % cent lower and oats were unchanged to % cent lowed. Provisions were easy. Buyers Cautious Liverpool, opened about as expected and steadied slightly by midafternoon to stand % cent higher to cent lower. Buenos Aires was % cent down early. The outlook in wheat is for a drifting market, few traders caring to press the market and buyers acting cautiously. With no encouragement from world buyers, the situation is discouraging to investors. The question at present is whether the wheat feeding to livestock this winter will offset the available supplies. Ice Reported Bulls in corn concede that with the light outside support and the increasing movement from the country probably will work the market lower. There have been more arrivals in October than usual, due to the premium of corn over wheat, which is sufficient to induce the farmer to sell his corn. Weather over the belt is very cold, with heavy frost and ice reported from some sections. Scattered liquidation, hedging and local selling continues to meet all bulges in oats and tend to prevent a sustained advance in that grain. The cash demand remains good, nearly 100,000 bushels being sold to go east yesterday. Chicago Grain Table —Oct. 17WHEAT— (old) Prev. Hieh. Low. 11:00 close.

WOMEN WETS MOBILIZING FOR DRYLAW WAR New Repeal Group Seeking Recruits in Effort to End Speakeasies. Recruits in anew army to be allied with prohibition reform forces on Indiana's wet and dry battlefield were being enlisted today throughout the state. The call to war on the eighteenth amendment, held ‘‘wrong in principle and disastrous in consequence," was sounded at a meeting of fifty prominent Indianapolis women in the Propylaeum Thursday when steps were taken toward organization oi an Indiana chapter of the Women's Organization of National Prohibition Reform. Mrs. Mary Sayles Moore, a native of Indianapolis, but resident of New York until recently, addressed the gathering, denounced the prohibition amendment and cited to the organization's conviction: Saloon Is Opposed “In our judgment a repeal adopted by the people of the requisite number of states and the restoration to each state of its former power to regulate the manufacture, sale and transportation of intoxicating beverages within its own limits, should be accompanied fby adequate state regulatory enactments forbididng the return of the saloon and responsive to the sentiments of the people, and therefore capable of enforcement.” “Such enactments,” Mrs. Moore asserted, “would drive the crimebreeding speakeasies of the present day to the same extinction that alrady has met the saloon as an institution of our national life. “Under operation of the prohibition law,” she declared, “we have a less perfect union, less justice, less domestic tranquility, a poorer common defense and less general welfare. It has defeated the whole preamble of the Constitution.” Mrs. Holliday Named Mrs. Jacquelin S. Holliday, Indianapolis, was appointed h*ad of a committee to organize Indiana women in the cause of prohibition reform. Mrs. Anne Studebaker Carlisle. South Bend; Mrs. Richard Edwards, Peru, and Mrs. Samuel Orr, Evansville, will be asked to serve on the committee, to advance organization plans. Indianapolis women attending the meeting included Mrs. Meredith Nicholson Jr., Mrs. George Rockwood, Mrs. Clifford Arrick, Mrs. Samuel Suthpin, Mrs. Mark Pangborn, Mrs. Frank Dorsey, Mrs. Sylvester Johnson, Mrs. Felix Geddes, Mrs. Henry Talbott, Mrs. Hathaway Simmons, Mrs Alvin Tarkington and Miss Adele Pantzer.
