TRADING IN WHEAT REFLECTS EXPECTED TONE OF ADDRESS

CHICAGO, Dec. 19. Although uncer

tainty and expectancy chiefly characterized the wheat market today before any word came of the nature of Llloyd George's speech, traders inclined somewhat to the belief that his answer to Germany would not indicate a quick peace. Accordingly buyer were in a majority but transactions did not attain much Tolume in the earlier dealings. The crowd in the pit was on tiptoe of interest as to the stand taker by the British premier, and was giving virtually no attention to other factors. Opening prices, which ranged from the same as yesterday's finish to 2 higher, with May at $1.64 to $1.65, and July at $1.38 to $1.33, were followed by substantial gains all around. Corn hardened with wheat, some of the larger speculators were active buyers. After opening unchanged to off, the market scored a moderate general upturn. Business in oast was mostly local. The market was firmer as a result of advances in other cereals. Large receipts of hogs tended to weaken provisions. Besides the prevailing sentiment was not very hopeful that the war would not indefinitely continue. Jus before the close the market

tumbled. Today's, finish was wild at $1.64 to $1.65 for May and the

market as a whole ranging from net

decline to cents advance as com pared with yesterday's close.

on tne tneory or reproducing lone, dui upon giving that reproduced tone the evenness, depth and naturalness of the ;priginal production. The failure of the phonograph as a musical instrument has centered in the unobservance of true principles of tone-building. These principles are always the same, the same in the violin, piano, or phonograph. The Starr Phonograph is made by experts who have been building pianos acknowledged to be the best in the world for half a century. Who does not know the celebrated Starr Piano? The musical knowledge, the musical experience, and the resources of the Starr Piano Company are producing the Starr Phonograph. The Difference is in the Tone Its only tone is the tone of the artist with all that inherent richness, purity and fidelity. There is no harshness, weakness or metallic tint to mar the re-creation instead, each shade of beauty, each variation of expression is brought out with integrity. Have you heard the Starr ? If not, we extend to you a cordial invitation to do so at your first opportunity. Your time will be well spent and a most agreeable surprise awaits you. Our styles, prices and terms will suit every one.
