Opening quotations which ranged from '4 off to up with May at $1.83 to Jl.82'4 and July at $1.54 to $1.55, were followed by slight gains, then by a moderate general set back and later by many narrow fluctuations. Corn traders leaned to the bear 6ide. Most of the business was between pit speculators. After opening Y off to U up the market sagged all around to a little below yesterday's finish. Oats trailed after corn. Transactions were only of a scattering charsic ter.

Blazing Grease Damages Cafe in North End

Blazing grease in a skillet started a fire this afternoon which greatly damaged the grocery store and restaurant of L. C. Moore, North Third and D streets. The restaurant is located in the south section of the building. The fire spread rapidly from the restaurant into the grocery. The loss will amount to several hundred dollars but is covered by insurance. When the skillet blaze started the restaurant filled with smoke and a waiter opened a door. Instantly the high wind spread the fire to the walls. Much damage was done by water. Apartments on the second floor were not greatly damaged. The building is owned by John J. Steele.

ROADS AND MEN MARKING TIME . PENDING OUTCOME OF CONFERENCE WITH DEFENSE COUNCIL MEDIATORS

Railroad officials and trainmen in Richmond were today, figuratively speaking, "marking time" awaiting the results of the conference in New York which was, expected to decide whether there wijl or will not he a nation-wide railroad strike. Officials of the Richmond division have completed all arrangements for the maintenance of as good a service as possible over that line and for the protection of company property. It was announced at the Richmond division offices that a general local

freight embargo had been established pertaining to all classes of freight ex-j cept foodsfuffs. j Embargo Already Effective. i At the C. & O. offices it was an-!

nounced that a general local embargo on all classes of freight became effective yesterday afternoon. These embargoes have completely tied up Richmond's industries and should the strike become operative Monday it is probable that every factory in the city will have suspended operations before the middle of the week. Superintendent George J. Derbyshire of the C. & O. was in Richmond for a short time today, learing early in the afternoon for Peru. Mr. Derbyshire said that no definite arrangements had been made for the operation of service over his division in the event of a strike. "We will not anticipate such an emergency. We will meet it when it arises," he said. Company Appeals to Loyalty. The C. & O. superintendent expressed the opinion that at least seventyfive percent of the trainmen on his division would respond to strike call. "The company will make an appeal to the loyalty of its employes in the event of a strike and we will operate as many trains as possible with the men we havo at our disposal," he said. "It is not cur plan to employ strikebreakers unless it is absolutely necessary to do so." Richmond freight men have ascertained that if the strike comes the city will have a fairly adequate supply of fuel and foodstuffs. The Richmond

Casket company .is seriously handicapped by a fuel shortage and has been using wood. Two carloads of coal consigned to that company are being held in Cincinnati under an embargo order. It was reported today that the employes of the Richmond division shops in this city will refuse to serve as trainmen in the event of a strike but there is no disposition on the part of these men to walk out in a sympathetic strike.
