CORN PRICES DROP WITH PEACE NEWS

CHICAGO, Sept. 22. Peace news and fine weather had a bearish effect today on the com market. Declines, however, were not of a radical character, some authorities leaning to the view that one of the ultimate consequences of peace would be to release vessel tonnage and to lead to an increase of exports. The more general opinion, though, was that high prices of food material went hand in hnd with war, and tha. any definite progress toward a cessation of hostilities would mean sharp breaks in values. Opening quotations, which ranged from 1-Sc to 7-Sc lower, with December at $1.17 3-8 to $1.17 5-8 and May at $1.14 1-8 to $1.14 3-4, were followed by a further moderate setback. Oats sympathized with the weakness of corn. The fact that oats for immediate delivery had lost their premium over future options had an additional depressing influence. Prospects of an increased movement of wheat from farms was hope'fully commented on. Receipts in the northwest continued to show some . gains. Provisions-showed firmness at about the highest prices of the season. Scarcity of hogs was the chief strengthening factor.

No people, therefore, has more reason than the German people to wish that instead of universal hatred and battle, that a conciliatory fraternal spirit should prevail between nations. "If the nations are guided by this spirit, it will be recognized to their advantage that the important thing is to lay more stress upon what units them in their relations. They will also succeed in settling individual points of conflict which are still undecidel in 6uch a way that conditions of existence will be created which will be satisfactory to every nation and.thereby a repetition of this great world catastrophe would appear impossible. "Only on this condition can a lasting peace be founded which would promote an intellectual reapproachment and a return to the economic prosperity of human society. "This serious and sincere conviction encourages our confidence that our enemies also may see a suitable basis in the ideas submitted by his holiness for approaching nearer to the preparation of future peace under conditions corresponding to a spirit of reasonableness and to the situation in Europe." The document is signed by the imperial chancellor Michaelis, and is addressed to Cardinal Gasparrl, papal

secretary of state

"Holy Father: With due veneration and deep emotion we take cognizance of the new representations Your Holi

entrusted to you by God, makes to

you. Holy Father, always bestow on all peoples without distinction, and from

mpnarchy for its unhampered future

development, it can then not be difficult to find a satisfactory solution of the other questions which still remain to be settled between the belligerents in a spirit of justice and of a reasonable consideration of the conditions for existence of .both parties. "If the nations of the earth were to enter with a desire for peace. Into negotiations with 'one another in the sense of Your Holiness's proposals, then peace could blossom forth from them.

Every part of your electrical system must be made leak proof by insulation. Inside your battery is the most important insolation of allthat which separates the positive from the negative plates, for this prevents the battery from "short circuiting," and thus putting the whole system out of commission. In the Still Better Willard, the insulation is made of durable; acid-resisting rubber. Thus Willard Threaded Rubber Insulation means a better insulated battery, a more durable, more, efficient battery.
