GRAIN QUOTATIONS E. W. WAGNER'S REVIEW. Corn market weak on war against high pricea,- living cost row has reached congress, and consequently corn and oats appear to he tremendously affected and consumers of corn and oats appear, to be tremendously affected. Looks as though they are withholding their orders. Allies are buying grain in the cheapest markets: further reports of liberal amounts of Argentine corn to come to United States. ' Locals have little confidence in the . hog price, the belief is that much cheaper hogs will come at least after March 1. Buying demand In corn very poor all morning, outside of shorts buying from time to time. Very liberal Bales of corn in the pit by .cash houses, many reports that country will hold its corn but successful policy , of this kind is considered by many as impossible.

LEGISLATION FOR FREE MARKET IS URGED FOR U.S. Meat Packing Firms Have Power to Commit . Any Abuse, Declares Kendrick. (By Associated Press) - DENVER, Colo., January 22. The five big meat packing firms of the United States were declared by Senator JCendrick of Wyomlns, here today to have such a control over both the producing and the distributing markets that they . have the ; power "to commit all the abuses with which they are charged, and more," regardless of whether there is an actual combination in that their representatives meet regularly to agree on prices. The senator, addressing the American National Live Stock Association convention, described a bill which he introduced to regulate , the meat industry and said it ought to be possible to bring about a free market that would make it pcsisble for both producer and packer and consumer; to work profitably together. 'It is perfectly obvious," he told the convention, "that the packers control absolutely the meat industry of the country." . - "With all the interests involved, and under the circumstances which surround the business it would bo difficult for them to do otherwise than to work in unison, and it is scarcely necessary, it seems, to attempt to prove that the packers' agents meet daily, or weekly, or monthly to determine prices. It is only necessary to point out that their common interest would naturally tend to make them act in a common way. If as they claim, all abuses have been discontinued they ought to join hands with us now in securing legislation that will prevent the resumption of the unfair practices. All Classes Interested. "In no sense is the demand for legislation made in the sole interest of the producer; there is no class of the population that is not vitally interested in proper governmental control of the meat packing industry because it has grown to such proportions that it may now be termed the nation's food industry. It is of tremendous national importance, therefore, that congress should establish some sort of control. "The bill which I have introduced is intended to secure this end with the least possible disturbance to any interest. It aims merely to apply to have been applied to every other business engaged in interstate commerce. We do not ask that the government take over the packing houses, nor even that it should operate the stock yards. We ask only that the packers shall no longer be permitted to own and control both the producing and the distributing markets. To this end my bill makes provision that will compel the packers to dispose of their ownership of the stock yards, just as a few years ago congress compelled the railroads to surrender the ownership of coal mines. It further pro vides that refrigerator cars shall be subject to the interstate commerce act in the- same manner that all other cars and transportation facilities are

subject to it. Finally, the bill provides for a licensing system for meat packers for commissionmen and for stock yards owners so that the government may keep its fingers on. the pulse of the industry. "Without regard to who likes it or who doesn't, this much I can say, that if legislation is not secured now, the effort to establish certainty of compe tition in the markets of the country will never cease until the problem is properly solved, and if the moderate reforms now requested are not granted, drastic reforms will be imposed later." LOU TELLEGEN IN - RICHMOND TODAY Lou Tellegen, playing in "Blind Youth" at the Murray theater, arrived in Richmond this morning at 9:30 o'clock, and went immediately to the Country Club to golf, with one of the members of the company with whom he always plays. Mr. Tellegen was immensely pleased with the course and enjoyed himself so much that he was compelled to hurry for the afternoon performance before a large and appreciative audience. Mr. Tellegen is not only a wellknown actor in movies and legitimate but he is the husband of the well artist Geraldine Farrar, whose voice is well known by opera lovers and whose acting is thoroughly enjoyed by movie goers.

KIEV DESERTED BY FOREIGNERS; GERMANS ACTIVE

Ukrainian Peasants Hide Grain in Pits Away From Bolshevists. y By Associated Pre r WARSAW, Jan. zz. DKrainian peasants are hiding grain from the Bolshevists by burying it in large pits dug in the clay soil. Before the grain is placed in hiding the peasants dry the pits by building large fires In them. It is reported that large numbers of Germans remain in Kiev and other Ukrainian towns. They have, it is said, no intention to leave and it is reported they have been offered large sums to fight In Petlura's army or in the ranks of the Bolshevists. Common soldierB are eaid to be getting thirty roubles and oni:?rs from 100 to 200 roubles per day for service. Kiev is being- deserted by all the foreigners. '- German diplomatic agents have issued warnings for all who are not natives to leave the country. . There are a few American refugees from Kiev who have reached Moscow but Q ro linahla fr Imvo thafA tiAfstllfle ttlpl have no funds. Hiah Food Cost. The cost of food at Kiev is almost J as great as at Moscow. Bread being sold is bad, butter costs 75 rubles a pound and eggs three rubles apiece! Clothing is so scarce that it is a common sight to see people robbed of their shoes on the street. Many German officers have been stripped stark naked by bands of street prowlers. Fugitives are frequently unable to get trains for Odessa, but even if they leave in that direction they are liable to be robbed by bands which are holding up trains. If they leave toward Kovel they have to walk part of the way although it is possible to hire a cart if one has considerable money or to buy room on fiat cars used for transporting German soldiers. It is said these soldiers oftentimes become intoxicated, build fire on the open cars and toss hand grenades into them for pastime. It is stated that General Bartholemy and a number of officers of the French army are endeavoring to reach Kiev to look over the situation. Many doubt that the party will ever return owing to Bolshevist activities in Ukraine. Petlure, the peasant leader, is a Bolshevist but one who wishes to rule in-' dependent of Moscow, ith the end or the war, the return of many soldiers from the front and the evacuation of Ukraine by the Germans. Petlura revived his propaganda, with a result of many alleged outrages throughout the country. Palaces and private homes are said to have been destroyed, art works and valuable book collections have been carried away and it is said that many murders have been committed by his followers.
