GRAIN PRICES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CC Building. CHICAGO, Dec. 28. Wheat market effected., by dull holiday export demand, easy tone in stocks, lower cotton, and easy financial news. Receipts of v wheat have dropped but trade figures the holidays may cut a figure. Delivery of 113,000 corn today failed to effect December corn. Country is selling corn slowly. There are rumors of larger export wheat takings. Cash wheat follows the futures. Cash corn in good demand one-half up. Overnight a fair grain rally may be developed into Wednesday.

been very beneficial for the crop, it is said. The report shows that there has been a decrease of 9 per cent, or approximately 223,000 acres, in the acreage of winter wheat sown in the state this fall, compared to last year. The total acreage sown is estimated at 2,253,000 acres, while the acreage sown a year ago for harvest in 1920 was estimated at 2,467,000 acres, of which only acres were leu for harvest, the balance being winter killed. ! rendition nf the c.ron on December 1, is reported at 81 per cent normal, compared to 90 per cent a year ago, and a ten year average of 91 per cent. "The census figures just available for the 1919 crop," the report goes on to say, "indicate that 2,992,000 acres were harvested that year. This is somewhat larger than the state-federal estimate which was 2,800,000 acres. The acreage planted this year, is therefore, 23 per cent below the peak reached in 1919."

Two moonshine stills of 25 and 35 callon capacities and 100 gallons of beer were seized hv federal officers in a raid last night on an apartment building in the downtown section. The alleged operator was taken into custody. The stills were found in a room on the third floor, across a narrow half rented by a city detective. lie said he had not known that the stills were there. The officers acted on a "tip" of a resident on the first floor, that he "smelled liquor" in the building. Local Club Enjoys Dinner at Theater Rotarians appeared on the vaudeville stage, many of them for the first time, when they met at their weekly lunrhpnn Titpsdav on thf staere nf the i Murray Theatre.

Discussion of Chicago's transportation problem has again brought out proposals to install subway service, making use of the present freight bore under the city's downtown streets. Construction of subway lines in Chicago is beset with difficulties, not the least of which is the problem of the present system, operating 62 miles of tunnels underlying every street in the downtown district. The freight subway is a 7x12 foot horseshoe-shaped bore and lies 40 feet under the surface. Engineers say it is too high to permit construction of a passenger tunnel above it without endangering the foundations of buildings, and too far down to permit boring under it except at great cost and inconvenience. Tunnel construction under Chicago is different, engineers say, from engineering practice in any other large city which boasts subways. While the New York underground transit, system is essentially a ditch roofed over, Chicago's freight subway is an actual tunnel, bored underground. The subway passes through a strat um of blue clay. This clay has about t the consistency of putty, until brought

to the surface, when it rapidly hardens. Engineers solved the problem ' City of its removal by cutting the 62 miles

of tunnel thr6ugh the clay by hand with steel knives. REDUCE WORKERS' WAGES. fBy Associated Presst SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Dec. 28.
