GKAU4 PRICES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank Building.) CHICAGO, 111., Dec 29 Lower Liverpool and Argentine cables and a desire to take profits over the approaching double holiday brought about liquidation In all grains, May and July wheat meeting with the greatest pressure. There was a fair amount of export busines worked in wheat and rye, but it failed to check the selling. Corn, however, held up well under the influence of foreign buying and the December delivery actually gained ground. A bearish statement in regard to world's wheat supplies, issued by a prominent local trader, caused a moderate amount of liquidation, but the document was considered as somewhat theoretical by many students of world's conditions. Investigation along this line by responsible persona has demonstrated that European countries are badly in need of food grains. The main obstacle to their acusion is lack of funds to finance purchases. Relief in this distance is expected to come through the medium of the United States congress early in the new year and such action will be bullish on our grains.

An armistice has been signed in the siege of the Irish consulate, carried on for two days between the forces of the Free State and. the Republic in the belief of reporters who called today at the building where the consulate is located and found the outer entrance locked. Late last night Lindsay Crawford, newly appointed consul general of the Irish Free State in New York City was holding his inner office grimly, with a look of determination and a growth of beard on his face which bespoke his vigil beginning Wednesday afternoon and lasting all Wednesday night and all day yesterday. In the outer office, Robert Briscoe, an officer of the Irish republican army, Mrs. Muriel MacSwiney, widow of the former lord mayor of Cork, and half a dozen other representatives of the republic were on watch. Officers Keep Watch Strolling in and cut of the office were police officers under command of Detective Lieut. James Egan of the bomb squad. Both sides had announced they were there to stay. The policemen had made known to them that any disturbance wou'd bring ewift action. Everything seemed prepared fo.' another long night of watchful wait in? when the newspaper men left for their offices to report. What happened in the interim was not recorded, but when the unofficial observers returned they found the door to the building locked and they could not see any lights on the tenth floor where the consulate was located, or anywhere else. Then it was recaJle 1 that Mr. Crawford had asked the republican representatives to test their claims to the office by recourse to the courts. . W, W.

W. representatives to open an organization hall here or to speak on the streets. Find Body of Rancher's Wife Up in Mountain M ARSHFI ELD, Ore., Dec. 29 A mystery of the remote Kitchen mountain region came to light today, when according to meager reports filtering in, the body of Mrs. L.

Postoffice Clerk Held in Connection With Child's Death (B7 Associated Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 29. A little white satin coffin, containing the body of 1 0-year-old Theresa McCarthy stood today on the spot where her Christmas tree had been. With her heart pierced by a bullet from a 22-calibre pistol, she was found dead in the Brooklyn home of her mother, Mrs. Pauline McCarthy late Tuesday. Benjamin Prenderville, a clerk in the Brooklyn postoffice, and a boarder at the McCarthy home, who admitted to police that he owned a pearl handled 22-calibre revolver, is held on a charge of homicide. He told the police he became frightened when he saw the girl's dead body and threw away the revolver and two others he owned of large calibre. Police say Prendeville has a police record. Police working on the theory that Theresa found Prenderville's loaded revolver under a pillow on his bed after the boaxder and Mrs. McCarthy had departed for work Tuesday and killed herself accidentally, are unable to reconcile the fact that the body was found on the floor in the dining room, while Prenderville insists he found the pistol with one chamber discharged still lying on his bed when he entered the house Tuesday afternoon.

Muriel McCormick, a daughter who opposed the match, said she didn't know when the ceremony would be held. "If you find out, I wish you would let me know," Muriel said. However, friends of Muriel said she had told them the wedding was set for trday.
