An ad- vance in Liverpool quotations and reports of continued drought in the Argentine were chiefly responsible for the initial upturn here. Trade waa very light and when commis- sion houses which were on the buy- ing side yesterday, jumped over and led in free selling, the market re- acted with fluctuations very rapid. Initial quotations, which were un- changed to %c higher, with Septem- ber $1.24% to $1.24%, and December $1.29 to $129%. were quickly fol- lowed by @ decline all around. Subsequently, wheat showed the effect of persistent selling by longs and the market eased rather sharply with prices near the low point at the finish. The close was % to 1%c off, with September $1.22% to $1.23 and December $1.27% to $1.28, Corn found support lacking at the start and early firmness was soon wiped away. Buying on resting or- ders checked the decline. Starting unchanged to %c higher, December $1.13% to $1.14; the market later fel’ to below yesterday's finish. Corn was under pressure in the late trading and losses were regis- tered all around. The close was weak at a net loss of 1% to 2 cents. with December $1.12% to $1.12. Oats showed independent strength with q good class of buying. Open- Ing at Kec to %c gain, December 52%c to 53%c, the market held near to the initial range. Provisions were dull and weak.

For no matter what spectacular phases of the flight may have been uppermost in the pubiic mind today, those interested in de- veloping aviation as a military wea- pon as well as a commercial indi a has attracted. the army and navy. It is true that congress has grant: ed appropriations more or lers gen: the European count war have spent more tion than anything else. In America, the fact that a bil- es since y on avia which was not ready when the arm- istice was signed, has tended to dis- courage congress in expending more money. The aircraft devotees, how: ever, have had a hard t of it since the war. They had hoped. the alr mail service would stir up inter. eet and make ppropriate money to encourage commercial av’ ation. To some extent results have been obtained. Many cerns went out of business with the war and have not been missed be- cause @ome of them never became efficient. But unless the government be no incentive for private indus- try to keep on experimenting or building. The industry was in dan- ger of absolute collapse. It is by no means at this time what army of- ficers would lke to see, but they have hopes that the world flight will put an emphasis on aviation which will keep it before the eyes of the American people and congress in particular. Then there {9 ancther aspect of the world flig F ill become a subject of discussion when con- gress reconvenes. The American aviation units have proved that with a relatively small sum of money they ean accomplish a great deal. The whole trip round the world was a minor expense as military items go.
