About the only trading on the floor was | In wheat ‘and the sales of that cereal extromely |ight, only a few cars of 3 hard wheat being sold up to noon. best sales of No. 3 hard today were about 4c under yesterday'’s average price, while the bulk of today's offering went at a 6@6c decline, » Considering the big drop In wheat the corn market held ‘up very well, and while the gales of this cercal were also very light, a car of No. & yellow corn sold for 86u, a cent under yesterday's price, There was practically no trading in oats, the only sale up to noon being a car of samplo white, which brought 6lc and a fow sales of No. 3 white at 61% @51%c. No sales of rye were reported and this market was quoted nominaly 2@3c lower, while barley was quoted several cents lower, the only sales of this cereal being a car of No. 4 at 90c, The gencral depres- slon In today's cash market was indirectly the result of peace moves, which caused a heavy declyine in the future market and as cash prices are based on futures, the | drop In cash grain prices naturally caused a duliness in the local mgrket. Clearances were, wheat”and flour equal to 748,000 bushels; corn, 20,000 bushels; oats, 364,0000 bushels.

As soon us dispatchos appeared in print, however, tell- ing of the German offer to negotiate for peage, owners of whoat began to throw holdings overboard seemingly without limit and prices plunged downward in earnest.

Underneath was the line, ‘‘Can’t you hear me?”’ Many who saw this picture smiled , and recalled how often they had seen people talking out of the window, at their feet or through a cigar, but not INTO the telephone, To be heard distinctly over the telephone one must talk directly into the mouthpiece, with the lips about an inch away. If you talk with your lips against the mouthpiece, your voice is muffled and suppressed. To the listener it sounds as though you were troubled with a severe cold and could not articulate properly. If you do not speak directly into the telephone, the sound waves will not strike squarely the metallig disc in the transmit. ter and the other party will hear you faintly and indistinctly.
