Germans Can Get No More
Rye From Russia.
Russia's Ukase Causes Great Consterna-
ton Among the Gram Dealers of Berlin
and Elsewhere and Depresses Prices.

BERLIN, August l2.-The ukase for
bidding the export from Russia of rye
and rye meal of every kind which was
published in the official journal of St.
Petersburg yesterday, created an enor-
nous sensation in this city yesterday
The ukase came as a complete surprise
| to the dealers in grain here.
There was some difference in the dis
patches in regard to the date on which
the prohibition WAS to 90 INTO effect.
Several early dispatches stated that
the ukase would go into effect imme-
diately, while later kilograms an
nounced that it would not be enforced
until August 9th. This afforded great
relief.
The influence of this action on the
part OF the Russian government was
lmmed' lately felt ON the bOUrSe here
The effect was te generally depress
prices, although values did not fall as
low us it was expected they would, as
many leading bankers received secret
adviceS as to the probable PRONUNCIATION
of the decree.
One effect of the ukase has been to
raise the price of rye almost to the
price of wheat. Chancellor Won Ca
priv is deaf to all appeals made to HIM
to remove the grain duties
The Russian measure Will not be felt
for several days. The rye imported by
Germany from Russia cannot be re-
placed by that of any other country.
A further and rapid increase in the
a at =,
This will greatly strengthen the agita-
ton conducted by the leaders of the
Freisinnige party and promises to aug
ment the opposition to the government.
Russian finances Will also suffer from
prohibition,
LONDON, August 12.-The Times Cor
respondent NJ Berlin says: There is no
chance of Chancellor Won Caprivi's
complying with the radical request to
reduce the grain duties. The Russian
ukas will seriously effect east Prussia,
which is almost entirely dependent up
on Russian supplies. Ninety per cent.
of the foreign rye imported into Ger
many this year came from Russia,
The English newspaper press is much
disturbed over the announcement that
the Russian government has decided to
prohibit the export OF rye. The gener-
al feeling is that although Great Britain
will not be effected to such an extent as /
Germany and Austria, she will inevita-
bly, suffer to great degree from the
prohibition.
ST. PETERSBURG, August l2.-Thc .
freight rates to the distressed districts .
have been cOmpulsoriIy reduced. The .
minister of the interior is authorized to .
adopt any steps he may dee q expedient .
to facilitate the transportation of fire
wood from the clown lands to be given .
free to the needy inhabitants. Fifteen
million of rOubleS will be devoted to
extensive relief works and d similar
is granted for the purchase Of
grain both for feed and sowing pur-
poses.
The daily Nelc8 this morning con-
menting on the action of Russia in pro-
hibiting the export of rye, says it is re-
assuring to learn that crops promise to
yield an exceptionally large harvest. /!
The farmers of America, the paper de-
clares, are masters of the situation, and
it is to be hoped they will use their
strength mercifully. Making corners
in the necessar les of life is never taud-
