TO PROTECT SEALS,
RUSSIA AND JAPAN WILL AID
UNITED STATES IN THIS.
When Russia Owned the Seal Islands Tbere
Was Complete ProteCtion-Ameri-
ca Has Failed.

Washington, Oct. Eft is stated in
official circles that the United States
will have the cooperation and SUD-
port of both Russia and Japan in the
proposed issue of establishing ade-
Guate protection for the fur seals of
the Pacific ocean. The question is
about to be brought forward. Two
commissions, one American and the
other British have returned after
an investigation of the conditions in
Behring Sea. Aside from the infor-
nation they have secured Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Hamlin has
recently made report after an Off
cial inspection of the Seal Islands
standing that notifications of the
Paris awarded regulations were
not agreed to. "The fur seal, after
one or two seasons, would be CONNER
cially extinct"
"The Japanese government stands
ready to join the United States in
any plan of seal protection and is de-
sirous also of including sea offers,
which are being eXterminated from
the Japanese islands. The co-opera-
ton of Japan is said to be of much
Importance to the United States, as
the seal poachers and pirates have
been found mainly at Japanese ports.
A large trade with them has been
built up at Yokehona and Nagasaki
Notwithstanding this, Japan feels 4
to be to her interest to suppress the
poaching. Many of the Canadian
poachers go to japanese ports and
ship under the Japanese flag or take
out sealing permits from the British
consul there. The Japanese govern
ment wants the prohibition made far
reaching so that no doubt can exist
as to the permanent preservation of
the seals and Of the offers.
The Russian government, also it can
be said, will welcome an extension of
the protection to the seals. 1t is
pointed out that while Russia owned
Alaska and the Seal islands now at
tached to the United States, there
was complete protection to the seals
and that the destruction began under
the American management. The pol
icy of Russia continues to be to pro-
tect the seals on the North Pacific
and they will be willing to join in any
concerted action to that end.

CAUSE OF WHEAT RISE.
DUE TO sHORTNEss IN INDIA AND
AUSTRALIA.
Leading British Authority Explains the
Origin of the Great FlurrY-Amer-
lea Holds the Key.

New York. Oct. PA special to the
World from London says: \ repre-
sentative of the World had a CONVEX
satiOn with Mr. Rush, the editor of
BeerbOhn'S Corn Trade List, the stan
dard authority on the markets. Mr..
Rush, who had just left the corn eX-
change, where he had ascertained the
views of all the leading men in the
trade. said:
This rise. almost for the first time
on record, originated here, not in
America. This shows that it could
have had nothing to do with any man.
ipulation of the markets for political
or other purposes. Its cause is that
after several years of abundance the
people now recognize that this year
is one of ordinary supply.
lowing to the previous abundance
everybody held aloOf from buying and
then stocks ran down. Besides, the
Australian crop is pretty certain to be
a failure and there is the eXtraOrdina-
nv fact that India has become for the
present an importer. All this caused
the advance in prices.
The men of the most experience
in the London market believe that
wheat is going to rule at 50 shillings
a Quarter-eight bushels in a quarter
because it is now realized in addi-
ton to the other things that it is not
possible to produce wheat in Europe
cheaper.
Argentina does not count in the
calculation because her crop cannot
be reckoned until the end of NOvem-
bre. 1t is now promising. but week
of bad weather might spoil it altogeth-
er. II the Argentine crop fails there
will be excitement in the trade. If
it is a fairly good crop it will pre-
vent excitement. 1t cannot at best
supply us with more than 100000
quarters which is small in the worlds
movement of wheat. Besides the
difference in gold premium means the
loss of from to 10 shillings per quar-
ter against the Argentine expectation.
THE continental markets follow us
here and on the present occasion we
have followed America. For the first
time in years America holds the key
to the situation. Every bushel of
wheat America can spare will be sent
TO Europe.
I'VE look forward on the whole to
an active market in the next week or

BIG FIRM RESUMES BUSINESS.

st. Louis, Oct. 27.-After a suspen-
sion of business for a little over five
weeks the wholesale fruit firm Of
Pratt, Simmons & Brunswick will be-
gin business once more in few days.
The company will be ready to fill or
ders as heretofore. The firm has
compromised with its eastern credi-
tors. The firm failed with liabilities
at $4,000 and assets of $500, 900.
The trouble was due entirely to the
depression in business. The firm had
quite a number of large accounts in
the west and south which it could not
collect rapidly enough to satisfy the
demands of their eastern creditors.
