mission. which is composed of Secretary

American brief contains lot of new
proof, secured after a long search into
musty records Of the War Department
and old Russian and British documents,
which it is believed viii convince the
British umpires that this eountry's claims
are right. "a any event. the worst the
United States can get out of the arbi-

The wheat market has felt the stimu-

undoubtedly done damage. How seri-

strengthened by the reports that have
come. As everyone knows there is very
little wheat in our country. Stocks IN the
northwest are extremely light. If the
actual wheat available for use and the
prospective requirements for the next
three months were the factors of main
influence prices would rule very much
higher. But this shortage in the availa-
bic stocks has been offset as specula-
