for wheat, with few traders venturing
to sell. The price for May delivery
was from S1.111h to Slip and for de.
livery for the present month from
$1.075s to S10S. Those who wished to
buy shouted bids of cents bushel
above the prices prevailing at the
close of the market the previous day
and the quantity that any one would
sell even at such a tempting advance
was extremely limited.
The agricultural bureau at Wash
ington, through information furnished
by it's army of crop reporters scattered
throughout every wheat growing coun

STARTS FOR THE FAR EAST.
Departure of Russian Baltic Fleet OFF
cialIx Announced.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 13.-The depar
ture of the Baltic feet for the Far East
is officially announced. Admiral Brit
lief, commander of the naval forces
at Cronstadt, will accompany the fleet
as far as Libau, from which port this
modern armada of almost sixty pen
nants will sail for the Orient.
Golfers accompany the fleet and
other colliers have already sailed or
are awaiting orders at foreign ports
to meet the squadron on the way The
general opinion is that the vessels
will go by way of Suez, but some ru-
mors say the Cape route will be taken.
The decision of the admiralty TO
send out the fleet in the face OF the
existing situation IN the Far East is
evidence of the temper of the govern
ment to prosecute the war to finish.
At meeting of the emperor's mill
tary advisers War Minister Sakharoff
recommended the sending of an addi-
tional $4,000 men to the Far East.
