FRENCH AND RUSSIAN
AMBASSADORS DEPART

LONDON. Feb. 2o-M Cambon. the
French ambassador. left London for
Paris this afternoon
Count BcnckcnGorff. the Russian am

from whence he will proceed TO St

Careful inquiries this afternoon ap-
pear TO indicate that the simultaneous
departure Of both the French and Rus
sian ambassadors was only q c0inci-
dence NJ Cambon often goes to spend
Sunday in Paris. hence his departure
has no Significance. The international
situation is vaguely feverish. and this
coincidence has caused some comment.
Even high quarters are affected By thc
uneasy feeling. and it is feared thar

That IS the question that is ringing
through speculative Washington today
In the brokers Offices, on the street.
anG among the hundreds Of department
workers who now and then take dip
IN the speculative sea, the subject OF
wheat and its upward bound in value
furnishes the principal topic of conyer-
sation.
Local brokers report that thousands
of minor investors in the city have be-
ccme interested in the wheat market
Stree the outbreak of the war, and the
advance is naturally a cause for gen
cral rejoicing. The opinion prevails that
the price will touch S1.25 before the up
ward movement has ended, and in that
event there is a strong possibility that
the bucket shops will execute all orders
instead of accepting the risk them
selves
Speculation in wheat has been car
ried on at a lively rate in the past few
days. and Il is safe TO say there are
hundreds of Government clerks holding
a few thousand bushels of wheat.
Among the bigger interests it is be-
lleved the market viii contin1e-to ad-
