GRAIN.


 Chicago, Oct. 11.-Initial quotations in December wheat were 2t to x lower at 1O8 to 10S1s. May was down 1b6M to 9sGA at 10S5sq10S&. There was heavy
 liquidation in December, causing a rapid decline, the price dropping to 1O1s within the first half hour. May weakened in sympathy to 10T% The factors that contributed to the selling were the pressure of lower cables and liberal receipts in the northwest. The weather in the northwest was also re- ported favorable to a free movement of the crop. Lat CT in the day the demand improved considerably many traders apparently acquiring the impression that the mar ket, had been heavily oversold earlier in the season. Early in the day the corn market was weak. Later. how ever, firmer feeling developed on ac- tive covering by shorts. December opened unchanged to a quarter lower at 47& el4S, sold between 471564SJk. and closed at 4S1k01k
 The principal factor in the oats mar ket was the exceedingly bearish esti- mate on the total yield shown by the government crop report. After open ing at 54 to B lower at 291sGK. Decem- Der ranged between 2Saf Gzs and 29Ik and closed at 291k.

St. Fetersbufg, Oct 11.-NO official news was received from the front of what was happening today.

 Triangle.


 Triangle.
 St. Petersburg. Oct. F. 2:1O a. mi Severe fighting north of Yentaj, result ing in the temporary check of General Kuropatkin's advance guard. of which the Associated Press correspondent at Mukden telegraphed the first news, is not regarded at the war office as indi- eating 9 general enGa cement. The lat- est official dispatches indicating the disposition of various corp. say that the whole army is mot yet in thc line / of battle. Tie present engagement may, therefore, be regarded as the re- suit of a counter attack. which the Japanese might be expected tof make KurOpatl<iE's present superiority of numbers, it is held here, is bound. soon CT or later, to compel the Japanese to fall back upon strong positions within the triangle formed at Yentai. L6ao Yang and Sykwantung Everything points to that district being the pros pective scene of the decisive struggle of this yea~'s campaign. Strategic reasons of the most weighty chara ct4r render it imperative for the Russians as well as for the Japanese. to bestow their chief attention upon the country east of the railroad. The Russians are compelled to take this course be- cause theNrailroad runs northeastward and hence the lines of communication are more vulnerable from the east.
 The Japanese ar influenced by sim liar conditions, but the railroad no longer plays the foremost pat of their plans. Tn view of the approaching close of navigation at Yinkow and of the fact that the line at Iitzwo is long and cumbersome and liable to in- 1erruption, they must consider Feng Chang and Takushan as sources of supplies during the winter and with

this in view the eastern communiea- uons of Liao Yang are of the utmost Importance. The Yentai triangle is ad- mlrabIy situated to protect them. Field Marshal Oyama must therefore hold this triangle at all costs. The problem confronting Kuropatkin in the immadi- ate future is the capture Of the forti- lied heights composing this triangle where the Japanese will have the ad- vantage of. fighting behind breastworks and utilizing theif superiority. in noun tain guns.
 The general superiority of the Japan ese in mountain operations is conced- ed. The Russian commander undoubt- edly is aware of the difficulties of the task beforel him, has measured them well and is confident of his ability to overcome them. If Kuropatkin pos sessed an army of half million men he could leave sufficient force to attack the triangle, while he moved with the remainder around the east ern and western Hanks.
 This is considered in the best inform ed circles at the war office to be i'm practicable with the numbers now com posing kuropatkin's army and a froat- al advance is the only alternative. Op- erations, however, are likely to be car ried on on the right and left. The Jap anese probably will make similar movements until both armies become involved in q death struggle.

complete the road this season if the
road is built around by the longer
route. The mine-owners were greatly
disappointed because the road was
not completed last year, and now to
delay it another, year they will sim
ply rise up en- masse and put up a
fight. In fact they would probably
serve an injunction on US. When
they donated $40, 900, it was with
the understanding that it was to be
built by the shortest and most feas-
IDLE route, just as the bill stated.
"The way it looks now it will be
impossible to resume work before
the middle of June and as it is q
hard road to build it would be i'm
possible to complete it this season
Men who are familiar with the route
which the governor now proposes to
have US take, say that the territory
is subject to snow slides long into
the summer and that it would not
only be dangerous route to travel,
but one on which there would be
frequent Interruptions.

see the other side of the question,
and [ believe he will when he hears
from US and the people of Roose-
velt."
