WHEAT MARKET NERVOUS
PRICES DROP FROM ONE TO
THREE CENTS BUT RAPIDLY
RECOVER THE LOSS.

Chicago, Aug. ia nervous crowd
of interested spectators waited the
tap of the opening, bell on the board
of trade as eager to sell wheat as on
the previous day they had been to buy.
The price suffered decline at the mo.
ment of opening, ranging from l cent
to about cents bushel. Later prices
had sudden rebound and May wheat,
which was sold down to $1.08A at the
start, jumped up again to SLIP. The
reason for the change of sentiment
among the traders over night, as shown
in the early trading, was the failure OF
the weather bureaus forecast of possi.
BILE frost in the spring wheat country
to come. There was nothing within
fifteen degrees of frost temperatures.
AS the price of wheat since the nit.
die of june last has advanced 80 cen, ;
bllshel there were naturally numbers
of. trssdeys Wh9 had made. handsome
profits and what they had been buy
ing constantly since then was the
wheat that was for sale as soon as the
market opened. Hundreds of nervous
wheat owners had hardly got rid of
their grain when it was reported in
telegram from Winnipeg, sent by a
well known crop examiner who had
gone up to Manitoba, that the rust
that had ruined the crops of Mime
sofa and the Dakotas was at work in
the British Northwest and threatened
that part of the country with sim
liar calamity.
The last hour of trading showed the
sentiment of traders again divided,
with strong leaning toward the bear
side. Conflicting reports from North
Dakota caused doubt as to the real
seriousness of the situation and the
timid among the holders of long lines
preferred to be on the safe side.
How immense is the interest taken
in the grain market by people of all
sections may be judged from the fact
that one Chicago commission house
bought and sold for customers 18,000,-
900 bushels of the various kinds of
grain Wednesday and other large
houses sold from 100000 to 10000
900 bushels each.

CAUSED BY SPREADING RAILS
Nearly a Score of People Injured in
Rock Island Wreck.

Altamont, Mo-, Aug. 19.-The Chi
cago limited on the Chicago, Rock ISL
and and Pacific railway, was wrecked
by spreading rails two miles east of
here. Two persons were perhaps ia
tally hurt and fifteen others were Sc
riously injured.
The train, which was made up of
baggage, smoker, two chair cars, a
Pullman sleeper and an observation
car, was running at the rate of only
fifteen miles an hour when the acci-
dent occurred. The baggage car,
smoker and one chair car were turned
over and went down the embankment
and were more or less damaged. The
other cars remained upright.
Most of the injured were in the
chair car. All those hurt were taken
to the hospital at Altamont.

MAY SPEAK IN THE WEST.
Judge Parker's Presence Desired u
Several States.

Several States.
Esopus. N. Y, Aug. 19.-No definite
plans have been made for Judge Par
ker to visit the West during the CAM
paign, but it is almost certain that q
speaking tour Of some kind will be ar
ranged. 1t may be that Indiana will
be the only state in the West where
the candidate will speak, though his
presence is desired in Nebraska, Wis
consin, Colorado and Illinois as well.
This is question that will be taken
up at once by the national executive
committee and an early answer given.
The general impression here is that
Judge Parker will make several
speeches in the West when he goes to
the st. Louis exposition. The date OF
that trip has not been settled, but the
Judge and Mrs. Parker will probably
leave here late in September and re-
main away over the first week in Oc-
toher.

Validity of American and British Def.
milton Of Contraband.

NIXON OF VonIfdDdn0.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 19.-It fs an
derstood that Russia will recognize the
validity of the American and British
view differentiating between condi-
tional and absolute contraband of war
and that the Russian reply will be
couched in this sense. Specific claims
on the part of Great Britain for seiz-
ures of vessels and cargoes will prob
ably be reserved for later considera-
tiOn.
The Russian government appears to
be desirous of adjusting the question
of the flour on board the Arabia, con-
fiscated by the Vladivostok prize court,
but it is:pointed out that the decision
of the court makes It difficult to adjust
it automatically and it is suggested
that the case should be appealed to the
admiralty court here.

RUSSIANS REFUSE TO SURRENDER

COMBATANTS.

Toxic, Aug. 19.-Lieutenant General
Stoessel, in command at Port Arthur,
has refused to surrender and has de-
clined the offer made by the Japanese
for the removal of non-combatants
there. Reasons for this latter action
are not given, but it is probable that
the non-combatants are unwilling to
accept a favor at the hands of the
Japanese. They confess, however,
that necessity for their removal exists.
It is expected that the Japanese attack
will be resumed Immediately. 1t now
enters upon it's final stage.

that General Stoessel, the Russian
commander at Port Arthur, declined to
capitulate in response to the Japanese
summons creates no surprise. The

Packers Claim to Have About Normal
Force at Work.

Chicago, Aug. ia table sum-
marizing the present industrial condl-

during the day by the six leading
packinghouses. The statement shows:
Total men on strike, 26,624; total men
at work, 21,63a; total former union
men at work, ALL.
1t was reported at labor headquar-
tiers at the yards that President DON
nelly was about to start to New York
to assume control of the situation
there and that H. D. Call would be in
charge of the strike in Chicago. Don
nelly refused to affirm or deny the
rumOr.
The fact that on an order for 700
head of dressed beef for the National
Dressed Beef company of New York
only 500 head could be secured for
shipment is held by the strikers to in
dicate that the packefS have difficulty

CHINA EXPECTED TO YIELD.
Will Grant Japanese Demands Regard
ing Russian Warships.

Paris, Aug. 19.--The news that
Japan has practically sent an ultima
tum to China concerning the enforce
ment of her neutrality in the case of
the protected cruiser AskOld and the
torpedo boat destroyer Grozovoi causes
surprise but no alarm here, the inn
preston prevailing that China will be
only too willing to carry out her neu-
trality obligations, especially when
such. a course favors Japan. Well in
formed circles consider that China S
refusal to comply with the Japanese
demand is most improbable, unless
under strong pressure by foreign con-
suls, but it is not denied here that
China's refusal, followed by violent ac-
ton on Japan's part, would entail seri-
Gus complications.
Berlin, Aug. 19-The foreign Office,
taking note of the possible rupture
between China and Japan in connec-
tion with the repairs to Russian war
vessels at Shanghai, expresses the
view that Japan may send small war
ship into the harbor to ascertain
whether the disarmament OF the Rus
sian ships has occurred. But the Off
cials here do not believe that the mat
ter has reached critical stage or that
serious situation will result. The
German view, naturally, is that China
should take the same course toward
the Russian vessels at Shanghai as
Germany did towards those which
sought refuge at Tsingtau.
