eign office last night issued the follow
ing communication:
The president of the United States
has instructed his ambassador to the
imperial court to request a private au-
dience in order to convey directly to
the emperor assurances of the unfail-
ing friendship the United States en-
tertains for Russial and to express
President Roosevelt's personal desire
to contribute as much as possible in
the interest of the whole world toward
the cessation of hostilities in the far
tast. The ambassador vas instructed
to add that the president was making
simultaneous overtures to the japanese
government.
The emperor was pleased to receive
the American ambassador and gave
benevolent attention to President
Roosevelt's initiative. which had more
over met an entirely sympathetic re-
ception on the part of friendly powers.
Russia, being convinced that Japan
was equally disposed to accept Presi-
dent Koosevelt's proposal, which was
transmitted through the intermediary
of the representatives of the republic
at st. Petersburg and Tokyo to the inn
perial as we'll as the Japanese govern
ment; received favorably the official
communication from the ambassador.
and notification to this effect was pub
lished in Washington.
I'm reply to this communication the
foreign minister. acting under the en-
peror's orders. informed the American
ambassador that the emperor, deeply
sensible of the sentiments expressed
by the president, was pleased to see
therein a fresh mark of the traditional
friendship uniting Russia and America
and precious proof that President
Roosevelt was in complete accord with
the views the emperor held on a gen
eral settlement so essential to the good
progress of the whole of mankind. AS
for an eventual meeting of Russian and
Japanese plenipotentiaries charged
with ascertaining how far it would be
possible for the two powers to elabo-
rate conditions of peace. the imperial
government would have no objection in
principle to such an attempt. If the
Japanese government expressed a de-
sire therefor"

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Weakness in the
wheat market developed Immediately after the
opening. Initial quotations. however. showed
some loss, May being &c lower to Nc higher
at 81 1eA to 81 1919. July was off &c to
$50 at 81 Ok to 81 o1h. The May delivery
assumed supremacy In the pit, trading in that
option early in the day being extremely
heavy. At the start sellers filed the pit but
offerings met with little demand. Within a
few minutes May had sold OF to 81 1875. On
the decline shorts bought literally and the
price was forced up again to 81 1875. Mean
time July eased off to 81 oil but later rail-
lied trifle. in sympathy with the upturn in
May. The market Influenced considerably
by the weakness Of foreign grain markets.
Lower prices abroad were said to be due to
the enormous increase in shipments from
Australia. During the latter part of the ses-
sion trading narrowed down to small trans
actions May closed rather weak, ss@1bc
lower at 81 19%@1 1sA. July closed Nc low
er at 81 OH.
Warmer weather and weakness in wheat
created an easy undertone in the corn market
May closed Mc up at 461ac

Provision trading was exceedingly light. At
the close May pork was up 2iac, lard was un-
changed and ribs were up 2%c.
