Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia
has been appointed colonel of the
Deaths Head Hussar Regiment. This
has no bearing upon the military sit
uation in Europe. Its point lies in the
tact that the princess can now wear:
a hussar jacket with dolman, trimmed
In black astrachan and silver; fur
bushy with silver decoration; gown

There does not seem to be any
doubt that the rainy season has be-
gun in the Philippines. Following the
destructive typhoon in Luzon IS
inches of rain fell in nine hours and
26 inches in "a hours. There was a
rise Of so feet in the Bued river. This
beats all storm records in that quar-
ter, and also suggests what might be
done In the way of conservation could
that surplus water be stored up and
kept against the need Of dry period.

One of the big New York banks
has issued a circular criticising the
designs of the latest $40, $40 and IS
gold pieces, saying the coins may be
artistic in appearance but are subject
to abrasion to an extent which is OBJ
iectionable. However, the average
person into whose possession they
come is not likely to object to the
design so long as he can get enough
of the coins.

CHICAGO GRAIN

Special service to The Herald by ]. c. Will
son, member Chicago Board of Trade, Hotel
Alexandria, Los Angeles.
CHICAGO, Jan. 18.-Trade has been treated
to a genuine surprise in wheat today follow
ing the extreme weakness of yesterday. On
the early publication of an important failure
in the northwest of firm supposed to be
rather heavily long on wheat in this market,
weak opening was looked for. There was
such aggressive support, however, at the open
ing that the temper quickly changed and
early sellers have been forced to cover at stiff
losses Weather of an exceptionally desirable
quality over the winter wheat belt.
This market is still in the throes of con-
gestion, and as long as the holders stand pat
sellers on breaks will be driven in at a loss.
The primary wheat markets over the west and
northwest are receiving a very light run of
wheat some of which can no doubt be laid
to the weather, as storms have been
prevalent for forty-sight hours; in some
places in the northwest for a week.
Corn was strong early, supposedly on the
covering by the firm which failed; since then
the tendency has been toward ease, even in
the face of the advancing wheat market. Cash
corn has been easy and closed 44c lower. Very
small demand for shipment and equally small
speculative demand, with some of the recent
buyers putting out additional special lines on
the bulge.
Oats were firm early, but having generally
followed the tendency of corn, the trade has
been very SInau one throughout. RecelptS
are light for tomorrow.
Provisions have been strong, quite active
early. The local speculative elements are ar
rayed on the bull side of the market and are
getting some encouragement finally.
Hog run is showing UP well, and there are
signs Of a let down in the near future.
The Inter Ocean says:
So far as known the bull leaders sold no
wheat of consequence yesterday, and it was
difficult to find any trace of their selling
although there were numerous rumors circu-
lated to that effect to depress values.
Those in position to know say that bull
leaders are perfectly willing to have bears
sell the wheat lower, as they believe by in
creasing the short interest the market will be
much easier to handle later in the season.
They will also get rid of lot Of trailers
who have been following them on the bull side
There was said to be lot of selling of May
by spreaders who had it bought against sales
of July, and the price of May having declined
so that there was loss in the holdings they
let go the May and bought in the July, which
weakened the May more than the July

wheat than any other house, and has the most

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, jan 13-The stock market to-
day was of much the same character as yes
terday. The periods of moderate strength and
weakness alternated and the tone was spotty
and irregular at all times
There was no effective demand in evidence
ton, but evidence of some support at a definite
point in a decline gave the bears warning OF
obstacles to be encountered in too bold an at
tack values While this support appeared
on the decline, any upward movement was
likely to bring selling orders into the market.
The current supposition in the extension of
the short interest in the last few days found
no signs of uneasiness on the part of the un-
covered bears to corroborate it, although part
Of the buying on decline was attributed to
covering operations by bears.
The sentiment among the professional ope-
Tators was not optimistic, and the events OF
the day, while not of great Importance, were
construe- unfavorably. The response of for
eign markets to the news of the settlement
between Austria Hungary and Turkey was a
disappointment. decline in private discounts
in Paris and Berlin, a rise in London and
Paris, and a fall in the London price of gold
were reflections of the relaxed tension of the
situation. London discounts, however, contin-
ued to advance and foreign stock markets did
not retain the benefit first shown on the news.
The question was left open whether the fnan-
cial prospect is sufficiently cleared to obviate
the call for an advance in the Bank Of Eng
land official rate of discount tomorrow.
The date for the Russian loan issue was
fixed for January %.
Stock exchange members the floor en-
gagged in some discussion of the trade pros
poets in this country, and were inclined to
give ear to views expressing disappointment
over the rate of business improvement. NInti-
nations were heard of a probable disappoint-
ing showing for the forthcoming quarterly re-
port of the United States Steel corporation and
the January orders received were said to be
disappointing.
In this connection the rate at which money
is coming back from the country into bank
reserves is a disquieting evidence of lack Of
demand for it in the circulation. Besides the
shipments of currency by express from the in
terror, the operations of the treasury depart
ment reflect the heavy gravitation Of bank
notes toward their source of issue.
The closing market while brisk rally was
in progress, again left the days changes small
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value
