GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

DETROIT. Oct. 2s.--Close: War news
was rather alarming on "Wednesday
and foreign wheat markets were
higher. Liverpool prices advanced and
the feeling OF strength was reflected
on this side OF the Atlantic.
Dealers are surprised at the failure
of Liverpool to show excitement over
the war situation. There appears to
be fghting enough TO cause anxiety,
but as long as the wheat of Russia Is
molested the En- nglish market viii
probably remain calm At present the
food supply OF importing countries Is
not threatened and II will be time
enough to close ports and make ship
ping dangerous. There were some
rumors on Wednesday OF the threat
ened closing OF the Dardanelles. but
no actual trouble was reported. There
is a nervous feeling in the wheat trade
and bears are afraid to do anything In
the direction OF short selling. Armour
was a buyer on the early Chicago mar
ket
Liverpool reported a firmer and adj
vancing market on a rumor that the
Dardanelles will be closed. This ef-
fected December and March wheat,
while nearby deliveries were easy be-
cause OF small demand and large ar
