CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, November 4.-Fear of in
ternational entanglements in attempts
at settling the Turkish war gave the
wheat market today tendency to hold
firm. Opening figures were haL off
to 1s higher. December started at
80 q to so. a shade to 1saAc down. but
rallied to 9Oa9Oh.
Assertions that the government crop
estimates would be far more than in
dicated October l brought about weak
ness in corn. December opened "a to
" lower. at 5la to 5O7s. and sagged to 5Oh.
Oats hardened in sympathy with wheat.
December started 1-16 to h lower at 31A
to 31asa311a. and rose to 319s
Notwithstanding meager demand. pro-
visions advanced as a result of hog
strength. First sales were 21ka5 to 20
higher, with January 1880 to 1850 for
pork 1875 to 10671a for lard and 1000 to

Foreign Correspondence OF 1ne
MILAN, October %. 1912.
Criminals or madmen, SO far untraced,
have been busy during the past few
weeks in sending around to house pro-
prIetors in this city thousands OF poi
soned lozenges and capsules, in the form
of sample advertisements purporting to
be an infallible cure for all kinds of
stomach troubles. Many very serious
cases of poisoning have followed.
More than 1000 of these samples have
been collected by the police, and on ex-
animation by the municipal analyst they
have been found to contain cyanide of
potassium and metallic salts. The out
RACES are supposed to be an abominable
form of revenge on local owners Of prop
erty for the recent heavy rises in house
rent.

NEW RUSSIAN FLAG DISCUSSED.
Commission Recommends Change
in It's Report.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.


ST. PETERSBURG, October D. 1912
Some weeks ago a special commission
was appointed by the czar to consider
the advisability of new flag for Rus
sia. The commission has completed it's
labors with exemplary expedition and has
presented its report.
The reason for this somewhat unusual
proceeding is that Peter the Great, I'd
whom was originally due the Russian
flag, appears merely to have copied the
Dutch-a flat with three horizontal stripes
Of red, blue and white The commission
recommends that these colors should be
replaced by black. white and yellow, ar
ranged in the same way as before-as
horizontal tricolor.
The merchant marine is to keep the
same ensign as before-red. blue and
white: while the flag of the imperial navy
will be white with a blue st. Andrew s
cross as before. 1t is generally as
sumed that these recommendations will
meet with the cZar's approval.
