Tacoma News Notes.

Wheat-There mas peen a quoting
down in the wheat market, which
showed considerable activity last week.
This is doubtless partly due to the sub
sidence of initial influences identified
with the European war scare, though
the actual declaration of war among
the Balkan states against Turkey has
substantiated the speculative element
upon which the termination of de-
mands was predicated. 1t is not gen
orally regarded as probable. unless
other powers, and particularly Russia,
should become involved in the comph-
cations that the outbreak of hostili-
ties will exert dominating effect upon
the wheat market, though there is still
sympathetic element involved in
fluctuations at home and abroad.
Some demand has still been felt on
export account, with business still pass
ing on European account of a limited
character, and considerable sales in the
aggregate being worked for Japan,
which will be a factor of far greater
importance than ever before in the
wheat trade, owing to the growth IN
milling operations there The mills
are chock- block in most instances,
and are not buying, because their
wants are provided for and their stor-
age space pretty well taken up.
Deliveries have eased off quite ap'
preciably during the week. The total
of wheat coming to hand locally fol
the week was but SIG cars, or 200 cars
less than the previous week. This Is
partly accounted for, however, by the
fact that terminal facilities have beer
congested to a degree, while the rail
roads have not been able to furnish
all the cars required for shipment tt
tidewater.
The trend of prices has been lower
While bluestem is still quoting at SIC

Strong Light Caused Blindness.

Anderson, Ind.-Nineteen persons
are reported to have been stricken
blind as a result of gazing at light
caused by workmen welding with an
electrical process on a trolley wire
Sunday, according to local physicians
who were called out of bed to treat
the cases. Several who saw the light
were not stricken until a few hours
later.
He gave as his theory that the pecu-
liar rays of light given out by the
welding process caused the quick de-
velopment of bacteria, already lo1ged
in the eye, and blindness resulted.
