Tacoma News Notes.

Wheat-There mas been 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 compli-
cations that the outbreak of hostili-
ties will exert dominating effect upon
the wheat market, though there is still
a 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 limited
character, and considerable sales in the
aggregate being worked for Japan,
which will be factor of far greater
Importance than ever before in the
wheat trade, owing to the growth in
milling operations there. The mills
are chock "a 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 APP
preciably during the week. The total
of wheat coming to hand locally for
the week was but 316 cars, or 200 cars
less than the previous week. This is
partly accounted for, however, by the
fact that terminal facilities have been
congested to degree, while the rail
all the cars required for shipment to
tidewater.
The trend of prices has been lower.
While bluestem is still quoting at SIC,
club is off fractionally at 791ac, and
the undertone is less firm than last
week.
Flour-Whle new export business
is not being placed as briskly as
might be desired, exports are being well
maintained and business is in sight
which will keep the mills well EN-
ployed up to the turn of the year. Ship
ments from this port, which amounted
to 10s,9s0 barrels foreign, will exceed
that total for October, and all space
offered by outgoing steamers is being
utilized by shippers. Export still holds
around $500, with patents unchanged
and fairly active.
Feed-Reeeipts in carload lots TO,
the week were 10 cars oats, 35 barley
3 of corn and 121 of hay. The oat
market is easier and quoted off to $2f
M27 per ton. Barley is unchanged al
about the same figure. Corn is lower
with fntYrn deliveries for new error
quoting down $6@7 per ton. Hay is
firm and timothy has been advanced
to $16M17 ton, following similar
raise in alfalfa last week. Millstuffs
are unchanged.

NAvY's NEW WIRELESS STATION
Most Powerful Plant in the World at.
Arlington, Va.

Washington.-Craek and sput-
tering. the navy's new wireless station
at Arlington, Va, the most powerful
plant in the world, Monday night flung
from its lofty aerials the first mes
sages which signalized the completion
of an important step in the building
of a globe-girdling wireless systems
that will keep every ship of the unireos
States navy and every insular posses
sion within instant communication az
the capital.
The radius of the new plant Will lp
about 5000 miles when it is in work
ing order This range, probably the
acme of wireless operations, viii be
attained gradually, and it may be
weeks before the big plant is "tunea
up" to its highest efficiency.
