TRADE GOSSIP.


Chicago. July 23.-Gossip Of the
wheat trade last night was that prices
for September and the deferred fut-
ures sold yesterday at the lowest Of
the season, September going 3-4c
was down to within 2 SAC of the
previous inside figures. There has
been a drop Of 9 cents in nine days
and prices are so near an export
basis that those who have been bear
ish are inclined to take profits on
their shorts and believe that with any
good export business there is sufficient
short interest that has followed the
liquidation by longs to make a sharp
upturn.
A point made by the cor traders
that nearly all grades Of cash corn
are bringing July prices or better and
the same price as when September
corn was five cents higher. There has
been immense liquidation by longs
and either cash corn must decline to
a September basis or the latter ad-
vance to the cash level. A corn ex-
pert in from eastern Iowa yesterday
said CROP prospects in that section
were the best since 1895 and 1896.

BEER DISPLACES VODKA.
Russians Discard Demoralizing
Drink for Malt Beverages.
Geign Correspondence of The Star.


ODESSA, August Il, 1912
That the Russian mujik should discard
his favorite vodka for beer is not a little
amazing, but ii is a salutary change Of
beverage. which even the temperance re-
formers regard with unalloyed satisfac-
tion as a first step in the right direction.
Latteriy, and in ever-increasing num-
bers. the village kabaks in southern Rus
sia are giving place to beer taverns. The
beer is supplied by German breweries in
the chief provincial centers, and is of a
light and nourishing quality
The Russian vodka, the manufacture
and sale of which is crown monopoly,
is admittedly the vilest and most demoral-
izing national drink of any country in
Europe. 1t has for a couple of genera
uonS-that is since the emancipation of
the serfs--been the veritable bane physi-
Russian peasant. AS, however, this
spirituous poison is source of govern
mental revenue, its replacement by beer
is viewed with undisguised disfavor by
the excise authorities. The net revenue
from vodka of late years has averaged
325,O00,O OU.
AS a matter of fact. local option was
just beginning to make gratifying prog
Tess when Count Witte, then minister of
finance. established the vodka monopoly.
Since that time the crown vodka stores
are found everywhere, even in the small
est country hamlets. The national con-
sumption of the fiery and degrading spirit
IS thus practically foStered by the gov
ernment, which looks to the enormous
revenue derived therefrom. and not to
the moral welfare of the mujik.
