BaooxHALL's GRAIN CABLES

LIVERPOOL, Dec 16-wheat market
opened unchanged with unfavorable harvesting
returns from Argentina. the sustaining innu-
ence, and an expected liberal decrease in the
visible here. Following the opening there was
moderate realizing on the favorable American
government crop and cheaper Manitoba offers.
European crop advices are generally favorabls
and crop conditions In Australia continue ex-
cellent. Prices declined w. but the decline
was checked by disturbing reports regarding
the Russian out-turn- At 80 p. m the mar
ket was dull. with prices u lower than yes
terday.
Corn opened u lower and later further de.
clined Y on the smaller inquiry for forward
shipment and the increasing American receipts.
At 1:S0 p. m. the prices were Il lower than
yesterday.
The European visible supply Of wheat this
week decreased S.062 900 bushels. and
amounts to II. 900 bushels. Last year
there was a decrease of 4 200 600 bushels
when the total 81. 800. 600.
Trade interests here and continental firm
ness believe that the recent official estimates
for the wheat yield are in great error and the
leading continental newspapers claim that the
official estimates for all crops show discrep
ancy of 60O, 600, 00o bushels. Details still
lacking.
Frsnce-Heavy rain is falling and crop ad-
vices are less favorable. Paris opened easier
on freer native offers and increasing stocks.

CHANGING ROCK ISLAND SERVICE

BY increasing car loading and re-
ducing Improbable passenger train
mileage, President III. U. Nudge OF the
Rock Island hopes to make consider
able Improvement In the operations
OF that road. President Nudge says:
We have made considerable re-
duction in mileage of passenger trains
that do not pay, and X business con-
tinues as slack as 1t has been for the
last few months we shall be able to
make further reductions. In taking
OF some trains we have run up
against some Of the state railroad
commissions. especially in the south
west. But elsewhere we have been
able to make reductions along those
lines. Shippers are more and more
demanding quick delivery of freight.
and that operates against good car
loading. II we could dispense wi0l
the demand for rapid movement there
would be no trouble In increasing
loads. Az II Ii. we have found In some
movements fractional carloads instead
OF full carloads. This feature we are
going to make special effort to i'm
prove.
Sentiment in the west seems more
promising for higher rates. CONNER
cial organizations are going on record
In favor Of higher wages to railroads
for moving freight; that Is a different
attitude than was the case In the pre-
vious movement for better rates. We
are hopeful some increase VIII be
granted.
