WHEAT EXPORT OUTLOOK.
Liverpool Cable Says Guarantee Plan
Will Likely Issue Tomorrow.

CHICAGO. August 5.-The most definite
advices regarding the export outlook
were received by George M. Blanchard,
Chicago representative of the North
American Export Grain Association. He
had a cablegram from Liverpool that the
British government plan to guarantee
war risks on ocean shipments Of wheat
was being held in allegiance owing to the
difficulty OF fixing the cost for receivers
account
plan was expected to be adopted before
tomorrow.
Bngland's actual entrance into the war
was signali7ed today by a drop of prices
in wheat Opening prices were v to ~
under last night with the market tend
ing downward.
Within a few minutes the break had
widened to 2 cents a bushel, and was still
in progress. The trade seemed to take
the position that for the time being the
effect of British action was to diminish
the chance of an immediate export de-
mand. Buyers who yesterday anticipated
quick action in the way Of foreign ship
ments were unloading today.
After the fall in values had reached N.
a reaction began, and the market rallied
more than a cent a bushel. The nearby
options in wheat were the weakest. Some
of the largest houses in the trade were
conspicuous on the selling side.

Commends Congress for Patriotism
and Business World Landed for

President Wilson last night signed
the amendment TO the Aldrich-Nree-
land currency law vesting the Secre-
tarv of the Treasury with discretion
AIRY powers as to the amount of emer-
gency currency which may be issued
the House and Senate having quickly
passed the special measure. as a con-
sequence of the European war, to pro-
tect the American supply of gold
The Treasury Department today con-
iinued to ship out currency TO as

Secretary McAdoo today declared
himself to he optimistic over the imam
ciaI situation. characterizing IT as eA-
cellent. He issued the following state
ment:
The passage by unanimous vote oi

noon of the amendment TO the ieuei : :
reserve act whereby the secretary VI
the Treasury is vested with power to
in such amount, exceeding even
$500 100000, as. in his Judgment. may
be necessary to protect the business
situation in this country. puts at res,
any question as to the AFFINITY OF Tue
hanks to take care of the situation.
There need be no fear whatever OF IN
sufficient currency to move the crops
and to meet the demands of business.
Increases Bank Circulation.
"The bill. as amended, authorizes the
Secretary, in his discretion, to permit
national banks to have outstanding a
maximum of circulating notes equiva-
lent to 125 per cent of their unlm-
paired capital and surplus. This pro-
vision will enable banks which have
no outstanding circulation equal TO
their capital stock to secure d large
amount of additional circulation.
Applications have been received from
a number of national currency associa-
tons throughout the country for addi-
tional currency. These applications are
being promptly responded to.
Already Sl0o.0o0.0O0 of currency has
been shipped to the suhtreasurles in New
York, Chicago ST. Louis, Cincinnati san
Francisco, Boston and Philadelphia. in
order that the needs of the banks may
be promptly supplied. In many cases
banks have applied for additional cur
rency merely as a precautionary measure.
The situation throughout the country
is excellent. No greater testimonial TO
the inherent strength of our financial and
economic positions and condition could
be given than the way in which the
country has withstood the shock of the
greatest European disturbance that has
occurred in the last hundred years.
Commends Congress.
THE unanimous vote in the House and
Senate is an inspiring evidence of the
patriotism of the representatives OF the
American people, who, whenever there is
a threatened danger, forget party lines
and present a solid front in support Of
the common interest

owing to the large proportion of straddle
interest between New York and Liver
