TODAY'S MARKET QUOTATIONS

while Austrian news is bearish. and
the Russians claim a big victory In
east Prussia in a dispatch dated 4
O'Clock today. The Examiner thinks
the rally due to oversold conditions
The Tribune offers no opinions OF con-
sequence outside of an allusion to the
heavy wheat receipts, which are ex-
pected to continue.
The Herald thinks the big breaks OF
Sent. to 10 have cleaned up the
weak spots in the grains, and COM
ments hopefully on rallies.
A drop of $4,000 tierces of lard at
Chicago in the Sept 1 to 10 period
is considered bullish on lard. Ribs
and pork amounts are about unchang-
ed. The rally of Tuesday has encour-
aged brokerage houses to forecast
higher prices for wheat and oats.
Digestion of comments shows belief
that the grains will meet an improved
buying demand on breaks.

Market Changes Still Depend on War
News.

Chicago, Ill, Sept. 16.-The course
of events in Austria will probably COW
er the grain trend for the balance OF
September. If Austria stays defeated
peace will be precipitated and the mar
kets will continue ex-war fever.
In n general way immediate peace
moves depend on sentiment of the
greatest central European war force
ever created. \ mighty engine whose
forces are violated by the defections
of its allies.
They will have to hurry up some OF
tI.ese export oats or they will never
reach the front. The Austrian crisis
is the war key. If Austria gives up,
the war should conclude by Oct. 10.
Peace news will not be bearish on
provisions. 1t will be bullish on cot
ton. For SO days the grain markets
advanced on long war theories. They.
have declined 10 days on short war in
dications. Market tendencies that out
lap eight days often continue, and may
last 16 days.
In corn the investor may refuse ac-
tivity above the zoe level for the May
month IN wheat we not only require
fall seeding news from abroad, but We
must have new estimates on their 1914
rye and wheat yields.
The real peace value of wheat can
not be announced. For the immediate
grain trend we must depend on war
news with some prospect of no per-
manence to bulges unless the central
European alliance scores a few victor
les.
Recent news suggests that every
long war theory must be sacrificed
that the market tone in the grains
will continue TO be imbued with un-
rest. IF we are tending towards peace
it will be natural for the grains to miss
the buying power created by the July
IS to Sept. excitements.
The trend for six weeks has been
