THE GRAIN MARKETS.
wheat shows stesdier Undertone-
other Markets Irregular.

Tie export situation gave a firm un-
dertone to wheat during most OF the ses-
sion. Selling by the Armour house and
other selling of Il rCa;tered nature limited
the bulge. The important news OF tho
day WAS that there was an Increase OF
100000 bushels in the visible supply
statement. A gain OF this magnitude had
never before been recorded In the weekly
statements of the wheat stocks at ter
nInal points.
Despite the fact that the Increase was
much above the popular estimates tho
market actually rose after the Issuance of
the figures II seemed as though too
many professional traders had previously
sold Short in anticipation OF the huge
pillng up of supplies. After the close Of
the market tho Canadian wheat visible
showing was posted. this Increase being
5000, 900 bushels. a benrish Brndstrsets
report to-day is expected. Meanwhile II
is noteworthy that tho American visible
contains only 100000 bushels. against
100000 last year. while In tine Cana
dian there ara 10000, 900 az compared
with 100000 bushels In 1918.
Sentiment was changed slightly. More
advocates OF higher prices were making
themselves conspicuous. II was uverred
that the export sales put through late
Saturday were 100000 bushels and that
there was easily ss much more yesterday.

War news had an effect on the market.
Not only did traders remind others that
the conflict was still raging through
Europe's seeding time. but they pro,esst Il
to be disturbed by the cables claiming
that Russia was cocrcing Turkey. The

Studying the Russians.
(By Ed L. Keen)

London, Oct 3.-The wars outcome
depends largely on the Battle of Cra-
cow, military men asserted today. The
battle will determine whether the Rus
slams are able to efficiently aid the
allies and whether the officers are
capable of directing the army hordes.
Practically the entire Austrian ar
my IS on the line, with Germans. The
Kaiser is in supreme command on the
Russian border, and Won Moltke and
Won Der Goltz are aiding. With the
Cracpw battle Of immediate import
ance, experts declare Teutonic de-
feat there would leave open the road
to Berlin. The Germans believe a
Russian defeat would force the Gar
to make peace or face revolution.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-10-03
Let This Soak Into ourSysten,

dolence and depravity already have
emerged into self-respecting citizens.
The effect on the character is already
visible in neatly brushed clothes in
stead Of the former ragged and SLOW
enly attire. Huts which formerly were
dila pidated and allowed to go without
repairs are now kept in frst-class
condition.
The towns have become more ord
ef1y and the peasants indulge IN
wholesome amusements. These peo-
pie now save 55 per cent of their earn
ings which formerly was spent fo'
drink and they have increased their
earning capacity through sobriety.
This extra money is now devoted to
the necessities and comforts Of life.
This startling regeneration of the
