Brussels Eager for u. s. Wheat.

NEW YORK. August 15.-From cable
messages received by Pierre Mali, Bel
gian consul general, there appears to
be considerable anxiety in Brussels as
to the possibility of immediate ship
ments of wheat from this country di-
rect to Belgium. 1t was denied at, the
consulate that Belgium's situation as to
wheat was any more precarious than
that of France, England or Germany,
but within the last four days as many
urgent cable messages relating to
wheat shipments have been received.
Emanuel Havenith, Belgian minister
to the United States, had long con-
ference with Consul General Mali.
August 9 there came a message from
the minister of foreign affairs in Brus-
sells, requesting the consul to advise
grain exporters that Belgium had de-
cided to cover war risks to wheat ship
mcnts. The following day came two
more messages from the minister of
The first was as follows: -
Inform American exporters that
credit in Belgium remains unimpaired,
and that England has advised us that
all boats with wheat arrive directly in
Antwerp, all payments being assured
as in times of peace"
The second message of August 10 is
as follows:
Road to Antwerp being free, the Ma
tional Bank of Belgium is lifting docu-
