WAGNER'S REVIEW
Morninq Grain Letter.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-During the past
10 days war excitement seems to have
ceased and the grain markets have
Quilted The 12 cent upturn to lis
wiped out general buying interests and
the cautious bulls are again seeking a
profitable buying level.
Some judges believe December
wheat will have TO figure 1OG to 1GS
before foreigners become active in eX-
ports or the futures. II is the general
opinion that an upturn in the grains
today will not be permanent.
The popular fancy turns to wheat
and oats on breaks. The country dis
plays no interest in the bull side Of
corn. Any large export demand will
mean a rally in the future.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET,
Features Of the Days Dealing In All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. April 23.--Speculative oper-
atoms were on small scale today. The
market received the same consistent sup
port which has been accorded on recent
days and the shorts did not venture upon
extensive operations At the same time
neither spectators nor investors were
eager to buy stocks in view of the Mex
lean situation. The more serious aspect
which the international crisis assumed
caused some unsettlement of securities
and distinct weakness in few cases. The
average loss, however, was small.
European markets apparently were
more disturbed over the Mexican crisis
than was the New York Exchange, owing
probably to the fact that Mexican Sc
eurities are held abroad more heavily
than here. Such heaviness as appeared
in this market was due largely to Euro
pean selling here. 1t was estimated that
10000 shares were unloaded here for for
Missouri, Kansas & Texas preferred were
sold most heavily by London. This sell
ing, together with a decline in Ameri
can stocks in London, caused general
scaling down of quotations early in the
market. but later losses were recovered
Toward the end of the day the market
fell off again. The late decline was in
fluenced by sharp break in Smelling
which was raided on the announcement
that the company has suspended opera
tions in its Mexican plants. The stock
broke over five points Mexican Petro-
leum and Southern Pacific also were af-
fected by fears of losses on their proper
