WHEAT LOWER.
Germ and Provisions Also Easier in
Chicago

Chicago, Sept. 25.-Wheat prices
continued to fall today, bearish sentl-
ment being emphasized by lower quo
tations from Liverpool where the
stocks were said to be liberal and
were expected to be increased by
more shipments, notably from Canada
and Argentine. The down turn here
was interrupted by a rallying due to
shorts taking profits, but the effect
failed to last. After opening 1-2@
7-Sc Off the market rose to slightly
above last nights level, but then
sank lower than before.
Rumors of export sales had a
steadying influence On corn. The
opening, which ranged from 1-2c de-
cline to lac advance, was followed
by an all around gain.
Oats, like corn, responded to talk
of foreign demand.
Provisions recovered when feeding
grain showed evidence of strength.
At first attention had been given
mainly to setback III the value OF
hogs.
Predictions of a decided increase of
the VISIBLE supEly to Talmonday kept
the wheat market depressed. The
close was steady at the same as last
night to 3-4c lower.
Afterward the sag in the wheat
market tended somewhat to east off
corn. The close was nervous at the
same as last night to lie down.
The leading features ranged as fol-

Hecla Street Contract Likely. to Be
Completed Next Week.

Contractor Paul p. Roehm and his
force of men are making excellent pro-
gress on the Hecla street pavement
during the last few days. Already the
cement has been laid along more than
half of the block being improved and
as the garding has been completed ON
the remainder of the block, it seems
likely the work will be completed BY
the middle of the week If the present
favorable conditions continue.
Some trouble is being experienced in
keeping traffic off the freshly laid CO.
ment. Yesterday an autoist, after
driving on the west side OF the street
which has been entirely, completed
suddenly crossed over to the east side,
where the cement was green" Be-
fore the machine could be stopped the
fresh cement was badly damaged and
extensive repairs were necessary. The
officers are doing their best to warn
the owners OF vehicles of any kind
against using the street before it IL
opened for traffic. n

Statistician Gives Figures of the
Titanic Struggle

New York, Aug. 22.-With approx
mately 2O,000,000 men under arms in
Europe, representing nations the areas

the area Of the globe, statisticians are
figuring out various complex yet in
teresting conditions which the mobili-
cation OF SO vast body of men in time
OF war necessarily creates.
The war now in progress being one
Of the greatest in history, It follows
naturally that in comparison with the
data OF the past present computations
rise To heights beyond the comprehen-
sion OF the average person, whose tall
ents for mathematics are, perhaps, di-
rected in other and more useful chan
nels.
After making various calculations,
based upon facts and figures connect
ed with the current war, statistician
said that IL the armies Of Germany.
France Austria, Russia, England, Ser
via. Montenegro, Belgium and Italy,
numbering 2O,OOO.OOO men, should lie
