FRESH WATER PEARL
IN DEMAND NOW

Muscatine, Sept 2S.--Should thu
present European war continue for any
length of time it is possible that g,
pearl famine will be precipitated and
should such be the case the main
source Of supply will undoubtedly be
the Mississippi river. Pearls are re-
ported scarce on account OF the inter-
ruption in shipments from the orient
to London and Paris and thence to
New York. Experts state that this
will stimulate the demand for the fresh
water pearl found in the mussels OF
the Mississippi and its tributaries.

as though the 100000 blu. cash wheat
reported sold within a week by New
York and Chicago exports was osten-
sibly to the British government. 1t
was the belief Of the trade that a good
part Of the buying was earlier In the
week, when the Liverpool cables were
held up by the British government
presumably to allow 1t to purchase Its
wheat without exciting the market. AS
the feeling has been so nervous that
reported large purchases have materl-
ally affected prices Of late. 1t was In
timated from New York yesterday that
the price making power In LlVerpool
was in the hands of one man or firm,
the price fixing being arbitrary. On
the basis of 495 for sterling exchange
October wheat in Liverpool was about
s1.25, or 1910 over Chicago Septem-
Der.
It is understood that a good part
of the buying Of corn and oats, es-
pecially the latter, by Sweden at At
lantic ports, is astensbly for Germany,
and that the 1000, 900 blu. oats reported
loading at Atlantic ports for Sweden
will if possible be sent across the Bal
tic into Germany. The British gov
eminent has been on the lookout for
supplies going to Germany, and 1t may
wake up and prevent Scandlnavlans
from obtaining large stocks In the
United States. There are number
Of German grain men in this country
whose presence is being kept quiet.
They are doing no talking about bust
ness and their operations are entirely
under cover.
Sentiment in the grain trade is mod
erately bearish because Of slowness of
speculation. There lis gradual liquida-
ton going on New York longs were
free sellers here yesterday and have
been all week. The long interest in
all grains has been materially reduced,
Commission houses say, and close OBJ
servers Of pit conditions say the local
short interest has been greatly in
creased. The trade Is looking for a
big increase in the visible supply of
wheat and reduction in stocks of
corn and oats.
Feed barley is off 12c in three weeks.
Recently northwestern markets were
congested by heavy supplies and Du-
luth was unable to finance the 500
cars on track there. These have been
diverted largely to Chicago and Mil
waukee and the surplus, which was
mostly Of feed barley, has been dis
posed of. 1t is also said that consider
able has been sold for export.
