whea1-The wheat market started
strong again this morning. but heavy
realizing sales resulted in decline
from the high point OF N to i 3. cents
and closing prices were y cent lower
for Decent Der, Is and L cent lower for
May and q and IL cent for July, The
selling was largely OF a realizing char
acter and much Of It Tor local account
The advance has been rapid and Tari-
Gus lInconfrmed bearsh rumors from
the seat Of war in Europe Influenced
the trade. Another increase IN the
estimated Argentine surplus emana1-
ing from English sources. also had IT'S
effect, The surprise Is that declines
should not have been greater.
Corn-Corn averaged higher and
closed 4 to Y cent UP. There was little
pressure on the market aside from the
influence exerred by the break tn wheat.
This influence however, was not
permanent and clase was within
sha de of the high point of the day.
There was a fair shipping demand,
both domestic and foreign Illinois con-
tinues TO hold of and IS offering very
little corn TO this market
Oats - The oat market showed
strength on It's own account today, ex-
hibiting a sharp advance early on buy
ing by cash interests against heavy ex-
port sales. A million bushels Of oats
were said TO have been sold over night
By one house and an equal quantity
was reported sold at Winnipeg to the
British government. Tired holders were
the best sellers.
Provisions-On opening strength,
packers were credited with hedging
against liberal purchases of hogs. The
run OF hogs was SO heavy as to cause q
break in prices al the local yards with
the close to 10 cents lower Today 8
buying was Of scattered investment
character While cash trade in meats
IS still quiet, an improved demand is
being felt for lard.

PARIS. oct. S-Writers In the newspa-
pers say the latest official bulletins have
succeeded in dispeling the feeling OF
msgiving which had been prevalent for
the past few days.
The energetic measures which have
been taken against the circulation Of
false news even reports OF French vic
tories. have had the effect of making
the public mistrust anything but the
official communicates. and no credence
IL given to reports for which no author
ity Is given. Hence the rumors that
the Germans had broken through the
French lines at Roye. that the big NOR
tars OF the Germans had succeeded IN
battering down the Antwerp forts and
that the King of the Belgians had gone
to London were discredited.
The experts agree that the situation
is favorable along the whole line of the
front, which to-day extends over a dts
