CHICAGO MARKETS
 ARE STRENGTHENING.
Liberal Trading With Rapid Changes
 in Prices.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Notable broaden ing of speculative business on change today accompanied the action of Great Britain in joining in a general war. Despite the enforcement of ten per cent margins the public at large would not be restrained from taking a liberal hand at trading in which rapid price changes covered a range of more than four cents a bushei and which resulted in ar ex- -treme advance of I-4c for wheat
 Export conditions were in greater confusion than at any time since the war began. Notwithstanding that a majority of dealers looked for a so- lutiou being reached through action of the treasury department at Watshing- ton in lieu of seemingly futile efforts in Londcn the prospect of success was sufficiently doubtful to keep leaders, if not the public, in a conservative mood. One of the most serious fe3.- lures of the wheat trade was the fact that 20.600,0O0 busiels intended for export were held Cp in virtual block aGe at Galveston and New Orleans With the big gulf outlet choked southwestern trainloads were be- ing headed for Chicago and unless re- lief should bc afforded were threat ening to swfmp temporarily the mark et heI.

covered in the course of this campaign, and the suffraefsts have had energy enough to spare to hold several meet ings also in border towns in Hartford and New London county. The final meetings to be held this evening are at Higganum and Middletown-at both of which places Miss Pierson has ey- cry reason to expect big audiences and keen interest. The meeting on Monday evening at Cromwell was a proof that Miss Persons fame has even penetrated into her own town, and as Middletown is so near to Crom- well it Is to be expected that the peo- ple there will also be anxious to hear the woman who has made for herself a national fame during her three years of work in the Connecticut suffrage movement.
 As soon as the campaign is over both Miss Emily Pferson and Miss Aiyse Gregory are planning to take their vacations. Miss Gregory had taken her passage for England on Aug. 18th, but 1t is certain now that the European war will prevent her going
 Miss Pierson has not yet made her vacation plans public, but both she and
 Miss Gregory have abundantly earned the vacation which they are about to take.
 Mrs. George D. Harrison of Lakeviue
 has arranged a meeting for Monday afternoon for members of the Salisbury Equal Franchise league and their
 friends. The meeting will be open to
 the public. The speakers will be MT and Mrs Edward Porritt of Hartford
