China's development Is now beginning,

American public did not understand the
situation in China.

freer hands to assist China said the

cruise began April 2s, the Seneca re-

and entered cold water on parallel II. in
longitude 1856. reads the log of the
Seneca as Transcribed for the report.
Before reaching cold water We picked
up berg in a mirage at a distance of
twenty miles.
1T was first seen from the deck and
could be made out from the bridge only
when the vessel settled between waves:
II could not be seen at all from the
crows nest for fully ten minutes after 1t
was reported from deck. In about half
an hour the mirage disappeared and the
berg could then be seen from the bridge
and crows nest, but not from deck"
Marked Mirage Effects.
On several occasions. particularly with
easterly winds, the Seneca's officers OBJ

the horizon was seen in a double mirage.
There is usually cold gray sky above

message from Capt. Irvine of the La

The change of bird life is commented
upon in nearly every report of An Ice
patrol cruise. The gulls have now gone
landward to nest, Capt. Johnston OBJ
serves, and the INJURIES and dovekies are
to the north around field ice and will
soon be nesting. Jaegers are appearing
in numbers: tern are fairly numerous and
Wilson petrol not uncommon. Shear

Conditions Upset Barometer.
The weather conditions on the cruise
are recorded as odd by Capt. Johnston.
The barometer kicked up all sorts OF
monkey shines. This he ascribed to the
contest for place in the ocean between
the gulf stream and the Labrador stream.
The gulf stream is very weak, running
only about quarter of a mile an hour,
where it was running over a mile an hour
in February and March. The Labrador
stream is still strong and has evidently
been very strong. pushing the gulf stream

FOOD SPECULATORS CAUSE.
 RISE IN MANY NECESSITIES
European War Causes Gut of Grain and Beef, But Prices Continue To Soar Because Wholesalers Hope
 To Get War Prices At Later Date.

Local prices on certain household commodities have risen within the past week and are likely to rise again, partly because there are not sufficient ships to carry imported articles, and in other instances because American speculators are holding the supply for expected demands from the Eur Opean armies
 While dry-goods and wearing. ap- parel have made noe1decided upward steps, large Tnerchandisers in the city, state that stocks of foreign articles are limited, and that the wholesalers have apportioned their supply among their customers throughout the coun- try without materially advancing prices. This applies to silks. imported gowns and millinery, which, if war continueg, will be replaced by newly created American styles that are now destined forever to take the place of the foreign. Shoes in Bridgeport will remain at stable prices during this season with predicted advance of 25 per cent next season.
 The housewife will have the hard est burden to bear in the Kitchen, where provendera has already gone up. Lamb quoted in the retail markets this morning at 16-20 cents was at Il cents top last week Beef. 151-2 to 16 cents this morning was IA 1-2 to 15 last week. Fresh pork has ad- lyanced 8 cents per pound this week and salt pork over 1 1-2c. Vegetables are as cheap as they have been in
 many years. Lard, which dealers say has been low, is now on the incline at Pc more than last week. Pure ket- tie Rendered leaf lard was quoted at 13 1-2c this morning. Hams and back have advanced about Pc per pound this week.
 Quotatins on flour while still ris- ing, have not created any advance in bread, rolls or pastry. Flour at $5.50 last week is now ST per barrel. Teas and coffees are the same in price but reports from New York indicate that blending may be resorted to by the larger dealers who are affected by the upward wholesale price.
 Sugar, one of the chief factors in the housewife's program at this season when canning is under way, took a flyer this week to six cents whereas it was four and one-haf cents.
 Only a limited supply of imported oils and canned goods are in the mar ket. French peas, sardines, o1ive-oil and condiments have already advanced 20 per cent. Eggs though up to 40 cents per dozen are not controlled by war scarcity, but rather due to regular season changes Butter quoted today st 34 cents against 30-32 last week.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-08-12

It was said today in drygoods cir cles that the real pressure of interrupts ed German commerce is felt where dye stuffs are needed in coloring cloths. Large importers here have agreed not to take advantage Of the scarcity un- til their present supply is exhausted and already dyers throughout the coun- try are beginning an interchange Of the colors held in reserve and not wanted by them. Under this system of give and take. mercI1ants here predict that the modish woman will not suf- fer much for lack of novelty in color this season. The American manufac- turers are not raising the price of domestics as far as can be ascertain ed.
 i The price of beans, which hasS been raised two cents per pound, is taken a criterion of speculation about the city today. It is known that with a bump CT crop last year, much of which re- mains on hand yet, and with a good new crop coming the price should be relatively low. On the other hand it is going up merely because specu1a- tors figure that European armies will need much in the near future. The same condition applies to split peas
