WHEAT MARKET
BREAKS AND Prices
TAKE SHARP DROP
Early Trading Shows Fall of
Nearly Five Points;
Partical Recovery

Chicago, ILL.,, July 29.-Instead of
advancing as most traders expected,
the wheat market to-day made start
ling break right at the opening. First
prices were down more than 2 cents
q bushel.
In another minute the market had
dropped an additional 3 cents or more,
then there was a sudden rebound of
more than 3 cents, followed by another
descent, but in this case not quite SO
violent.
The extreme point of the break in
the early trading was 4 - under last
nights closing, the market gradually
steadied at Approximately cents
down for active months and less for
other options.
The pits and galleries were crowded
to their utmost capacity. The COM
motion among the traders, however,
after opening had actually begun, was
decidedly less tumultuous than Yester-
day when news was received that war
had been declared.
Corn showed some firmness at the
outset, but after opening a off to u up,
dropped a bout cent and displayed
but little power to recover. Oats de-
veloped comparative strength at first,
but later declined. Weakness seized
provisions when grain failed to adj
vance. Moderate upturns were quickly
more than wiped out. The brokers de-
manded prohibitive margins.

Washington, d. c., July 29.-Gen-
eral Carranza and Provisional Pres-
dent Carbajal have agreed on a basis
for the arrangement of peace in Mex
lea, according to a message received
here to-day by Jose Castellot, per-
sonal representative of Carbajal
Mr.. Castellot showed Secretary
City, which stated that General Villar
and Justice Allond, Carbaial's two
delegates to Carranza, have been in
structed to carry out in detail the gen
eral basis of peace already agreed
upon"
That was interpreted by Castelot
to mean that through private channels
and through Reginald Cepada, ad-
vance delegate of Carbajal now with
General Carranza, a definite under
standing has been reached for peace
full transfer of the government at Mex
leo City to the Constitutionalists
With respect to amnesty and guar
antees General CarranZa, it is under
stood, will promise immunity to all
except those directly responsible for
the overthrow of Madero. Practically
all those said To he guilty have fed
Mexico, and that exception will not he
opposed by the Carbarjal government
An agreement by which Zapata' 5
forces are to cooperate with the Con-
stitutionalists in restoring peace
throughout Mexico has been arranged
by delegates at Vera Cruz and now
requires only the signatures of Car
rama and Zapata before being made
public.
A definite idea of General Villas
intentions is expected soon.

All Europe, Hoping
For Peace, Is Preparing
For Threatening War
By Associated Press

London, July 20. - While Austria
Hungary was to-day preparing to
strike at Servia, against whom she yes
terday declared war. the rest of the
European nations, although still hop
inc that the conflict would be localized.
were getting ready for the greater war
that must ensue in case Russia should
intervene on behalf of the small Slav
nation.
The state of the stock market in
London showed to-day that the sit
uation was considered grave and the
anxiety was added to by the issuance
of orders to the British fleet ut Port
land to sail for destination Whlch
was not revealed to the pubic.
In the meantime dispatches from
Vienna showed that the movement Of
the Austrian forces toward the SerVlan
frontiers was proceeding steadily, Dut
q strict censorship concerning the mill
tary movements prevented the exact
destination of the troops from reach
ing the outside world. All the Austrian
and Hungarian railways were taken
over yesterday for military tratf1c ana
TRANSPORTATION for general purposes
was suspended.
Servia, it was known. was just as
active in moving her troops. strong
forces were dispatched TO the lortilleu
towns of Valyevo and Uzhitza, on the
Bosnian frontier. and to Svilajd, in
the eastern part of the country. while
strong divisions of volunteers REIN
forced by regulars were gathering
along the River Drina near Losnltz
on the Bosnian frontier.
The Montenegrins also were making
preparations and had stationed brl-
gade with a mountain battery near
Pridoj, where women were busy build
ing earthworks.
Servian and Austrian aviators at the
same time were flying along the from
tiers trying to locate the positions OF
the opposition forces. AS far as gen.
eral European war is concerned diplo-
mats in London, while they confess the
situation to be most grave, consider
there is hope of averting conflict SO
long as the Austro- Russian "conVer-
sations' continue at st. Petersburg.
Another danger has arisen owing to
the uneasiness in Germany at the
preparations being made by Russia
along her frontier. Ordinarily, 1t is
pointed out, Germany ana Austria

Hungarians who have been de-
clared deserters for having avoid
ed the actual military service and
prescribed periodical encampment

to Austria or Hungary and report

and country, will unhesitatingly
respond to the patriotic sense of
the hour.

Interference with the proposed plan

ed in City Council Tuesday by Com
missioner Harry f. Bowman, Super
intendent of Public Safety.

day that if he can prevent it, mot a

parkland between Calder and Maclay
streets unless the city acquires by pur-
chase or donation the park frontage

owners.
The Commissioner made that en-
phatic declaration In discussing the
report that some of the Front street
residents-those by the way, who
have not vet turned over their lands
to the city for park purposes-will
start injunction proceedings against
the head of the Department of Public
Safety to prevent his laying the new

CZAR NICHOLAS OF RUSSIA
These are the monarchs most close
ly concerned in the war between Ser
via and Austria. Emperor Franz
Josef of Austria is an aged man who
has passed through more wars than
any ruler of Europe. lie is cold ty-
ranuical, and merciless, and it has
been his ambition for more than half
century to extend his domains south
through the territories now controlled
by Servia, Greece. Bulgaria and Rou-
mania. He hoped that the Turkish
war; i'm which the smaller Kingdoms
south drove the Turk out of Europe.
might leave him in possession of that
territory. But his guess was wrong
The Car is concerned i'm the war
because it has been his policy to pro-
tect the SlaVs of Bulgaria, Servia
and Roumania. The Russians have
tried to build strong sentiment
south of Austria to check her devel-
opment.
King Peter -larageorgevitch of Ser
via, who may lose his throne if the
war continues, is one of the mourn
full figures among rulers in Europe
He succeeded to the crown after King
Alexander and Queen Draga had been
murdered, and for long time some
governments in Europe would not
him. He has now, how
ever because of the aggressons of
Austria, won much sympathy.
