RYE And DURUM WHEAT UP
Strong Demand for Rye, Which
Reaches Dollar Mark.
HIGHEST PRICE ON RECORD
Grain Men Say Cause of Great De-
mand L. Due to Export Trade,
which They Believe viii
Continue to Increase.

The strong demand and the high prices
paid for rye and durum wheat were the
features of the Omaha grain market
For the first time in the history of the
Omaha Grain exchange rye touched the
dollar mark, the price going TO within a
few cents OF that paid for No. 2 hard
wheat AS a rule the split between prices
on the two cereals is Is to 90 cents.
Wheat on the Omaha exchange sold
, at from $1.03 to s1.07A. while two cars of
Nebraska rye brought an even 81 per
bushel.
The high price attained by rye is ex-
planned by grain men to be: due 20 the
heavy foreign demand and the fact that
owing to the war in Europe there is an
enormous quantity sought for export.
Grain men are predicting that within a
month the price will advance rapidly and
is likely to pass wheat !
Durum wheat gained an extra half cent
and sold at the top price on the Omaha
exchange. There were nine cars on sale
and prices were generally around $l.l2 to
fila. with the top at si14i1. The car that
topped the market was exceptionally good
and was bought for export.
Grain men are already beginning IN
talk 50 per bushel for durum wheat he
fore next seasons crop is on the market.
asserting that Europe has Just COM
menoed to take the American product.
and that with the foreign demand and
the installing Of a number of mills in the
central states that will manufacture
durum flour, there is no telling how high
the price may go. This is the only flour
that can be used in the manufacture of
macaronie and spaghetti
For Saturday. the grain receipts were
ABOUT normal. the offerings consisting of
eishty-tive cars OF wheat, forty-nine OF
corn and thirty-four of oats. Corn was
strong and a cent up. prices fluctuatins
around 90 to 81 cents per bushel.

ALLIES TAKE HOPEFUL VIEW
OF THE BATTLE m FLANDERS s

LONDON, October 10, 1890 am
From the point of view of the allied
armies, so far as could be learned from
dispatches reaching London today. the
situation in West Flanders and In
France as far south as Lille seemed, on
this, the seventy-seventh day Of the
war, perhaps more hopeful than at any
time since the German advance on
Paris was checked.
Though the news reaching England
is meager, and to an extent delayed,
as always, all tidings seem to indicate
that the German advance from Ostend
on the French coast towns has been
blocked, temporarily at least. while
further south, in q region that was
week ago the extreme German right.
the invaders again have been compelled
to give ground before the allies wedge

Several reports contend that the Ger

report that they evacuated Courtrai.
nearly thirty miles northwest. 1t seems
plain, however, that the menace here
crew marked. and that the German
army operating along the coast Of
FLANDERS found itself in peril Of being
cut of from the main body.
What opposition they met along the
sea is only guesswork. for 1t has never
been disclosed in Great Britain what
forces the allies have. or at what point
they touch the coast.
All reports seem to agree that the
city Of Ostend is practically clear Of
Germans, who APPARENTLY are reforming

MAY PLAY A PART
IN GREAT BATTLE IN FRANCE

LONDON. October 10, 1850 p.m-By
reaching their tentacles out on the
seaboard the allies forces have estab-
lished close contact with tho British
navy, which is now on the extreme left
Of the line and seems-from the land
in view-for the moment to block ef-
fectually a further German effort to
turn this wing:
That the Germans may have grasped
this is perhaps indicated in the other
wise unexplained appearance Of four
of their torpedo boat destroyers Sat
urday of the Dutch coast southwark
bound. It is suggested that the object
was for the destroyers to convoy sub
marines which would dispute the COM
toral.
Menaced by British Mines.
Should the German navy undertake
this venture it would be confronted
with much the same proposition as has
met the British fleet since the COM
mencement of the war and it would
assume the same risks Of colliding with
mines heretofore faced by the British
alone because the British mine field
stretches right along the Belgian coast
from Ostend southwark.
If. as the allies claim, their left can
not now be turned. the only alterna-
tive left the Germans is to hack a way
through the trio of armies confronting
them, and Gen. Won Kluck or Gen Won
the German right, seems in no way
loath to make the attempt.
That they made q forward move is
