GRAIN PRICES UNDER
YESTERDAYS CLOSE
AS MARKET OPENS
Traders Play for Reaction,
Believing Upturn Was Too
Sharp-European Soil in
Shape for Planting.

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-On the theory that
yesterdays upturn in wheat was too
sharp, traders played for reaction to-
day and Thea market started one-quarter
lower at Liz for December and liz to
1lsia for May. There was rather free
selling by / brokers' The commission
call at the recession was fair.
The receipts of wheat at Minneapolis
and Duluth today were l,6s3 cars, against
800 cars a year ago; at Winnipeg 1853
cars against 1049 cars; at Chicago 344
cars against rs cars. 1t is estimated that
the area Of winter wheat in the surplus
States will exceed that of last year by
ten per cent.
Trade in corn was light. December
opened off sc,, at 72iac., to asc., and
May unchanged at 75Isc. to 747sc. There
was some realizing. The country is not
selling. The price current" has received
reports indicating total corn crop for
the United States this year of approxi-
matcly $4,000 100000 bushels, against g.
SOS. .O00.O 900 bushels forecast in the Sep
tcmber report of the Government. The
receipts of corn here today were 100 cars.
Prices in Argentina were frmer. 1t IS
expected that surplus of that country
will be disposed of quickly.
Oats was easier on realizing. The de-
mand was not so urgent. Most of the
bulls are waiting further reaction be-
fore increasing their lines There were
no sales by the country to arrive. Ex-
port business recently has been heavy.
The demand has come chiefly from the
continent, as the British markets ap-
parently are we'll supplied for the pres
ent. The receipts of oats here today were
2l7 cars.

pass the dividend on the common stock.
uue at this time, the following announce
ment was made by Cyrus II. Mccormick,
presidents
AS result of the European war, the
business of this corporation In the com
oating countries is almost at stand
sun. Thus far no report of any damage
TO the plant or properties has been re-
celved. From recent advlces we believe
the corporations losses in the countries
at war will be less than we at first
reared, but the situation In Europe makes
II practically impossible to collect, at the
present time, a large portion of the
moneys due us there.
The volume of business secured to
date would. under normal conditions, pro-
vide profits in excess of all the usual
dividend requirements for the year, but
In view of the existing European condi-
tons, the directors feel II would be un-
wise now to declare dividend on the

WAR SCENES IN AUSTRIA
Chicago Girl Gives Vivid Picture Of
Experiences at Seat OF
War.

War scenes in Austria are wildly
described in a letter, ripped open and
mutilated by military censors, which
was received from Chicago girl, Miss
Lillian S. FRANKIE, who is touring Eu-
rope, as companion to Miss Fanny
Mayer, sister of Levy Mayer, the at
torney.
Il wonder if this letter will ever
reach you," she says in her closing
paragraph. II am afraid it won't,
Things are in such a terrible condition
over here that / hardly know what to
expect"
But for the time being / am safe.
l have never in my life experienced
such excitement About six o'clock on
July 81, while was on my way back
to Carlsbad to rejoin Miss Mayer, our
train was held up twice by hundreds
of soldiers. At every railroad station
soldiers were telling their wives and
children good-by. 1t was such a sad
sight!
Thousands of Americans are fleeing
from Carlsbad, and Miss Mayer and
will endeavor to get into Germany i'm
mediately. We are in a terrible hurry
to get back to America before things
get any worse-if indeed they could
be any worse"
