CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, October 17-Sensational
crop loss reports from Australia were
largely responsible today for a con-
tinued advance in the price OF wheat.
The market closed nervous at 70 70 ~

provisions strung out from 10 decline

1t was speedily apparent that II the
estimates received today were Substan-
TALLY correct, Australia was elimin-
ated for this season as an exporter OF
wheat Assertions were made that the
shortage in Australia would mount to
100000 bushels, whereas the entire
exportable surplus last year did not
aggregate more than 57,000,00O bushels.
In this connection, Liverpool dis
patches intimated that importers were
alarmed over the chance of future sup
plies in case of war complications De-
coming more acute.
Export houses led the buying in the
wheat market here and were said also
to be active at Duluth and Winnipeg.

lions that world shipments next week

Corn traders veered strongly to the
buying side. Country holders were
said to be refusing to sell either old or
new corn, shipping demand was more
urgent and there We're numerous COM

Prices for oats were stimulated by
rumors of Australian buying cargoeS at

without a precedent. There were also
bullish advices regarding the Canadian

AMERICAN HUSBAND.
A Fighter Among Men, But Child
Among Women.

From the Chicago Herald.
DIR. Max Nordau, the exponent of genius
as .'degeneracy," in the Paris Revue re-
Gently censured American women as bar
barians without culture In a later issue
of the same magazine he draws a portrait
of the American man. Omitting merely
physical traits the well known effects OF
a dryer climate with more sunlight upon
the original north European stocks. here
are Nordaus more salient Psychological
details:
He is married. he loves his wife: but
he lives in New York, Boston or Chica-
go, while she amuses herself in Paris or
Monaco.
Twice a year or once in two years he
appears suddenly and remains a few days,
during which he Is either receiving or
sending long cablegrams. Then he disap-
pears as suddenly as he came.
He speaks laconics in a deep. calm.
nasal voice. He is like a motor which
works without noise. He says little and
works all the time.
His GOODNESS concealS a sentimental and
naive life. In his head he carries stock
quotations; in his heart sentimentalities.
In the presence of men he is a fighter
phegmatic. cold as ice and hard as steel.
With women he is defenseless child.
DIR. Nordau declares that this is "a
synthesis of those traits which strike ua
most in observing American visitors in
Europe" but admits that 1t may be
more or less Of a caricature, at which
Americans may smile.
Americans seem to have no reason to
frown. 1t is certainly not an unfiattering
portrait of the highly successful Ameri-
can man of affairs who is content to let
his wife look after the social embellish-
ments and to be merely an unobtrusive
BACKGROUND figure while she plays the
leading part.
Though perhaps trifle antiquated in
its stress on economy in speech. for the
typical American is apparently becoming
more voluble. 1t seems a fairly accurate
portrait of the achieving American Of the
second or third generation behind the
pioneer. who has organized industry
rather than wrestled with the wilderness.
but has not yet lost the pioneers powers
and instincts.

AUTOS IN SWITZERLAND.
Rules for the Machines Vary in Diff
ferent Cantons.
From the Boston Transcript.

! From the Boston Transcript
Just what may happen to an automo-
bile in Switzerland has from time to time
been a matter of interesting speculation.
Certain cantons are chary OF permission
for them to enter. although in this coun-
try there are always the conflicting emo
tons Of means to attract strangers and
ways Of avoiding displeasing them when
they have come. Consisting Of what are
to an extent Independent states. the rules
are very different in different places.
Some of the peculiarities have been set
forth recently by the Swiss journals and
may serve to give information to any
who contemplate auto trips through this
delightful scenery. 1t is impossible to
enter Switzerland through Grisons. for
here the autos are forbidden. In Schwytz
the highways are forbidden on Sundays
from m. till pm. This Is in the line
of leaving the roads to the country peo-
pie on this their festival day. The Goes
chenen-Andermatt approach to the ST.
in the morning and 9 till 0 at night
Passage to Meiringen by the Furka and
Grimsel passes is forbidden. The COM
bination Is SO arranged that the st
| lizona and Tessino.
In order to reach the Oberland from
| Italy it is necessary to make the st.
Gothard and the detour by Lucerne. On
the u-Weggis-Greppen route autos
are forbidden on Sundays and festivals
and from midday till midnight on other
days. while the Brunig- Giswil section is
open on authorized days only from 8 till
6. For the Col de Forclaz in moving
toward Chamouni an authorization is
necessary and the same Is true if one
wishes to mount to Locie-les-Bains. The
speed limit varies in different places
usually between six and eight miles an
hour. and usually there are tolls with
not infrequently a payment for the spe-
cial permits or authorizations
There have been two general results
from this curious situation. one that
travellers in autos do not like to go into
Switzerland. and on the other hand the
hotelkeepers and press are vigorously
protesting against the policy of lack Of
uniformity and the local option" An
other result is the difficulties that Swiss
autos encounter when they try to go
into Austria, for example. One Amer
lean woman found her tour completely
blocked because 1t was a Swiss livery
auto and the Austrians would not permit
it to cross the frontier.

During the progress of the meal the
young director remarked to his guest:

War May Change Tariff.

When the outbreak of the European
war so reduced the volume of imports
that the failure of tariff duties to pro-
duce the necessary revenue compelled
a resort to other forms of taxation. it
was inevitable that the tariff should
once more come to the front as a no.
litical issue. Advocates of the old
schedules abolished by the present law
pointed to the need of more revenue as
the argument for restoring the former
schedules. At the time when the war
taxes first came up for consideration it
was suggested that the income tax he
materially increased, so that the deficit
might be covered without resorting TO
other burdens This plan, however
was received with very little favor. and
the raising of the $1O5.000, 900 required
was sought from other sources. while
incomes were left untouched
1t is safe to assume that the decline
in imports will continue for a lonp
time after peace is restored Durins
the interval of hostilities, the United
States will go into various manufactur-
ing enterprises on a large scale. and
will supply the South American mark &
in the place of the temporarily discon-
tinued European sources. When once
these new conditions are established IL
will not be easy to change them and
American manufacturers will occunv n
