GRAIN NOTES.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
Wheat bulls said last night that they
expected higher prices, based on the
cash demand and prospects of steady
reduction in stocks from now on. 1t
was the impression among the bears
that any sharp let-up in the cash de-
mand will see a recession in. prices.
Corn bulls say they expect an i'm
proved cash demand and a further
rally.
Oats traders think there has been
advance enough
Bartlett-Fr Co say: Wheat
We are Inclined to think that yester-
days advance was overdone and unless
the export demand is brisk we believe
prices will recede.
"Corn-Shorts covered so freely yes
terday that we are inclined to look for
a reaction to-day.
"Oats-Market will probably follow the
course of corn.
Price Current says: THE growth
condition of winter wheat still continues
generally favorable with no indication
of damage to any considerable extent
by freezing. The winter wheat area
is generally covered with snow so that
prospect for the future is excellent
Hundreds of exports indicate that farm
ers are inclined to sell corn and oats
freely in the sections where the ship
ping surplus is large throughout the
northern portions of Iowa. Illinois, In
diana and Ohio. In other sections there
seems to be decided disposition among
farmers to hold corn until prospects for
the next crop is assured and that they
will be inclined to feed the corn rather
than to accept very much lower prices. :"

Sinking of" Ocean,c''
- Remains a Mystery

LONDON, Sept. l0.-The war ON
cials and the official press bureau
were strangely silent today as TO de-
tails of the wreck Of the White Star
liner ocean greyhound Oceanic OF the
north coast Of Scotland, Tuesday.
The statement issued said merely that
the big liner was wrecked and a total
loss, and that all officers and crew
were saved. Cause of the sinking OF
the ship, which had been taken over
as a naval reserve cruiser, was still q
mystery here early today.
The Oceanic was considered the nm
est OF the White Star liners. In many
ways she was a more palatial boat
than some of the larger and later
ships which piled between England
and America When she started on
her maiden trip to New York In 1899
she was the largest merchant marine
on the high seas.
When the Oceanic was building,
Thomas Ismay, father OF ]. Bruce Is
may, former president Of the White
Star line, gave orders that money was
not to be spared In fitting the ship.
No ship since built had more elegant
fittings, the furniture In the great din
ing room being of solid hand-carved
oak. decorated with gold.
