"Mine dragging in the strait is be-
ing effected under the protection of
the armored and other cruisers OF the
combined feet"
The Athens correspondent Of the
liavss Agency sends the following dis
patch regarding the bombardment:
"News received from the island of
Tenedos last night says that the bonn
bardment Of the Dardanelles continued
with violence from 0 o'clock in the
morning until in the evening. The
fire from the forts was intense during
part of the day, but diminished and
ceased before niehtfall.
Forts Erthogroil, Sedd-el-Bahr and
Orhanie suffered a great deal, espe-
olally Sedd-el-Bahr, which was on ire,
the flames being seen from Tenodos.
One of the Allies cruisers entered the
strait during the evening and bonn
bsrded the forts for an hour. IL then
withdrew safely.
"The result of the ire Of the Turkish
forts is not definitely known, but il
appears to be established that none of
the Allies vessels has been seriously
damaged"
London, Feb. 27.-The Athens corre-
spondent Of the Exchange Telegraph
in a dispatch dated Friday says:
"The bombardment of the exterior
forts of the Dardanelles has resulted
in the destruction of forts Sedd.el-
Bahr, Kun Kale and Orhanie.
"A French cruiser penetrated the
straits and remained an hour lombard
ing the interior forts. It departed un-
damaged"
The Athens correspondent Of THE
Daily News" says:
THE firing by the allied warships on
the Dardanelles forts ceased AT $3.50
o'clock yesterday afternoon. By mid.
day several forts had been silenced and
flames were visible from them. One
of the British ships entered the mouth
of the straits, staying about an hour
and pouring considerable fire on the in .
terror forts. The warship returned
without being damaged"
Constantinople (via London). Feb. 26.

Says II Won't Last.

Mr.. Letter qualified his prophecy to
a certain extent. He was not sure how
long the prices would remain down. He
explained that the decline in prices
may only be temporary, because Of the
difficulty of moving grain from the in
terror of Russia After the supply in
the terminal elevators had been ex-
hausted no man could tell how long it
would take to get the wheat from the
country. Necessarily the movement
would be difficult and slow because of

That prophecy Of relief from the
high prices of wheat, -four and bread
in this country was written with capt.
tai letters in the record of the Attor-
ney Generals inquiry yesterday by Jo-
seph Letter, onetime leader of the big
grain spectators. With the opening Of
the Dardanelles by the Allies and the
beginning of the outflow of the vast
stores of grain in Southern Russia a
drop in price would result, he testified.
Every crash Of shell, every fort
demolished on the way to the 100000
600 bushels Of Russian wheat cornered
by the dogs of war brings relief nearer,
he said. Confidence that the Allies
would speedily open the way started
prices tumbling on the Chicago Board
of Trade yesterday. Floods of selling
orders forced the price down eight
cents a bushel, and there was every in
dication that export orders had already
begun TO decline.
