wheat RECEIVERS sudden
SLUMP And Goes TO S1.66
Peace Rumors Deal Blow to High Prices
and Eight Cents a Bushel Is
Knocked on Value of May Deliv-
{ cry at Outset

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Peace rumors dealt
a sudden blow to-day to high prices of
wheat. At the outset as much as eight
cents bushel was knocked off the
value of the May delivery in which,
however, Transactions were relatively
smashed the July option IN which busi-
ness chiefly centered, was given a set
back of cents at the opening. May
sold as low as S1.57, whereas the close
yesterday was S1.65. The break in
prices, however, was only temporary
and soon May wheat touched a new
high record, s1.65 1-2.
Fear of the opening of the Darda-
nelles had considerable to do with the
witness of the fluctuations in wheat.
Reports, though, that several of the
chief forts defending the strait had
been demolished were not fully credit
ed, and did not have lasting effect
The same was true of the peace talk,
which rested on gossip as to action by
financiers likely to be taken by Nav 1.
During the break, May reached for
moment as low as s1.56 "a, a fall of
s IA.
The scene in the pit gave little hint
of any greater strain than usual. On
the rebound May wheat jumped even
tually to $1.66, making the range COW
cred by that option nine cents, a swing
seldom equalled in so short time. july
dropped five cents to s1.3S, but recoy-
cred to $1.40 "a.

Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's
new drive at Warsaw apparently has ac-
complished little more thus far than the
winning of comparatively few Rus

Berlin nor the Petrograd official re-
ports indicate that marked changes
have resulted from the fighting, which
daily becomes more intense. The Ger
man commander has chosen to make his
principal assault along the front be-
tween Sochazew. 30 miles due west of
Warsaw, and Skiorniewico, few miles
to the south, which is In the section in
which the Germans vainly attempted to
break through on their previous
attempts to reach Warsaw. Both sides
occupy strongly entrenched positions in
this region, where the warfare closely
resembles that in France.
An official Russian report of to-day
states that German attacks in this 10
cality were repulsed in the course of
violent battles, during which the Rus
SLAMS recaptured trenches previously Ia
ken by the Germans.
Russian successes are claimed also in
the fighting in the Carpathians, which

day appealed to the German Ambassa-

Vanceboro, Me-, Feb. 3.-Werner
Van Horn who was arrested here yes
terday after attempting TO blow up the
Canadian end of the railway bridge
between this town and st. Croix, n. b.,
was carefully guarded at the immigra-
tion office throughout the night. No
formal charge had been preferred
against Van Horn who said he was an
officer in the German army and that
he had exploded the dynamite as an
act of war. He made no objection to
his detention in custody of county
Deputy Sheriff but insisted that he had
committed no offense for which he could
be extradited to Canada.
1t was thought here that the next
development in the case would be at
Washington, where it was expected
that the application for Van Horn S
extradition, forwarded by the Canadian
government to the British Ambassador
Yesterday would be presented to the
State Department to-day.
Under the auspices of Canadian of
fclals, court session was held last
night in McAdam Junction, Just across
the New Brunswick border, at which
testimony was given before a police
magistrate who later issued a warrant
against Van Horn.
NO service was made on the prisoner,
however, local authorities having de-
eided that the warrant had no legal
standing unless accompanied by an or
der for extradition.
