public and private galleries caught the
excitement and screamed and yelled
with the bowling brokers. The pit
fairly seethed with excitement.
Reports and rumors were SO diamet-
rically opposed in their effect on the
wheat pit that the sensational woo-
bling in prices which acted like an up
pointed stream of water suddenly turn
ed on full and then as suddenly turn

half hour of rioting declared they
were not greatly amazed.
Widely credited reports that open
ing of the Dardanelles might soon be
expected, thus letting out Russia's
wheat crops, was partly responsible
for the bottom prices. These reports
soon we're followed by news that New
Zealand's government had authorized
importation of wheat. This sent prices
skyward again.
At 10 O'Clock May wheat went to

Federal investigation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Some in
Idictments were in prospect today IN
connection with the federal fnvestiga-
ton OF wheat and flour prices. Attor-
new General Gregory would not admit
that his department is entirely ready
to act, but intimated that action may
be taken soon. He suggested that
the departments evidence does not
warrant indictments at the great grain
trading centers, but limited that some
OF the practices outside the big cities
might soon come in for them.
Meantime, he announced. his de-
partment will prosecute its inquiry

Advantage Of sIlencer.

This crash of the bullet makes the
value OF the Maxim silencer very little,
SO far as military efficiency is con-
cerned. in the way that the fiction
writer imagines the silencer to be use
full. but not to prevent the enemy from
discovering the position of the men
firing as many fancy.
Its value lies in the fact that 1t
eliminates fully half OF the recoil of
the rifle from the action of the gases
in its chambers, and it gives the off,
GERS much better control over the fire.
because of the lessened noise of the
rifles. 1t cuts down the roar OF the
Springfield to about the noise of the
.25-20 and thus the roar of the rifles
at the firing line is much reduced, and
the commands of the officers can be
heard.-Outing.
