POOR PROSPECTS

Fresh Weakness Developed in Wheat
Market Today Owing to the Lack
OF Export Calls,

Chicago. Nov. II. - Discouraging
prospects in regard TO export business
led TO fresh weakness. today in the
wheat market here. Comparative firm
ness OF quotations as Liverpool was of
only temporary assistance to the bulls.
Reports Of drought and Hessian fly in
Kansas were also nearly ignored. The
opening, which ranged from yester-
days close TO 1sG14c lower. was fol-
lowed by moderate rally but then by
a decided general sag.
Low offers from Omaha to the sea
board tended later to force an addi-
tional setback. The close was steady,

Der at 103A and May at 1.05&@

ket turned upward little aud subse-

Slowness of eastern demand pre-

TEUTONS' NEAR CAPTURE
 OF RUSSIAN RAILROADS

London. Aug 26-The invaders of Russia, with Ossowetz safely in their hands, are now rapidly gaining the whole triangular railroad system which, witk it's apex at Bialystok, also serve; Crodno and Ossowetz The mass of Feavy artillery freed by the fall of Ossowetz and Kovno is now be- ing brought against Brest-Litovsk and Grodno, but not without great difficult ties
 Hereafter field manoeuvering will count more or the German armies than the use of heavy artillery against fortresses, but open field movements may be checked by thekreported deter imitation of the Russians to dig them selves when their line has been re- formed back of Brest-LitoVSk.
 No further advance has been re- ported along the Riga-Kovno line, which presents a peri1ous problem to the Russians, but the Austrians and Germans are getting rapidly within range of Brest-Litovsk, notwithstand- ing the obstacles offered by the swampy nature of that region No hints are given that the Russians en- certain any fear that their armies will be trapped along this line.
 The Near East continues to present an appearance of precarious balance between the warning groups. The central powers claim a diplomatic victory of a Turco-Bulgarian agree ment, while the Entente allies appar- ent1y are bringing Serbia around to their view that concessions aretneces- sary to procure BuIgaria's adhesion to a reformed Balkan league.

RESERVISTS AT
 CAPITAL HELD
 AS GERMAN SPY

Washington, Aug. 26-Agents of the Secret Service of the Department of Justice, yesterday arrested here on a charge of espionage Gustav Kopsch, a.
 German reservist, who had in his pos session many photographs and films of the Notifications at Fortress Mon roe and pictures of the proposed for tif1cations at Cape Henry, protecting the entrance to Hampton Roads and Chesapeake Bay.
 Kopsch is the second Teuton to be arrested on this charge, an Austrian of many aliases having been taken in to custody two weeks ago in Florida, for having pictures of coast defenses in that state.
 The specific charge against Kopsch is that he violated Article of the Act of 1911 which prohibits the nak- ing of pictures, or the having posses sion of pictures that might impair the defenses of the United States. The prescribed penalty is a fine of $1,000, imprisonment for one year, or both. Kopsch is in the District of Columbia, jail in default of $5,oOo bond fixed by a United States Commissioner
 Kopsch's alleged a&tivities occurred in late July and early August. He first attracted attention by taking many photographs about Fortress Monroe and Cape Henry, where new batteries will be placed, and by the many questions he asked about the
 plans for new works He is said
 to have inquired where the guns would be placed and where the new pier would be built at Cape Henry for marine communications with the other forts in the bay.
 For some time Kopsch has been liv- ing here at a, boarding house at 142s U street. His movements were re- @%.o oI comment of his fellow-boarders, though his employment in some ca pacity by the Carnegie Institute seem ed to explain his presence. The de- .tectives who made the arrest got the impression that Kopsch, in spite of the | notice he had attracted, was utterly
 unaware that he was suspected.
 Kopsch is 27 years old and has been in the country about two years.
 Kopsch told officials that he was born in Dresden and came to the United States four years ago. He ob- tained employment with the Carnegie Institute in Washington two years ago as an instrument maker, and there has
 been nothing to show that he did not get the position in any other than a legitimate way. Kopsch took out his l first citizenship papers, but did not complete his naturalization
 <Kopsch had a suit case full of draw ings and photographs of forts on the Atlantic Coast. He said that he tried to get :he location of every Marconi station in the United States Asked how he managed to take photographs of Fort Montress, where he came un- der suspicion, he said that a. drunken sentry gave him permission to do so. ;
 1t Kopsch's boarding house. kept by
 Mrs. Mary c. Stockard. it was said that Mrs. Stockard was not there and that, orders had been given by the Department of Justice not to discuss the case.
