Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Export demand
broader than ever whirled the price OF
wheat upward today after a break of 4Ac
that was largely due to the deadlock over
the so-called submarine war zone The
market finished at 14sD1S.c net advance.
Corn gained 9sd1ac to 9s9s4c,, and oats %c
to h@Ac. In provisions, the outcome
ranged from shade to 27kc decline.
Developments in the wheat pit were in
many respects the most surprising since
the war began 1t was the general belief
early in the day that the hazard to ocean
going vessels had been so augmented that
a material If not total stoppage of 'ex-
might be looked for-at least during O.
short period. Heavy liquidating sales
here by owners was the immediate con-
sequence and there were soon on record
smashing declines in values. Bearish SEN
timent was percentibly increased by the
official statement from Washington that
the United States was in IN G5o position position 9

mounted rapidly. ENGLAND was said to
be in the lead in the buying. with France.
Italy, Greece and Holland pressing close
behind. AS the end of the session APP

season. In this connection bull leaders
were declaring that actual farm stocks
were much less than had been assumed at
Washington. and that 100000 a day rate

Corn. like wheat. had an early break
and later a strong rally. Reasons In re-
gard to both cereals were much alike
Sales of cash corn here during the day
aggregated $50 900 bushels, mostly to
exporters. Oats swayed with wheat and
corn. II was said 100000 bushels of
oats were taken for Europe at the sea-
board.
Weakness In the hog market prevented
as thorough a recovery in provisions as
in grain. Besides cash demand for provi-
sions was reported to be very slow.
Following is the range of prices:

Peter looked very thoughtful and

this over in his mind. That Is a new

never would be able to forgive myself

said he. Just the same, 1 would ad-
wise you not to try to find 1t. Then
you will have nothing to trouble your
mind If you should be followed and

mine. You see. there are just as many

ISOLATION Of Foreign Language
Newspapers Disavows Fargo.


Louis N. Hammerling Of New York,
president Of the American Association
Of Foreign Language Newspapers,
called at the White House today to as
sure President Wilson that his organ
ization has nothing to do with claims
of DR.. William Fargo of Brooklyn, that
editors of foreign newspapers in this
country want William j. Bryan, former
secretary of state, to go abroad to
work for peace.
Mr.. Hammerling declared that DR..
Fargo does not represent the American
Association of Foreign Language
Newspapers. which. he said. included in
its membership practically all news
papers in the United States published
In foreign languages.
Our association" said Mr.. Hammer
ling, Stands behind the President, and
VIII do nothing to embarrass him We
have nothing to do with Mr.. Bryan
and do not want him to go abroad"
Mr.. Hammerling added that an inyes-
tigation is being conducted to learn
whether any members of his associa-
ton have accepted subsidies from for
eign governments during the present
war. If any are discovered, he said
they will be expelled from the associa-
ton.

SENATOR KERN DOUBTFUL
AS TO AN EXTRA SESSION
Thinks It Might Not Be Wise to
Convene Senate at the
Present Time.

ROANOKE. Va. September 23-"I
have communicated with a number of
senators in regard to calling a special
session Of the Senate" said Senator
Kern in discussing the question. When
the Senate adjourned last spring l was
strongly in favor of special session.
1t was my belief that the Senate rules
should be amended before the regular
session 80 there would be no delay in
the Senate's business later. I was Of
the opinion that an extra session could
be called in October. However. since
the European war situation has become
SO acute. I am doubtful of the expedi-
ency of an extra session. I think II the
war situation is at all complicated it is
doubtful whether We should hold one"
Speaking of the suggestion of
amending the Senate rules. the sena-
tor said he was asked last spring by
forty-one democratic senators to ap-
point a committee to revise the rules.
These senator's" he said, handed
me petition asking that name a
committee to amena the rules. I ap-
pointed committee Of five, with Sem
ator Owen Of Oklahoma as chairman
That committee has been at work dur
ing the interval and should be ready
to report by this time"
Senator Kern is staying at his home,
Kerncliffe, near Hollins Va, and
probably will remain there until his
duties call him to Washington.

Published Story Of Russian NUM-
=. lions Explosion Without Per-
init Of Censor.

LONDON, September GA sequel to
the sensational story of the destruc-
ton OF the great Russian ammunition
factory at Okhta, suburb of Petro-
grad, recently published by the North
cliffe newspapers. was foreshadowed
by a reply made in the house of COM
mons the other day by Sir John A.
Simon. secretary for home affairs, to
a question. The home secretary said
the story had been published without
being submitted to the censor and he
added that the fact had been brought
to the notice of the public prosecutor.
The story in question said thousands
of workmen We're killed when the fac
tory WAS blown to pieces last April
and that the destruction of the plant
caused such an extreme dearth of am
munition that nothing could be done
by the Russians against the German
artillery. A dispatch from Petrograd
at the time of the explosion said sew
eral persons had been killed and many
others injured and much material dam
age had been done as result of the
explosion.

NEW DRIVEWAY COMPLETED.
Road Around Peninsula Of Potomac
Park Opened to Public.

The new macademized driveway
around the margin OF the peninsula of
Potomac Park east of the Pennsylva-
mia railroad embankment has Just been
completed and thrown open to public
use. Under orders issued by Col.
Harris. the engineer officer in charge of
public buildings and grounds, work
was expedited on the section of the
road along the Washington channel in
order to complete the entire road in
time for public use during the en-
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic. The new road is about three
and half miles in length. and. being
connected at both ends with existing
roads in West Potomac Park, permits
a complete circuit of the entire park
area on all sides. 1t Is a favorite drive
for motorists and equestrians.

TIE SHIPPING Is RENEWED.
Resumption of Business Means Pros
perity for Many Along Potomac.

To complete her cargo of about 10000
railroad ties. the big barge William L.
Donohue, which has been lying at Alex
andria for the past two weeks taking
ties aboard, has been taken to Upper
Machodoc creek. Her cargo will be
carried to Salem, Mass. consigned to
an electric railway company.
The tie-shipping business on the Po-
tomac is awakening, and the local deal
ers in ties are now chartering vessels
and barges to move many thousand
ties from Potomac shores to Baltimore.
Philadelphia, New York and Boston be-
tween this time and the coming of ice
making weather. For more than a year
the railroads in the eastern section of
the country bought few. If any, ties.
and business was at standstill. About
six weeks or two months ago ship
ments of ties north were resumed, and
many thousand already have been sent
from the Potomac to northern railway
tie-storage points. The resumption of
the tie-shipping trade means prosperity
to many persons doing business along
the Potomac river.
