WAR RECORD WHEAT prices


Turkey by Italy had an explosive effect
with buyers.
On second wave of buying, May
wheat went to S1.40 bushel, the high
est figure with few exceptions in fifty
years, the parallel thus going back
broadly to the American Civil war. To
days high prices were supported by
dispatches telling of excitement in the
grain trade at Liverpool, and admitting
that demand there was keen.
In the next hour another cent a
bushel was added to previous values, so
that May wheat here was quoted at
$1.41 bushel, Meanwhile it was an,
nounced that bids from Great Britain
at the American selboard had risen
four cents, as compared with yesterday
1t was also stated that largo of Dur
um wheat had been sold at the rate of
S2.07 bushel, delivered in Italy
Only "A hours ago it was thought a
marvel to get $780, for Durum that
was also bought subject to the cost of
all charges to the Mediterranean.
Before the day was over, commits
sion houses found it necessary to de
mand a big increase of margins from
customers who sought to trade in
wheat. The violent changes in the
market resulted in margin CT Toe a
bushel being generally required. Re
Gently five cents bushel has been the
rule. The doubling of margins put
spectators under hansltcap and soor
reduced the volume of pit transaction:
just as proved to be the case when the
market ran wild in the earlier periods
of the war before the Germans wheeled
suddenly in front OF Paris.

Mr.. M'CUBBIN HONORED
Selected to Speak on Profit Sharing
at the Convention of the National
Retail Drygoods Association

Mr.. T. P. McCubbin, manager of the
Bowman & Co. store in this city, has
accepted an invitation to address the
National Retail Drygoods Association
on the subject of profit Sharing" at
a convention to be held at the Hotel
knickerbocker, New York City, on Feb.
ruary 10.
''Protit Sharing is attracting much
attention throughout the country, es.
pecially in the large department stores
Bowman & Co. were pioneers in the
movement TO share profits with EN-.
ployes and have studied the proposition
and improved on original plans until
a very satisfactory system has been
worked out. This system has proved Sc
satisfactory, in fact, that merchants in
other cities have written for details
and it is the suggestion of many that
it should be made the subject of the
leading address at the next meeting OF
the national body.
Mr.. McCubbin is an enthusiastic ad
vocate of profit Sharing and has
made an exhaustive study of the sub
ject. His wide experience qualities him
TO speak authOritatively on the sub
Ject.
The National Retail Drygoods Asso
citation includes in its membership pro
prietors of large drygoods and depart
ment stores in the principal cities
throughout the country. The selection
of Mr.. McCubbin as the person to ad
dress the convention on this important
subject is regarded as a recognition OF
the progress Harrisburg has made in the
movement.

CAPITOL HILL
ATTACK WOOD PULP Rates
Paper Mill Men Say Pennsy's Charges
Are Too High and Railroads Put .
in Vigorous Denial

The advance of 10 cents ton by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, for
the transportation of pulp wood from
points both within and without the
State of Pennsylvania to paper mills
located at Tyrone, Williamsburg, Lock
Haven, Roaring Spring, York Haven
and Johnsonburg, was attacked before
the Public Service Commission by Will
liam A. Glasgow, Jr, representing the
West Virginia Pulp and Paper Com
pany and the New York and Pennsyl-
ed by William I. Shaffer and Frederick
l.. Ballard, of counsel for the respond
ent.
1t was argued in defense of the rates
that when they are compared with
rates on other similar kinds of wood
in the same territory, and when the
financial situation of the respondent is
taken into consideration, that the new
rates are entirely proper and that the
effect of the advance has been merely
to restore them to their normal basis.
1t was also explained that the respond
ents, in common with other carriers, IN
this section of the country, have for a
number of years been faced with the
urgent necessity of increasing their net
revenue if their properties are to be
maintained so as adequately to serve
the public and their credit is to be
such as to enable them to secure new
capital for future development.
Mr.. Glasgow eontended that the rail
road made no effort to ascertain the
cost of tranSportating pulp wood or the
proftableness of the former rates, nor
did it consider the remunerative nature
of the traffic. The fact that this com.
modify, he said, took lower rate than
other commodities is not justification
of the reasonableness of the increased
rates and declared that even the rates
in existence prior to the increase were
unjust and unreasonable

GERMANS MAKE FURTHER
GAINS IN THE ARCONNE
forest; REPULSE French

Berlin jan. S, BY Wireless to Lon
don, 3.05 p. Mn the official state
ment issued at Berlin to-day tie Ger
mans announce they have made further
gains in the Argonne forest, in France,
and that attempts of the French to ad-
vance in the vicinity of Rheims and
in the Vosges mountains have been re-
pulsed. The statement adds that fight
ing is still in progress for the Alsatian
village of Oberburnhaupt.
In Russian Poland, where unfavor-
able weather is interfering with mill
tary operations, the Germans report the
capture of 1900 prisoners. The text
of the communication follows:
"In the western theatre of the war
the continuous rains swamped the
ground in Flanders more and more and
our operations in consequence are very
much hindered. To the east of Rheims
the French attempted during the night
to take one of our outer trenches but
they were driven back into their own
positions by counter attack, losing
fifty prisoners. In the center and in
the eastern part of the Argonne we
made further progress.
" A night attack by the French
against our positions on the Buchen-
kopf, south of Diedolshausen, in the
Nosges, was repulsed. Repeated French
attacks on a height to the west of
Sennheim (Cernay) broke down under
our artillery fire. We took two officers
and more than 100 men as prisoners.
Fighting still is going on for the viii
lage of Oberburnhaupt (Burnhaupt-Le-
Haut), to the south of Sennheim.
Unfavorable weather also is being
experienced in the eastern theatre of
the war. On the east Prussian from
tier and in northern Poland, the situa-
tion remains unchanged. East of the
Rawka river our attacks are progress
ing. One thousand six hundred Rus.
slams are taken as prisoners and five
machine guns were captured by us.
Only artillery battles took place on the
eastern bank of the Pilica river

Several of the attorneys had been
heard when that phase of the question
requiring argument from Mr.. Abbott
came up.
As Mr.. Abbott advanced to begin his
argument he was stopped by Chairman
Pennyp3cker, who reminded him that
he had filed fifteen questions with the
Commission based on the fact that Com
missioner johnson had conversed with
railroad official on the proposed ac.
tion of the Commission in the matter
of passenger rates before such action
had been made public. At this point
Commissioner Pennypacker quoted the
law defining the rights of the Commits
sioners and held that Commissioner
johnson was clearly within the law
when he held converse with the rail-
road officer.
"What Commissioner johnson did, -
said Commissioner Pennypaeker, was

cure information, to pursue the same
course. Commissioner Johnson was
doing Just what he was entitled to do. -
