SOURCE OF DELAY
FOUR FEET OF WATER OVER THE
EAST DAM; NO DANGER FOR
THE NEW WORK.

The soft weather for the past few
days has begun to have it's effect on
the river and this morning there was
about four feet Of rise In the stream
at the east dam and half that amount
going over the cofferdam. The water
works trustees fear no trouble accord
ing to Superintendent Brown who stat
ed this morning that the efforts of the
workmen who have been engaged there
for the past month. was to prepare for
just such condition as has arisen. The
force Of men under Mr.. Brown have
accomplished considerable since the
first Of the year and are bending their
en- 4rgies to strengthen the cofferdam
as much as possible before the spring
break up of ice. With the sudden rise
of the water, the work has been inter
fered with, but this Is believed to be
but temporary and II the conditions
warrant the workmen will begin to run
concrete and otherwise protect the cof-
ferdam against the big tonnage of ice
and water that will be thrown against
it when the break and rise come In the
spring.

would deal heavy blow to the Ger.
man textile factories which are now
just beginning to receive almost nor.
nal supplies from the United States.
State department officials indicated
that the German proclamation was
analogous in their minds to the strew.
ing of mines in the North sea and a
similar announcement by Great Brit
ain that neutral shipping might be i'm,
periled there.
Officials did not view the German
proclamation as threat to destroy
ships II found in the war zone, but as
warning that all ships entered there
at their own risk.
The statement in the German
proclamation that there is in existence
a British order to its fleet permitting
them to use neutral flags, may draw
forth an inquiry from the United
States, although Great Britain has In
connection with recent submarine
raids charged that neutral vessels were
used as bases.
Until specific case of destruction
Of an American ship In the new war
zone develops, it was regarded as
most unlikely that any protest would
be made by the United States, al.
though further inquiries as to the exact
boundaries of the prohibited water are
expected to be made.

long as the war continues and foreign
ers buy our grain freely they expect
that any price declines will be temper
airy The advance Of SIC in May wheat
yesterday was regarded as showing the
inherent strength of the wheat situa-
ton. Also that the wheat passes into
the hands Of European buyers on all
the breaks. Exports continue large, and
stocks are constantly decreasing, the
reduction in the visible supply in jan
uary being about 12,500,00O blu, the
largest during that period on record
Bears are looking at the price and
say that should foreign buying cease
they look for quick break
Corn bears say with No. 3 corn at 611a

unless receipts decrease materially and
foreigners take hold more extensively
Bulls said while the statistical position
is bearish, it is war market, and
speculation is largely making the
price. There are more bulls on oats on
anticipation of steady reduction in
stocks and in the expert buying which
is taking the surplus.
