 WAR LOAN PLAN

New York, Sept. 25-The six mem bers of the joint Anglo-F'rench fnan- cial commission continued today their deliberations over the proposed lbig credit loan to Great Britain and France in the hope of concluding this week their conversations with Amen can fnanciers and of being able to announce not later than Saturday that the loan would be foated.
 The celerity with which negotiations had proceeded toward this goal ap- pafentIy had been checked yester- day. With the commission meeting in continuous sessions from 10 a. m till early today and with their Amerl- can associates declining to comment on the situation. Wall street fell to theorizing as to whether there had been Q hitch in the negotiations and, if so, upon what points.
 At the conclusion of the A hour meeting early this morning, the com nissioners sought rest without an nouncines whether their deliberations would be continued today. Word was sent down that there was nothing whatever to be said in their behalf on any of the somewhat disturbing reports current in Wall street earlier in the day.
 For the first time since the nego- tiations began certain American bank CTS were inclined to doubt whether the loan would. exceed $50os00O, ,0OO- These bankers failed also e0 share the commissions reported opinionthat the big issue would be eagerly taken by American investors at per cent. interest rate. In some quarters there was a, growing demand that the rate be made 5 1-2 per cent.
 Another matter which much was believed to depend on, was whether Russia shall participate in the loan. No authentic word as to this had beer

GEN. STEELE

Brigadier-General Samuel Benfie1d Steele, one of the most distinguished of the officers of the Canadian expe- tionary force, is 66 years old, and has been connected with Dominion military orga anizations for nearly half a century. He was born at Purbr ook, in Somcoe county, Ontario, the fourth son of Captain Steele of the Royal Navy. He joined the Thirty fifth Somcoe Foresters when IT. He served crush the first Rie1 rebellion in 1870, and on his return to Ontario joined the Canadian permanent artillery. Three years later he entered the fla nous Northwest Mounted Police, as sergeant -maj jor, and until the out break of the South African war was an officer of that immortal body of mounted men, perhaps the finest of it's kind the world has ever seen. He was superintendent of the Riders of the Plains during the second Rie1 re- hellfon, 30 years ago, and led the mounted force in the pursuit of Big Bears savages and the Wood Crees. During the KIondyke rush he was commander of the mounted police on the summits of the White and Chill koot passes, and was afterward com mander in the Yukon territory In the Boer war he was the commander of Stratcona's Horse, and afterward he was for several years in command Of the Northern Transvaa1 division. The story of General Steele's brilliant career with the Northwest Mounted Police and with the South Africa Con- stabu1ary reads like romance, and it has been we'll told by the general him. self in a recently published volume. bearing the title of Forty Years in Canada General Steele has twice been decorated by the Imperial gov ernment, and since the European war began has won promotion to his pres ent rank.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.

CHICAGO, Oct. 23-Thousands of car
loads of wheat rushing to market in the
northwest had an unmistakable bearish
effect today on spectators here. AS a
result prices although steady at the
close were 1Ad1Ac to 22sc net lower,
with December at 9l%c and May at $l.0O12.
Corn showed setback of half cent TO
1hc and oats off lsghc TO sc. In provi-
sions the outcome varies from 7ik6lOc
decline to a rise of sc.
Accute weakness in the price of wheat
developed after announcement that ar
rivals in Winnipeg Monday would aggre-
gate 4,S0O cars The huge estimate was
accompanied by word that farmers in the
Canadian northwest were piling wheat
on the prairies owing TO elevators hav-
ing been filled and because of the inn
possibility of getting cars enough to dis
pose promptly of the surplus Immense
receipts for Minneapolis and Duluth next
in the spring crop belt and the continued
liberal movement to the chief terminals
there had caused the market TO sag
somewhat as soon as trading began. A
brief rally ensued on account of strength
at Liverpool and in consequence of
weakened evening up transactions here,
but then the market plunged downward
in good earnest.
Lowest prices of the week were touched
In the wheat pit just before the end of
the session. Extreme declines. as COM
pared with the high point reached on
October II. ranged about 101sc to 12c a
bushel.
Corn finally gave way with wheat, and
under the Influence of enlarged country
offerings At first however, the market
tended to advance owing to hope of sales
for exports. Much the some conditions
ruled in the oats trade as in corn. One
Of the leading elevator companies was
conspicuous on the selling side.
Provisions manifest no significant
change, but rather favored buyers toward
the close. The volume of business was
light, and especially in the options prior

France Will Grant
United States More
Rights After War

Correspondence OF the Associated Press)
PARIS. Oct ls.-Hope is expressed in
commercial circles OF Paris that after
the war France will see its way to
granting the United states most-favored-
nation rights. Nothing "An be done In
this direction during the war, but the
possibility of action later is under con-
sideration by French fiscal authorities.
At present complaints by the two coun-
tries against each others tariff systems
are mutual. French exporters assert that
the United States tariff unfairly re-
stricts their American market. and Amer
lean merchants object 10 the enforce ment

As answer to the French assertion II
is pointed out that notwithstanding the
alleged high American duties. French
export trade TO America largely and
steadily increased from the opening of
the century to the year 1913. except dur
ing 1903, year OF great financial trouble

trade with America is mostly In articles

easily bear the higher prices caused by
the duty.

much more would It not have increased

That the increase would have occurred
is not considered by American authori-
ties as proved. They look for the ex-
pansion OF French trade with America
and particularly for successful French
rivalry with Germany. In another d.
