CHICAGO, March 81. = Notwith-
standing indications that considerable
export business was being done under
cover, bears ruled wheat today the
greater part of the time. Intervention
by Italy and other heretofore neutral
powers seemed to have approached
little closer, and the market finished
nervous at hc to 1hc net decline.
Other staples, too, all showed losses
corn Sc to 7a@kc, oats shade to
l Nc, and provisions &c to 15c.
1t was authoritatively announced
that substantial sales OF wheat for ex-
port. either cash or futures, and al
most entirely spring wheat, had been
going on for number of days back,
and was again in progress today.
This information had much to do with
a strong rally after an early setback
that was due chiefly to lower prices
at Liverpool. The advance. however.
brought out increased selling, which
seemed to hinge for the most part on
the character of cable advices rela.
tive to impending probable action by
Balkan states and by Italy.

WORST EFFECTS OF WAR
HAS BEEN DISCOUNTED
The Outlook for 1915 is Unqres-
tionably Becoming More Hope
ful as Time Rolls On.
New York. Jan. 3, 1915.

A new era began in 1914. For
years the European atmosphere had
been overcharged with intense po-
litical, commercial and social un-
rest, both international and domes-
tic. On july 30th the storm broke
with a violence and suddenness To-
tally unexpected, save by the select
few; and for the last five months
il has completely dominated COM
mercial affairs at homo and abroad.
The first effects OF the shock have
peen safely passed, and The world S
commerce has finally adjusted itself
10 a war basis with marvellous rap
idty. But the worst effects of the
struggle are by no means over and
for years to come the world will
have to deal with the consequences
Of this unprecedented struggle, in
volying the governments of nearly
9O0,0O0,000 of population and An
international trade of about S24,~
600, 1000.
At home it has been a year Of
steady recession and numerous diff
culties. During the first six months
business interests were harasscd by
the Mexican problem and hostile
political activities. The antitrust
and anti-railroad camDaigns were
particularly virulcnt previous to the
elections; while the investigation
mania. which had more than any
thing else to do with bringing on
acute business depression, wa
pushed to extremes. The pro
longed unwillingness of the Inter
state Commerce Commission tc
grant any further concessions tC
the railroads also contributed ver'
materially to impair confidence. So
too did the constant intrusion OF
the state into business affairs; es
pecialy the trend toward govern
ment ownership, which has rem
dered private enterprise particularly
timid in those directions. Toward
midsummer, however, a change 70,
the better began to develop in homo
affairs. The Mexican problem grew
less threatening. Public opinion be-
gan to show its diSaprroval of un-
necessary Political ar ogonism to
legitimate business; and the crop
outlook became exceediH@ly encour-
aging. But by far the most iwpGr
tant factor in the restoration Q
confidence was the passage of the
Federal Reserve Banking Act. This
was unquestionably the croWning
event of the year in President Viii
sons administration, and one on
which he could easily rest content
with well-doing. The new bill is
probably as near being satisfactory
as such a piece of legislation could
be at the start

1t was the opinion Of many that
few Cairo people have ever heard
scch a clear, logical persuasive ar
gumeut in favor of tie religion of
Nazareth, as they heard from the
lips Of Minakuchi in a thirty minute
presentation of his hopes and be-
liefs based on years of stUdinus re-
search into histories of religions of
sll the ages. The japanese orator
convinced his hearers that he be-
lieyed in the pre-emincnce of Jesus
and was not lacking in reasons for
his beliefs.
The ideas he presented were high
and had high sources. He dis
played perfect mastery of rhetoric
and history and his vocabulary, IT,
though his delivery developed much
Of the oriental accent was appar-
emily all embracing.
"Christiantv is Christ" said the
speaker Christ, and Christ alone,
meets the Intellectual and spiritual
needs of all mankind. He is not a
logic, not a provincial Cad, but a
universal savior. and all races re-
quire a prophet and a savior"

lures Tuesday. one in the afternoon
