RUSSIAN WHEAT
HELD FOR TINE
Opening DardaneIIeS viii Re-
lease Big Crop But This
Seems Remote.
BY Joseph F. Pritchard.

CHICAGO. Oct. 16.-With the ap-
proach Of winter and heavy ice in the
north OF Russia, the surplus wheat
OF that country will remain either
at Black sea ports or on the farms
for the time being. The Dardanelles
seem to be impenetrable and cable
advices say that the allies are to
cease attacks on the forts for the
time being. Russia shipped 9bO,OOO
bushel OF wheat 20 France this week
via the northern route, but this was
the last shipment this year. The al
lies have made a strenuous fight TO
force the Dardanelle straits which If
successful would release many mill
lions of business Of Russian wheat.
The opening OF the Dardanelles to
commercial shipping would mean a
heavy break in the price of wheat IN
this country and conditions there Will
be watched closely.
Considerable uneasiness is said TO
exist in England because of the small
supplies of wheat held there, cou-
pied with the fact that millers are
absorbing every pound of grain to
arrive. The position of wheat and
flour there was never SO strong as at
present. Considerable stress is placed
upon the sharp falling off in the
Argentine exports this week. the total
being only 10000 bushels, compared
with 100000 bushels last week and
so. 900 bushels last year.
There was a great deal Of specula
ton here and in the northwest as to
TIE probable increase in the receipts
Of wheat. Minneapolis and Duluth
received SCI cars Friday and larger
receipts are expected Saturday and
Monday. The railroads passing
through the spring wheat fields Of
the four northwestern states, will, 1t
is stated, run special grain trains sun
day and a heavy movement is looked
for in consequence. Wheat at Chi
cago ruled quite irregular Friday with
the price changes sharp and cOntinu-

reported 500, 900 bushels of oats taken
for export.

WHAT BRAOSTREET'S
HAS TO SAY TODAY

NEW Y DIRK. oct. 16.--Bradstreet' s
Trade Review Saturday says:
Trade expands at a speedier pace
and reports especially from the east
ern half OF the country are more sat
isfactory than for three years past.
Activity in industrials. many of which
are sold far ahead, Is accompanied
by sitter commodity prices. broader
distribution by JObbers, good sales by
retail dealers. enlarged road orders,
increased railway traffic. improved
comm ercial demand for money, Pile
thOric supplies OF funds. largely in
creased bank clearings. better collec-
tons and reports that many houses
have increased their travelling forces.
Stocks OF staple wearing apparel at
practically all points are light, the re-
suit OF long practiced conservative
buying and the uplift IN trade seems
to have developed a rush 10 cover
requirements. Most OF the goods are
wanted Immediately, thus crowding
manufacturers.
The New England. the middle
states the central western. the south
ern and southwestern sections. all join
in the chorus OF good reports, mani
festations In those zones being the best
witnessed since October. 1912. or just
as the first Balkan war began.
War orders making for large pay
rolls, high quotations for cotton and
its products and profitable prices for
wheat. provide the vehicles for speed
Ter movements in the sections just
named
Labor conditions are better than
for yea 8 past.
"Jl' seed commands record prices,
tJp qt ,tations received, figured on a
pound basis exceeding the price OF
wheat. It is true. however. there are
some more or less discordant notes,
rainy weather at the northwest having
retarded marketing of grain, checked
fall buying and reduced collections
while reports from the Pacific north
west. barring the mining districts,
suggest that depression in lumber still
hangs over that territory but it is
conceded that stocks Of general mer-
chandise are low. Things TO eat and
to wear lead in point OF activity, but
at the same time coal mining is more
active and southern lumber markets
continue to exhibit Improvements. Car
shortages are predicted and indeed,
have arrived in some sections.

STOCKS CLOSE
WITH NET LOSSES
Judges Expect to See Further
Easing Off Due to Recent
Big Advances.

NEW YORK. oct. 16.-Stocks dis
played a reactiOnary tendency Friday
and for the most part closed with
small net losses for the session, which
was relatively quiet less than 100000
shares changing hands. Because or
the recent precipitate advance, good
judges expect 10 see a further easing
of in quotations Europe continued

some larger operators. particularly
Joe Manning. were reported as sell
ers all around the room.
A steady tone was displayed at the
opening. over night price changes be-
ing unimportant After the first 10
minutes, however. a better tone de-
veloped and quotations rallied, some
touching new high prices, particular

hour stocks were supplied and prices
eased of. While the selling was not
urgent. offerings were steady and
enough 10 cause a recession 70 the
days previous low mark where the
market closed. The fact that the list
became dull on all recessiOns was con-
sidered a healthy sign.
Standard railroad shares were rela-
lively strong and. considering their
recent sharp advance, acted very Wen.
in the opinion Of conservative brok-
OF earnings coming TO hand, the pres
ent dividends being paid by the high
grade issues seem assured and .or this
reason many commission houses are
urging the purchase Of rails.
Westinghouse Electric was strong
and nearly two points higher on re-
ports that the company had received
a new shrapnel order for $llOOO,O 600.
Copper shares were heavy owing to
n reduction in the price Of copper
metal from 1S IA 20 Is cents a pound.
Important people IN the coppe~ bust
ness. however, are confident OF the
future and believe that a conclusion
OF the war would result in an in
creased demand for the red metal and
an advance in prices.
As the price Of copper advances
production will naturally tend to In.
crease and many new companies Will
come into the field as larger pro-
ducers. In this connection the Sc
curities OF the Chile Copper Co. are
being favorably considered. Accord
ing TO present plans, this company
Will be producing at the rate of abOuC
100 600, 900 pounds of copper a year
by the latter part OF this year and
ut the rate OF 120, 900, 600 pounds early
next year. This latter output will
represent the capacity OF the first TO-
900 tons unit OF the cOmpanys plant
but plans recommend an increase in
units up TO $4,000 tons.
Declaration of an initial quarterly
dividend OF one per cent on Third
Avenue failed to cause any advance
in the stock.
