The city was divided for this

other divisions, with volunteer

division assigned to him and noting
on blanks, prepared for the purpose,
the names OF all the dwellers in each
house and their religious status.

there had been a check. the American
market has advanced the price again,
solely on the prospect that the fleet
will not get through as easily as was

So. long as that check is sustained

Black sea points or tributary thereto
there are from 150, 1000, 600 bushels up

entirely a, matter of conjecture. All
that is definitely known is that Russia
raises close to 1000, O00,0 900 bushels OF
wheat a year.
In 1913 Russia raised $685., 06C

Effect ON
GRAIN TRADE
What Opening of Dardanelles
Means to Markets Of the
" . World. s.

Much is being said these days about
the opening of the Dardanelles and it's
effect upon the grain markets OF the
world; but most Of the discussion is
conducted in technical terms, which,
to the layman, Is about as clear as San.
skirt.
AS a matters Of fact the opening of
the Dardanelles will have no other
effect than the application Of the old
and time-honored law Of supply and
demand.
With the Dardanelles closed, the
crop of Russian grain, raised during
1914, is choked up on Black sea shores
or in the interior, with nc outlet, and
therefore American grain-both North
and South ~continents-is the chief
available supply for the world; conse-
~Qiently the market price is higher be-
cause the demand is great and the
supply small.
With the Dardanelles open, the
transportation of Russian wheat on the
Black sea shores, being unrestricted
except as to the availability Of bot
toms to carry it, the supply Of grain
to the world at large is going to be
greater, and will more nearly-or, pos
sibly completely-meet the demand;
therefore the price Of grain will drop.
War Bottles Wheat.
Ever since Germany declared wal
on Russia last August, and especially
ever since Turkey got into the fight
on the side o fthe kaiser, the straits
connecting the Black sea with the Sea
of Marmors. AID the latter with the
Aegean sea, an arm of the Mediter-
ranean, have been closed. Consequent
ly Russian grain, which always seeks
an outlet through the Dardanelles has
been bottled up, and the resources OF
the Aemrican market were all that
could be called upon for supplies.

prices.
However, since the British and
French warships have been endeavor'

since that is the greatest product OF
Russia, has weakened under the as
saults of the warships as much or more
than have the forts in the straits. AS

RErIREs FROM CONGRESS

READING; Fluffy Notes.

Washington, March \ 1O.-victor
Murdoch Of Kansas, who retired from
congress on March 4. is on his way
back home today, and this week will
begin the job Of editing his Wichita
paper, the Eagle.
MIR. Murdock, after IL years in con-
gress, is bullying with ideas on how
to run a newspaper. He intends to
introduce What he describes as sane
and adjectiveless socisty page"
He is going to be a'"bear" on Wash

that a man can read at arms length.
He will also run a Saturday review Of
the stories and articles in the weekly
and monthly periodical press.
To Insist 81 Brevity.
Editcr Murdoch will. insist on brew
ivy in editoria1 expression.
If Mr.. tMurd0ck has his way about
it, he says, there win be no more
items in the Wichita Eagle reading
like this: @'t 't'f
"The beautiful and charming Mrs.

lightful dinner party last evening to

and trailing '~evergreens.'
This item, appearing as Mr.. Muir

"NLrs. Wilberforce Dustin-Eocks en-

Mr.. Murdoch has another idea. A

That He Will Be Set Aside as d

holders meeting on T~uesday-and
this is considered a certainty in fin
ancial circles-the fight begun 10y f.
H. Hartman in 1905, and continued
by Kahn, who was Harrinlan's side
partner, will have attained it's object,
the complete elimination of Gould as
a controlling factor in railway at
fairs.
The directors named by Kahn, it is
said, incluLe only n representative
of the Gould interests. This is Geo,
j.. Gould's bro,her-in-law, Finley. J.
Shepard, who married Miss Helen
Gould.
1T was ten years ago that George J.
Gouli startled Wall street Ly the an
noulcement that he intended to ex-
tend the Denver & Rio Grande, the
Missouri Paciic's western arm, to the
Pacific coast through soutssrn Pa
ciic's territory, and then push the
Wabash eastward to the Atlantic.
Knew Fight Was On
Immediately after that announce
ment was made Gould was dropped
from the directorate Of Union Paci-
fic, a position he had inherited from
his father. Wall stree: knew then
there was a fight on between the

900 bushels of wheat.
The black mold belt which extends
most fertile as we'll of the most
extensive arabic plains on the globe.
1t owes it's name to a layer of blacklist
humus varying in thickness on the
average from one foot and a half to
five feet.
This black mold belt stretches in
one long band across the whole of
European Russia. Notwithstanding it's
faulty cultivation, this region, like the
Mississippi valley, is one of the worlds
immense s%torehouses OF grain.
TO the south of the black mold belt
and bordering the southern seas are
the steppes. The steppes with produc-
tive soil resemble the black mold fields
and are full of rich promise;, in other
places they are made up of sand, stone
and salt, and apparently will eve be
unfit for producing good crops.
Other Obstacles.
In connection with this. and with
the opening of the Dardanelles, the
bull" faction of the market points
out that even with the opening, the
problem of getting the wheat to the
world at large will not be solved. They
claim that the movement will be hin.
dered because of the scarcity of bot
toms to carry it, and also there is the
risk Of capture at sea by hostile ves
sells, the danger of mines and of sub.
martens; and that there is a host of
things which will initiate against Civ.
ing the Russian crop untrammeled
