CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO. September 2-Confdence
that a settlement of the railway strike
would be effected led to a decided up
turn today in the price of wheat The
close was strong at the highest level
of the session. a net advance of 2H
60 An. with December at l47A to 14s
and May at l4sk to 149ts- Other
leading staples. too, all showed gains
visions 15 to so.
Disappearance of anxiety over the
chance that the eight-hour bill might
be defeated was evident from the out
set in the wheat market. All pressure
10 sell swas absent and instead signs
developed that foreign demand had
again become urgent Indeed. cash
premiums paid by exporters were the
highest of any time this season No
tees Of general nulllicat ton of rail-
way embargoes seemed to be chiefly
responsible for the activity of for
eigners, but there was also wide
spread impression that the opening of
the DardaneI1es did not promise to
be an event sufficiently Immediate to
interfere at present with the upward
tendency of prices. Although at in
tervals during the day rea'iz'np nv
holders on liberal scale. the ensuing
downturns in prices proved brief and
were invariably succeeded by more
decided upward swings
In addition TO the fact that shin
ping business had already Improved
the coming week. the presence of frost
in Canada tended also to give an ad-
vantage to the bulls. Reno-ts were
at hand. TO that but little rlowine
had been done so far in Oklahoma and

underwent a radical change
Corn. like wheat showed broad

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md, September o.
That Montgomery county numbered
among its "varmints" such an animal as
wild scat was not suspected until
County Surveyor Ernest H. Offutt
proved 1t last night by catching one in
a steel trap on his farm near Dawson
Vile.
For several weeks Mr.. Offutt's chick
ems had been disappearing. one or two
a night. until his supply was depleted
to the extent of fifty or more. He final
ly became convinced that an animal of
some sort was responsible, SO last even
ing he set number of steel traps about
his chicken house. About the middle of
the night he was awakened by a COM
motion in the vicinity of the building.
and upon making an investigation
found a big wild cat, making desperate
efforts to escape from one of the traps.
AS Mr.. Offutt approached the animal ex-
hibited much viciousness and tried hard
to get at him. A load from Mr.. Offutt's
shotgun ended the animals existence.
The animal was about twice the size of
the ordinary domestic cat and was very
prettily marked.

NEW YORK, September 2.-Through-
out all the discussion of railway and
labor problems at Washington during
the past weeks Wall street has main
tanned an attitude of confidence in the
ability of the conferees to arrive at
satisfactory basis of settlement. During
all the accumulation of unfavorable re-
ports and rumors, and at times when
railroad peace seemed most improbable
of accomplishment, the stock market
never for a moment lost its sense Of Sc
curity, and any bear drive against the
railroad shares was quickly nipped in
the bud.
The larger banks and brokerage
houses have kept very close eye upon
the situation. and, being constantly in
touch with daily and hourly develop
ments at Washington, have been in an
excellent position to guide the move
ments of the market.

No Evidence of Liquidation.

Timid stock traders, who have lived
in constant terror of an abrupt downfall
Of security prices, have been agreeably
surprised to find no evidence Of stock
liquidation inspired by fear of a strike.
Big operators are reported to be pre-
pared to buy up every share of railroad
stock that is offered at a sacrifice.
Meanwhile. reports of earnings Whlch
nave recently been made public have
oeen very satisfactory, the principal
mes being Canadian Pacific, Union
Pacific and Pennsylvania. The net earn
ings of the Canadian Pacific railway for
the past year ended June 80 last were
$49, 225920, according to the road an
nual financial statement. mailed to
the shareholders. The gross earnings
were s1294slss5, of which approx
mately $s0255, 900 went for operating
expenses. The directors announced that
in consequence of the extraordinary
conditions created by the present war
it was considered advisable to postpone
the effective date of the agreement en-
tered into" between the road ana the
Milan Steamship Company and the
Canadian Pacific Ocean Services. Ltd
for acquisition by the last-named com
pany of the capital stock of the Allan
line now held by the railroad.
1t was stated that the ships will, how
ever. be operated by the Canadian
Pacific Ocean Services, Ltd. The Union
Pacific system, in its financial state
nent for July, showed an increase in
operating revenue of more than 1890
900, while there was an increase in
operating income. after allowing for
axes, of over $780, For the same
period the Southern railway reported
an increase in gross earnings of $751;
900. although net earnings over ex-
penses and taxes showed a decrease OF
over $4,000. The Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company announced that the quar-
terly dividend was paid on August
81 to 90.172 stockholders. The May divi-
dend was paid to 94,169 Stockholders

All other considerations and develop-

which approached its crisis Just before
the adoption of the eight-hour law by the
lower hover of Congress. Wall street
entered upon its double holiday in the
firm belief as indicated by the strength
of the market that the measure would
pass the Senate and become law in time
to avert the threatened strike.
In the opinion Of conservative dnan-
ciers. 1t is too soon to express more than
a general opinion as to the effect of this
important legislation upon the value Of
securities. The economic and other prob
lens rising out of the situation have been
carefully weighed. but these may not de-
ve1op for many months. possibly until the
European war comes to an end.
Rails Under Restraint.
Rails were under more or less re-
straint in the stock market though
coming forward later with other in
vestment shares. The trend of Specula-
ton. which lacked the volume and
scope Of the preceding week. was clear
y toward industrials and shipping is
sues. Mercantile Marines took first
place. not only by reason of their large
overturn. but because of their new
maximums as well.
Metal shares also improved percept-
ibly. the increased and extra dividends
being followed by the high records of
Inspiration Copper and some of the
zinc issues. Automobile issues moved
contrarily most of the time, Studebaker
and Willys-Overland being heavy to
weak, while the accessories were de-
cidedly strong.
L. s. Steel came within II of it's rec
ord quotation Of last week, selling
couiva lent to 9oL, minus it's regular
and extra dividends of 2A per cent. and
other industrials of the same class
manifested a higher tendency.
International financial conditions
found their only reflection in the new
low quotation of 69A for German re-
aitssr -es. with a steady recovery in
the sliue of rubles.

Bullish Market Factor.

Stock exchange authorities have ad-
vanced the opinion that rigid adher-
ence to the principles of arbitration
will be construed as bullish factor
by the holders of railroad securities
throughout the country. Certainly no
railroad security will be benefited by
an absolute surrender to a demand for
payment of a ten-hour day for eight
hours' work and the consequent chance
of obtaining less than eight hours real
work from employees who have but their
own personal axes to grind. More
over should the demands of 100000 men
be recognized on the scale of eight
hours as a basic factor, the same argu-
ment must necessarily hold good for the
more than 100000 other employees.
who, while not SO rigidly organized, are
as necessary to the maintenance of the
public service.
In the event of strike of such gigan-
tic proportions as was threatened, there
IS no question to the market course
Of the hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of railroad securities throughout
the country. However. since railroad
shares are not so highly speculative as
the war stocks" or the newer indus
.rials, but are purchased with an eye to
permanent dividend returns, there Will
be less opportunity for the professionals
| to sell them heavily in the hope of in
timida ting unwary investors. The stock
market has persstently disbelieved
every report circulated about the dark
side of the railroad labor controversy.
