Change in British Plans Relieves Panic
Among American Bakers.
COMMANDER CANADIAN CROP
Corn Becomes Big Sensation CAST
Bids Reach 81 Per Bushel
Argentine Drouth Cause.

Chicago.-While December wheat
was surging up to $1.711a Saturday on
the Chicago Board of Trade and the
bakers were considering "seven-cent
bread or failure" the British govern
ment took action which, it is believed,
will have bearish effect.
It notified the Raymond Pynchon
company, stock brokers, with offices
in London and Chicago, to accept no
more buying orders Of grain or wheat
In the United States, and 1t comman-
deered all the wheat now stored in
Canada and in transit from Canada
which is owned by British grain men.
Only about 25 per cent Of the Canadi-
an crop of last year is in the hands
of the farmers, it is said.
Wheat for the second time threat
ened to reach the mark Of $1.85 set in
'98 when "Joe" Letter cornered the
market. With the exception of that
figure, it is said to be the highest
price since the Civil War. December
wheat ranged from $1.69k to $1.71A,
and reached the high price inside five
minutes, though later 1t fell to $1.70A.
May wheat opened around $1.69h and
sold up to $1.71% and then dropped
to $1701s. If the bull movement does.
not stop, the bread makers say, it
means "Seven cents loaf or fail"
The big sensation on the board,
however, was in corn, which advanced
from 21a to cents bushel. Weather
conditions were blamed for the corn
advance. The storm that fell upon
Chicago extended generally over the
corn belt, delaying harvesting and
damaging the grain.
Cash corn sold at 81 a bushel for
No. 2 yellow, equaling the high price
reached in 1892.
A world of wheat was sold on the
advance by longs, who had profits, but
the buying was even greater. The
seriousness of the world shortage in
wheat is daily becoming more potent
and the situation more aggravated by
the unfayorable weather in Argentina.
Crop advices from the latter country
were more alarming as drought con-
tinues. Wet weather and freezing
temperatures have combined to delay
the threshing and movement of wheat
in the spring wheat country.
With this prospect ahead of them,
Chicago bakers, having failed to get
an audience with President Wilson
when he was in Chicago, prepared to
appeal to their congressman for ac-
ton. An embargo, or at least regula-
ton of export of wheat TO the warning
nations of Europe, according to B. H.
Dahlheimer, president of the Master
Do1r 10 nffnn,
tive solution of the bread situation.

Car Shortage Reaches 2l86
in State of Oregon

Salem = The car shortage on the
Portland division of the Southern Pa
cifc Wednesday reached 21S6, new
record, and indications that it will
continue to mount are given in reports
which have been received by the Ore
gon Public service commission. The
company reported that it had orders on
file for 2557 freight cars and only 371
empty cars available for loading.
Residents in Tillamook county who
own stock are threatened with serious
consequences because of their inability
to obtain hay, Large amounts of hay
are shipped annually to Tillamook.
This year only a few cars are available
and shortage in hay has resulted.
The Public Service commission re-
ceived a vigorous complaint from
Rosenberg Borthers, of Tillamook,
asking for relief. They assert that
they annually ship in from 100 to $50
cars of hay from the Willamette valley
and store it in their warehouses. This
season they declare they have been
getting only one car every 10 days,
where they need from one to three a
day. With no hay stored, the Tilla-
nook people foresee serious situa-
tion next winter, when it will be inn
possible to ship in because of the un-
certain railway connections at that
time of the year.

British Seize Neutral Steamer in
Neutral Waters and Remove Mail

Washington, D. c. = The Dutch
steamer Arakan, bound from a Dutch
port in Borneo to Manila, was held up
on the high seas August 30 by a Brit
ish war vessel and all her mail was
taken off, according to advices reach
ing Washington. No official explana-
tion has reached the state department,
and an inquiry may be made as to why
q neutral vessel, bound from one neu-
trail port to another and far removed
from the war zone, was submitted to
such treatment.
Great Britain some time ago ex-
tended her censorship to vessels ply
ing in the Far East, but so far as is
known never before has seized mail
outside British waters or on such a
short local voyage. Several instances
of seizures in Far Eastern waters, in
cluding the Chinese Prince and the
Kafue cases, provoked such opposition
here that the British foreign office
finally made informal expressions of
regret and agreed to change the policy.

GREAT INFLUX OF GOLD PROMOTES
ExTRAvAGANCf BY AMERICAN PEOPLE

Chicago-There is marked contrast
between the tendency of the American
people and those of the Old World at
this time in the matter of thrift. In
America business has been SO active
and profits in many instances SO large
that the American people appear to be
spending money in reckless manner
and to be indulging in extravagances,
which, few years ago, would have
spelled ruin.
The whole world is spending money
recklessly, but across the Atlantic the
expenditures are confined chiefly to
governmental agencies, while the peo-
pie are paying the bills. 1t is this
supply of money that has forced in
vestors to dig deep into their strong
boxes and bring forth certificates of
American investment-bearing dates of
quarter century or more ago.

this country, following the enormous
inpouring of foreign trade, together

Railroads Are Helpless.

Washington, d. C.-The Interstate
Commerce commission made public
Monday report of its inspectors on
the car famine in Nebraska, saying
that the railroads are furnishing all
the cars they can supply to meet an
unprecedented demand, but that it is
impossible for them to furnish a suffi-
cient number under the circumstances.
The only way the situation can be i'm
proved is to provide considerable loco
motive and car equipment and to in
crease the capacity of railroad facili-
ties by several hundred per cent.

Cananza Thought Preparing TO
Flee; Family Already in U. 5.

Washington, D. C. - Charges that
General Carranza is preparing to leave
Mexico were being freely made by his
political opponents in Mexico Wednes-
day. They are based on his decision
to leave his capital for Queretaro, and
the fact that Mrs. Carranza already
has crossed the border into the United
States, accompanied by the wife of her
husbands war minister and chief sup
porter, General Obregon.
Information to this effect is reach
ing officials here from various reliable
sources. So far nothing tangible tend
ing to support the story has come
through official channels. 1t is known,
however, that many officials here be-
lieve General Carranza has committed
political blunder. at least, if he is
not in fact preparing for flight, by
permitting his family to leave Mexico
just at this time.
The purpose of the visit of Mrs.
Carranza and Mrs. Obregon, as ex-
planned at the Mexican embassy, is fol
tour of the United States. Word Of
the arrival at the border also of Mrs.
Jacinto Trevino, wife of the military
commander of Chihuahua state, had
not been received. 1t was pointed
out, however, that Trevino has been
among Carranza's staunchest support
ers and if the first chief believed his
hold on the political situation was
weakening, Trevino probably would be
warned, in order that he might also
place his family in safety.
The State department had not re-
ceived word that Generals Carranza
and Obregon had left Mexico City for
Queretaro. Previous advises, how
ever, said that the first chief could go
to that place in connection with the
meeting of the constitutional conven-
tion, for which delegates were elected
last week. This is the only explana-
tion obtainable here for Carranza's de-
parture.

shed, but its cutting would not affect
the Coos Bay Water company's supply,
since the reservoir is above the place
where it is proposed to cut.

Henry Baker, the special CONNER
cial attache of the American legation
at Petrograd, gives the information
that little or no gold or silver is circu-

There is a tendency abroad, how
ever, to conserve resources, while the
tendency in America is to be more
lavish in expenditures.
There is an element of thrift among
the more conservative business men.
Many large corporations have been

REBELS SHOOT DOWN TWO U. S.
OFFICERS IN San DOMINGO

Santo Domingo-In an engagement
between American troops and rebel
forces Tuesday, General Ramon Ba-
tista was killed. Several Americans
also. are reported killed, including two
officers, and one American officer
wounded.
The names Of the American officers
killed are given as Captains William
Low and Atwood. Lieutenant Morri-
son was wounded.
The American commander attempt
ing ed to arrest General Batista, and
the latter ordered an attack on the
American forces. Fighting continued
for considerable time, but the rebels
were eventually defeated.
The engagement took place opposite
Santo Domingo City and caused a
panic in the capital. Reinforcements
were sent there to aid American troops
in maintaining order. The number of
rebels killed and wounded in the fight
are at present unknown.
Washington, D. c. - No report on
the fight in Santo Domingo had reached
the Navy department Tuesday night,
but officials assumed that the latest
outbreak was the work of small band
Of rebels who recently revolted from
the Dominican army, and that it did
not presage any general attempt at
disorder.
Last reports from the island told of
comparative quiet throughout the re-
public, where the American marine
forces are busy organizing the native
constabulary, which is to place the
country under the direction of Ameri-
can officers.
