TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago. Dec. 5.-wHEAT-Dear money
and continued transportation troubles gave
an advantage today to the bears in wheat
Contentious that large clearances at the
seabord during the rest of this month
would clear up railway congestion did not
seem to make much impression especially
as war risk rates on the ocean had risen
about as high for neutral boats as for bel
ligerents- On the other hand, flat .asser-
lions that President Wilson would veto
any embargo legislation acted somewhat
as an Offset. Opening prices, which ranged
from nc off to 1ac advance with May at
S1.72 hto $1.13 and July at S1.411, were
followed by moderate upturns, but then
a decided general set back.
The close was strong, 35sc to 43sc net
higher with May at $1.76ss to S1765s and
July at $1.46 to S1.461s.
CORN-Corn sympathized with the weak
mes of wheat. About the only demand was
from shorts who were in a position to TAX
profits. After opening unchanged to &c
higher, the market hardened a trifle and
then underwent a sag all around.
The close was strong at 21sc to 2Ac net
advance.
OATSIHeaviness developed trifle in
oats as well as In other cereals. On the
downturn, however, elevator concerns took
to the buying side
PROyISIONS-Higher quotation on
hogs tended to lift provisions. Trade was
light.

One Seriously
Injured IN the
SAL. Smash
81 AssocrATEn pRrss.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 1S.--Of the
dozen victims of yesterdays Seaboard
Air Line wreck who were brought to
Richmond hospitals for treatment, it
is believed today that William A..
Martin, age Il, president of the Houl-
ton Trust Company, Houlton, Me-, is
the most seriously injured.
Mr.. Martin is in Grace hospital.
He suffered injuries to his back, an
X-ray examination showed that his
breastbone was fractured, his head
was lacerated and he was severely
bruised all over. Although his in
juries are serious, the doctors are
confident he win recover.
The other injured are recovering
normally. The S. A. L. track is clear
and railroad business is proceeding
as usual.

CRUISER COLUMBIA
ARRIVES AND IS At
THE NAVAL STATION
FINE NAVAL VESSEL REACHES
PENSACOLA FEW DAYS BE-
FORE EXPECTED, COMING FOR
a LENGTHY STAY HERE.

Arriving few days before she was
expected, the cruiser Columbia, with
Commander Yates Stirling in COM
M I'd, reached port yesterday morn
ing, coming into the bay and taking
an anchorage opposite the cruiser
North Carolina.
The Columbia put in at Key West
last Saturday and it was then stated,
upon the strength of advices here,
that the fine ship would remain a
week there. Therefore there was some
little surprise when the Columbia
showed up off the bar, and there was
no delay in her coming inside the
bay, where, 1t is stated, she will re-
main for more than month.
Some local interest attaches to the
arrival and presence of this vessel
from the fact that Lieutenant Edward
Fl. Loftin, brother of County Solici-
tin, is aboard. Yesterday afternoon,
shortly after the arrival of the
cruiser, Lieut.. Loftin came up to the
city, meeting his sisters and brother,
and his wife, who arrived here few
days ago. Many friends of Lieut..
Loftin hardly recognized him yester-
day as he came to Pensacola, hardly
connecting the young naval officer
with the youth who left here some
years ago to enter the naval academy,
and who is now an officer in the
United States navy.

to draw upon those at Constantinople
for which all possible routes towards
Erzerum are long and arduous. The
most practicable is by railway to
Urfa, whence it would be necessary
to march overland moRe than 200
miles. The Black sea route to Ire
bizond has become impracticable be
cause of the Russian domination of
the Black sea littoral.
Few forecasts are made as to the
future of Russian operations beyond
Erzerum, but pursuit of the Turks,
who are retreating in bad order ac-
cording to reports, is assumed to be
vigorously under way and Sivas is re-
garded as the next probable objec-
tive Of the Russian armies.
The capture of Erzerum has had
the effect of making more secure the
Russians position along the Black sea
coast and those of the southern flank
at Alashgerd, while the possibility Of
a successful Russian thrust towards
the British expeditionary force in
Mesapotamia SENS to be increasing.
The victory is taken by the Russian
military authorities as the first sig
nal token Of successful cooperative
action among the allies. This belief
is expressed in interviews by diplo-
mats of the allied powers in Petro-
grad.
Although the official bulletin men
tons seventy guns captured, it is
known that the fortress contained 300
new pattern Krupp heavy guns, be-
sides an equal number of older pat
tern. 1t is assumed these were aban-
doned, and from the precipitate ma
ture Of the evacuation it. is not be-
heved the Turks took time to serious
ly disable them.

DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food Is Not Suited.


When Nature gives her signal that
something is wrong it is ant to be
with the food. The old Dame is al
ways faithful and one should act at
once.
To put off the change is to risk
that which may be irreparable. An
Arizona man says:
@For years could not safely eat
any breakfast. I tried various kinds
OF breakfast food, but they were all
soft, starchy messes which gave me
distressing headaches. I drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterward.
A friend of mine persuaded me to
quit coffee and the starchy breakfast
foods, and use Postum and Grape
Nuts instead. / shall never regret
taking his advice.
''The change it worked in me is
wonderful. now have no more of
the distressing sensations in my stom-
ach after eating, and I don't have
headaches. I have gained II pounds
in weight and feel better in every
way.
"Grape-Nuts makes delicious as
well as a nutritious dish; and I find
that Postum agrees perfectly-never
produces dyspepsia's symptoms"
There's Reason" Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true. and full of human
interest.
