ward-Provision Average Lower.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-Wheat prices
broke as much as Sh cents a bushel
today, chiefly as result Of declara-
ton of war by Roumania- The pros
pect of a general railway strike in the
United States formed an additional
element in depressing the market but
by far the greater number OF safes
came about owing to the assumed
chance of a quicker conclusion of the
European war 1t also was inferred
that the entrance Of ROumania would
favor the opening Of the Dardanelles
and cause the release OF Russian
wheat TO compete with supplies from
America. Opening prices ranged from
| cent to S1a cents lower, with Sep
TENDER at S1.44 to s1.49, and Deem
Der at s1451s TO s1.53, but subsequent
rallies lifted the market 3 to 312 cents
from the bottom.
Renewed weakness followed. Coun-
try selling specially widened out, and
support lessened from shorts who had
been taking profits. The close was
excited owing to word that lighting
had alrady begun on the Roumanian
frontier. Final prices We're 9as to II Il
cents lower with September at
s1.4O1a to s1.4OA and December at
S1.43A to SLABS.
Corn.
Corn held comparatively steady.
Sellers were not numerous. After
opening Il to y lower, the market
underwent a moderate further sag.

buyers last week did most of the SELL

demonstrated by Kentucky. After
three-quarters Of IA century of inac-
tivity Kentucky began last year to cX-
tend State aid to individual counties
for highway work. Now 1o,G36 of the
$4,000 miles of public roads are sur
faced. The showing Is surpassed by
only eleven other States, those Of
Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Indi.
ana, Ohio, New Jersey, New York,
Connecticut. Vermont, Utah, Califor-
mia and Wisconsin.
A law OF 1914 imposes a tax for
road purposes and authorizes the
State TO aid the counties which
vote bonds for highway construction,
Fourteen counties assumed bonded in
