CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Drouth Advices from Argentina Causes
Further Rise In Wheat.

Chicago. Oct. 30--Possibilities OF renewed
tension between Germany and the United
states regarding submarine warfare, did a
good deal today to handicap tho bulls in
wheat. Largely as a result. the market
closed unsettled at 19Oh to 1s0x for De.
eember and 1877 to 1s7h for May. with
tho market as whole " of to Y up as
compared with Saturdays finish. Corn
showed net loss OF IN to az and oats of
v to v. In provisions the outcome ranged
from s6 decline to a rise Of ten cent.
Wheat at first displayed a decided tend
ency to advance, Influenced by increased
drouth damage In Argentina and by word
that owing to continued hot, dry weather,
the Rosario market was excited and is
cents higher. Besides, world shipments of
the week was before requirements. The
fact however. that some Of the newspapers
here put big headlines on reports Of peace
talk In the German Reichstag was quickly
taken to advantage Of by the bears and
when this news was followed by advices
OF tho sinking Of steamer which had
many Americans aboard, the market underl
went series of setbacks which were ac-
cerated 10 some extent by an increase both
In the domestic and Canadian visible sup
ply.
Before thed ownturns began In the wheat
market new high price levels were touched
well above, any recently attaiged. One of
ting results Of the fresh advance seemed to
be to shut of to considerable degree the
urgency OF European demand. The most
favorable advices Of sales today was $780,
900 bushels. Nevertheless. on the decline
the bears appeared to have overreached
themselves and In order to cover were
at the close.
Enlarged receipts made the corn market
weak during most of the season. besides

GRAIN AND PRODUCE
Wheat Market Firm, with Sales
Light-Sellers Hold for
Better Prices.
CASH DEMAND IS SLOW

Omaha, Oct. 80, 1915.
The wheat market remained firm today.
but the sales were light on account Of q
rather slow cash demand and also because
Of the fact that the sellers were inclined
to hold out for better prices A new high
price Of $1.s5 was paid for No. hard win
ter wheat. but the bulk of the samples went
at sl.s4, the same as Saturdays market.
No. Q hard wheat also sold at unchanged
prices the general run Of samples being
S1.s2 to $I.s3
The off grade samples of hard wheat were
very slow sellers, the bulk Of the four SELL
ing around $3.50 and few ears Of sample
grade bringing $40. The milling demand
for durum wheat was fairly good and the
market for this variety was steady.
The light receipts of corn and the strong
cash demand forced another advance In this
market,
The yellow variety Of corn sold at a
premium. No yellow selling today at 1.03,
an advance of &c over Saturdays top price
The other grades Of corn. however sold very
readily. No. . white selling at S1.00 and No
mixed ranging from 81. 90 to 3l.0I.
The demand for oats was very good and
the market generally was quoted unchanged

Omahs Future Market.
The, strong Argentine cables forced an
early rise in wheat, but the lack of exports
offers caused SLIGHT reaction In the wheat
market during the early trading hours. The
wheat situation has narrowed down to a
question of supply and demand and as long
as foreigners are willing to pay exhorbitant
prices for our grain the market will In all
probability hold its present high level
Corn held within very narrow range

cleaning out dairy herds. The meat
supply began to run short and prices
went into the air.
The government now put an en-
barge on cattle exports to Germany.
It was too late. The mischief had
been done, and besides, the govern
ment couldn't watch the whole from
tier day and night, Smugglers did
a rushing business at wonderful
prices.
They and many farmer got rich.
There is hardly'a farmer in Eastern
Holland now that does not own an
automobile.
Meantime the millstones get heav-
Ter. Great Britain objects to every
thing that Holland sells to Germany,
and Germany objects to everything
Holland sells to Great Britain, and
back of each objection is not only the
sign of the sword but the threat of
shutting off Hollands coal supply.
This little country, with many
ships, railroads and factories, pro-
duces no coal. Without coal she
would perish.
Her workers, already on short "a
lions, read of enormous dividends
made by lucky corporations. No
wonder they riot.

AND

WHEAT JUMPS - FLOUR AND
BREAD FOLLOW SUIT
The price of -four is today 55 to IS
cents a barrel higher at the grocery
store than it was yesterday.
When the price of wheat scared
suddenly 'heaVenward in the Board
of Trade wheat pit yesterday, the
price of flour followed. Wheat made
net gains Of 10 7-8 and to II 3-S
cents a bushel for the day, and the
market closed at $1.44 and $1.44 IL
for September wheat after one Of the
widest days the wheat pit has
known.
Bakers predicted today that the
price of bread would be increased or
the size of the loaf decreased.
When the market shot up to $3.50
at the, declaration of war\two years
ago, the bakers cut the weight of
a loaf from 16 to IA ounces. Wheat
and -four each dropped in price about
80 per cent, but the bakers kept on
giving Chicago consumers a IA
ounce loaf, collecting handsome ex-
ira profits on the short weight In
view of this, it is believed the Chi
cago housewife will not submit to an
other cut in the weight Of the loaf
without an awful howl
Fortunes were made and lost in
minutes on the wheat pit yesterday.
The market ran so wild that those
who were on the short side had no
time to cover.
Unfavorable crop reports was the
cause Of the bull movement.

pudding"
That's the nuttiest order 1 ever

admonition as to neutrality, that's
