Chief MURPHY OUT

opeClal to The Washington Herald.
Saratoga, n. Y. Aug. 13.-Charles
Francis Murphy has bossed his last
Democratic State convention. From
now on his whole effort will be de
voted to electing a Democratic mayor
OF New York City next year and then
he purposes to quit politics and turn
over the Tammany leadership to some
other man.
This information was given here
this afternoon by Democratic leaders
who have had the confidence of Muir
the energetic efforts already begun in
the greater city to find a mayoralty
candidate who will stand the acid test
and once more turn the administration
of the Citys affairs over to the Dem
ocrats. In any event Murphy intends
to give up on December 81, 1917, the
leadership he has held for more than
fifteen years.
Plans for the mayoralty campaign
next year have already been minuteIy
discussed, one Of the Understandings
being that President Wilson and mem
bers Of his administration will not in
terfere. and that Tammany shall have
a free hand in the selection of its
candidate. An agreement to this eff
feet has already been reached between
representatives OF the administration
and the Tiger the only stipulation
made by the Presidents friends being
that the candidate must be of suffi-
Cient class to warrant the support of

WHEAT PRICE in
farmers HANDS
Crop Growers Have Sold Lit
tie of Surplus and Are
Able to Name Rates.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-Farmers of the
United States hold the whip hand. They
have sold comparatively little of their
surplus wheat and will be enabled to
name the price for the grain now in their
possessiOn-un;ess peace comes suddenly
upon the world
/ Agents of the various governments, led
by those representing Great Britain. have
made large purchases of wheat during
the past week. Their wants are much
larger than they are willing to acknowl-
edge. but their actions indicate they are
anxious to secure a few million bushels
at once, and they are asking for offers
OF many millions more.
The claims made in certain quarters
that the wheat market has been manipu-
lated in a high-handcd manner shows
that some people in official positions are
not well posted on crop prospects AZ well
as the tenaCity of the farmers and the
demand from abroad.
The losses in our own spring wheat
country. the outlook in Western Canada,
and the fact that nearly all of the cash
grain in the latter country has been sold
shows there is a likelihood OF values
hardening still further
There are many possibilities in wheat
speculation at the present time Crop
exports sent out from here and elsewhere
say that the losses have been severe and
that the quality of the wheat has been
lowered materially. These conditions are
greatly against the total crop.
The lower temperatures reported are
greatly against the growing wheat, part
of which is still in the milk and part of
which is still green. although in the lat
ter condition the grain is being har-
vested in order TO save it if possible.
The strength displayed by corn, even
in the face Of rains throughout large
portions of the belt. has surprised many
in the trade. 1t was expected that with
improvement to the plant in the way OF
precipitation, values would sell off sharp
ly. There We're many shorts in the corn
market and besides their purchases there
has been big investment demand.
Hedging sales against the movement of
oats have shown falling off in the past
ten days, yet the offerings were about
equal TO the demand and the market has
ruled rather steady in consequence. The
business on export account has been com
paratively small
While the situation in the market for
provisions has reflected heavy liquidation
it has been only fairly well taken care Of

District Miltiamen. officers of the Citi-

This seemed to leave a small posi-

For instance. if the President would
fix up an arbitration board that would

When the brotherhood delegates assem-
