Interest in local trading circles was
divided between wheat and Lusitania
yesterday. The international situa-
tion. which has kept the New York
list nervous for several days past, was
not improved from a market viewpoint
by the announcement of yesterday
afternoon. and. although coppers and
some standard shares held up well,
motors and some of the war-order is
sues were sharply lower. Every in
dication of a cessation OF liquidation
was met by the bears with further
supplies of stock. increasing the ex-
tent OF the short account.
Logan & Bryan wired Hibbs & Co.
here following the close yesterday:
Speculative sellers will probably
endeavor to force further price con-
cessions until something constructive
Is encountered of sort likely to pro-
mote hasty retreat on the part of

Nothing but advancing prices and
possibilities OF new high records is
heard In the wheat market. Demand
for cash wheat, proceeding largely, as
II does. from millers and exporters,
outweighs the effect of liberal do
mestic supplies, in the opinion of OBJ
servers. and this condition, II con-
tinued, should work prices much
higher. Bear traders in Chicago have
stopped fighting the advances and a
number declare they are off that
side of the market. Kansas City,
which has sent nothing but bear news
for weeks. is now bullish. In the event
OF any serious crop damage. new price
records for the season may easily be
scored

A Guarantee.
"It is just that this nation should
concern itself with it's rights; but 1t
is even more necessary that it should
concern itself with it's duties. As be-
tween Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Wilson,
who can doubt which is the man who
will with austere courage stand for
the national duty? Mr.. Wilson's
words have contradicted one another;
and all his words have been contra.
dicted by his acts. Mr.. Wilson's
promise has not borne the slightest
reference to his performance. We
have against him in Mr.. Hughes a
man whose public life is a guarantee
that whatever he says he will make
good, and that all his words will be
borne out by his deeds. Against Mr..
Wilson's combination of grace in elo-
cution with futility in action; against
his record of words unbacked by
deeds or betrayed by deeds, we set
Mr.. Hughes rugged and uncompro-
missing straightforwardness of char
acter and action in every office he
has held. We put the man who thinks
and speaks directly, and whose words
have always been made good, against
the man whose adroit and facile elo-
cution is used to conceal his plans or
his want of plans. The next four
years may be years of tremendous
national strain. Which of the two
men do you, the American people,
wish at the helm during these four
years; the man who has been actual
ly tried and found wanting, or the
man whose whole career in public
office is a guarantee of his power and
good faith? But one answer is pos
sible: and it must be given by the
American people though the election
