BALKAN SITUATION
/. LIFTS WHEAT PRICES
Market Closed Steady at a
Slight Advance Over
Former Close

Chicago, September 9O-Reports that
the armies of Rumania we're in a perilous
position tended today to lift the price of
wheat, but word of a Rumanian victory
near the Black sea acted later as an off,
set. The market closed steady. 81. 49, for
December and s1.5Os4 for May. and with
the market as a whole lkc Off to &c up
as compared with yesterdays finish.
Corn closed unchanged to 1zd5sc lower;
oats at an advance of 9sG5sc. and provi-
sions unchanged to 15c higher.
Bulls in wheat seemed to be disposed
for a while to put considerable stress on
admissions from London that Rumaaia
has been caught at a disadvantage by
Bulgarian attacks in the southeast
These admissions were coupled here with
Russian advices that at best it was not
expected the Dardanelles would be
opened in time TO allow any shipments
this season. Besides. gossip was current
that foreign governments were likely TO
give preference now to wheat from the
United States in order to forestall q pos
sible embargo in this country later on.
However. vessel rates from Argentina
showed a decline and it was denied that
Holland had purchased any of the car
goes recently ordered shipped from Ar
gentina to New York. Subsequently an
nouncements that the Rumanians had
defeated the Bulgarians and Teutons in
Dobrudja turned sentiment more and
more to the bear side. virtually wiping
out all the early gains.
Disappointment over the comparative
smallness of export business counted
late in the day as a handicap on the
wheat bulls. The total was only HOO
bushels In the last half hour especially
there was much unloading on the part OF
early buyers. led by two of the largest
houses on change.
Fine weather eased down the corn
market. The late weakness of wheat was
also an Indictment to sellers, notwith-
standing that frost was predicted for the
northwest tonight.
Gas hardened in sympathy with an
advance at winnipeg. There was good
cash inquiry here, but shipping was re-
stricted by scarcity of cars.
Although provisions at first weakened
owing to depression in the hog market,
an upward swing took place later, influ-
enced by an aggressive demand for lard.
Some of the PURCHASE was ascribed to
the packers.

Aycry's Letter

Liverpool came or points too low this
morning to meet the advance in our mar
ket yesterday. which gave the market a
bad start on our side.
There were rumors of a British ship
having sunk several days ago with two
or more Americans on board, which start
ed long liquidation and short selling.
Stop orders were caught on the decline
and prices quickly broke 20 to rs points
below yesterdays closing levels.
New York reported heavy selling by
spot interests which was probably against
purchases of actual and heavy 1iquida-
ton by houses with western connec-
tons.
1t is only natural to. expect these sharp
reactions at the present high level of
values, but it makes the technical posi-
ton of the market all the better.
Spots were unchanged to slightly easier
over the belt.
We see nothing to change our views on
the market and favor purchases on easy
spots.

interests prompted by the firmness OF
the spot market. AT one time values
were about 10 to 16 points higher for the

heavy realizing developed and prices
suffered a severe setback, practically all
the advance being lost, with closing quo

AS Motive

I cannot bear it any longer"
"God will not be angry with me,
the note continued. 81 have con-
fessed everything to Him. He knows
how much I can bear and must know
I can bear no more. My eyes are fail
ing me and the blacklist misery is
ahead of me. There is no one to
take care of me if my eyes and gen.
eral health go. Don't reproach me,
but say kind word for your friend "
Mrs. Ranous was born in Ashfield
Mass, and was about so years old
She translated into English with DR.
