CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, March 3l.-lTAe trend Of values in wheat
was never more uncertain than at present. Be
cause Of the large exportable surplus held in the
United States and Canada. 1t is dangerous TO
take on big line as the situation will pivot on
the export tskings couIled with the crop reports
from day to dsy. Export purchases late saturday
and today amounted to 100000 bushels Of cash
wheat but there were only 5000 bushels sold
here.
The foreign pressure In the wheat market for
the last ten days was not apparent today. The
market in an oversold condition at the open

wheat for sale. 1t is expected by those who
believe prices will do better. that there will be

Corn was q to rs cents higher and oats wa.

as a per cent dividend basis will be
completely discounted by a few points
further in the present advance, a con-
tinuation much beyond the present level
would seem to indicate that a higher
dividend basis is anticipated.

DESTINY

See, there goes Everyman,
He enters the great Unseen Temple of
the Future to strike a bargain with Des-
tiny.
He pleads with Destiny for Happiness,
and to influence Destiny he lays before
him Good Intentions and Promises.
Come, Destiny, see what I offer-what
is your answer.r asks Everyman.
But Destiny answers not-he makes no
bargain with Everyman.
Everyman does not interpret the ST.
lencs--he leaves the temple gay and care
free.
He barriers Good Intentions for Good
Times and trades Promises for Pleasures.
Beware, Everyman, you will see your
new toys wither before your eyes.
But Everymsn heeds not-and years
after, he walls bitterly that Destiny did
not keep its promise.
Poor ereaturei Destiny made no prom
ise land never does to those who plead
with empty hands.
Destiny is a sharp trader that looks
upon Intent and Promises as counter
felt.
II you would make bargain with Des-
tiny see that what you have to offer is
worthy.
Do not attempt to deceive.
Destiny is wise.

Internationalized.

German soldiers have been killed by
guns supplied by the Krupps.-Herr
Liebknecht.
Undoubtedly they have. Herr Lieb-
knecht must not underrate the claims OF
dividends in the international cannon
business.
But it is fair to note that the Krupps
sold as readily to the Turks as TO the
Russians Equality before the altar" is
a noble rule Of the Catholic Church.
Equality before the counter is the cannon
makers equivalent
Come unto me all We that have the cash
or credit. and will give you guns. That
is Kruppism. 1t is not confined TO Ger
many. II the United states were to get
mixed up in this war we should In all
probability have some things shot at US

Akhlat's Rock Chambers.

Akhlat now in Russian hands, was a
town of great importance in ancient days,
and its history may be said to epitomize
the vicissitudes of Armenia, for it has
been captured and recaptured by Sara
Gems, Greeks Kurds, Turks, Georgians,
Kurds and Turks again. At one time il
was the residence of Independent Ar
menian princes, and the castle Of Akhlat,
with its massive walls and towers,
though now in ruins. testifies TO its for
mer strength. Excavators have found a
rich hunting ground at Akhlat in the
wonderful rock chambers carved from
the red sandstone and curiouAy deco

MARKET BREAKS
ONPEACE RUMOR
Many Favorite Industrial Is

Advance.
ALLIED BONDS STRONG
German Exchange Touches Record
Low Mark-Wall Street Worries
About Wheat Crop.

New York. March 2O.-wau Street trad
ers, having nothing else particularly to
10, ended the war in Europe today and
caused a sharp break in the market.
Chief among the issues that have ad-
vancsd sharply and that reacted were
Crgeible, American Locomotive, Car
Foundry, Mexican Petroleum, Cuba Cane
Sugar and practically all Of the war and
automobile stocks.
Strength of AnglO-French bonds was
the thing that terrified traders. and they
could see nothing in 1t but an end Of
the war. They forgot that for several
days they have been giving the victory
to the French. To be logical, they said
today that victory for France would end
the war speedily. They forgot that the
market for months has been based on the
theory that it would take longer to end
the war il the Germans are to lose THAI
II the French are to lose.
What really looked most serious among
the peace talk was the report that
Banker Breitung was arranging TO pur-
chase the German ships informed in the
various ports Of America.
German Exchange Lower.
II Germany is seriously considering a
sale Of these ships, bankers say, it can
mean nothing but peace, because Ger
many certainly would not permit those
ships to be used to carry more war sup
plies to the allies.
German exchange touched a new low
record today. French exchange was also
over
Although nothing was really needed to
explain the market reaction, which on
The face Of it is purely technical and
temporary. the street suddenly became
worried about the wheat crop. The crop
mas been dana ged in some parts OF the
country. but the high price and extraor-
binary efforts being put out by farmers
o make another big crop will nullify any
1amage done thus far.
