SOARING WHEAT VALUES
RESULT IN NET GAINS
Chicago Markets High Levels of
Past Week Not Surpassed Since
the American Civil War.

CHICAGO, October 21-Soaring values
for wheat during the last week have
resulted in net gains Of II cents to II H
cents a bushel for active months, and
of 5H cents for July. Big export sales
furnished the chief motive for the ad-
vance, and these in turn were in
f1uenced largely by a continuance Of
that Canadian thrashing had been
brought to an untimely halt.
Although the advances have carried
the wheat market to high levels, not
surpassed but once since the American
civil war, the upward movement of
quotations beginning on Tuesday was
preceded by two days Of hesitancy due
to nervousness over the possibility of
ploits and because of misleading signs
Of a break in the Argentine drought
Bearish Factors Forgotten.
Such bearish factors. however, were
forgotten when immense purchases Of
American wheat appeared to have been
started by the British government, and
it was said sharp reductions in At
lantic vessel rates had been arranged
to facilitate the movement Of the grain
to Europe.
The consequent rise In prices went on
virtually without check during We'd
nesday and Thursday. and it was not
until the last half Of Fridays session
that profit-taking by holders became
sufficiently enlarged to raise the ques-
tion as to whether the extraordinary
bullish elements in the supply outlook
had not been discounted enough for
the time being.
Canadian Wheat Problem.
One of the chief uncertainties this
morning was the difficulty of judging
the permanence Of the interruption to
Canadian thrashing. According to
well known expert, not more than one
third of the 1916 yield of Canadian
wheat has yet been put in shape for
market. The rest is still standing in
the fields, covered with six to eight
inches of snow.
With temperatures down almost to
zero, and with labor scarce. 1t was con-
tended by bulls that chances were
greatly against liberal shipments from
Canada, and that the effect of shortages
in Argentina and the United States
would therefore become more and moro
acute.
Corn, oats and provisions have fol-
lowed wheat sharply upgrade. The
biggest net gains for the week have
been in corn and pork-respectively
TN cents to IN cents q bushel and
$1.05 to $1.25 barrel.

the interest in the market during the
entire two hours, although there were
sensations elsewhere, but the favorite
market leader paced the industrial list
with even more show of strength, more
eclat in the trading than during the
earlier days OF the week.

important, although but Y remained

CHICAGO, October 21.-Fresh ad-

were met by heavy proflt-taking sales.
but on decline the market ran into
resting orders to purchase. and there
was a consequent rally. The bulls gave
chief attention to the continued drought
in Argentina and to the fact that cable
quotations showed moderate strength.

liberal world shipment. including an
increased amount to Great Britain.
Opening prices. which ranged from

Italians Hold Positions, InAict
Heavy Losses---German
Verdun Effort Down.
FRENCH FIRM AT VERDUN
British Are Pressing Turks
In Egypt In Small
Skirmishes.

London, May 19.-The Italians i'm
southern Tyrol are now holding back
the Austrians from further inroads
into their positions. In the Ledro
valley southwest of Trent and in the
Lagarina valley of the south of the
city, the Austrians, after heavy ar
tillery preparations, threw vicious at
lacks against the Italian lines, but all
of them were repulsed with heavy
casualties, according to Rome.
Five attacks were made on Zegna-
torta, the same number as were made
Wednesday and again all of them
were stopped with sanguinary losses.
In the Adamello zone to the west of
Trent, where previous gains have
been made by the Italians; they have
occupied additional territory in the
Sarcaba river region and in the Mon
falcome region, near the head of the
gulf of Triest, have recaptured trench
es taken from them by the Austrians
last Monday.
Another Intellectual attempt has
been made by the Germans against
the French positions in the Avocourt
wood an don Hill 304, to the north
west of Verdun. Paris reports that
strong attack was put down by the
French guns and that the Germans
appeared to, have suffered serious
losses.
| On the remainder of the front in
France and Belgium, aside from an
unsuccessful infantry attack against
the Belgians north of Steenstraete,
there have been only bombardments.
The British in Egypt have carried
out successful maneuver against the
Turks and tribesmen at Bayod and
Magei, putting them to flight and de-
stroying the camp at Bayod.
Austrian eroplanes have dropped
bombs on Avalona, Albania, the only
seaport on the eastern Adriatric re-
naming in the hands of the entente
allies. That Avlona probably is well
fortified against an infantry attack
i is indicated by the statement of the
Austro-Hungarian admiralty that the
raiding aircruft were heavily shelled.
