WEATHER BULLETIN

Washington, d. c., Oct. 21.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts OF disturban-
ces to cross continent Oct. 26 to 30,
warm wave rs to 2S, cool wave 2S
to Nov. /. Temperature OF that week,
centering on Oct. 2S, will average
above normal Don't forget that these
dates are for meridian 80, an mag
inery line drawn from New Orleans,
st. Louis, Duluth and northward. As
all weather features drift eastward
you must count from one to three
days earlier according to distance,
west OF that line and one to two and
half days for east Of that line. Ex-
cept that the tropical storms move
northeast along the Atlantic coast
and their time can not yet be success
fully forecasted. We do not forecast
for the District Of Columbia and do
not try to give exact time OF wealth or
features movements for the states
south OF the Potomac and east Of
Louisiana.
During the week centering on Oct
rs, very severe storms are expected
and our readers are urged to be pre-
pared for them. They will miss nine
tenths Of the country and we cam 1t
locate them, but we are quite sure as
to when they will occur. Heavy
rains are expected during that week
in large parts Of the cotton states.
Next warm wave will reach Van.
couver near Oct. 80 and temperatures
will rise on all the Pacific slope. II
will cross ridge Of Rockies by close
OF 81, plains section Nov. 1, meridian
90, great lakes and Ohio valleys Nov
2, eastern sections 3, reaching New
foundland near Nov. 4. Storm wave
will follow about one day after warn,
wave and cool wave about one day
after storm wave.
This will be a continuation OF the
severe storm period mentioned above
but the storms will decrease as they
near the Atlantic coasts. Following
this storm will come a severe COLI
wave that will cause general KILN;
frosts in large parts Of the cottor
belt. We also expect some sever,
tropical storms during this great con
tinental storm period but cannot nov
give particulars.
Our forecasts for September wer,
: generally good except less rain thar
expected In parts Of the Southwes
and middle West. Our Temperature
} lines were somewhat defective.

surplus grain. While they might %

The financial situation has not

Strenuous denials are being MADE 70
the reports that Mexican soldiefs
have Joined the Villistas. The EuTo-
pean diplomatic situation has been
further complicated by reported loss
of American lives on rBitish steamer
sailing from Avonmouth which mas
been torpedoed, and the sinking or
channel steamer, the Sussex. These
matters are now receiving the atfen-
ton of the State department. ana
full reports have been requested from
American Consular officers.
News from the front in France In
dicates that the German lines nave
been pushed further into French ter
ritory, but no decisive victory mas
been reached. Wall street gossip rs
that preparations are under way for
a real upward movement from rail-
way shares. II Is not likely to get
into full swing before definite signs
of peace appear but many prominent
operators are intimating that those
who purchase railway shares BEFORE

be well rewarded. Frequent indi-

Chicago. March 2b.--The wheat
plant of the Southwest ts bare OF snow
protection, which Is but natural at this
season OF the year. but there ~ a pos
ability of additional deterioration as
the weather conditions are expected to
show a severe drop in temperatures.
! The promised cold snap, however,
may be s!detracked. There was some
wheat bought on the promise of lower
Temperatures, but. generally speaking,
the market was a waiting one, and
prices declined 3-s 10 6-s 10 day. The
statistical news on wheat that will be
spread before the speculative world
Monday ia more than likely to favor
those who believe in lower prices.
Tho worlds shipments will be liberal.
nm increase in the amount OF ocean
passage will more than likely be seen.
and a further increase in the visible
supply would not surprise the trade
at Chicago and elsewhere.
Spots were liberal buyers IN the Min
'nsapoiis market today and the
strength shown there during the
mcrning-where there was a rally of
u cent, helped the situation no little
here. The strength in the Northwest
was said to have been on buying by
the country of the July delivery. and
this was mainly on the reports of the
G841oH UclAE A6tos NV pAily Az ouk oNH
country, but in Canada as well
Importers In England were report
ed ~ again reselling wheat the can
cellAtions during the past few days
amounting TO 75o.oo bushels. A mes
sage received from New York late
today said that the reason this wheat
was resold was because of the inabil-
s1ty OF the owners to secure vessel room
an which to send II abroad. Private
passages said that while the various
were looking around for
wheat and were bidding close to a
working basis. that there were no
sales on this account reported.
Corn was an independent market
today. closing with gains OF is to la
cent There was an easier tone early,
hut there was rally OF fully / cent
with wheat. Local professionals were
|sn the lead as buyers, There was an
easier feeling late and part. of the
