SaICAGO. August 19.-The volume of
trade In wheat here today was said
to have been the largest on record

In the market for that cereal This

needed by an awakened trade to estab-

but offerings were not large. Buying
by foreigners was reported in ali
markets. Liverpool was sharply high
er-another bull factor.
The market for corn also attained a
ae, new price @ altitude. The factors were
a crop of 1855, 100000 bushels and the
fact that spot corn was selling at a
good premium over September and
bringing the best prices in twenty
years. Shorts covered freely and a
good investment demand was noted
There was some recession from the
top on profit taking
Further sharp advances were witnessed
in oats. The strength OF other grains and
the theory that oats are much too low
as compared with other cereals excited a
strengthening influence and inspired gen
eral buying. There was a scattered in
vestment demand. much of it from in
nuential sources. and spot concerns were
active on the buying side. Offerings on
the upturn were only fair and came main
ly from longs who were satisfied with
the profits at hand. The weather was
propitious for thrashing.

Lowest at the Close.
Rails and investment stocks were at
lowest prices just before the close.

word that the Washington conference
had as yet been without definite results
Irregular gains were registered by fer
tilizer shares, Pullman, Sears-Roebuck,
and tobaccos, but these were devoid of
Significance. Total sales of stocks
amounted to 215,ooo shares.
The bank statement was of interest
chiefly because of the large actual cash

Dealing in the securities market this
week were larger and more diversified
than at any time since the advent of
the summer season, and. though high
er prices prevailed and new high rec
ords were registered. the undertone at
times was one of enforced restraint.
Outstanding features were the railway
labor controversy. in which the scene
Of action shifted to Washington and
formal announcement of the new British
loan. or credit, as 1t may more cor
rectly be designated.
Outcome of the railway situation was
still IN doubt at the close of the weeks

some of the railway executives found
reflection in the transportation issues.
The success of the new British under

assured.
General financial, industrial and.
commercial conditions manifest no ma
terfai change from their protracted
prosperity. This was made evident in
the increased or extra dividend dis
bursements announced during the
week by companies engaged in various
lines of industry; further demands,
foreign and domestic, for STEEL iron
and copper; maintenance of high prices
for important commodities and staples,
and the enormous bank clearings and
exchanges.

ONE OF OUR
PEACEFUL MISSIONS

1t is suggested that there is one
specific reason why we should main
tain amicable relations with Germany
that ought to engage the attention
of the persons who either desire war,
or pretend to for the malicious pur-
pose of discrediting the President.
For Belgium we can do nothing,
and could not have done anything at
any time, except to succor the desti-
tute. In September, 1914, Mr.. Roose-
welt himself said we could not have
saved that country, and we should
have destroyed our neutrality if we
had protested against the German in
vasion. He recognized then also that
the maintenance of our neutrality was
important for the world as we'll as
for ourselves. Now that Presiden-
tial campaign is on hand and he is
trying to bully the Republican party
into nominating him lest he should
again lead bolt, he denounces the
President for not throwing neutrality
to the winds and facing Germany
down on the Belgian invasion.

CONFEDERATE
REUNIONS

At the recent reunion of the Unit
ed Confederate Veterans in Birming-
ham, Ala, it was suggested that
that might prove the last generai
gathering of the survivors of the ar
mies of the late Southern Confede-
racy. The depleted ranks of those
who fought for southern rights an;i
the fact that nearly all are nearing
the sunset Of life make it apparent
that the time is not far distant. when
such annual gatherings will be i'm
possible. Of course, in communities
the few who, wore the gray will con.
tinue to gather annually for ;averal
years. as was the case i'll Alexandria
Wednesday, but to make long jour
neys to general gatherings Of sur
vtvors will soon be. out Of thu Ques
ton. The DanviHe Register in -efei,

United Confederate veterans, sane
view: of the matter! is, that IN the
course of few years such assem-
flages will have to be abandoned g
maybe ten years hence, but newt
ably the time: must soon come when
there Will be too few of the survivors,
of that conflict left who are able to
stand the fatigue of asjourney to the
seat of the reunion and the marching
and other activities incident tc sueh
asser1bIages. At the same time the
idea that the reunions should be
maintained until there is but one sur
yyivor is absurd. In this connection
we quote from the Richmond Jour
raj, which in an editorial headed TO
the Last Man." says in concluding:
eve would like to see the reunions
continue until that time some twen-
ty-five, or maybe thirty years hence
when the last survivor of the Confed-
eracy will totter forth alone undcr
the stars and bars, with band play
ing "Dixie," surrounded by multitude
of younger people, loving and APP
rlauding him and seeing in him the
living embodiment of all the gallant
hosts who swarmed forth to stand
anc endure, to march and suffer and
faye death for clean love of sacred
principle"
This is clearly a case of letting
ones enthusiasm run away with his
Judgment. Imagine the absurdity Of
reunion with one veteran or doz-
en- or even hundred present. That,
multitude of younger people loving
and tnplauding him, whick our con-
tenn oorary in its enthusiasm secs
could better testify their love ny max
ing the everyday life Of the surviv-.
ing veterans more comfortable and
happy. Let the reunions cease when
So few remain who are strong enough
to march that but feeble, venerable
remnant is left.

MORE PEACE
WHHSPERINGS

It is an old saying that the dark
est hour precedes day. The fearful
slaughter of men before Verdun IS
appalling the world, and the beill-
perents. however, determined, realize
that there must, sooner or later. BE
a cessation of such procedures. Inc
world is sick of war-we hear OF the
shrieks of shells, blowing up fields
which should be at this season OF the
wear smiling with vegetation, and
we are disguised when we read OF
men fighting each other to the death
with knives when at too close quart
ers to use guns.
The fact that peace talk is so popu'
lar in Germany is proof conclusive
that that country has had enough OF
war during less than two years to
last it a century. The superior mill
tary establishment of Germany mas
enabled that country to invade parts
of Russia, France and Belgium, but
at a fearful cost. Many thousands o!
ner population have been ruthlessly
sacrificed in order 10 enable her to
occupy the bare fringes of the belll-
rerieint .atations. German commerce
has been swept from the sea, ner
colonies gobbled up by her eaoH''es.
while the wolf is at the door o: many
Teuton homes by reason of the block
ade of the country by the allies. Ger
many's enemies, too, are grimly bear
ing the natural results of war. Thou
sands of French, English, Delg.arls,>
and Russians have been slaughtered,
and anxiety over the food supply OF
those countries is becoming more pro-
nounced daily.
Descriptions of the slaughter OF
4.rmcmans by Turks and the ravagcs
of famine and pestilence among that
people make the heart sick.
A cotemporary suggest that whe:n-
err or not the reports are to be Gre
d;tcd that Indicate the coming 'ot
Count Won Buelow to Washington as
special messenger to President WI
son, the fact is clear enough that
Berlin is trying to draw closer to
Washington. The former German
chancellor may be sent to the United
States to displace Count Bernstortt,
and the present ambassador may De
recalled to fill the position OF foreign
minister, to succeed Won Jagow, who
has come under condemnation as
weak man for an office calling Tor
Higor.
In such position Count Bernstorft
would be enabled to bring to hea1
his peace with America policy and
promote the ends of amity between
the two governments, that is now
the decided policy of the Berlin gov
ernmcnt. Instead of paying no at
tention to American protests, as was
the case in the earlier stages of The
war. Berlin is now intent upon cul
tivating the very friendliest relations
with this country, and any changes
in the diplomatic situation would lie
promotive of this end. And this Is
but one of several straws that point
to pcace-Germany is now as rluch
engaged in preparations for peace as
it is in prosecuting war.
