Trade that the Northwest has prac-
tically no wheat Of seed quality. and
that good seed wheat was now sell
ing at from four to five dollars a

The defeat OF the Rumanians is
the greatest since the destruction OF

Tutrakan, when $4,000 Rumanians
were trapped and captured south Of
the Danube.
The Rumanians were caught by an
encircling movement and began TO
stream back across the river without
Offering stubborn opposition. Teu-
tonic monitors had smashed some OF
the pontoon bridges over which the
invaders crossed, thus interfering
seriously with their retreat to the
north bank.
Bulgarian artillery was trained on
Rumanian transports that attempted
TO facilitate the retreat, adding to the
confusion in the ranks of the enemy.
The exact number OF prisoners is not
definitely known. but it is reported
that large quantities OF war material
were brought in.
On the Dobrudia front. all Russo
Rumanian attacks were frustrated.
The German war Office yesterday
afternoon announced that the Ruman-
ian force that crossed the Danube had
retreated before a German Bulgar en-
circling movement.

Reading New York Feature.

The professional view Of the New York
market situatio is reflected in the fol-
lowing telegram from New York brokers
10 w. B Hibbs & Company. of this city,
summarizing the attion Of Yesterdays
list there:
Reading was the feature and sold at
a record price. The reports that circu-
lated suggested that something may be
published in the nature OF segre ga ton
OF the companies assets. Just what form
the matter will take did not appear to be
known. but il was apparent that the float
ing supply of the stock has been greatly
reduced as a result Of accumulation and
that the issues respond easily to buying
orders In other departments hrmness
prevailed and In quite a few speCialtiee
we're buoyant. The prospect Of a tir1n
stand in connection with Mexico and
assurances of the passage OF an enlarged
army bill by Congress appears to have
stimulated and revived interest in the
war order stocks, and inasmuch as
rather substantial class Of buying has
developed in the rail department. the in
dicauons would appear TO favor some
what higher range of prices, especially
as the International political situation
from an American viewpoint, is more
assuring"
