/ Wheat.-The market is in most un-
| settled condition because OF the pro-
longed discussion of the food control
/ bill. and, instead of the new crop NOV
! ing. as is customary at this time Of the
/ year. wheat is being stored on the
/ farms, and elevator interests are ap-
parently little disposed to make .pur-
/ chases at prevailing prices. IL is diff
/ cult to buy cash wheat in any posi-
ton, and prices are firm for both the
new and the old crop. moderate
/ quantity of new Kansas -four has been
/ sold here for shipment up to the first
I half Of August by mills which have
made purchases in the country, but
next 10 nothing has been done for for
ward shipment.
In the meantime stocks Of old -four
are running down, and in some quar-
ters II is feared that a congestion IS
/ likely to occur when the market again
offers freer trading facilities.

have reached the Sereth river at two
points. No operations have been inau-

The Russians brought up reinforce

day on the northern end Of the Russo

that line on the Danube end, and its

well against the Teutonic pressure,
while the efforts to keep the Teutons in
check in the Moldavian frontier valleys
is apparently proving still less success

A break in this line on the southerly
front would imperil the Moldavian
frontier position, while the piercing of
the frontier line itself, not an appar-
ent i~mprobability, would endanger the
entire line running southwestward to
the Danube.
In these circumstances commenta-
tors in entente capitals are considering
the possibility of the Russians being
compelled to abandon the line of the
Sereth and withdraw to the Russian
frontier or beyond ii. to B~essarabia.
Emperor William is quoted as de-
claring in an order issued to the army

peace negotiations had been refused,
the war would be continued with a view

Daniels Pleads For Defeat OF
Compromise With Claimants,
Saying Navy's Efficiency

Washington. Jan 6-Secretary Dan

man, of the Snate naval committee, to
defeat the compromise legislation to
give claimants leases on the navy pc
troleum fuel reserve in California and
Wyoming. He also sent a statement
Of the navy's objections TO Senator
Pittman, chairman of a subcommittee
which framed the compromise. The de-
partment of justice holds many of the
claims are fraudulent, and the navy
maintains the safety of the nation,
which will be imperiled by the loss of
fuel.
Every capital ship and every de-
stroyer is now designed to bum Oil,

Senator Tillnan, and the features of
the design are such that it is impos-
sible to return to the use of coal. I'm
der the circumstances. the problem of
securing a supply of oil for u fleet

Attempt to Establish Jurisdic-

Chicago. Jan. ~S.-Judges Evans. Car
penter and Lands, of inc United States
district court today denied the petit
lion of IS railroads operating in Illinois
to restrain the state public utilities
commission from enforcing the illinois
2-Cent fare law.
The railroads contended that a ruling
Of the Interstate Commerce commission
permitting Il passenger rate Of "a cents
a mile in Illinois should set aside the
state law.
The east arose from the action Of
patrons of Illinois railroads entering
East st. Louis, III. The fare to st.
Louis, Mo, under a ruling of the Inter-
state Commerce commission. was fixed
at "a cents a mile. BY buying a tick
ct to East St. LOUIS. H., and crossing
the bridge on street cars, passengers
saved the a Of a cent difference be-
tween the 2-cent rate on intrasta:e
fares and interstate fares. The rail-
roads brought suit TO restrain the state
from enforcing the 2-cent rate fixed by
It. This injunction was denied.
