The Turks. being Asiatics. are

make the fundamental mistake of

corrected.
The position Of Asia after the

Peace may bring a blessing 10 Asia

it may also bring disaster TO this

In view of this second possibility.
Japan must take the leadership in

Not that we would lead any anti

An example Of European dis
elimination against Asiatics is the
reference OF the kaiser i'm his recent

His references must be regarded as
a slur on all colored peoples. More

STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

The gist of the reliable opinion is, that while reactions are from time to time inevitable, the trend of prices is still upward. The government is losing no time in getting started on actual preparations for handling a big army. Orders for supplies of all kinds are be- ing daily placed in huge amounts with no publicity and at satisfactory prices to the producers. The change in -e4e political status at Washington, the gains of the British and French armies, the improved Russian situation and the lighter toll of the U-boats all tend to create confidence.
 The railroad list is beginning to show signs of renewed activity. There IS d very confident feeling among railroad men that 15 per cent advance will be

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, June Big jumps in wheat prices took place today as re- suit Of the smallness of the 1917 crop indicated by the government report. After an extreme leap of 16 cents a bushel. the market closed firm, : to II net higher with July at s2.35 and Sept at s2.02 Corn gained half to "A, oats 112 to ?, and provisions 15 to 30 cents.
 The official estimate on the total yield in the United States this season was only 16,0OO,OOO bushels more than was harvested in 1915. At an average rate Of consumption. this would allow not to exceed 36,000,000 bushels for shipment to Europe.
 Activity on a broad scale character ized the corn market. Heavy buying made prices advance rapidly. The chief stimulus to purchase came from cold weather Considerable buying was said to be in progress on the theory that corn would be in urgent demand for feeding.
 Eullish constructions of the govern ment crop report tended to lift oats.
 Provisions went upward with grain.
