Washington, Sept. 18.-Reports to
the Geological Survey on production

washington, Sept. 19.-Germany's

governmental disclosures.
While a spy system still fourishes

Since that time there has been no

CHICAGO, February 10.-Wheat prices
ran up swiftly today. Influenced to a large
extent by reports that the British gov
ernment had comnandeered numerous
South American line steamships. and
would undertake to convoy from United
States ports to Europe as many cargoes
of foodstuffs as might be required After
an extreme advance of oa. a bushel, the

Broadening out of wheat trade was
especially notable in the last hour when
the prospects of revival of export busi-
ness fooked better than had been the case
any time before in over a week. Right
from the outset, however. the market was
an the upgrade. and there was active buy
ing on the part OF houses with seaboard
connections Predictions were circulated
that a decided improvement of railway
conditions would be soon forthcoming.
Besides, gossip was current of big
merchant fleet that the entente allies had
assembled off the Virginia capes. High
est prices of the session. though, were
not attained until word came that Great
Britain was bringing north virtually all
the available freight vessels in the At
lantic from below the equator.
Crop damage complaints from the
southwest tended throughout the day to
handicap the wheat bears. On the other
hand. some holders were uneasy IN re-
gard to the uncertainties of DEVELOPMENTS

to make realizing sales. but such trans
actions failed TO become plentiful enough
to alter vitally the prevailing bullish senti-

that German financial interests were en-

consideration. Spasmodic movement in

was the steady selling in moderate
