would buy around 81. Everyone is
waiting to hear what price is to be
made; grower and buyer are in the
same position. Until such price Is
available values of wheat and flour,
it was stated, are merely conjectural
No future buying and selling, even
for the cash or 30-day period now
conceded, was regarded as safely pos
sible. There has been much specula-
ton among millers and wheat buyers
as to the possible figure at which wheat
would be fixed, but in view of the fact
that the 1918 crop has been estab-
lished at 81, a no less level is ex,
pccted for this year, as farmers could
hold their wheat until next year II
prices for present holdings were any

While the Italian offensive has the
aspect of larger importance the French
assault in the Hurtebise region on the
Aisne front Friday evening was per-
haps the most interesting development

brief artillery preparation, General
Petain's troops drove the Germans

 And in conclusion the letter says: q repeat what I already have said in this and previous letters address ed to your committee, that I am most anxious and desirous that the investi' gation be made thorough and com plete to the end that it shall do jus tce to all participants and shall con stitute an honorable precedent when ever expulsion of one of it's mem bers shall come before the United States senate"

Oct. 16.-With four teen working days gone, and only ten more to come, Liberty bond sales were believed by treasury officials to- night to have just reached the ST., OO0 900 900. result which has leo them to wonder if the 5000, ,o0O,ooo honed for can be obtained in the final days of the campaign.
 "Committees in almost every part of inc country. still wire encourag' inelv that they can make their max imum totals" said treasury depart ment statement.
 Possibly they can, but either they are concealing their actual sales which is not believed to be the case: or there must be some unexpecteu snurt in the offering. Certainly tneIe is little about the sale thus far to warrant great confidence that tne ;, s5 O0O O0o.o 900 mark will be reached.
 Official figures reported to the ae- +ual sales made yesterday makes the tota, s52S. .23O,s50. a little more than s.If of the s1.O0O 100000 believed to have been subscribed.
