THE MARKET WORLDN
Downward PLUNGE;
QUICKLY CHECKED

Chicago, Feb. 1.-Breaks that were
foreseen to be inevitable today IN the
price of wheat turned out 10 % lluc"
worse than had been generally expect
cd hut the downward plunge OF the
market was ended far quicker tnan
most traders were expecting. Solely
MS the result of Germany's notice OF
sea war without limit. wheat Values
made a sheer descent of 10 Lac.
The market rebounded &C., seinng
of a manic sort was over, ana ,tnere-
after prices kept inside of SC range:
closing unsettled 1908 1-8c net
lower with NAV at s1.6S 1-S@ 1.63 IA
and ,July at s1,41 1-2 2@1.41 rs.
i Extreme declines in oats, corn and
provisions were respectively 5-Sc,
5-Sc. and 1926, but the final figures
showed losses. compared with yester-
DAVIS finish to have been narrowed to
the following: Corn, 2 1902 Sac:
oats, 1 1902 3-4c. and provisions.
So 1906 to s1.67 1-2.
May wheat. in which the CHIEF lnc
terest centered and which had closed
yesterday at s1.71 1S@1.7l IL.
crashed down to $1.56, and there wa
no initial sale recorded higher than
$1.63, just two cents below the ear
liest offer that was heard.
Selling on a tremendous scale con-
tinued unabated in wheat for about
five minutes. Then the pressure be.
gan to slacken little and the market.
though fluctuating violently for tho
next quarter of an hour, was less one
sided. General expectation that tho
utmost decline would not greatly eX-
ceed 10c bushel had proved wrong
by more than &c. In later dealings.
the nervousness of the wheat crowd
was renewed by reports that railway
embargoes were spreading .and by
Washington advices that break in
diplomatic relations with Germany
was not unlikely. Some idea, of the
magnitude of the interests affected
by today's violent setback in prices
may. be gained from estimates current
tonight that single firm here has
sold short within the last few weeks
nearly 30.000.000 bushels of * wheat.
Another concern was said to have pur-
chased today alone 3,000,0OO bushels
Corn and oats gave way and: rallied
in line with wheat. Trading was un-
, usually active.
| Provisions shared in the general
weakness due to the prospect that
ocean shipping was to be seriously
hampered by the German naval pro-
gram. The greatest decline was in

New York. Feb. 2.-The first public
address which Herbert c. Hoover.
chairman Of the American commits
sion for the relief Of Belgium, has
war began was delivered yesterday
before the chamber of commerce OF
the state Of New York, with an effort
to impress upon the American people
how comparatively insignificant have
been their contributions for Belgian
relief.
AS compared with profit Of $780,
through the spending here OF $780,
100000 by the relief commission in
the purchase Of supplies for Belgium,
the public benevolence in America to-
wards Belgium has amounted to only
$9,OOO,OO0. Such were the figures Mr..
Hoover presented
Gentlemen. Europe has begun to
take stock Of us!" he said. in compar-
ing these figures with American claims
to idealism, devotion to humanity, and
great benevolence.
Must Have Money.
It was true that Americans had op-
ened the door to Belgium, but time
and again the door had threatened to
close. and Mr.. Hoover declared that
the financial future Of the organiza-
tion gave untold anxiety.
To-day" he said, we must have

Blockade Of Imports.
Your boundaries would be marked
with wall of steel. You would be-
from military necessity blockaded of
imports. The daily flow Of 70 per cent
Of your food supplies to your cities
from beyond the wall Of steel would
" cease. and your markets and bakeries
would he empty. Every citizen and
every village would hoard food to
themselves. You would be interdicted
from movement outside of your own
ward or village or from assembly in
any manner without permission. Your
railways would be taken over for mill
itary purposes All communication
would cease with the outside world
Your post, the telegraph and the
telephone would be suppressed. Your
factories would be closed and half
your people rendered destitute over
night through their loss Of wage and
income. Your normal newspapers and
periodic press would be suppressed.
