Developments In the railroad controversy
ruled wheat throughout the session. Lowest
prices were touched during the nrst half OF
the day. when the market was most af-
fected by news OF tho strike edict and by
subsequent notices of widespread embargoes
on freight Even then. however, declines
were only moderate. as chances appeared
open that a way yet would be found to
prevent the clash. Numerous traders freely
pressed the selling side Of the market. but
the bulls wero far from being stampeded,
and were able about midday to force a gem
eral covering movement, which, In some
cases lifted quotations SC up from the low
est point Of tho informing. The chief basis
for tho rally was report that President

important subjects as the revolution In
