GRAIN.

Chicago, Sept. 21.-Wheat had a
downward tendency in price today
during the early dealings. Liverpool
and Winnipeg quotations having gone
lower and no word of any actual fight
ing at the Dardanelles being at hand.
The fact that export business on this
side Of the Atlantic continued mod
crate and that most of the total was
restricted to wheat grown in Canada
did a good deal also to check bullish
sentiment. Active profit taking on the
part Of yesterdays buyers was notice
able. The opening which ranged from
1-2 decline to 1-8 advance, with Dec.
LOG 1-2 to LOT, and May ITO 5-S to
ITO 7-8, was followed by a material
setback all around and then a mod
crate rally.
Corn and oats eased down with
wheat. After opening Ia off to 1.S up,
Dec. So 3-S to So ga, the corn mar
ket underwent a general decline.
Oats started 1-S lower to a like ad-
weakened in all deliveries.
Provisions were frmer. responding
to an upturn in hog values.
Signing of the Capper-Tincher bill
had no apparent effect on values:
late cable dispatches were construed
as less r~eassuring as to the peace
outlook, but failed to- stimulate much
buying. The close was unsettled, rs
net lower to 1-2 advance, with Deem
Der LOS 3-s to los IL and May ITO

Quintet Proves Best Of Week
Comedies To-day.

The lecture Wednesday evening at
Chautauqua was by far the best single
feature OF the weeks program so far.
DR.. Andrew II. Harnly's discussion OF
the topic Making Democracy Safe for
the World" was the typo OF lecture cal
culated to accomplish something real
ly worth while on the Chautauqua
platform. Although he spoke over his
time, the large audience could have
heard him much longer.
The concert by the Cleveland Sym
phony Quintet both in the afternoon
and evening pleased the music lovers
OF the community. II was really high
class music rendered by real musi-
clans.
Thursday Is play Day" at the Chau-
tauqua and this year the famous Ruth
Whitworth Players will have the
boards and present two comedies. In
the afternoon the title of the play will
be Fixing Father" and at night the
show will be "Matrimony." AS a usual
thing these play-days at Chautauqua
are the biggest days OF the entire week
Single admissions always take a great
jump on these days as visitors come
from all OF the adjoining counties for
this big feature.

PEACE PARLEYS
OF COAL Miners
AT cleveland
Break In Ranks of Owners and Opera
tors Seen on the Eve of Great Meet
ing to Discuss Present Coal
Strike Situation.

Cleveland, Aug. 10. - Peace negoti-
ations we're to open here late today,
between miner leaders and minority
coal operators Of the central competi-
tive field without the insurgents of
Illinois, Indiana and western Pennsyl-
vania.
The insurgents who are holding out
for wage agreements at the mines or
in small districts will not be urged
further to take part in the negotia-
tions.
AS the time for the conference ap-
preached it was apparent the ranks Of
the operators were split, while the
miners maintained a solid front.
Powerful organizations of operators
in four districts threaten to break over
the wage negotiations here.
They are the organizations of Indi-
and the Southwest Coal Operators
Association.
Usually the labor ranks have
broken because of The pinch of neces-
sity. This time, labor appears to hold
the whip hand.
1t became apparent today that
neither miners nor operators knew
how much tonnage was represented
here. Estimates varied between 50,-
100000 and 1OO,OOOOOO tons.
