The British freighter Laleham mes
saged that she was rolling almost
east of Halifax. All Of her lifeboats
had been carried away by the storm
and water in the holds was gaining
steadily, the message stated.
The Laleham is of 25z5 tons and
carries crew of about % men. She
was bound from Newport News to
Ipswich, England.
Shortly after the distress call was
received Captain Arthur H. Rostron,
of the Cunard liner Mauretania, wire

gave his position as abou. 180 miles
distant and said that under ordinary

oats &c to %c off and provisions un-
changed to 80 cents higher.
About the only support for the wheat
market most of the time came from
buying to collect a profit on previous
sales. However, some demand from
mills, exporters and foreigners helped
to bring about something of a rally at
the last. Aggressive selling earlier
was partly induced by the fact that
Chicago quotations were relatively

shipments out of Russia, 976,000 bush

With Canadian wheat offered cheaper
than United States wheat, and with
larger yields of wheat in Canada than
had been looked for, buyers heres lack
ed any immediate incentive. Word Of
improved threshing returns in various
parts of the domestic spring wheat ter
ritory, counted also as a weight on the
wheat. France, though, was reported
to have purchased some new Canadian
wheat for November shipment.
On the other hand, some selling of
wheat to go into store here was noted.
Further posting of corn here as out
of condition contributed to the weak
ness of corn and oats. All deliveries of
oats touched a new low price record
for the season. Provisions were re-
sponsive to "a sharp upturn in hog val
