A leading Eastern authority aay tha pree
.nt high price of lorprnttna Is daa to tha
fact thai unfavorable mrcath.r conditions
caused conjld.rabla damage to tha crop of
last year, which necessarily haa brought
about a dearth of supply. Ha makes lha
following statrm.nl:
Tha turpentine season begins abont In
April, and last year at that tlma there
wara frosts In Florida and Georgia, where
tha trees from whlrh wa get tho tnrpantlna
grew. severe rainstorms also wasbad away
tta crude product gathered In tha cups, and
whan It cams lo distilling tha staff It was
found that tharn was llttla turpentine left.
-Vs cave now reached about tha and of tha
season, and thera Is no telling how tha now
crop will turn out. As for tha - prnaant
situation. I think tha market baa marnly
raspondad to trade conditions of supply and
demand, and tha Man prices wtrt to ba
expected. I do not believe that any such
thine as -manipulation' la responsible for
currant quotatlone.
Tha h!n prlca of eptrlta of turpentlna
haa led to tha purrhass on a tares seals of
substitute products, such as wood turpen
tine. Throughout tba East, many ratall
dealers, who do a small business, and tbosa
who are unreliable. hae bean In tha habit
of 'adulterating thair turpentine with ben-
lne or kerosene, and hare sold wood tur
pentlna for the spirits of turpentine; but In
recent months this practice la said to have
become more common, painting contractors
and deeorat-rrs. who made contracts for
work long before turpentine reached Its
present high level, bare found It Imperative
t resort to substitutes In order to a Told
financial losses. It Is not expected to get
spirits oft nrpentln at 3J" rents a gallon
tha lowest price on record (September 4.
K3e) atUL anything above 0 cents Is con
sidered rather exorbitant."

CHICAiiO, Jan. SO. Confronted with Ar
gentine shipments, doubls those of lsst year

wheat market today turned nervous and
weak. Latest figures showed a net loss of
He He to HtTHc. Corn closed He to He

It was announced that Argentina wheat
shipments for January to date were 3.000.
1HH bushels more than for the entire month
corresponding In 1910. In this connection
authoritative figures were expected to show
that world shipments hsd averagad 13.140,-
000 bushels a week and that only 10.S23.00O
bushels avorags would bs required for ths
remainder of ths sesson. Russia and tho
Danublan ports havs been shipping at the
rats of more than 4.000.000 bushela a week.
At the same Urns the new crops of Argen
tina as well as Australia and India have not
yet been touched. Domestic developments
also appeared to favor chiefly the bcara.

Bank of England Bate Reduced.
LONDON, Jan. 24. After a prolonged dis
cussion, ths directors of the Bank of Eng
land today reduced the bank rate from 4
to 4 per cent. This action was unexpected
In view of the present stringency in the
money msrket, which recently hardened pri
vate discounts; but svldently the directors
were guided to their decision by the fact
thst they hsve sbsoluts control of the money
market through the time collections and
will be able to make tho 4 per cent rats
effective.
When the bank returns ara published the
reserve probably will show a good Increase.
Discount rates at foreign centers are also
lower than in London, and thera Is an ab
sence of foreign gold demsnd. - It Is be
lieved that the Indian requirements are less
Sresslng and probably this helped to bring
own the minimum rate.
