Prices, although steady at the close, were 511 to 6tto down as compared with ast night. Other net losses were: Corn, 3U to 4c: oats. to le, and provisions generally 20 to 67HC Regardless of how disturbing war news became today, wheat plunged down grade. The action of exporters in refusing to make any ocean shipments whatever, unless for spot cash In advance, proved more impor tant by far as a market Influence than the mobilization of millions of soldiers. A rad ical lowering of quotations at Liverpool be fore trading began here tended also to cool off bullish enthusiasts. Nervousness over several failures In New York and because of the threatened diffi culty In the financial settlement of July speculative contracts in Chicago, waa effect ually dispelled by one of the largest and strongest houses here offering to assist any firm likely to be unable to meet obliga tions at tha Board of Trade Clearing-House. Only in minor instances were there 'calls for help.- Rallies In prices, thougn, were small after the first hour and at no time durlna the day were of a lasting sort. In the corn market, the weakness ot wheat more than offset the effect of an urcent Eastern demand for corn for do mestic distribution. It was found that un der war conditions. Argentine Imports could no longer be depended on. but shippers had no difficulty in obtaining liberal supplies here. "T Oats. like corn, felt tha depression over shadowing wheat. StOD loss selling led to a sharp drop In provisions until oackers came to the sup port of the market.

Officials of the Pa cific Telephone A Telegraph Company announced before the City Commission yesterday that the request of the Com mission for the granting of four-party service with 30 outgoing calls a month for a rate of $1-60 a month and 3 cents each for additional calls has been granted. An order has been issued by the company putting; the new rate Into effect at once. It is announced that a number of .applications for the new service have been received and the tel ephones will be installed as soon as possible. The new class of service is to be tried out for the benefit of persons having only limited use for tele phones. In the company's fran chise is a provision for ten-party service at il.60 a month, which service was abandoned by the company several years ago because it was not a success. The Council has insisted that the company establish a service equally as good and at the same rate as that abandoned, and the measured service has been decided upon as the best solution of the problem. The rate has been approved by the State Rail road Commission. Under the measured service there will be four parties on a line. Any one of the four can be heard on the line hn others, but each -patron will be able to hear therin of the bell ot only one omer pany fh. lino tvia nrran&rement in this re spect is the same as the present four- party unlimited service raieu month.
