On tha whole, the mar ket was Inclined to bo easier, with Chicago off a centa for the day and S centa for two daa. Thla Inspired the selllni. but the temand was sufficient to absorb most of iho offerincs. The Dardanelles story, which broke th Chlcaso market, was not taken aerlously here, aa the tone of private cables waa directly contradictory to the possibility of an early opening of the Dardanelles to Russian wheat commerce. There waa not only the strongest kind of European demand lor wheat, but for barley-ana oata aa wen. The latest cabin received Indicated that .England would take wheat cargoea. half club and half bluestem, al very close to 60s. Authentic news from tae Sound waa that lo.ooo tons of oats had been sold for ahip m.nt to KuroDo from the Northern porta. This deal was worked several daya ago. and It explains the sharp advance scored In the oata market In the meantime. Buying for th above account has been carried on wherever oats hive been offered for sale and business has been put through aa high as $Zi In this and oilier marketa.

Jan. 11. Wild selling of wheat resulted todaa from reports that the fleets OI lngmna Hlja r ranee- were successiuuy breaking; through the Turkish defenses of the Dardanelles. After a downward plunge of fito from the top figures of the day, the market closed restless at 3o to 3Hc under Saturday night. Other leading staples, too, all finished at a decided setback, corn U4c to lculc oats lc to 154o and pro visions 134c to 4750c Uncertainty a9 to the outcome of the dif ficulties between Turkey and Italy tended to make fltgbtlness the characteristic today of the trade in wheat. At the outset the general temper waa bearish, but offerings were quickly absorbed by strong Interests. As a result prices took a swift upturn, but the effect failed to last and a decided re action ensued. After opening He to c lower, the market rallied to as much as lc above Saturday night's level and later lota nearly ail the gain. Severe censorship of cables kept dealers here much at sea until after midday. Then the market dropped 5c or more from earlier figures, owlntr to rumors that the forts at the Dar danelles were giving way to the allies and that immense stores or Kussian wneat wouio soon be available for Western Europe. The close wan unsettled at 3 to 3c net decline. Corn suffered from hedging pressure, due to large receipts here and a result of the visible supply reaching a Digger total tnau at any time In the previous to years. Oats ranged lower With other grain. Watch was kept chteriy on corn. Packers and discouraged speculative hold ers let go of provisions. Some little support that developed was based to some extent on a belief that the breaking in hog prices would check the big movement of hogs to market. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT.

Mar vin, secretary of the National Asso ciation of "Woolen Manufacturers, in a statement today said he had no infor mation to support the British claim that wool or woolens had been export ed to Germany or Austria by New Eng land dealers since the embargo on Australian merino -wool was modified. "I cannot say that no wool was ex ported." he said, "but I know of no such shipments. Since the beginning; of the war there have been shipments of wool to Canada and the - United Kingdom from Boston. This material was of a kind adapted to the making of military uniforms and was presum ably used for that purpose, that Is, for the clothing of the allied armies. "The only shipment of wool to Ger many of which I am aware was 1000 bales conveyed by the steamer Caro lina, which loaded raw cotton at a Southern port and called at Boston for the wool a month ago on her way to Bremen. "Raw wool, 'like cotton. Is non-contraband, and this shipment was en tirely legitimate. That occurred be fore the modification of the Australian embargo." Praise for Aa Anlher.

"I would recommend that every one in the employ of tha state whose offi cial duties call him outside of the state be required to secure the written con sent of the Governor, that the Gover nor fix the maximum amount for which the state shall be held liable, and that the official or employe shall accompany his claim for traveling expenses outside of the state with such written consent and authorization of the Governor."
