Conditions Considered Dangerous by
Many Traders Corn Reaches
Highest Mark Since 1867.
. Chicago Speculation has gone wild
in everything, especially In foodstuffs,
with grains taking the lead. There
has never been anything like the spec
ulative buying and advancing tendency
of values, as shown in the wheat mar
ket of late.
A 13-cent advance in 24 hours Was
followed by an eight-cent break and
a 12-cent bulge. To see December
wheat sell at $1.90 in Chicago, $1.97J
in Minneapolis, $1.85 in Kansas City,
$1.89! in Winnipeg, and $2,021 for
durum wheat in Duluth, and $2.08 for
the cash article of the latter variety
in Minneapolis is something that the
grain trade of today has never experi
enced. Predictions of $2 wheat at Chicago,
which were not expected to be realized
before next March or April, may be
come a reality this week, unless some
thing develops to check the bullish en
thusiasm and the heavy volume of buy
ing, despite the fact that prices have
more than doubled within about a
year. , Wheat prices are the highest
since 1888, when the market was ar
tificial. Present prices are legitimate,
as prices the world over are abnor
mally high. ' So long as nothing de
velops to disturb the confident feeling
existing among holders, there is no
telling how high prices may go. The
level, however, is getting bo high,
with the market a long one, that it is
regarded as dangerous by many trad
ers. .
The high prices are bringing out
liberal quantities of wheat, as ideas of
farmers are met by the advance and
interior reserves are being reduced,
while the visible supply is increasing.
There is a general impression in the
trade that the bulk of the cash Decem
ber wheat in the United States and
Canada is owned by foreigners and ex
porters. They are expected to take a
delivery of the cash grain in Decem
ber.
Cash corn sold up to $1,121 for No.
2 yellow last week, or the highest
since 1867. Corn at $1 a bushel and
over looks high by comparison, but
with wheat above $1.90 it is not out
of line.

ALLIES DEVELOP OWN RESOURCES;
. BECOME INDEPENDENT Of U. S.
New York The necessity for the
United States to show a proper appre
ciation of the business received in-the
way of war orders from the entente al
lies is the subject of a statement is
sued here Tuesday by Henry P. Davi
son, of J. P. Morgan & Co., detailing
his impressions of the financial and
military situation that he found on his
recent trip to Great Britain and
France. He returned Monday from
England, after having assisted in the
arrangement of the new $300,000,000
British loan. '
t "It is perfectly clear that if we re
gard Great Britain and France as de
sirable customers and wish to continue
to sell them our products," the state
ment says in part, "we must treat
them as a producer usually treats a de
sirable customer, in which event I am
confident we will continue to supply
them largely, not only during the war,
but for tbe reconstruction period
which will follow.
"Great Britain and France have not
only carried on the war on the West
ern front, but have at the same time
developed their own manufacturing re
sources in a way which surpasses be
lief, so that today they find themselves
well equipped and in a position to pro
vide not only for themselves, but in a
large degree to assist their allies.
"In stating this I do not mean to
imply that there are not many things
they will require from us, as they did
before the war, and will after. I do
mean that there are many supplies
which they would rather purchase
from us than produce at home, reserv
ing the resources required for such
production for other purposes to their
better advantage. The point is that
today their position is one of indepen
dence compared with that of two years
ago." 1
Loss of Life May Reach 200;
Greek Naval Officers Bitter
Athens The torpedoing of the
Greek steamer Angheliki on Saturday
near Piraeus, with many Greeks
aboard, was carried but without warn
ing, it is said here. This action is be
lieved to indicate that since the cap
ture of Constanza the German sub
marines have obtained a new supply of
benzine, enabling them to resume
operations in the Mediterranean.
Greek naval officials are particularly
bitter that the attack seems to have
been made within Greek territorial
waters, only a few miles from Salami,
where a formidable allied fleet has
been stationed since September 1. '
Tbe loss of life is now said to reach
200, though the full number aboard the
Angheliki is not known. The subma

All "Eats" Climb Higher Every Day,
Tacoma The unprecedented rise in
food prices continued Wednesday, with
potatoes and flour the chief features.
Potatoes advanced $3 a ton and flour
40 cents a barrel. Yakima potatoes
are now $40 a ton and locals $35, and
indications are that the rise is not at
the highest point yet Jobbers say
that the price of potatoes will not be
lower until next August and that they
will probably go higher. The New
York sugar market advanced 10 cents
and the effect is expected to be felt
here in a day or so. Mr. Ultimate
Consumer will have to tighten up his
belt another notch.
Grapes arrived in large quantities
from California. The Yakima Con
cords are off the market due to a
heavy frost The late California
grapes include the wine- and black
grapes. Some of the jobbers are giv
ing the wine grapes other names be
cause some of the purchasers fear the
officers of the law will be on their trail
as liquor manufacturers if it is known
they bought wine grapes. The grapes
are arriving in lug boxes, which sell
at 65 cents. A few boxes of peaches
may still be found on the market.
California head lettuce is now on the
market
The fish market is flooded with dark
fall salmon. The run of these fish this
year is very heavy, forcing down the
jobbing price to 6J cents a pound.
As usual halibut and small nsh are
scarce. The meat market shows
firm tone, with tendency to advance.
Eggs, butter and cheese prices remain
unchanged.
All kinds of canned goods have gone
up with the general advance, especially
condensed milk. Wholesalers have re
ceived notice that both Carnation and
Astor brands were oversold and no
more orders could be received for some
time. Mount Vernon brand advanced
10 cents on the strength of this and
the tone of the market
Yakima Shippers Demand Cars.
North Yakima Yakima shippers
telegraphed railroad companies Wed
nesday notifying them of their Inten-
lon to begin offering consignments of
fruit and to resort to the courts if re
fused. They demand cars to relieve
the shortage. H. M. Gilbert wired the
Interstate Commerce commission that
the Northern Pacific and O.-W. R. &
N. assert Eastern roads are holding
their refrigerator cars for shipment
of all kinds of merchndise, even. salt
and asking the commission to compel
delivery of these cars.
Hop Market Has Slowed Down.
Portland The hop market has quiet
ed down at all points on the Coast A
small amount of business was reported
in Oregons at 6 to 11 cents, according
to quality. The Kentish Observer says
of the English hop market: "Trade
during the past week has been fairly
steady. A demand has developed for
coloury samples of new English hops,
which are not so plentiful as desired,
and sales have been effected at im
proving prices, ranging from 120s to
140s per cwt The lower grades have
been freely offered at 90s to 106s.
Roads Held Responsible.
North Yakima -- Shippers of the
Yakima valley met recently and decid
ed to servo notice on the O.-W. rail
way company and the N. P. that they
intended to tender their fruit for ship
ment and then hold the railroads re
sponsible if it cannot be shipped for
lack of cars. It is believed that there
are over 4000 ears of apples yet to be
shipped while it ia almost impossible
to get refrigerator cars enough. Fruit
is coming in from the orchards at the
rata of six ears daily for ever; one

When to Begin
If we all had our lives to live over
again
If we might start afresh and anew,
What a joy it would be for us women
and men,
And what wonderful things we
should do!
How straight we should walk and how
wise we should talk;
How cheerful we'd be and how gay
But If we're In earnest about pur re
forms, -Why
don't we begin them today T
We feel that we'd never be foolish and
fling .
All our strength and our labor away,
And we'd readily do each commend
able thing,
Without either profit or pay.
But If we're so keen at reform to be
seen,
If we're pining to enter the fray,
The question arises with pertinence
now
Why don't we get busy today?
The days that are gone are most thor
oughly gone,
We can't bring them back if we try;
But the days that are coming roll
steadily on.
And no one can ever tell why.
Unless it should be they're to help you
and me
Do sensible things while we may,
They'll certainly help us to live over
our lives.
If we start put to do it today.

"Poor laddie," said the lady to the
hotel lift boy, "don't you find this
work rather trying and monotonous?"
"No fear, missus! I like it. It's
full of excitement. First of all, there's
always the funny people coming in
and out. Then there's other things.
"Only yesterday a man tried to get
out before the lift ' was down and
cracked his skull. Then last week the
machine broke, and the thing came
straight down from the sixth floor to
the hottom, and everybody was hurt

do If It doesn't, 'cos the engine man
is away ill today, and 'is mate's just
joined up, and I'm in charge of every
thing and I don't know nothing about
it. So It ain't really what you could
call a dull life, is it?" London An
