Don't Take Our
Word for It
We May Be
Prejudiced
but the U. S. Ikpui uncnt of
Agriculture Is not prejudiced.
It Is absolutely the highest
authority obtainable on all
matters pertaining to farm- .
lng and stock raising. The
last Year Book says:
"There Is one section
that can produce more
cattle, and produce
them more cheaply
than any other section
of the whole cauntry,
for lands are still
cheap, grazing is good,
the pasture season Is
long, feeds can be pro
duced at a minimum
cost. This section of
the country Is the
south."
For location, transportation
facilities, character of soil,
we believe our P.ice Creek,
Putnam County, Florida,
tract, the best undeveloped
tract of land in the south.
We have cleaned up our
timber operations and are
offering the land at prices
that Insure sale at sight.
Our lands are equally
adapted to trucking, small
farming, yarge farming, hog,
cattle and sheep raising.
If you are prejudiced, take
the U. t. Department of
Agriculture's word for It. and
Investigate. This is all we

who have been d throned at losses, are
now standlim around awaitinx for a
layoiaide opening mi hot- than to plunge
wlldlv as was the case a wwk or ten
daa since. The news from tlie Darda
nel.ea was more assuring to the Im; ort
ln nations, Insurant e rates were lilnner
ami there was additional t;ilk of an em
bargo being pieced on the exportation of
toodstulis. which, with the fears of a
blockr.de of belligerent ports, placed the
tears In control of the brradstuffs situa

even on the decline shown.
It waa reported that the seaboard
transactions were g .tiot bu wheat ami
l.oo.uu bu. oats, but at Chicago there
ivere only 10,o bu. wheat sold, and this
was taken by millers.
There was an extremely heavy tone In
the corn market Htid this fact proved to
be a bearish factor in wheat, as well as
In oats. It was retorted here soon after
the i enlng yesterday that the hollers
of corn Ht the seaboard were endeavoring
to resell at prices considerably below the.
cost of new shipments, which caused
large and continued cales by longs as
well as shorts. In this market. There was
considerable business In both corn and
outs In the wav of undoing "spreads
between the tvo grains, some of which
showed handsome profits.
Provisions were lower. Cash trade con
ditions were a little more favorable, but
there was heavv selling by longs and

Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAOO. Feb. 26. Whest prices col
lapsed nearly Sc today under excited sell
ing, every fort reported destroyed at the
Dardanelles costing wheat owners at the
rate of about 2c a bushel. Broadly, this
was the estimate temporarily put on the
chances that 2u0,000.000 bushels of Russian
wheat would soon have a free outlet. The
market, however, made several Important
rallies, and at the finish was unsettled, 3c
to 4V under last night. Corn closed Tie
to V'fle down, and oats off HWHc to 4f
Tc. Provisions wound up at an advance
of 2Hf(f&c low to 10fad2VtO.
Floods of selling orders overwhelmed
the wheat pit as soon as the opening gong
struck. No notice at the moment ap
peared to be taken of the circumstance
that forty miles of defenses were yet to
be shattered before the strongest forts
of the Dardanelles, not to mention the
Turkish fleet, would be encountered on
the way to Constantinople. The majority
bv far of traders assumed that the Brit
ish would succeed In accomplishing the
enterprise with a speed which until now
has not been looked for.

that iSOv.Ot) bushels hail been disposed of

Corn, dragged down by wheat, tumbled
to within about :tc a bushel of the price

market became more robust, aided prin
cipally by Kaltlmore advices of Mm

weak as corn, but foreigners afterward
took l.H0CM bushels In the east, and the
market here grew relatively stronger In

In spite of the fact that It was so late
In the week there was a reasonably gootl
demand for beef steers and prices were
fully stendy with yesterday. This means
that the market on the more desirable
heavy and well finished beeves Is 2AS40c
higher than a week ago, with the fair
to medium rattle of all weights and the
good to choice light cattle lM2ftc higher.

that the Chicago market Is hardly In a

was In England.
According to the lawyer, Captain Roy-Ed
In a talk with Captain Btegler In the
German club of this city, had agreed to
pay Mrs. Stegler $150 a month while
Stegler was In England and had further
more agreed, should the British discover
his mission and he meet the same fate
as Lndy, to pay Mrs, Stegler $150 a month
so long as she lived.
Captain Boy-Ed denied all the state
ments alleged to have been made by
Ftogler.
Denial of Captain Itoy-F.d.
The naval attache said he had tried to
obtain employment for Btegler and had
advanced him money on account of trav
eling exienseo because he thought he
could place him with a friend In Ger
many who wanted a good linguist. Later,
Captain Boy-Ed continued, ha had de
cided that Stegler was not a suitable
person for the position he had In mind
and had asked Btegler to return the
money advanced. This Btegler had not
done, Captain Roy-Ed said.
"The Impression that Stegler wishes to
create," Captain Boy-Ed added, "that tlii
real Intention of his trip waa to act aa a
spy tor the German government Is false."
Roger B. Wood, the assistant United
States district attorney, who la present
ing the case to the federal grand Jury,
said:
"This department will get to the bot
tom of whatever there la to get to the
bottom of. The rest of the work, If there
la any to be done. Is up to the authori
ties at Washington."
Mr. Griffiths gave out this afternoon
what he said were further details of
Stegler's confession. He said that
Btegler had refused to accept the mis
sion which llol-Kd had asked him to un
dertake In England as a spy, because he
learned that he was to he made use of
as "dummy" to deceive the English and
that the real spy In the rase was to be
another man.
Stegler's original Instructions were that
he was to find out the number of British
ships In St. George's channel and all the
Information of the naval situation that
he could, then take a boat to Rotterdam,
proceed tc the German border, there meet
some German officers to whom he was
to make himself known by a secret num
ber, deliver his Information and then re
turn to America. Stegler said he had re
ceived explicit Instructions in the case
from Bol-Ed. I'pon discovering that a
second man was to follow In his foot
steps and having heard that Carl Iody
had met Ills fate In the operation of this
two-men spy system, he declined to go.
".Stegler said further that the second
msn In the case, who had gone on the
Franconla, and previous to his departure
had asked l.tm for his passports, Btegler
also was told that lady's wife, an Amer
ican woman now living In Omaha, had
received $15,000 from the German govern
ment as compensation for the death of
her husband."
Mr. Griffiths added that Btegler had
told him the name of the alleged spy, who
had gone over on the Franconla.

BRADIII RRKT'I TR ADE, REVIEW
Railway tlrdera Are Showing I p
Better Than Before.
NEW YOHK, Keb. 2.-3rsdstreet to
morrow will say:
Renewed expansion In trade, especially
In the southwest, further speeding up lu
Industrial operations and excellent ad
vices as to winter wheat gu hand In hand'
with optimism, which, however. Is tem
pered by conservative buying. There la
no disposition to speculate as to the fu
ture. With war orders furnishing activity
to a number of lines, idleness has de
creased: many munitions plants are work
ing double time: ship building yards face
many months of activity: automobile
shops, especially those making commer
cial cars for use In the European war
one, are speeding up, and certain
branches of the machine tool Indun.ry
are swamped with war orders.
Hallway earnings are showing up bet
ter, and January reports, taken collect
ively, are likely to play more pleasing
views.
Bank clearings for the week (five days)
aggregate $2,foii.4i6,0ii0, a decrease of 7.H
per cent as compared with the like week
last year.
HiiHlncm failures for the week were 4u).
compared with Sno last year. In Cunnda
commercial failures number lifty-nltic.
against forty-nine a year ago.
