In the-United Statea In the flrat year of
the European war seven plants were oper

H3.600.OOO. Five years later there were
90 plants In the United Statee whoe
entire product was valued at a little
under 1100,000,000. The exposition should
furnish Information which will be ot
value when the dyestuffs clause In the
new tariff bill la under consideration, be

to congress good proof of the
advance which the Amerloan dyeetuff In

this industry is threatened by Germany It
may be so aerlously threatened aa to de

will be an ever Increasing Industry mak

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chlreao Tribune-Omaha Re Leased M ire,
Chicago, Sept. 28, New low
figures on the present downturn
were made for wheat today,. as the
result of general selling which found
the market poorly supported, and
while there was a fair bulge at one
time on short covering in sympathy
with the strength in Winnipeg, the
finish was at the bottom to l-4c
over, with net losses of 2 1-4m2 1-2c,
Corn sold at a new low on the crop
and finished 7-8l 7-8c lower, with
September leading, while oats were
off 5-8(a3-4c and rye 1 l-2&2 3-8c,
Bullish cash news has apparently
lost its effect on the market and
while there was evidence toward the
last that considerable export busi
ness'was under way at the seaboard,
it failed to bring in new buying. A
Creek order for 1,300.000 bushels,
was filled during the day and it is
understood that the house that made
the sale anticipated the order and
bought futures at Chicago lucsday
and sold them out today, replacing
the hedge by purchases at Winnipeg
October, which closed only 7-8c
lower.
Turkey In Market.
. A little domestic wheat was reported
fo have been sold abroad, although New
York claimed that hard winter afloat
was oxrored 11 cents under a replacement
cost. A-cargo uf No. 2 hard on passage
sold at equal to 11.38 and one ior Oc
tober shipment at 11.41, both sales be
ing under a parity with prices at the
gulf. Turkey was reported asking for
briers or wheat at the seaboard.
Further rains In tho American and Ca
nadian northwest failed to stimulate buy
ing and Minneapolis September closed
2c lower, with the leading holder there
a persistent seller In small lots, while
elevator Interests sold December freely.
It Is expected that receipts of spring
wheat will increase considerably next
week unless weather conditions become
very, unfavorable,
The forecast wa for unsettled and
colder both sides of the international line.
The best support In wheat came from
holders of bid and from shorts who were
taking prolfts. The market was a shade
firmer at the- opening, but selling ordercs
quickly appeared and December was down
to 11,20 at the Inside, closing at 11.20
lo 11.21. The break In marks to a new
low with predictions that there would he
a financial crash there Is said to have
.a great eirect on aentiment.
Corn Market Weak.
Corn developed Independent weakness
nnd all' deliveries declined to a new low
bn the crop. Liquidation was on and
wnne tnere was ratner persistent buying
of September and selling of December by
u leading elevator interest early, the un
dertone was weak from the start. Con
tract grades of mixed and white corn
declined to 1 ' cent under the December
at tho last, with country offerings much
larger.
Oats followed corn and -closed at tho
bottom, with a limited trade. North
western Interests were on the selling side
of rye while the buying was mainly of a
local character. Export bids were re
ported as out of line. No. 2 track sold
at l2c over the September.
While lard closed 25c lower, there
was limited pressure on the deferred de
liveries with houses with eastern connec
tions fair buyers, which offset the effect
of the break in grains to a groat extent.
A little liquidation was in evidence In
October. -
Ribs were 12o lower. Hogs advanced
with the fresh meat trade a factor. Ex
port interest is light.
Pit Note.
Pynchon and company had a cable
from London saying wheat trade was
broadening, with this cereal easier to
trade in. Dec-ember Is selling about f 1.45
In our money.
Montreal wired that exporters were buy
ing wheat futures against export flour
s,ales.
The weekly weather and crop report
from Washington waa a little unfavorable
on corn and said wheat seeding had made
slow progress. Seeding of winter wheat
Is beginning later than usual ID most
sections.
A Nebraska mill reports that It is
carrying the biggest stocks of wheat In
many years, with plenty of offering and
that it is also' paying storage on flour
manufactured and waiting sale.
Deliveries on September contracts were
317,000 bushels wheat, 311,000 bushels
corn, 103,000 bushels oats and 20,000
bushels rye. The wheat being delivered
is iv o. 2 yellow nara ana it aia not ap
pear to be lodging In strong hands.
A New Yorok message said tho Times
had a cable story this morning saying
that the Swiss government had decided
to buy all cereal supplies from Roumanla
Instead of the United States, owing to the
high value of United Statea exchange and
the low value of Roumanian exchange. It
has been decided to grant credits to
Roumanla repayable In cereals, the first
deliveries of which will be made shortly.

.New York, Sept. 28. Prices in the
stock market today drifted toward
lower levels and a timilar recession
took place in the bond market. With
traditift in small volume, the play of
prices was again in the hands of the
professionals and while tlicir endeav
ors were concentrated at certain
times during the day to bring about
sharp declines, the market held an
undertone of strength and at the
close changes for the most part were
in fractions.
In the case of both bonds and
stocks, it appears that another period
of quietude is succeeding the recent
upturn. Jn bonds, at any rate, there
is considerable profit taking for the
rise in this quarter has been compar
atively steady since July. Further
more, the putting out of such nu
merous new flotations as have come
forth in recent weeks has served to
limit the power of absorption to
sonic degree and this naturally fiiu's
reflection in quotations for the older
securities.
Heaviness (ienerul.
The heaviness In stocks lodny was not
rnnfliied to any p-irilt-itlar Kruup, but on
the contrary, embraced tit entire list.
IniluUluK the rails. It will be recalled
that when the trunsportutlon act vns
brought into belntr. tllro was a violent
upturn In tiuotatluns fur the storks of
the so-called weaker roads. This was
bused on the prospect that niergera would
be aided financially.
KiH-ommeii'lntions that tho roads of the
countrv be merged Into 13 systems were
made t'.'Ony at W'ashiiiKton. This hews
failed to find the least reflection in the
stock market, even though it was in part,
at least. In lino with what the earlier
boom in the low-prkcd rails has been
built upon. This was not strange, in the
light of developments us they havo como
tn pass, for it is clear that a question
of merger with relation to the railroada
Is now cf decidedly academio quality.
Mur'.s Aguln Slump.
In the foreign exchange market, marks
again played their usual role of declining;
to a new loW level. Early In the day they
sold at 0.78. rallied a bit later on and
then closed at 0.79.
As has been" the case recently, the
other nild-contlnental rates were he.avv
in sympathy with marks. Possibly some
