CHICAGO GRAIN AND PHOTUIOIVa
Kea tares af the Trad I a a; sal Cloalaa;
I'rleee nn Board of Trad.
CHICAGO, Nov. .-Predlctlone of . a
lllwral Increase of the visible supply total
on Monday gave an advantage todav to
the hears In wheat, and so also did a
anod deal of the wild guessing ahot the
reasons for the departure of Earl Kitch
ener from London. The market cloeed
unsettled at the same a yesterday fin
bI to Ho lower, with leoemler at II.IHU
uUV and May at ll.us4.
Corn closed a shade oit to V4ftio up:
oals at 1-lbo down to a like advance, and
j.roviirfons unchanged to 5c higher.
Announcements that primary receipt
of wheat today amounted to l,od0,00u bush
els more than on the coiresimndlng; day
a year ago had much to do with niaklnn
the bulls uneasy In resard to the extent
of the prospective etilargnnkont ot the
United btates visible supply figure.
big total for the preceding day of the
week, with, estimate that Chicago and
K annas City would each have as many
a 600 carload arriving Monday acted a
a further discouragement for holders,
who were also hanulrapped by surmise
current that .nr Kitchener mlKht at
tend a peace conference in Bwltxerland.
The uncertainty a to his real mission,
left the way open for a variety of other
rumprs, too, that In some degree tended
to have a bearish effect on the market
la'e In the session.
Iteports that the French government
had bought 1.000,000 barrel of flour In the
United Stales furnished strength to
wheat throughout most of the first half
of the day. Forecast of unsettled
weather likely to Interfere with receipt
j. roved also of aome effect toward lifting
irit-s. but the Influence failed to last,
being offset by complaint that the win
ter crop southwest waa In need of rain.
Corn averas-ed hlkher a a result of
bullish crop reports from Iowa and ow
ing: to export demand ty way of the gulf.
'1 he market, however, reflected somewhat
the late weakness la wheat.
oats continued to keep firm within a
narrow range. Export Inquiry waa good.
Active buying of lard helped provision
upgrade as a whole. Tank lard, whUh
ma long ago could not be sold except at
under the January option, was at a
tllrcount today of only 4ic.

To Use the Quota
System to Raise
' English Troops
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
LONDON, Oct J6.-Th quota system
which Lord Kitchener la said to advocate
a a compromise between the present
voluntary enlistment gystcm and con
scription I a historic method of raising
troop, for it exlated In EJigland from
Saxon time down to th year 18S3. it
la now merely, suspended, not dead.
By th quota gystem. Great Britain
would be divided Into military district,
each of which 1 required to send It
quota of a required number of recruit.
It I a' form of compulsion, but a demo
cratic form that tood th teat of eight
centuries. IU spec 14 merit ars it ap
peal to local patriotism and It civil
control. Each locality ha the power to
enforce enlistment If other means fail,
but a lara; number of additional volun-'
tary recruit will be found Juat because
the affair I managed by th clvU au
thorities and th appeal la mor personal
and less emotional than by th military
recruiting with their band and apeech
maklng actor.
There are many statute on th English
book relating to the quota ayatero.
which can b enforced at any time by
an order of the Privy eouncU with the
approval of Parliament Some change
wr mad from th old method In 1757
when the various counties were In
structed to proportion their quota among
th varioua parishes where the men, in
caae of neceaslty, were to be chosen by
ballot Thla law placed the ase of
aervloe from 18 to 80 years, exempting
aU man with more than one child born
In wedlock. Force for the Napoleonic
war were thus raised. In 12S2 th old
mllltta passed from th control of th
countle to th war office, and the y

FORTUNES INJHE MAKING
Features of the Crue for Gambling

Street
FATE OF FOEMXS 0 AMBLERS
"Wa n make a fortune over night!"
The public la Invading Wall atreet
Thousand of men and women ar tak
ing part In a wild scram bis to buy
"war tocka."
From the stories which the whirlpool
of speculation la blowing- around broker
office It would seem a alrapl matter to
find th rainbow's end and pick up a pot
of cold.
Profit of 115.000, 8.10,000, r-O.OOO or
2100,000 have been mad on the puroha
of a mall lot of Bethlehem Steel, Gen
eral Motor or any one of a number of
other atock which hav advanced any
where from 60 to COO point.
Broker' book show an aggregate of
thee small winnings amounting to mil
lion of dollar.
Will the "paper profit" bo converted
Into mor aubatantlal form of wealth or
be dissipated in a frensled effort to ac
quire additional wlnnlnngsf That' th
question professional speculator ar ask
ing', but th publlo ha not time to par
ley with professional speculators. While
old-time operator In Wall street have
been art and In g on the aid line shaking
their head disparagingly, th publlo ha
taken the market by storm.
What la the use of wasting time talk
ing when there Is money to b had by
action T
Buyt Buy! Buy! Th profit will tak
car of themselves).
Such I th stock gambling eras
weeping over th court try. Nothing
like It ha been witnessed since the great
bull market which marked the "trust
formation" period, about fifteen yea4fj
On that occasion the people rushed to
buy the stock of this or that company on
th rumor it would bo taken Into one of
the great Industrial combine then in
process of organisation, Just as In the
last week they have bought up the
stocks of concerns which are reported to
have been favored by large order for
munition and war supplies.
Jest Like Old Time.
It la the same now aa It waa then.
Wherever you go, wherever you chance
to be riding In a subway or in Pull
man car, dining In a fashionable uptown
tea room or in I downtown lunch club
wher pretty young- girls employed In
near-by office buildings congregate for
their noonday meal. In the cafes as well
as the lounging: room of millionaire'
club everybody la talking "war stock."
Women as well as men are discussing the
merits and financial, prospect of Indus
trial concern of which they knew noth
ing; a few weeks ago, whose existence
they probably never even auspected.
It is surprising; how much knowledge
has been accumulated in such a short
time.- The affaire of these companies are
now dlacusaed familiarly by thousand
who are expecting' to make fortune in
"war stock." ThU concern ha received
an order from th allies tor millions upon
millions of dollar worth of shrapnel, J
this on a huge contract for gun barrels,
and still another for hundreds of auto
mobile trucks.. Th profit arising- from
these colossal transactions, presumably
amounting' to many million of dollars,
have been figured down to a nicety, and
th fact that om ot th stock which
have advanced In the moat aensational
manner par no dividend doe not in the
least seem to dim th luster of their pos
sibilities aa Investments In the eyes of
those who are buying them. -
Jn the same way fifteen years ago,
when th Flower Interest, the Morgan
Interest, the Moore, John Oates. Daniel
Reed and other member of the "tin
plate" crowd were buying up steel mills,
paper mills and various other Industrial
plants over night and making them ur.lts
of great Industrial combine, th publlo
eemed to get the inside track of these
deal and speculated on the outcome furi
ously and recklessly. Then It wa largely
a case of following- the movement of
men who were doing big thing In an
Industrial and financial way; now it' a
case of following war order. Th mar
ket ha no leadership.
Clamor of the Crowd.
Step Into any one of the large broker
age office In th Wall atreet district and
the excitement attending; the public's wild
plunge Into the stock market Immediately
becomes apparent The reserve and dig
nity maintained In times of calmer mar
kets have been taken off, rolled up and
put away In cold storage.
The office manager Is running from one
telephone to another, order ar shouted
cross th room to th man In charge of
the private -Aire, the telegraph Instru
ments ar running a neck-and-neck race
with th ticker, both seemingly Imbued
with the Importance of the message they
are carrying- to thousands of anxious,
half-erased speculators.
The board "markers," nimble as they
are In slipping Into place the little num
bered card that Indicate th upward or
downward trend bf prices, frequently
fall behind Lb tap and call out the
quotations.
"Baldwin Loco, now IS, 130."
, "What's thatT" some one yells, and for
an Instant all In the room ar at atten
tion. In another moment some other
stock forges to the front, eclipsing Bald
win Loco., and so It goe all through
th five hour of trading.
Over tn one corner of the room a num
ber of customer ar seated around a
table. In the center of which is a ticker
housed under a rounded glaaa cover such
aa protected th wax flower group on the
parlor mantel In the old homeatead. They
are too Impatient to wait for the board
"marker." With heada close together
they ar bent low over th mysterious
Uttl piece of mechanism which ha such
powor to fasclnat and rob peopl of
their common sense. Pvsry now and than
a trader who ha put tn an order to buy
or sell a certain atock atmoat tear th
tap out of th ticker In hi eagerness to
learn how th market la going.
A study of th faces of those who
throng th customer' rooms tn th brok
erage firm the day ahow plainly
enough that th publlo 1 In th market
Slouch hat and clothes cut by tailor
who make no preUna to keeping- up
with th lateat Fifth avenue atyle reveal
the presence of th "outsider." But th
outsider are not to be Judged, finan
cially, by their appearance, because most
of them hav picked up a email fortune
In "war stocks" and hav com to Nw
Tork "just to see how thing ar mov
ing In Wall street"
. Ot Ih Carta.
AU that Is necessary to convince them
that thing ar moving I a trip down
Broad street to wher the "curb market"
hold forth. Several of th atock which
hav advanced most conspicuously in
the preaaat wav of speculation are
only traded In oo th "euro," and tor
weeks the curb brokers hav been fairly
swamped wlUt butlnea

men who each day gather ih on of New
Tork's princtpal streets, blocking traffic
and rending th atmosphere with their
deafening clamor, one of the first
thought that com to mind 1 that her
restrictions ar few and opportunities
meny.
The manner tn which order for "war
stocks" pouring Into Wall street from
all parts of the country are executed on
the "curb" Is one of the wonders of the
present day. A lgn language almoat a
bewildering as wlrele telegraphy ha

Many year will elapse ere some trade

from the effects of this devastating- war.
In other trades those which are supply
ing the materials required for the war
fortunes are being made every day. In
England stoppage of sport cricket, foot
ball, racing, etc. has resulted tn the
makers' of sporting requisites toeing
nearly all thetrtrade. Few people buy
such luxuries as jewelry nowadays. The
clothing- and drapery trades have been
hard hit and the glass and pottery
trade ar seriously affected.
On the other hand, many manufactur
ers who formerly made articles of luxury
hav adapted their works to necessary
goods. Motor car manufacturers hav
reaped a harvest by concentrating; their
attention to war vehicles Instead of pri
vate cars, and th boom in military
motor-driven vehicles Is such that new
works are being erected aa rapidly as
possible.

Remarkable prices hav been realised

France to Increase
Amount of Pensions
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
PARIS, Nov. 1. "Our pension laws will
necessarily develop an Importance equal
to those of th United States after the
American civil war," says Deputy Pierre
Masse, reporter for the pension commit
tee of the chamber. "Those laws," he
adds, "will carry auch heavy appropria
tions ss to exercise a greater Influence
social and political than all the social
legislation of recent years."
Two important reforms are proposed Jn
pension bills that th commute haa re
ported favorably. The pensions of widows
are to be Increased - proportionately to
th number of orphan and pension wilt
be granted to mothers for the loss of
son who were their main support
The rate provided for by th new law
ar from 663 franca ($112) for widow of
prlvat soldiers, running from that figure
through the various grades up to 6.250
francs (21,050) a year for the widow of a
general of division; these figures being
subject to Increase In the caae of orphans.
If th soldier or officer died of wound
not received tn battle or of disease con
tracted while on duty the pensions run
from 276 francs (275) to 2.500 franca (2700)
a year.
No statistics of th number of killed
and maimed in the French army are
available to the public, but the Indication
given by Monsieur Masse, who know,
re to the effect that France' penJoa
harden will be heavier than that of the
United State after the civil war.
