Th plant that located on this front age, and they are among the biggest In the country, did so because the site were cheap, while affording transcontinental railroad and ocean shipping facilities within the sone of the greatest development "on San Francisco bay. This waterfront built Richmond to what it Is today.

Now the citizens want to gain more good water shipping facilities, with railroad connection and cheap sites ad jacent that will draw more big enterprises and maXe Richmond a big city. Municipal ownership is the biggest thing In connection with the plan of developing the harbor here. City-owned shipping facilities and industrial and warehouse land are expected to put Richmond in a position 1 to give the greatest encourage ment to Investment by manufacturing and shipping companies. There is a rest less feeling now about this waterfront of especially since the city began the movement to get control. Private in terests know that with comparatively little money they can maka enough chan nel to serve for shipping, and if the city should fait to get control now.

It is likely that befprs the middle of next year cor poration will have taken step that will prevent the people aver getting possession except by. litigation.

Thl wa a costly piece of negligence to Oakland, and It will be costly to any other community that does not take heed. Every foot of waterfront on the ast side of the bay that can be developed Is attaining a -great value, and that of Richmond Is becoming especially valuable, because of the railroad facilities and th big plants already established in this city.

(By JOS. PBITCHARD.) CHIOAGO, Nov. If there were reasons for lowering the price of wheat earlier In the week there were potent influences for lowering therit today. New record mw points were again marked down. The principal bearish factor was the report of Secretary J.

C. P. Merrill of the board of trade after a visit to EuffHlo, Narw York, to ascertain why the iuuki mere nave not Deen included In the visible supply that they will be included in the visible Monday. The amount to be added to the visible is variously estimated at from 4.000,000 to $.000,000 bushels and a happy medium has been adopted by the wrlter-whlch will be seen to be $,000,000 bushels. Otherwise the visible supply is expected to show a goodly increase and if expectations as to the Increase is realized there win we new ana pronounced selling bv those who own the wheat and there will aleo.be heavier selling In the way of pulling out short lines.

RUSSIAN CROPS BEARISH The central statistical rnmmftf.u ef Russia cabled an estimate on the crops of that country and they were unite bearish. The snrlnr wheat cron tiiaruui at bushels compared with zuu.vvw ousneis a year ago: nc at 1.12$ 000 bushels compared with bushels la 1011, barley at 440,000.000 bushels and oats et 7J.000.000, which compare with 411,235.000 bushels and bushels respectively, last year. The war news received on the beard of trade caused a helt tn the ilin cable nomlng from London saying that peace negotiations between Turkey and Bulgaria were broken off. On this there were many shorts to cover. The Russian crop report and the announcement as to tne nuiraio stocks were received late and on these real heavy selling and the lpw- prices on me crop wers seen.

HEAVY ON SHORTS. Heavy selling of ehort tines was In- auigea in again in me corn market and the consequence was further price records. Many of the point dewn state reported larger receipts of this grain with the conoinon excellent ana further Increased arrival looked for during the coming week.

Those who are closest to th men who raise the oats and who are well posted on the export situation believe that the May future must sell to a still tower level. Tiiey point to the fact that oats receipts, ar likely to increase and that while the export trade may increase some, Russia will be a freer seller of this grain as the crop there Is 79,000,000 bushels, Substantial gains were mad In the entire provision list, with the big de-M ereases th semi-monthly manufactured stovk here the principal bullish help.
