A November Corn Corner.

CHICAGO. Nov. 20. November corn
sold up to 80 cents on Friday. On Sat-
urday it was offered at rs, and ruled
dull, with little or no demand. The
deal remains as much OF q mystery rs
ever. It is stated that most of the
money lost in the deal so far has been
by country speculators. New Workers
have also dropped considerable money
and are said to be short December and
year. As the last named has been traded
In for six months, the short interest is
said to be larger than it was in Novem
Der, when the present squeeze com
menced. and bulls are looking for it to
advance about as November has. It was
reported that Field Lindley were short
November both here and at New York.
They were long when 8. v. White
failed in September, and must have lost
heavily by hedging against large ship :
ments made to Europe. The deal is 9
peculiar one. there being no excitement.
although the price may advance or de-.
cline to 10 cents without creating q
rifle, much to the dissapp Of
outside spectators who expected to see
avid time. The accredited managers
of4the squeeze are very clam like. They
say that no corner exists, as shorts have
bid prices up on themselves TO get back
the corn they sold some time ago.

For Decoration,

Doilies made to match the luncheon
cloth would be very pretty, remarks
Harper's Bazaar. A narrow hem and
two narrow bands of drawn work,
with Misunderstanding done in pointed
lines, will make the appropriate edge,
and the space within may be occupied
by an initial or left PLAIN.
A set of doilies containing illusions
to the months, both in text and
flowers, will be a charming remem-
brance for an artistic friend when the
gift season comes, as come it will,
long before we are ready for it, if we
long ago began our preparations. The
little linen doilies with hem stitched
edge can be bought SO cheaply that it
is not worth while to make them.
Draw upon each one of the set a
flower or flowers appropriate to a
certain month, and write motto to
be worked in outline stitch with black
silk. A pretty sentiment for
one, September waves her
golden rod" On one side
of the dolly is a beautifully worked
spray Of golden rod done with yellow
silk in French knots. On another one
the flowers are roses, the motto,
Sweetest roses welcome June"
Some other sentiments. which may be
accompanied by suggestive flowers
are: 1.-The violet hides from March's
rough caress." "Our vine-wreathed
king, October" Peoples bloom in
the field in fair July. = clips and
ehaWs in bleak November" "Septem-
ber's child, the meadow-bell." The
stately foxglove Augustus love. = s'The

THE SONG OF THE FARM.

The peoples that peep from the wheat at
morn,
With pearls of thenight dew glittering still,
The shadows that race DER the waving corn
And the shy little runnel down under the
hill,
The hoary old orchard whose trees are bent,
And the cloyer-fields where the honey-bees
swarm,
Cry, Come to the cradle of calm content:
Come see Mother Nature at home on a
farm!
"Here are pillows of meadow whose waves
are so sweet
They perfume the air. here are mountains
Here are ar n iiftle winds lost upon oceans of
wheat,
And butterflies shipwrecked in hollyhock
Here is peace in the air and smile in the
:. sky,
And never a fear of deception or harm.
From the cares and woes of a city life fly
To old Mother Nature, who lives on
farm!"
And so the old song from the cherry tree
tops
And arbors where Bacchus might gather
treat,
From old-iashioned sparrows that live in a
copSe
And not in the dirt of an ill-smeling street,
From the bees and the kline, and the sentl-
ofthe cock, whose shrill clarion bodies no
alarm,
Rings out to the city folk ever and aye:
"Come back to Dame Nature; she lives on
farm"

Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. 2s.-Wheat made a little show
Of strength early in the day, mainly on some
higher private cables aud rumors OF cold wave
forming in the Northwest, threatening the win
ter wheat region. Fora time there was fair
amount of buying, largely by the short inter-
est. and December touched 93hc, and May
sl.00h: but business was exceedingly dun, and
in the absence of buyers. heaviness soon ruled,
followed quickly by a decided weakness. Some
OF the early buyers began to unload their pur-
chases. and the short sellers began to hammer
the market. The market failing to get much
support, prices soon gave way, December ouch
ing 92hc and May S95sc. The close was steady
at 9silc for December, and S94c for May. Corn
was low and weaker.
