crowd, Wheat opened quiet and the hrst
sales were at some advance over yesterday,
but became weak for time and the mar
ket dropped. Later it was rumored that
the CLIQUE was buying and the feeling De-
came stronger Then came reports OF lib
eral exports from the seaooard. AS the
CLIQUE brokers kept right on buying the
shorts began to exhibit increasing nervous
ness and prices steadily advanced, closing
&c from the top. Corn opened dull, later
became steady and closed shade higher.

Why He DIdn,t Like IL.

"Yes," said the divinity student to
the reporter, 81 have lately returned
from the South Sea Islands"
Didn't you intend remaining there
for several years?"
Eyes, but didn't like IT,"
mo? What was the matter? On
healthy?"
Rather, I thought"
SIN what way? Climatic?"
mo, not exactly. You see they sent
me to an island where the natives spoke
little English. The first week 1 was
there I;called on the chief man, and
thinking to approach him gently I
asked: DO you love missionaries?'
How he inquired eagerly, raw or
cooked?'"
Somehow after that lost interest in
the work and thought had better come
back to the seminary and learn little
more"
The reporter thanked him for the in
terview, and as he left he remarked:
POSSIBLY when you return you had
better take cook book along" and then
he shut the door.
