They are cutting garments by elec-

manufacturing and other ready made
clothing shops. Eight or ten thick
nesses of cloth are piled up in heap
with the pattern chalked on the top

circular knife. revolving several times
a second, and driven by small electric
motor.
The workman drives it through the
pile of cloth at a terrific rate and it
slices up the goods into shape ready for
the stitchers at great speed. One
workman with an electric revolving
cutter can saw up the cloth for 500
garments in day, when with shears

CHICAGO. Sept. 6.-Wheat s,eadied up
from it's tired feeling near the close today
and with good buying on the squirt fin
ished = cent higher for December. The
other markets sympat bized aud corn closed
~ cents higher for May snd September,
oats gained - cent, aud provisions closed
slightly higher all round.
II WAS a dull day at the start in wheat,
as it was in all other speculation crowds.
Nothing especially new or striking
occurred during the forenoon, and conse-
quently the spectators had ample time TO
thresh over the old story. The pOssibili-
ties in the direction OF substituting wheat
for corn to feed stock was about the only
thing that kept the price from dropping off
in view of the total cessation of trading
during what is generally the busiest time
of the day. There was a squirt of activity
on its becoming known that IA well known
crop expert. who has given his
particular attention to the condition of the
northwestern spring wheat crop, had esti-
mated the total yield for the three states OF
North Dakota, South Dakota and Mime
sofa at not to exceed 60,000000 bushels,
basing his estimate ON the actual thresh-
ing returns. Then a tone of confidence
quickly supplauted the early feeling of I'M
certainty and the price of Decembes which
had been confined all the forenoon TO II
range from 5GI5 TO 5756 cents rose with
considerable velocity 10 5155 cents and
spurted at the close TO 57Sz cents.
Today it was corn that took its cue from
wheat, 10 the surprise of some of the big
local shorts who have, for week, made
such a poor attempt at manufacturing a
bear market out of a sorely mangled crop
report in the west. The market was eX-
tremely dull till II O'clock when it became
quite active. December was at no time
other than firm, and at the close, it became
eXciteGly strong. September rose
from 81 cents sold to 5655 cents. but after
ward rose TO and closed AT 5Sl2 cents. May
kept very close to 81 cents until within an
hour of the close, when it rose in quick
jumps until as high as 561s cents, and 1t
closed at 80 cents.
Cash oats met with fair sale aud were
steady TO shade firmer. The stronger
feeling extended into the speculative
crowd with good disposition to sell, and
buying orders quiet. Prices We're chiefly
Influenced by the movement of the corn
market. September, at tie start, was 4
cent higher than it closed yesterday at 81
cents; later 1915 cents was touched. and at
noon it was again selling at 30 cents, clos
ing al 30I% cents.
Provisions opened fairly firm, but the
packers had more than enough for sale to
supply the demand. The afternoon strength
in grain caused those who had sold early
to bid for some of their short stuff and the
closing prices were substantially the
highest of the day. The January
deliveries are higher than on the
day before 10 the extent of 10 cents IN pork
and Pa cents in lard and ribs.
