CHICAGO MARKETS.

CHICAGO, I'LL. Dec 15.-The wheat market
derived frmness at the opening this m ornng from
an ad vance OF lad at Liverpool. That advance
was not fully equivalent TO our gain of yesterday
and was hardly a reflection OF what took place
here. Advices from the English market later in the
morning were to the effect that Argentine would
probably have 40. 00O. 0O0 bushels of the preEent
crop for export aad that Russia was Offering wura
St lower prices than America. These TWO reportx
com bineI to discourage the buyers OF yesterday
and selling som manifested superior force to the
buying, over a cent decline resulting Receipts i'm
the North west ire liberal 440 cars Last
Tuesday they were 402 cars, and year ago 1915
Chicago received II cars and inspected out "a $50
bushels. Bradstreets reported an increase in tn e
worlds stocks OF 28l. 100 busa els. A larger in
figured on earlier, and some selling
was attributed thereto. When the actual figures
became public prices rallied Export cleaIances
amounted 10 400 500 bushels Closing Continent
tai cables were irregular. Tine close as weak at
almost inside quotations. May wheat opened from
S25Sc 10 823sc. declined to sic, closing at 81 %
81 1@i1sc under yesterday. Estimated re-
tepts for to- morrow 19 cars. No. 2 red SPOT wheat
ranged from 90c to 81 5sc C ny about 90@9O1sc
GONNA little firmHess was noted IA :ne corn
market at tn opening, but it was of short dura-
ton, and left no permanent impression. The la er
weakness OF wheat exercised depressing infiu-
ence, there being nothing culatsd TO afford re-
sistance prices eased away. Receipts were 327
cars. There were no Withdrawals from store.

GLADsT0NE's FAMILY LIFE.
Like Many Another Old Man He Is
Ruled by a Child.

large-hearted old man who loves
children is sure, no matter how master
full he may be, to be ruled by some child.
Mr.. Gladstone is no exception. His sunny
little granddaughter, Dorothy Drew,
rules her illustrious grandfather
as imperiously as he ruled his
party in the days of his political
leadership. The Grand Old Man finds
when posed for picture allows her to clasp
his hand tightly, as if 10 force him to keep
quiet. writer in an American conlem-
porary says:
Never was a family more truly united
than that of the Gladstones. They con-
stltute the most wholesome type of the
British country family, wholesome in
mind and wholesome in body, and no
breath of dissension or scandal has ever
disturbed the serenity of their mutual re-
lations.
Sons and daughters. as well as those
who have entered the family by marriage,
all vie with one another in reverence and
devotion for the one who has done so
much to render the name which they
bear illustrlons, a synonym for justice,
piety ana generosity.
But superior to them all on that score is
the Grand Old Woman" as the vener-
able Mrs. Gladstone, the once famous
beauty, Catherine Glynne, is affectionately
described throughout the United King
dom.
No wife is more watchful and devoted
than she, and Mr.. Gladstone has made
few political speeches in Parliament when
she has not sat in the gallery ms piritiug
him with the knowledge of her presence,
and few public addresses outside tho walls
of Westminster when she has not sat by
his side, whether on the platform or on
,, the hustings.
Indeed, on one occasion, when, about
fifteen years ago, ne was called upon to
speak in the open air at Greenwich to an
extremely hostile audience. she won the
day for him by standing throughout t
his side. holding an umbrella to shield his
silvered locks from the glare of the sum-
Scottish American.
