FOREIGNERS STILL CONTROL.
Tfmes-Herald's Review of the Week
in the Wheat Market.

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.--The Times Her
aid in it's review and forecast of the
wheat market will say tomorrow: The
bulls last week moved the wheat price
up to a new level, 812s cents for De-
cember, which made an advance
since Sept. of almost 25 cents per
bushel. There was a slight reaction
from the top, but only the ordinary
vacillation of an excited market, De-
cember closing at 70 cents.
The week emphasized the fact that
the situation is still controlled from
abroad, and made it clearer than ever
except to those who would not see
that this year the control is matter
OF supply and demand position and not
at all Of speculative effort Nothing was
more significant than the weeks enor
nous clearances, 4,664,000 bushels.
There had been so much talk of for
eign necessities and so much talk OF
foreign purchases, 1t had begun to fall
on needless ears. Suddenly actual
shipments for the week of almost
100000 bushels left the skeptics with
no excuse for their doubts. There was
O. sensational climax at the very close
of the week Of the same order. After
cable upon cable had been received
reiterating the crop troubles, new and
old, of Argentine, Russia, India and
Australia, until they, too, had become
ineffective from very repetition, there
came the extraordinary news at the
close Saturday that 240.0 900 bushels No.
L northern wheat had been sold at New

the new woman, and she is very proud
OF 1t indeed.
The only peculiar feature of the craft
is that the riders must mount one at
a time. The sextuplet bicycle shell is
brought up to the landing, and the bow
oarsman. as she would be called If 1T
was g. really, truly craft, bestrides her
steed. Next comes the stroke oar, and
SO on until the coxswain's seat is
reached, and when she vaults airily
into the saddle, everything is in
readiness for the pedals to turn.
The craft is steered, naturally, from
the stern, the handlebars being so ar
ranged to act as a tiller, and the
coxswain as she sits there can send the
rest of the club any place she likes.
The trials of the water bicycle have
disproved another statement about the
new woman. Unkind man has said
that she could not steer a boat Now
the sextuplet bicycle shell is surely d
boat, in it's way, and women not only
can, but do steer it, and steer 1T well.
1t would be serious drawback If the
bicycle were steered poorly, because a
course laid out after the pattern of a
Virginia rail fence is not conducive to
speed,
