to S1.05, the highest price in this market
for years. The opening was extremely
nervous, bids at the start ranging all the
way frcm $1.OiA to s194. The bull clique.
headed by Allen Greer and the Letter
brokers. attempted to keep the market
down by selling. but shorts were appar-
entity thoroughly frightened at last and
probably "a 90 bl,sh6ls were nut on the
market before there was any let-up. In
the meantime De eI11ber-hGd sold to S195.
but a reaction then ensued. the price get
that the December bulls intended to carry
the deal in that option to a finish was
strengthened by the announcement that
contracts have been closed to ship all the
wheat east all-rail when delivered. De-

WONDROUS BEAUTYLEAYES
Mrs. Napoleon sarony Marries and
Sails for Europe.

New York, Dec. 9.-The Fulda took
away from America yesterday a $goman
whose wondrous beauty has been admired
by the whole world, although compara--
atively few persons have ever met her
face to face. Her name is Mrs. DOmen-
clio BOnnanO, and she is a bride for the
second time. She has never been an act
ress or posed a professional beauty.
yet, excepting perhaps Lily Langtry and
Maude Branscombe, she has been photo
graphed more times and in more poses
than any other living person.
For. Mrs. Bonnano's first husband was
Napoleon SarOny, the man who first made
of photography an art. And nothing
pleased the little French magician of the
lenses much to make pictures of
his beautiful wife in all sorts of artistic
poses-particularly in some oriental garb
and inYestiture to which her type of beau
ty best lent itself.
Sarony died suddenly a few months ago,
and on Wednesday evening Mrs. SarOny
was married to Domenico BonnanO. a
wealthy Italian merchant of this city and
an old friend of the Sarony family. Mr..
and Mrs. BOnnano go to the Riviera for
their honeymoon and will be absent from
the United States all winter.

BOYCOTT EXPRESS ORDERS
Bankers Say Express Companies Do
Not Play Fair.

st. Louis, No. Dec. .9-At a meeting of
the council of administration of the Mis-
souri, Bankers association great dissatis-
faction was expressed at the treatment
accorded the country bankers by express
companies.
1t was agreed by all that the express
companies rates were excessive and many
bankers complained that the service was
faulty. It was further charged that some
of the companies were DONG banking
business themselves on the capital of
others, much to the injury of the licensed
the state.
The meeting was behind closed doors
and resulted in the adoption of a resolu-
ton, the tenor of which was that the
association discouraged the cashing of ex-
press companies money orders and great
ly favored new method which provides
for the shipping of money through the
United States mails in registered pack
ages with an insurance attachment.
