Time Occupied by Dreams.

The time occupied by a dream is one
Of the marvels of sleep. In the work en-
titled "The Philosophy of Mystery" we
read of man who dreamed that he had
enlisted as n soldier; that he had joined
his regiment and travelled to a foreign
country; that he finally deserted on ao-
count of the harsh treatment he had re-
ceived at the hands of his superior off,
GERS; that he had been apprehended
and carried back to his regiment; that
upon arriving there he was tried by court
martial, condemned to be shot and was
led out for execution. At this moment
the guns of the executioners exploded,
and the sound awoke the dreamer. 1t
was clear now that loud noise in an
adjoining room had both produced the
dream and awakened the dreamer al.
most at the same moment.

DECEMBER WHEAT SLoe.
THIS Is the Highest Notch Touched
Since the 1901 Corner.

Amid the widest excitement seen on
the Chicago Board of Trade within the
memory OF the oldest trader December
wheat sold for 81 90 Thursday. This is
the highest mark which the cereal has
reached since the historic combine of 1891.
During the four hours OF session rise
Of ~ cents over the opening price was
recorded. The Chicago price was 16 cents
over Minneapolis and Duluth, 10 cents
over New York and cents over st.
Louis.
At this price the wheat of an eighty
acre Kansas farm, land value $15 per
acre, was worth more than the land itself.

barn. Not farmer in Minnesota or the
Dakotas with 2,40O bushels of wheat, the
product of eighty acres last harvest, but
what could have sold his grain in Chicago
Thursday for more than his land would
bring, and have few hundred dollars to
the good.
If the pace of the first few minutes had
been maintained during the rest of the
session it is probable that kernels of wheat
would have sold as high as diamonds at
the close. The cereal shot up to $1.O512
at bound and the holders of big wheat
contracts could have disposed Of them
at this stage without any trouble. When
$1.O5 was bid for December wheat some
of the bulls thought the temperature was
getting rather high and dumped lot Of
their claims. This action had the effect
of easing the market and checking tempo
rarily the efforts of the more aggressive.
Ten minutes of comparative quiet reign
ed in the stormy session. and then the
bulls by n coup started the figures their
own way again. So complete was the
surprise that many of the dealers declar-
ed that they expected to see the price sail
up to $1.oO before the end of the session.
AT S1.OG the explosion OF Il Krupp gun
could not have been heard above the pan
demonium. The bulls forced the cereal
by fractions Of Il cent up to S1.0I. Here
their foemen made a temporary rally and
brought another elevator full of grain
into their midst. A half hour of deadlock
resulted, but the dealers with the horns.
metaphorically speaking, concentrated
their forces on n weak point in the other
ranks and shot the price to $1.09, the high
water mark of the day and of six years.
Then succeeded the usual slump as the
time for the clang of the gong approached
and December closed at $1.O7.
