recent advance, and offerings were light,
but buyers lacked confidence in view OF
the unsettled condition of the wheat
market. Spot Ban was advanced, due
to small supplies and good inquiry.

be ended. The Government ought TO
make prompt use OF prevailing condi-
tions, instead OF attempting to frame
plans which it may take years to success
fully carry out.

She Was Absentminded.

An absentminded young woman of
tailor made tastes took luncheon at a
down town restaurant the other day. 1t
was the buoy hour, when walters are
apt to forget to hold ones coat and
speed the parting guest with the usual
number of bows and smiles. When the
tailor made girl had finished her lunch
con, she looked around for her light
overcoat. and seeing a smart covert
cloth garment on the rack near her ia
BILE took it down, put it on and proceed
ed to walk out. Just as she reached the
door an excited man tapped her Oh the
shoulder and demanded his overcoat.

roomful of lunchers did not lessen the
embarrassment of the absentminded
woman a whit.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.
