Young Letter of Chicago Believed to Nave
bought Heavily.

Chicago. Dec. 26.-Friday. which
will witness the close Of the great Lei
ter deal In wheat on the Board OF
Trade, bids fair to prove memorable
day in the trade.
No grent excitement is expected in
the wheat pit. but in oats squeeze OF
shorts may occur.
1t Is believed that Mr. Letter has
been turning Il trick on trade in oats.
while everybody was watching wheat.
For weeks the oats pit has been prac-
tically deserted.
Last week there was a disagreeable
surprise to the men who had sold s.
OOO, 1000 bushels of oats for December
delivery when they learned no oats
were being delivered. Then they
awoke to the fact that in all the Chi
cago elevators oats measured but
go, 600 bushels of the contract grade.
II was Wednesday when the discov-
cry was made. The price of Decem-
her oats was then 2Okc. On Friday
the market closed AZ 22Sc. A cent ad-
vance In oats is us good as 1 or 5
cents in wheat il is too late to rush
in a supply to meet the call which will
be made for the grain ut the close Of
business on Friday. Those who have
not delivered the grain according to
contract will be called upon 10 settle
mt the closing prices. The situation
has all the elements of squeeze.

Much interest has been awakened in
England by the discovery of a prehis-
toric lake village near Glastonbury.
The dwellings were placed on mounds of
elay raised above the level OF the water.
The framework of primitive loom
vas found under one mound. and the
number of broken bone needles and
bone splinters discovered in another
mound led the explorers to think that
II may have been the site OF an an
cient needle factory. Very few human
bones have been discovered. but among
the interesting finds is blue glass
bead, with waving dark line running
around It, One of the mounds contains
three hundred tons of clay. all of
which must have been dug from the
surrounding hills and carried to the
spot In boats.

Ballainc. Gwynn and Holland say
that there is more alarm outside con

by the residents of that place. They
agree that there is no food to be bought
