Bey, powerful Albanian officer. The
widow also was willing. Ali stood
the combination off for a long time,
but his mother kept fOmenting
trouble and upbraiding her son for
marrying without her consent or as
sistance. Under the Mohammedan
law every man has the right TO two
wives, but unless one of them is a
slave he cannot prevent her securing
a divorce when he marries the second.
Few avail themselves of this law. Ali
was finally prevailed upon to marry
again.
BY chance the first wife learned of
the wedding arrangements on the ap-
pointed day. She drove TO her moth
er-in-law's house just before the
bridal procession arrived there, took
Ali in her carriage. and eloped with
him 10 the landing TO take steamer
for the Asiatic shore. Mother-in-Iaw
was too late TO interfere at home. but
she sent detectives after them. who
caught them al the landing and per-
suaded Ali 10 come back home and be
married. His first wife promptly got
a divorce, and an army officer horse

Under an Overwhelming Rush

Once More Broken.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago. Dec. Speculation on the
board of trade was on the rampage
again today. Once more record prices in
all grains were topped and bull enthu-
siasm ran from pit to pit, keeping all
traders in a state of excitement The
conditions back of the upward movement
of prices are almost Identical with those
that started the strong bull move

Although the visiting stock men are
rapidly leaving the city, many of them
are still buying Country orders, espe.

houses this forenoon before trade open
was a new and powerful bull incentive,
that of capitalistic speculation. Promi-
nent brokers say that the. country has
gone speculation mad, and that men who
usually dabble in stocks are turning to
grain.
Trade seemed almost to ignore the
early natural conditions which usually
turn markets. However the news to-
day was bullish. Both the Liverpool and
the English country market were strong,
the outside American markets bullish
and receipts, We're reported rapidly fall
ing off. These influences augmented by
the report that Wall Street was strong
ly buying in the market, brought open
ing prices q to 1Ac. higher for Deem
Der wheat options and "a to 13sc. higher
for May. Naturally these bulges brought
heavy liquidation, but prices stood we'll
and reactions brought them up again on
every bit of bullish news.
Corn and oats, though both exce1ling
records for many years, followed largely
after the lead of wheat The cash sit
uation in other cereals is very strong
and the supply markedly limited.
The small sag in grains, to the strong
early opening lasted only a short time
Overwhelmed by the rush of orders from
