"The Ballet Dancer"

It is by Matilde Serao. 1t is a
story of the pathetic-almost
tragic-life of ballet dancer on
the Italian stage. 1t is the reality
of life-struggle, privation, love
set against the unreality and
glamor of the footlights. 1t
is a story of intense human and
dramatic power.

KING FARMER
IS IN COMMAND
Goes to Chicago and Sends Prices
OF All Grains Climbing,
THEY MAKE A NEW RECORD
Natural Conditions Hack OF the Cp-
shoot Hoard OF Trade Witnesses
some Spectacular Scenes.

Chicago, Dec, 5.--'Tiing Farmer" has
come to Chicago taken the board OF
trade by storm and sent prices Of all
grains climbing above record prices,
Business today on change was larger
and more spectacular than It has been
for long time and has rlyaled the
speculative enthusiasm that marked the
days Of Hutchinson and the other
giants OF the pits.
Natural conditions are back Of the
upshoot In prices, but bull speculation
has been the main incentive The whole
countryside seemed to be waking up IL
the rllinous shortage In the corn crop
and the feeding of wheat to stock as q
consequence has brought buying In that
cereal.
General advances have been made IN
all options of wheat, corn and oats,
during the past several weeks but the
arrival of thousands of farmers and
stookmen to visit the live stock exhibi-
ton touched off the fuse under all the
markets and sent prices booming, To-
day the floor Of the board was O spec
tacular show. Hundreds OF the big
countrymen, In fur oyercoats and cow
hide boots, had the courtesies OF the eX-
change and were all eagerly getting
into the game" When professional
SPECTATORS saw the farmer grasping
opportunities they Immediately began
to plunge. Added to this influence was
food Of general buying orders from
the country. until the outside interests
practically control the market
May wheat touched its record price
for the crop shortly before noon, selling
at S0eb. Both December and May corn
broke record OF years standing. Dec
ember selling at 65 and May at 6Sh, II
Is rumored there Is q corner In oats,
but trade Is so large on both sides OF
the market that II Is not certain. May
oats broke another record today at ASA
Although the transactions on the
board continued on a very large scale
throughout the session, prices did not
hold to their record marks at the close.
II was rumored that Moore Bros. had
been buying large quantities OF wheat
for the past six weeks. George Phillips
was reputed to have secured a large
line of corn and James Patten, mayor
OF Evanston was supposed TO have con-
troll of oats. At the high prices enor-
nous amounts of grain came out In all
pits, supposedly from these operators.
Prices rapidly sagGed az a consequence
and though the markets were yet firm,
the big advances for the day were in
many cases lost December wheat
