lifted arm. The bride then walks on
to where the arrow lies and picks II up
with her foot, still balancing the pitcher
on her head. Transferring 1t grace
fully to her hand. she restores It to the
bridegroom. thus showing that she can
perform her domestic duties well, with
hand and foot at his service. He In
turn. by shooting the arrow In front OF
her. has shown his ability to protect
her and clear her path Of any danger

Chicago Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Wheat-The
market is firm and about 3-4 higher,
The strength came mainly from bad
weather In the northwest and covering
of shorts. Primary receipts again
show materially below last year.
There is no change in the cash sitna-
ton and no Improvement in export de-
mand. Liberal worlds shipments on
Monday are predicted, although clear
'ances from this country are small. It
Is still, a weak and Disappointing faa.
ture OF the situation. With every tle
sire to be right more than to be con-
sentative WI can't see much in the
short side Of wheat. We have been
bullish both on facts and on theory.
The facts are that the worlds crop OF
wheat is short, the supplies Of old
wheat exhausted, and at current rates
Of consumption 1t is difficult to see
from where supplies for the year are
to come. Stocks Of flour are exhaust
ed and the demand is urgent. So far
as this country is concerned, farmers
are well to do, and both able and dis
posed to market their surplus slowly.
These are the facts. Our theory has
been that small European crops and
had uaothnr oud xcatariol ~ ;,,.., - oth

demand in this country must soon ma
terialize on a considerable scale and
become urgent. So far our theory ii

ever, that time is the only element Of
uncertainty. In the meantime at the
height of movement stocks are not in
creasiing and are very small.
Corn-The market is a little higher.
There are further general rains
throughout the west which are needed
and which run favorable to the grow
ing crop. There is also a cheerful
prospect Of frost particularly in the
western boundary of the corn belt.

one. Receipts are moderate and corn
Is being freely taken for shipment.

NEW YORK. Sept. 12.-The wealth
er and crop conditions Of the weel

With the crops of late and immature in

peet Of a change for the better In

be fatal in reducing the ultimate yield
