ut was a mere accident that helped

great deal Of care and unhappIness.

Then she few away to tell her
mother the news that Warde had
brought. leaving him in trance half
way between doubt and happiness.
Irving was not worshipper Of
mammon, and he did not propose to
allow the substantial deity to come
between him and the desire Of his
heart, which was to win the love Of
Miriam Wright; he was not fortune
hunter, and he saw no reason why
he should stand aghast before a pile
OF gold il in other ways he could
dare aspire to the love of a woman
like Miriam. Her gold would be the
least thing to make her seem inacces-
sible to him.
But how would the radical change
in her life and the adulation incident
to her wealth affect here Now she
was gil womaaliness, There was a
sweet timidity about her, half-star-
tied air, q frankness without artifica
and 9 sentient beauty that rendered
any description of her colorless. I'm.
spoiled by contact with money-get-
ting, place-hunting society, Miriam
was the lovely token OF something
which Warde only dreamed.
But the test? How would she come
out OF the furnace fed by the assoc
ciated passions of humanity? Would
she remain steadfast to herself, or
would she alter with alteration?
There would be uncouth lips to tell
her that she was beautiful. The ra-
dance that wealth can scatter round
about one would cling to her. The
sensuous arts would environ her and
assail the simplicity which was now
her Charm: Fashion would spread for
her its suhtlest wiles, and mammon
wauld write sonnets to her deep gray
eyes.
These thoughts flew through his
mind while Miriam was gone, but
when she returned she almost Tempt
ed him to lay aside his Judgment with
his doubts, she was so frankly happy
in his presence. It cost him q great
exerTtioA ef will not to put his for
tnAe 10 the test then and there, but
he conquered the inclination and went
away with his secret unspoken.

New York, Dec. 1.-The renewed ten

effect on the western stocks at II o'clock
but the leading specialties held well.
Room traders became nonplussed by the
conflicting tendencies Of the railroads and
specialties and reduced their commit
mentS largely, causing very: dull traQlng.
Persistent pressure against the western
stocks gradually offset the buying Of the
Industrials, and the entire market reacted
sharply. United States Steel preferred fell
back to 545s, and Atchison and Southern
Pacific lost point each. Many minor
stocks huctuated widely. Cleveland, Lo-

purchases for the long accounts were

Strong News Comes Invisible
Wheat Supply Increases by
Only 10000 Blu.
Thirty Loads for Export at New
York---Foreign Markets

Argentine Weather Still Bad
Receipts Not Heavy---Flour
Trade Better.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce, Dec.
21.-May wheat was a pnzzler thru the
early part Of the session to-day, selling up
to SIC early and then dropping into quiet
ness and holding firm but dull on frac-
tional setback. Some of the traders took
the S3c sales as indicating the probably
high point, and were disposed to play for
a probable down turn, but majority saw
it otherwise and the offerings from profit
taking longs and a few scattered short
sellers were we'll taken. Chicago reported
sentiment there extremely bullish. not
withstanding increasing tinidty, due to
the uncertainty as to the position of Ar
mour, and the conflicting war rumors.
Worlds shipments for the week were con-
siderably larger, 1O,42S,C00 blu. against
9,592,000 blu in the week previous, while
the American shipments were not so
heavy, the India movement and the Dan
ube shipments showing material increases.
The quantity afuat for Europe, at 27.040,-
600 bu, showed an increase of 152, 900 blu.
and Liverpool stocks, at 1850, 900 bu, in
creased $4,000 blu. Altogether there was
nothing in the regular Monday worlds
statistics Of any special Importance. Lo-
cally there was an increase of 100000 bu
in elevator stocks for two days Mime.
apolis had $40 cars in, against 1,054 last
year. Duluth got "a, against IS; Chicago
10, against 80; Kansas City 1910 bu.
against $4,000, and st. Louis 10000 bu.
against 100000.
Liverpool closed h@%d higher. Paris
closed 20 to 40 centimes up. Broomhall
. cabled that the Liverpool Argentine adj
vices are of unsettled weather.
Later in the session New York wired
that there was wide disparity between the
worlds shipments furnished the New
York Produce exchange and the figures
furnished the Chicago board by Broomhall.
. The New York figures make the India
. shipments only 100000 bu; while the Chi
cago India shipments are 100000 bu.
There is also a wide disparity in the two
statements as to the Danube. The New
York statement makes the total about
100000 bu, the Chicago figures exceed
1O,40O, 900 blu.
Primary receipts, 1.172,oO0 bu against
ze264,O0O, and shipments 100000 against
i04. 900. Wheat and flour clearances
suualed 14S,Oo0 bu.
New York sold 80 loads for export.
The visible made a surprisingly small
increase. only 1853, 900 bu.
Near the close free selling carried the
market off in the face of bull news. May
i sold down slowly but was stubborn on the
decline. May closed at S21zc and July at
S1A @S1Bc.

The week opened with surprisingly good

the volume of business received, which was not
average received or usually expected at this
time. Atho the annual holiday period is now
on and the signs Of dizziness to be found at
this time not lacking, there Is a better
business being done than is usually the case:
Domestic small lot orders make up good part
of the trade. There is still complaint Of
lack of shipping directions for old lots, altho
the situation in this respect is better than at
