AN URGENT DEMAND
For December Wheat Was the Fea-
ture of the Market-May Closed
of; December Firm.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-WHEAT.-The
urgent demand for December was the
feature in the pit. Because Of the
small amount offered for sale, the
price of that option was at a premium
all day. The deliveries today were the
heaviest for several years. the total
amount aggfegating 4.000.005 bushels
The greater portion of the grain was
put out by elevator concerns and the
most Of it was taken BY prominent
commission houses. When il became
known that nearly all the wheat had
been taken by the leading houses,
rumOrs Of a big deal in the local mar
ket were revived. This was the chief
reason for underlying the demand for

CHARACTER
To the Trading in the Stocks Yester-
day--Cosntrant Due to the
Forthcoming Message.

1 New York. Dec. There was III
/ tie character TO the trading in the
stock market today the constraint on
| speculation being attributed generally
TO the money situation. The bank
statement did not reflect as large an
inroad on The reserves as was fore
told but yesterdays q per cent gave
apprehension that the full rise was
not included in the statement of aver.
| ages contained in the bank statement
The largest part Of the loss came
late In the week and so figured to a
small extent in the averages. Some
minor stocks made sharp advances,
especially amongst the lesser iron in
dustrials and railroad equipment
stocks The cOnstraint on the market
was attributed in part to desire to
await the effect of the forthcoming
message of the president. The finan-
cial world has formed the opinion
that the extent of the recommends,
lions to be contained in the message
may be pretty well inferred from the
previous OHitldl ullcldHCcS anu upto
not look for sensational surprises.
Reading showed some degree of de
preston which was attributed to the
report of the decrease in net earnings
for October. The heavy decline in the
favorites especially on the curb mar
ket speculation, owing to the pre-
valent apprehension that " state OF
speculative imitation in mining
socks may have laid the way for
collapse. The November transactions
at the stock exchange fell TO total
Of less than 10000, 300 shares sold. or
7,42S,G00 less than in last November
while the amount of bonds, which
changer hands was $35,703, 200 less
than in November of last year. The
total declinig 10 $43,340, 800.

Keeper, has been thoroughly tested
and was secured from a professional
source. First have The CARPET

ready for the cleansing process. Take
one and a half pounds of the best
white laundry soap one-half pound
OF white'oak bark. hree-fourth pound
OF boraX, one-fourth pound of fuler's
earth, one-half pint of wood alcohol.
one-half pint OF ammonia, one. half

which should be boiling hot. and when
partly cool add the alcohol ammonia
and chloroform This quantity will
clean 80 yeards of carpet.
To clean, dip out a cupful of the
preparation, put it on the carpet,
spread it, and scrub with an ordinary
bristle scrubbing brush. The spot
scrubbed will be covered with lather,
but the carpet will not be wei through.
When all the dirt has been removed
scrape the lather up into heap and
take it up with a scraper. which can
be had of any house furnishing store,
OF a single with a smooth edge will
answer very well When the lather
has been removed go over the carpet
with sponge wrung out of clean
water, and dry with cloth.

be had in white with a red edge The
housekeeper who takes pride in her
kitchen may carry out a red and white
