Wheat-Higher prices made at the
start on Liverpool showing firmer
than expected and a sharp advance at
Buda- Pesth with intimations that q
revolution was imminent in Argentina.
Wheat on passage showed a very large
increase that was reflected at Berlin
in a good sized break and with shorts
covering to some extent the market
turned very weak with the May kind
selling under s1.00 per bu., very little
wheat, however coming out under
that price. There was talk Of small
er movement in the southwest and
northwest, also numerous reports of
insect life in winter wheat fields. that
along with fifty loads of Durum wheat
for export and the strength in corn,
forced shorts to cover. Sentiment is
still bullish, and as strong support
seems to be extended on weak spots,
the market is likely to respond more
quickly to buying than to sellingor-
ders.
Corn-The most notable features to-
day was the claim made that 100000
blu. Illinois corn had been sold for ex-
port via the gulf and that Europe was
taking low grade corn. Advices as to
movement were conflicting but the
market turned very strong late in the
dav on shorts covering, Influenced
somewhat by Shows report. as well as
talk of smaller movement. 1t looks
like a good scalping market
Oats-Elevator people and commits
sion houses sold old May, wall
street house being a good buyer, how
ever, while the Armour concern sold
old July against purchases of Septem-
Der kind. 1t looks like a movement
this way from Illinois that may create
weakness.
Provisions-Hogs were way under
the estimate and 1oc higher. Shorts

also parallels the course Of the river
from Des Moines to Harvey. 1t Is
probable that these two systems will
at once become active lobbyists

Last year the Burlington collected
81 800 900 from Sc stations on it's lines
in Iowa for freight rates. 1t is prob
able that the shippers of the state pay
at least s4,000,O00 annually to the

not believed that the cost of opening
the Des Moines would exceed the total
of a million dollars, and this SUM
would be saved by Iowa iobbers and

the press OF the nation keeps itself
free from the domination OF the pow

Wise, in a recent sermon in the Free
Synagogue OF New York.
THE press must refuse TO submit
to party dictation. The press ought
not be too great TO accept a party
name. but the press is too great TO
wear party muzZle.
"Splendidly has the press Of this
state rallied 10 the support of Gov.

OF the people as against the threatened
recurrence OF Plattism and Odellism
at their worst, though under other
names. The question is not one OF

iudices are aroused, the press must

press must oppose the domination OF

Strong put the DR. across 70 the
porch and brought her alongside with
the niceness and precision OF the keen
est MILDLY fetching up launch against
a warship. For all his bulk, Strong
was quick and sure as cat. and he
was across the concrete roof OF the
porch and feeling quickly and softly
along the edge OF the French windows
before Langley had time TO realize
that he was alone.
Langley saw the French windows
which stood ajar. pulled little wider
open, revealing thick. heavy curtains
drawn close TO. Strong crouched, and
moment later the curtains had swal
lowed him up.
| Langley sat in the "Di" with his
heart pounding like a piston-rod. His
nervous imagination conjured up a
thousand frightful eventualiues--the
prospect OF a misunderstanding super
intendent OF police, chilly cells, and
endless remands, and finally a lone
sentence which even Strong's inlu
entail relatives and the immense
wealth at the back or him would not
suffice To have reduced.
| So loud and fast and painfully did
his heart beat that his ears began to
sing. He clutched at the side OF the
"Di" in terror, and he felt that his
head was swimming away from his
body.
- But Just as he felt the strain was
becoming more than he could bear, the
curtains opened softly once again, and
Strong, with a grin OF childish tri
iumph all across his face. came
through them with cat-like tread.
| Once outside the curtains be sprane
up. closed the French windows again
and then strolled with noiseless feet
across the porch To the "Di."
| Got 'eml" was all he said, and he
deposited an old, battered leather
Jewel case on the seat beside him.
Then they went up. up. up. and the
recorder marked 5000 feet.
When the DR. lowered, silent and
stationary, Strong took the jewel case
onto his knees. Lets see what
we've got" he said.
He forced the rickety lock with Q
penknife, opened the lid and whls
tied with amazement. The light oil
the stars was sufficient to make the
jumbled mass OF jewels dance anc

practice"
Four minutes swift flight brought
them to where Whitebrook runs into
the Thames. They skirted the wood
by the river, and dropped in the field
beside the roadway. The "Di" stood
on her four legs.
So there, in the half-darkness OF the
summer night, they sat and ate. pull
ing the flesh from the bones OF the
chops with their fingers.
The raln-mist had lifted and the
moon. which had risen steadily, now
shone full and clear. throwing sill

That Is the beauty OF It. said
Strong. Now is the time TO test the
dear, delightful 'Di' If anybody comes
along. Provided we keep bright
lookout, we cannot conveniently b.
spotted. We can see for half mile
either way. and we can jump her De-
fore any mans eyes can follow US
Yes said Langley. but what
about a carr"
His words appeared Ia carry with
them a prophecy, for at taat moment
they caught from the south the steady
but persistent hum OF racing motor.
There you are" said Strorg.
There Is your car. Now for the
jump"
He put his finger on the button
which should have made them rise,
but the button declined TO be depress-
ed.
The hum of the approaching motor
grew louder Strong, with one OF his
wild and sudden impulses had de
sire To- smash the button down. In
lieu OF this he applied steady but
gentle pressure. but the button held
| fast.
The hum OF the coming car grew
louder. Strong tried to wriggle the
button to and fro between his fingers,
but 1t would not move. The head
lights of the car came dancing wick
edly down the road.
Strong turned TO Langley. IF you
can't manage this better than | can.
he said. we're spotted, for certain

Langley took charge OF the button
but 1t still held fast The car was
now upon them, and went by with o
rush. On the near side was seated q
man with his head huddled in his
coat. A shaft OF light from the pow
