two years ago succeeded in making a flight OF
twelve miles in circular course in which he

Wrights had been outdone.
That is the reason. says The Times" that
the War Office has made no attempt TO engage

under DUNES supervision at Farnborough, ard
everything was prepared for flights on large
scale when. few days ago, Dunno suddenly
severed his connection with the balloon factory
The Times" adds; 1t is not known what
reasons forced Dunno to adopt this serious sNp
which may be fraught with the grayest con-

Dunnes invention is a biplane. In principle

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Nov 11.--Fresh confirma- ton of damage to the Argentine crop of wheat by bpcusts created consider able excitement in the wheat pit here today and resulted in sharp advances in all deliveries. At the close prices were up 1c to 1 3-Sc, compared with yesterdays final figures. Coarse grain and provisions closed strong.
 Demand for the December wheat de- livery was especially urgent and the price of that option advanced.
 The top for December was reached at $1.051a. The close was strong with prices about A below the best marks of the day.
 Wet weather throughout the corn belt, the bulge in wheat, light receipts and an improved demand for the cash grain imparted considerable strength to the corn market. The market clos ed strong, 3-Sc to 5-Sc above yester- day.
 An excellent shipping demand and the strength of other grain inspired fairly active buying bf oats, result ing in moderate strength all day.
 Provisions were strong all day, with pork displaying unusual buoyancy. Shortages of 100000 in the packing nf the last two weeks was an influen- tial factor The strength of grain also had bulish effect. Prices at the close were 71ac to 35c higher than yesterdays final figures.
