Daily Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-Speculators are
showing little interest in the wheat
market. Most operations are in the
nature of closing up stuff Practical
ly no wheat has been delivered on
December contracts, and there is
small prospect that the holders of
this cash wheat will lose control of it
If they can avoid it. The switchmen's
strike at Minneapolis may turn de-
mand towards Chicago, as it will be
impossible to get any wheat in here
out of Minneapolis If the strike con-
tinues or spreads, and it is hardly
likely that stuff intended for Minneap-
! oils would be diverted to Chicago.
| We do not believe this will material
ly affect the May delivery, which may
fall under the pressure of hedging
sales against the stuff held back by
the northwestern strike Foreign con-
ditions are bearish on wheat and win
assert themselves in the May delivery.
Within another sixty days Argentina
will be shipping freely and the
European markets are not In shape to
| take the load Sentiment is still pro-
nouncedly bullish on wheat as the re-
1 suit Of successful operations on the
bull side. We believe that such
bulges as result from this condition
should be taken advantage OF to sell
stuff short, and we believe profits are
reasonably certain.
Corn is still suffering from the
Bartlett-Patten raids. So far this in
terest has not forced the shakeout
which has been their apparent inten-
ton. The sharp break In cash prices
| Is likely to decrease the movement OF
corn to this market, especially as the
south and southwest are over-bidding
Chicago. We still feel friendly to
corn in spite of its apparent weak
ness and look for a good many sharp
rallies before the first of the year.
Although local contract stocks OF
oats are nearly 100000 bushels, only
465,000 bushels were delivered There
has been good demand for Decem.
Der oats. hedgers taking advantage Of
scattered liquidation to take in hedges
and resell for May delivery. We do
j not believe holders of the present
cash stock will take any chances OF
losing possession. Oats in the coun
try are worth as much as December
in Chicago. Receipts have fallen
down to less than half the local need
; The weak corn market has had q
depressing influence, but should
: warm or unsettled weather continue
oats will quickly reflect any strength
! shown In corn. AS the cheapest
. grain on the list, we firmly believe
they have real merit, which will re
. ward patient holders.
There is an active scalping market

Here are a fen of
the most notable fea-
lures which character
ize the styles of the
tailored suits for the
fall season 1909
fall season 1909

In the general characteristics the
suits and coats have a tendency to get
away from the straight lines in vogue
during the past two seasons. The half
fitted and semi-ftted backs have given
way to the more closely fitted models
the coats are longer and define the
waist line more than previously and the
proper lengths are from AZ to Sc inch
es. Plain tailored effects in wide vale
diagonal serges and eheviots are the
smart materials, while home spuns AMI
mannish mixtures are receiving much
attention. The introduction of pleats
in the skirts meet with the highest fav-
or-still the plain gored models are
in good demand. Navy, green, raisini
coal dust, prussian blue, steel gray are
among this seasons favored colors.
You can depend on our showing being
correct in every fashion detail.

Heart
Troubles

The heart may be weak
just the same as the eyes,
stomach or other organs.
1t often happens that a
person is born with a weak
heart. Then again dis
ease, fevers, over-exertion,
anxiety, nervousness,
rheumatism, etc. weaken
the heart. The result is
shortness of breath, pal
pitation, pain in the heart,
or in some Of the nerves
Of the chest or abdomen.
The heart should be

Here is a plain
question

Do you suppose, in this, the commencement of
Fthe fall season for ready to garments that
would make assertions to showing of tailored
suits, If we not actually making the display
we claim? Would announcement later in the
season interest you sufficiently TO to the store
If you had been disappointed before? Sound logic
will tell you NO. There such showing
of tailored cloth suits ever shown in Port Huron
as is right I'm second floor department.. We
cannot afford to exaggerate the least, depart
iota from the actual facts. Will you look and
be convinced? There is no single priced lot we can
lay particular stress on If you want to buy a suit
Cor $3.50, we guarantee you the same relative
value as If you want to pay $500.

a word to those

Do you have the opportunity of trying on the
many different models? All look well in the pic
lures How do you know they will become you?
Can you honestly tell how the suit will look from
a sample? We can't, and consider ourselves
better judges than the average person. We buy
from actual garments, tried on by own models,
critically judging each coat and skirt before say
its good enough to offer trade. BY all means
say come to the store We pay your fare and
return. If, however. you cannot come, we have a
different way Of selling by mail. We send the
suits direct to you, providing you live in Michigan,
and you can try the different models on examine

to mi-official statements more
than 1922, 100000 in gold coin
has been shipped to the mint
here from the mint at San Fran
cisco since the latter part of last
August. This is almost equal to
s2,000,000 day
It is said that the shipments
were made at the time of the war
scare" and the possible attempt
at invasion of the Pacific coast.
The shipments of the treasure
were in charge of United States
Marshal Elliott, assisted by a
picked corps of Wells Fargo
special messengers. So quiet
were the plans carried out that
the last consignment had been
received here before it was known
that the gold was to be transferred.

Was the Lawyers Way Fair.

When Ah-Chang, Chinaman,
died it was found that he had lett
his property by will to his three
sons as follows: One-half to eldest
one-third to next, and one-ninth
to the youngest son. When the
property was inventoried it was
found to consist of II elephants.
Here was a dilemma for it was
impossible to divide the property
according to the terms OF the will
without chopping up the 18th
elephant. Finally the heirs APP
piled to a wise lawyer. Sum Punk,
for advice which they promised
to act upon. Sum Punk had an
elephant of his own. He drove
it into the yard with the II. and
said:-"Now we will suppose that
your father had left these Is
elephants. Fun Hum take your
halt and depart.
So Fun Hum took nine ele-
phants and went.
Now. M Pin" said the wise
man, take your third and depart
also"
80 M Pin took six elephants
and went.
Now Ding Bat" said the wise
man. take your ninth and be
gone"
So Ding Bat took two elephants
and disappeared.
Then the lawyer took his own
elephant and went home feeling
very we'll satisfied with himself.
