arose at Oxford, 1t bears the name
not of the martyrcd Saxon monarch,

The corn shocks stand upon the hills Like armies tenting in the fields The rustling harvest full and ripe.
 That rivals even Ceres yields. The haze of Autumn blends with red That clings upon the trailing grape The oak has put its color on
 And wears its glory as cape. The grasses nod along the road
 And pillow in the lusty gale, While everywhere the seal of fall
 Is spreading fancies through the vale, The crow aloft in noisy flight
 Is sailing like a ship al sea A bold marauder of the sky
 With blatant raucous minstrelsy. The crop is in and plenty smiles
 Upon husbandman made glad The one who planted, titled and reaped Has won the prizes Nature had. All varl-hued the Autumn comes
 To charm us with her glowing ways And lead Us gently through the sere
 To chip and cold and winter days

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The wheat market made
little headway in either direction. December
wheat was at one time bid up to scant
quarter of a cent above yesterdays close. but
it's range for the day was within limits of sc.
Limits were even narrower in May and Sep
tember. It the popular impression that
the Armour Grain company was buying De-
cember wheat heavily here, and northwest
meanwhile selling out all of the September
possible here. Meanwhile there was heavy and
persistent December selling by the Bartlett
Fatten people following here and Min
reapolis of December delivery. General t-ade
situaetlon is unchanged. No export business
is reported.
Corn was lower under general selling 7ush
at the outset, but recovered some temporarily
on covering by shorts later. Wet weathe- in
q much larger portion of the corn belt. along
with overcast weather and rains here, helped
to weaken the market. A number o. 3rE7
sold out while there some dispu tha-
pastures We're greatly benefited.
An enormous business done IN cats
today. even larger than in corn, which was
pretty active. 1t has been something ot a
mystery where all Of the oats have gone.
Much important selling by commission cone
