WHEAT ADVANCE SMALL
Minneapolis and Winnipeg Markets
Strong-Wet Weather at Bot
tom of Advances.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-Although
Minneapolis and Winnipeg wheat
markets were exceptionally strong
today, that cereal locally advanced
only "a because the general public
was not in evidence. Oats gained
"A but corn dropped "a,
Wet weather in the spring wheat
country lay at the bottom OF the adj
vance, scored at the principal mar
kets, but the local response was dis
appointing to the bulls. When the
pulpy professional demand had been
satisfied it was noted that the pub
lie was not behind them. Even
southwestern markets were much
stronger than here.
Corn, recently holding its own
while wheat was declining, was the
weak market today due to favorable
crop reports.
The continued excellence of the
spot demand, the comparative light
ness of receipts together with the
wheat strength, gave a strong tone
to the oats market.

RENEWAL MILD FORM
Moderately HeavySelling-Little In.
centive For Efforts on Bull
Side.

New York, Aug. 2l--The week in
the stock market opened with re-
newal in mild form of the downward
movement which has played such
havoc on prices of securities for al
most month
There was moderately heavy sell
inc which again concentrated on the
leaders In fact dealing in the issues
during the first three hours consti-
'tnted sover rs per cent of the whole.
The decline was more suggestive
of profit taking byspeculative inter-
ests which brought on last weeks
low prices than of liquidation,
Week end developments offered
little incentive for activity on. the
bull side. Perhaps the most dis
courageing event was the announce
ment of the Harlan system of it's
intention to embark on the appre-
hensive policy Of retrendment be-
cause of unsatisfactory earnings.
Pressure against United States
Steel was more than pronounced at
any recent period and the heavy

be favorable.

were comparatively neglected.
Trading languished for the greater
part of the session after the first
hour. No material changes other
than the intermittent recovery OF
speculative leaders from their low
process.
In the very last there was moder-
ate increase of activity however at
the expense of values with Union Pa
cific falling to its previous low level
Of today
Final prices were only fraction
above the poorest and the market
tone at the close was heavy.

value, $l,507000. Governments

Two WAYS Hath Life.

Two ways hath life One as a stream
With flowers environed quits the source,
The even tenor of its course,
Hardly betrayed by transiept CLEAN.
No echo marks the onward roll
or waves that without plant or Sigh.
Winning scant glance from passerby.
Unhasting reach the appointed goal.
One as a torrent unconflned
Bursts forth headiong with frenzied
will.
No agency Its rage can still,
Nor barriers curb. nor forces bind.
The first achieves, the second aims;
One limits hath. the other none.
With every day it's task begun
Patience, ambition, are their names.
