some Of it, though just how much ID
not known.
few moments later Mrs. Norton
stepped out on the porch to see that
the boy was all right and found him
lying on the floor apparently lifeless.
Mrs. Cole, who resides in neighbor-
ing apartment. had been out on her
porch moment before and had mo-
ticed little John lying on the floor and
reached the Norton home Just as Mrs.
Norton discovered the boy Medical
aid was summoned at once and three
physicians exerted every effort ia en-
beavers 70 save the chiId,s life, but
the accident had been discovered too
late and In half an hour little John
was dead.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Euaninn Grain letter.

Chicago, Oct Wheat: The mar
ket opened steady TO shade easier
and sold OF fractionally In sympathy
with the weakness in the northwestern
markets, these latter being weak on
hedging sales against liberal receipts.
Southwestern markets were strong all
day. There has been considerable talk
today on the part Of the country re-
Rarding the delay in seeding winter
wheat and many sections report very
small proportion of normal seeding yet
accomplished In some instances the
farmers say that 1t is not too late.
The rainfall during September mas
been excessive and has caused not
only the above mentioned delay IN
seeding, but, in many cases, fall plow-
Ing has not been accomplished. we
think this feature will bear close
watching. The cash demand was very
moderate and export limits generally
below q working basis. We are IN
ci.ned TO look for a narrow market
but still prefer the long side on set
