WHEAT PR|CESA
 SEASONS HIGHEST
Scare Over the Rejection of Reciprocity Apparent
 ly Ended

Chicago. September 23.-Although wheat today touched the highest point of the season, the scare over the rejection of reciprocity was apparently at an end. The close was steady at moderate advance, ss497Sc above last night Corn finished unchanged to %c lower: oats up isdiac, and provisions dearer by 2ia6115c.
 It was in the last hour of the session that the top prices for wheat were scored
 News of Kansas sales of the hard win CT grade to California and Texas reused a feeling that millers of Minneapolis and elsewhere might find unexpectedly sharp competition for supplies. A rather de- eided up,grn at Minneapolis emphasized his idea, and hurried the shorts here to cover.
 In consequence December rose to with in i4c of the dollar mark, surpassing by more than 1c the figures that stood last night after the excitement due to the Canadian election had been at work. :. Good sales of flour notwithstanding 4Oc a' barrel rise fin price within two days lad considerable to do also with the late rally in wheat.
 Early the market had suffered from disappointment concerning the lack of re- sponsc by European exchanges to the re- markable advance yesterday throughout tne United States. The final tone here was steady. Between the opening and the close December ranged from 9sHc to oas4c, with last sales 8445sc net higher at eo2sq9olsc.
 Better weather, leading to a belief that receipts next week would be larger, made corn easy most Of the day. The late firm- ness in wheat acted as an offset in part December fuctuated from 64c to 6i3sc. and closed steady, ssc net lower at 64A
 Cash grades were not being offered SC freely. No ? yellow finished at 6sAQ es12c.
 Notwithstanding that large increase of country sales early carried down oats demand from the east was on the mend late in the sessions. High and low levels for December proved 10 be 413sc and 467sdl 47c, with the close showing lsc net gain a; 17asc.
 shorts were good buyers of provisions and helped up prices. The outcome left york 5c up, lard more costly by 21a@ 12iac, and ribs the same as last night or to 15c advance

Both Delighted

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
 Two elderly gentlemen. both decenoE clothed in sober black, were sitting side by side in a Euclid avenue car. Each waa reading morning paper. Suddenly ono of the men uttered an exclamation of pleasure and the other peered at him over his glasses.
 T see here" exclaimed the first with q beaming face. that MT. B.. who died last week, has left his entire fortune 10 var ious charatlble enterprises. This will be a surprise to his many relatives. It Is to me a glad surprise in my case. for am the pastor of church to which hs has left $10,00o.'
 The second man looked at the article and his face too became wreathed in smiles God bless him"' he exclaimed heartily. "All to charitable institutions in spite of his relatives! An sir, I like to see money left like that. I do indeed!"
 Are you also clergyman?'
 No sir I am lawyer"

STOCK MARKET HAS N0FURTHER CRUSH
Calm Trading Contrast to Tempestuous Selling
 Day Before

New York, September 23.-Contras'ea with yesterdays tempestous traains the stock market today was surprising lv calm. There was no further crush cf liquidation in United states steel and the extreme nervousness or tne pro cedfng day disappeared.
 Movements of stocks while uncertaii' were not large. Sentiment was SUI confused, however, and the ques'iohs raised in regard to the relations pc tween the government and the ,oh'leo states Steel corporations and other farse concerns remained unanswerea'
 If was said with Q degree or posi- tiveness that the Steel corporation had taken definite attitude that it would rot submit to dissolution without at least trying conclusions with the gov ernment in the court, but thls report likes predecessors, received small credence in responsible quarters.
 At the end of week of uncertainty and wild speculation Wall street was as thoroughly in the dark as ever. Irollowing the advance in stocks in London the market opened with ma jority of gains noted United States Steel sold at 57A, a gain of IA from yesterdays close. The preferred at 1o6i4 at the opening was gain of point. Rallies were frequent.
 In the trading the common stock fell points, but qiuckly recovered most or the loss At the close the preferred stock was unchanged. and the common f A up on the day.
 During the first hour when trading was heaviest the transactions in steel common amounted to 105,000 shares, less than third of the amount traded in during the same periol of yesterday.
 A conspicuous feature was the strength of high class railroad stocks.
 Union Pacific, Reading and Lehigh 2 Valley advanced more than point, al- though the gains were lost later when the whole market reacted. Some or the active industrials were particularly weak Philadelphia company receded {? points on the appearance of it's Au- gust report, showing decrease in net earnings of $564,000. Federal Mining lost 13, Lackawanna Steel 5, United States Rubber and National Lead 2.
 The Hill stocks were comparatively neg lected and Canadian reciprocity as an 1s- sue seemed to have been relegated to the realms of things forgotten.
 At the close changes among a majority of the active stocks were insignificant,
 London was 3, persistent buyer. taking large amounts of United States Steel and the railway issues, in which there is an international interest. This foreign buy ing was estimated at 3Oo00 shares.
 Acute weakness developed in the stocks, American Snielting and Amalgamated Copper falling to the lowest point since 1888, with no news to account for the movement other than mere rumors of possible government Investigations. The decrease in loans of more than $9,00O0c0 had it's effect on cash.
 Total sales bonds, par value, s1,045 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call for the week. with others irres- ular.

New Heat Unit
From America.

lcili .Nulcficd The use of gas for heating as well as lighting has made obsolete the old unit the candle power, owing to the fact that this unit rates merely the brightness of the flame, not the heating power.
 Leville and more recent experimenters discovered a remarkable proportion be- tween the light and heat of a mantle. and using this. makers are rating burners ac- cording to the units of heat given to them per unit of time in standard calorics. Gas of 52c0 coorcs efficiency cubic meter has been recommended as the standard.
 The latest designs of burners for heat and lighting require that the gas have fairly constant consumption, since the niaXinuin efficiency of the burner is att tained only when the relative quantities of air and gas arc closely regulated. Water gas may be added to prevent cx- pensive variation in caloric value.

CONFINED FROM PAGE 33) -~-~--~-~~~~~-~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-~-> chairman of the Republican committee of his township. One fall day, in 1907, after seven years stretch of work and ''bossing' the county, MT. Penhallegon received an offer from the Tennessee Gal, Iron and Railroad company as as- sistant to the manager of the ore mines department, Mr. Edwin Ball. which he accepted.
 Just few months after his arrival the United States Steel Corporation acquired the Tennessee company and it was sev- eral weeks before the new edition of who's who and where" in the Republic and Tennessee companies was issued. Then, In the general readjustment the pro gressive young mining man from Michigan found himself at the head of department of his own, and under the administration of W. A. Green began the reconstruction scheme of the red and brown ore mines and quarries He got together the sort of men he wanted around the works, those in whom he could place confidence, who weren't afraid of hard work and who knew their jobs. He did not send to Greenland, nor yet to the Isle of Wight or No Mans Land. He got them here at home.

 There's plenty of local talent" in and dfCuHu tne fullieS or the Blfnllngnam ulS- trict, many a Napoleon underground" as Llwellyn Johns once said, and all he needs Is a chance!'
 Mr. Penhallegon found, for instance, one man. mine foreman of Raimund No 1. who knew Red mountain from Helen Ress to Potter. His name was R. ]. German quiet, earnest, practical min ing man. one of the experts on ihs mountain. MT. Penhallegon appointed him superintendent of the entire Ral- mund division, which job he holds today Then, the mining engineer on the works, G. G. Dobbs. a former Tennessee com- pany man is leader In the group of expert engineers in this district. Altos gether the personnel at Raimund would be hard to beat.
 There is still good deal on the blue prints out there that hasn't taken shape as yet in steel and brick and mortar. But 1t is all coming.
 Charles T. Fairbairn the new district manager of Republic, and himself a prac- tica mining man, follows every detail ot this mining end. And when pig iron goes up to s14 per-" as MT. Penhallegon says.

President de la Barra has asked
the Mexican conE gess 10 create a

commission will be likely to affect
the balance sheet OF national ffnan-

At the beginning of the present year
