EASY TONE IN
WHEAT MARKET
PREDICTIONS OF LARGER WORLD
SHIPMENTS IN THE MAR.
kET TODAY.

Chicago Feb. 23.-Predictions OF
larger world shipments gave the wheat
market today h somewhat easy tone.
Heavier forwardings from Argentine
In particular tended to act in favor OF
the bears. Liberal receipts at Minne-
apolis had a similar effect and So. did
the abundance Of moisture. making
certain a good start in the growth of
the winter crop. Pit offerings, however
proved lighter than expected and for a
time this circumstance caused prices to
harden The opening was " IN to rs
az lower. Initial sales Of May were at
99A to 99M, the same change from last
night as the market taken altogether.
A rally to $1.00k QD1.00A was followed
by relapse to 99BM$1.
A break at Antwerp led to further
weakness but millers advices regard
Inc winter killing of soft wheat in this
country caused a material bulge. The
close was steady with May "a q u net
higher at $1.0034.
,UneasineSs about elevators refusing
corn which might heat in transit help
ed brin~- about bullish feeling in re-
gard to that cereal. At first though the
market was affected by the decline in
wheat. May opened unchanged to 40
" off at 67Ss to 67K@6Sc and then
rose to 6SA @6SRc.
Unsettled weather led to still high
er prices. The close was firm at 6Skc
for May, a gain of k@5s net.
+ There was not much pressure to sell
oats. Prices We're affected also by the
upturn in corn May started unchanged
to u off at 521s to 52% and assembled to
521a @525ac. a.
Demand for provisions was not at all
urgent. The market accordingly sym
pathized with lower prices at the
yards First transactions varied from
SC down to 10c UP with May delivery at
s15.45- for pork. ss.O71s for lard and
SS57h for ribs So

prevailed in the horse market Thurs
day. but this is only natural on the final

that holders are DESTROYS OF cleaning up

early part of the week. While quite
few good horses were put up for sale
a large part of the offerings consisted
Of odds and ends, and there was only
= limited number of buyers on hand to
absorb the supply. Sellers were forced
to take losses on much of the poor
stuff. but they preferred doing this to
holding the stock over until next week.
Receipts of horses, including yester-
days estimate of 300 head, total 2,619
head for the four days and compare
with 2,237 head for four days last week
and 2.s63 head for a similar period the

Joseph Pulitzer, who owned the ST.
Louis Post-Dispatch and New, York
World, came to ST. Louis as a day
laborer. He answered small ad in a
st. Louis paper and got job in a bust
ness in which he afterwards became
the leader. When he became the mana
ger of newspaper, he paid particular
attention to the want ad department,
because he realized what 1t had done
for him. The want ads in a daily paper
are of immense use to community
because the people use them.

LyCeum Course Closes

John b. Ratio, impersonator,
wound up the Lyceum course of the
James Johns High Tuesday evening.
Mr.. Ratio is an artist There was
not an instant of idle time from
start TO finish. He is a bright,
strong, well groomed young fellow,
but in his change to represent the
old men in his program, he seemed
TO shrink several size aud was the
ideal of the character he represent.
ed. This was particularly true of
the Episcopal rector, with his holy
horror of the brutal foot ball game.
He was back at his Alma Mater
OH a visit to his son, who was
crack player in the hotly contested
game. There were but three min
utes more to play, the game stood
tie, his son secured the ball and
was making the run OF his life, the
strain was too great for the dignity
of the cloth. How he rooted for
his boy as he flew toward the goal,
bowling over his opponents as they
attempted to tackle him, how his
heart seemed to stop as his son went
down, and how he was electrified
when he freed himself and wen
over the line, making a touchdown
winning the game, can be appre-
ciated only by those who have
played the great game and realized
the thrilling experience of those
critical periods. The man of 90
became a boy again, dignity was
thrown to the winds, of came hir
dinky little black hat aud as he
jumped up and down upon il he
cheered for his boy who had won
the great game for his Alma Mater
by his brilliant play. Mr.. Ratios
impersonation OF the Irish Justice,
the school boy and girl making
their first recitations, i'm fact, all his
program was particularly we'll pre-
sented. All the paraphernalia was
on a table before the audience and
without removing a garment, as he
described the character he made up
the subject, and so successfully that
we believe his own mother would
have failed to recognize him in most
instances.
The entire course has proved an
unqualified success, and much APP
peciated by the people of St. Johns.
Another course is being arranged
for the fall aud winter season, which
is claimed TO be even better than
the one just closed.
