FOREIGN RYE.

Dornbusch- Rye The crop in
France gives only a small Yield and
the quality appears to be irregular.
The Paris market has remained neg
lected. The center has been a fair
buyer while less business vas done for
account Of the south. German and
Russian descriptions continue offered
along the coast. The German crop in
its entirety is not yet secured and the
ruinous weather has done considerable
damage. Complaints Of disease Of po-
tatoes have also had q hardening ef-
feet. The market on the whole has
been firm on q continued active export
inquiry. notably to France. but also
to northern Europe. this movement
being favored through the absence Of
serious Russian competition. At times
sellers operated with considerable
freedom. and the price development
became irregular later in the week.
On balance September IL about un.
changed. while December 10 ID higher.
Local consumers at Budapest have
made fair requirements and the un-
dertone of the market was firm. with
October closing Sd up. The in~terna-
tional Institute of Agriculture at Rome
estimates the crop In European Rus
STA al 24.227.00 tons. against 1851
900 toni in 1911. and in Asiatic Rus
STA at $4,000 tons against 500. 900 tons
last year.

HAS NO SET
STYLE OF PLAY
(By Charles Freiburger.)

10Y Cu6Tl6S
1T 10 never too late to learn" is an
old adage and a good one.
We baseball managers and coaches
new tricks. It Is almost impossible to
make a player shift his style Of play
and about as dificult to correct a
players manner Of batting.
Players who make a voluntary eff
fort to improve their work by chang
ing their methods of play are few and
far between.
Cobb is a great player. He has no
set style Of play. He Is able to shape
his work according to surrounding or
attendant conditions. That particular
asset makes him the wonderful player
True, other baseball players are
able to do the same trick, but their
success is not as great as Cobb's be-
cause he has all the natural quail
ications necessary to make him a
great player.
Take Sam Crawford. for instance.
Sam 'is a good hitter. but he always
assumes the same firm stand at the
plate. swinging his black stick up-
wards. Moriarty also plants his feet
and stoops to the same posture every
time he goes to the plate. They have
never varied this batting position
since entering the major league.
Frank Baker. the Philadelphia
slugger, is an example Of the baseball
player who is always trying to do
something to improve his work.
If more players would try to Inn
prove their work by attempting a shift
in style once in a while. figuring out
plays would be less mechanical.

LIVERPOOL WHEAT
HIGHER TODAY
Unfavorable Weather in the
Spring Wheat Belt-Frost
Predicted in Northwest.

Minneapolis. Sept. 1s.-Lverpool
wheat at 1880 p. m. was 3.8 to 1-2
higher than Saturday. The heavy
worlds shipments were offset by the
demand from the continent.
The opening in the Minneapolis
market was at a higher level owing to
the flrmness In Liverpool and unfav-
orable weather in the spring wheat
belt. Temperatures were very. low in
the Canadian northwest and there
was considerable moisture In the
American spring wheat country. Re-
ceipts however were SO heavy that the
market turned weak and prices de-
clined about a CEN from the early
high point. The primary receipts to-
day weer extremely heavy. the total
today amounting to 3,174,000 bushels
compared with ~1,714.000 bushels a
year ago.. The receipts in Duluth
were on a liberal scale and the total
there today was 1895 cars against las
cars a year ago. Minneapolis today
GIG compared with 773 a year ago.
The forecast for North Dakota was
fair with a heavy frost, warmer Tues
day.
The United States visible supply Of
wheat showed an increase Of $780,
900 bushels for the past week.
Worlds shipments 14.576,0 900 bushels.

Minot, n. D., Sept. 16.-Preferring
a life of hardship with her two little
girls by her side to one of compare
tive ease without them. Mrs. Bob
Murray. who was abandoned by her
husband. has refused to give up her
little girls. When Mrs. Murray who
was without funds applied for work
sometime ago.. she found that wher-
ever she went people objected to hir-
ing a woman with children. She ap-
piled for position after position only
to find that the children were a hind
rance. Some of her friends suggested
that she place the children in some
of the homes of Minot. It was ex-
planned to her that if she should do
this, she would have no trouble in
getting plenty of work.
II do not want. to part with my
children" said Mrs. Murray. II
would rather go through all sorts of
hardships than to part with them"
Mrs. Murray kept up hope and it
was not long before she secured
work. and now she has her children
by her side during her daily work.

Two Brothers Quarreled Ov-

Towner. N. D.. Sept. l6.-The fam.
Gus Stokely murder trial which will
be brought for trial in October IS
creating considerable interest since
the Stokley brothers were formerly
residents of this city. Details regard
ing the affair which occurred on a
Canadian homestead at Lucky Strike
have been a%nxiously sought. the par
ticulars being rather meagre:
Friends of both brothers state thai
there was no trouble between tho two
brothers because of Fred Stockley's
divorced wife living with the parents
of the brothers. but that the whole
affair arose ove financial affairs. 1t
seems hat the brothers had pla' ed
which to buy stock. and the lrst bad
blood between the boys Was caused
over the settlement. 1t is said that
Fred o several horses. machinery
etc. from the home place when The
other Stockleys We're away. taking
more than his share. This was passed
up. however. but later on Fred came
to his homestead. Ed went after them
later and put them in the pasture at
home. On the day of the shooting Ed
and Sam Stokley We're working at the
barn when they saw Fred in the pas
ture supposedly getting ready to drive
some of the cattle. Fred had a rifle
with him and knowing that he had on
several occasions threatened to shoot
him. Ed Went into the house and got
his gun. He stood at the gate where
he thought Fred would bring the cat
tie out. Hot words We're exchanged
and in the quarrel Fred said he would
shoot Ed right now." Ed then rails
ed his rifle and fired wounding his
brother. who fell to his knees. Think

to carry Ed again shot killing him.
The sad affair with its awful end
ing has cast a gloom over the friends

REVIEW Of LAST
Weeks MARKET
Continued Drain of Cash Re-

New York. Sept. 16.-Last weeks
stock market closed without the &C
tual knowledge revealed by the Sat
urday bank statement Of the extent
to which the readjustment OF bank
accounts had proceeded. q condition
drain Of cash reserves to the interior.
The action Of the stock market of
the week showed that not all Of the
loans which were being recalled by
the New York banks were being TAX
en- up by interior Institutions SO that
some liquidation Of securities was a
necessity.
That professional short selling en-
tered into the explanation of the fall
IN prices was evidenced by the raj
lies. Transfer Of loans called to in
terror banks and the decline in the
foreign exchange rates to the gold
import point afforded resources for
relief from the pressure on stock
market borrowers.

calling loans and the reduction Of de-
post liabilities is not expected to
meet the seasons requirements
against the Withdrawals Of currency
for the crop movement. 1t is expect
ed. also. that loans or call placed by
interior banks to take advantage Of
the higher rate will be further re-
called, as the seasons needs for cur.
rency are extended.
The movement Of cash away from
New York on balance. not unusually
continues In the first Of December.
Operations in the stock market in the
immediate future must rely. therefore.
on credits not subject to those factors
Of contraction.
1t was for this reason that stocks
were freely sold in a week when the
wholly favorable conclusions regard
ing values. The government grain
crop report warrants the definite con-
clusion of the largest aggregate yield
IN the country's history. The favor
able promise for cotton is buttressed
by the necessity Of large reserves
from last years record crop. The
rush of grain to market already
threatens to swamp railroad facili-
ties n from this overplus Of pros
perity some anxiety is felt. Spring
buying of freight ars are being de-
nvered and the rush to buy all .s.'s
OF railroad equipment keeps up the
stimulation of the iron and steel trade
in all branches.

unusually high.

ON LITTLE GIRL
Farm Labor Near Wahpeton
Arrested and Bound Over
to the District Court.

Judge Dow. at which he waived ex-
animation, and al bound over to the
district court upon the charge. In de-
fault of bail the man was committed
to the county Jail and will have his
trial at the next term of the district
court.
The little girl was on her way to
Holden. who was driving a a
wagon for a threshing rig working
between Hankinson and Paramount,
passed the child on the road and in
vited her to ride with him. The inno-
cent child accepted the invitation, and
it was during the course of the ride
that the man is alleged to have COM
mitted the indignities which landed
him in the county bastile with the
prospect of severe punishment await
ing him.
The little girl suffered much pain
as a result of the liberties taken with
her. and when questioned told the
story which resulted in the arrest of
Holden. Upon examination she was
found to be quite badly mutilated. and
1t will De weeks before she will re-
cover from the effects of the assault.
Holden is a nan we'll on in years.
from his appearance. having passed
the half century mark. He has been
working in the vicinity Of Hankin-
son as a farm laborer for a number
OF years and is quite we'll known. His
story is not known. having waived pre-
liminary examination and what plea
he will make at his trial is entirely a
matter of conjecture at this time.
