Provisions.

Butter-Although the butter market
is firm, there will probably be no fur
Their advance and indications are that
prices will remain fairly stationary ALI
winter. At Chicago fancy butter con-
tinued scarce this week but under
grade stock was not wanted. At New
York the market is firm with unchanged
prices.
Cheese-Local quotations remain the
same and prospects are that there will
be no change for some time.
Eggs-There has been a decline of so
cents per case in the local market This.
is due to the fact that eastern storage,
grades have taken tumble. Indica-
tions are that there will be still further
declines. At New York the storage egg
deal appears worse off now than it has
ever looked, and prices have generally
declined. At Chicago trade in fresh
eggs was slow.
Poultry-There is no material change
IN local poultry conditions. Quotations
continue the same on all fowls, with
the demand fair.
Dressed Meats-Although there has
been no change in any of the quota
lions an advance is expected on beef
next week. This is due to the short
age of cattle and to the fact that most
OF the stock has to be shipped in from
Montana. Although there is a good
supply of mutton, the price of that com
modify will probably rise in sympathy
with beef. Quotations on hogs are ex
pected to decline, as the packing season
is on. This is the season of the year
when farmers are killing their stock and
bringing it to market. The fact that
farmers would require a cold storage
Keeps them from killing their hogs in
the summer.

lately, for my part. You probably did

Stanton sat erect. All Floyd's sus-

mind.

his expression. What you are imagin-
ing Is quite correct. l tried very hard

Company instead of for the Mercury
The ATLANTA absolutely required a

So that had been what she wanted
of him. That had lain behind her
polished surface of gracious admira-
ton and had been the core of her in
sincerity.
And when | would not drive for
your company, you tried to prevent
me from driving for my own?" He
wondered incredulously.
She looked at him. and looked away
again.

ciety woman is not trained to practical

Her flawless self-possession gave an
effect of unreality to the whole affair.
Stanton felt vertigo of the mind.
You had that purpose in view
when you first spoke to me at the
Beach twenty-four hour racer" he
questioned. you hoped to induce
me to wreck my car by fast driving, in
order to leave the ATLANTA better

"Oh, mol" she deprecated. 81 never

you think me? No, that was merely
an impulsive experiment; i wanted TO
see If you would do as | wished. Some
men have done So"
Are you going to tell me that you
drugged me at Lowell. on the eve of

"Drugged you? That is a harsher
description than l ever gave the Incl
dent in my own mind. But | poured
into your coffee what Archer Ross had
