Wagner's Summary

Chicago. Nov. 1S.-Wheat and corn
are acting in line with Nov. to 80.
Corn becomes soft after small bulges.
Wheat nervous with a tendency to
rally after declines. Crop can be dam
aged severely up to the end of Decem-
Der.
Morning papers pronounce the wheat
outlook soft. Export oats demand has
declined.
Wise men in corn say do not sell
December corn at this level. Europe
is buying some of our new corn. In
hundreds of localities new corn sells
at SSc to 44c. The crop is so huge
that harvesting work still proceeds.
This interferes with corn movement.
Prices are down and the farmer is in
no hurry to rush few cars to market.
| My reports indicate a normal Deem
| Der movement if cars can be secured.
About 20 points in the central west
report rains in the past "a hours. The
downfalls have been we'll scattered and
may affect farm work little.
Liverpool wheat and corn comes I'M
changed. War news not alarming.
Central Illinois still insists that no
corn is being offered by the farmers
Decatur grain dealers say, however,
that as soon as husking is completed
some corn will be sold regardless OF
price.
The general western run of hogs
cattle and sheep this week compares
we'll with last year. Chicago hog re
ceipts are well absorbed, however, and
sentiment is cautious as to the bear
side of products.

New York, Nov. 13.-The London
market is not very interesting this
morning. The tone of newspaper COM
ment as to stock market affairs is
practically unanimously optimistic 1t
should be noted, however, that a morn
ing paper, possessing as a rule super
Tor sources of Information, makes a
statement that the president-elect will
call an extra session of congress. That,
we do not like.
The decisions of the arbitration
board, it is now said. will be handed
down tomorrow. although we have
been told they were not likely to be
forthcoming until Saturday.
Gables received from London are
quite optimistic with regard to the Bal
kan situation.

THE FINAL VERSION.

There have been a number of yer sions of the disposition of a certain trophy cup offered by Pinney & Rob inson to the school winning the re- lay race in the recent valley track meet and thus far none of them have been exactly correct There was some trouble over the decision in the contest and the cup was really not awarded to any one The Tempe department of this paper a short time later erroneously printed a story to the effect that the cup had later been awarded the normal by Pinney and Robinson Yesterday morning The Republican printed an- other story in which it was asserted that the normal bought the cup and had it engraved as having been awarded for the winning of the race. Now comes the manager of the nor maj track teams with the following statement The cup was not given to the normal school, neither was it purchased by the normal. It was bought by Ned Craig and is in his possession as private cup and is in no way connected with the nor mars display of trophy cups"
 The relay was decided as no race by the judges and will probably be run over March 3Oth. the winners to receive similar cup from Pinney X Robinson

Atlanta, Ga.,-"SOmc of my friends who live only two blocks from me. did not know me when they met me on the street the other day" writes Mrs. Ma tie Christopher, of this city.
 "I look so much better now than they ever saw me. They were sur prised, and asked me to excuse them for not speaking to me.
 I told them I felt better too. and that it was all due to Cardui, the womans tonic.
 I had suffered for 20 years with fe- male trouble. which, at times. was so bad that for six weeks I would go on without seeing anything.
 Home remedies and doctors medi- cines did me no good, but Cardul worked like a charm.
 I will always praise CarIui for what it has done for me"
 If you are pale, don't use the rouge pot and change your appearance by artificial means.
 Follow a more natural course and take Cardui the woman'S tonic.
 It will enrich your blood, build UT your constitution. and make you look better and feel better as it has been doing for other ladies during the past half a century.
 Get a bottle from your druggist. He sells and recommends it.

 This proposition involves the trans fer of all the property of the present normal school to the new college to be created. which college will then consist of an agricultural college of 1ull college rank with an experiment station and a regular normal school as at present provided for by law for the training of teachers for the schools of the state
 The first reason urged for the establishment of an agricultural col lege in connection with the normal school is that in most states training in agriculture has already been made a part of Jhe training of teachers. and this must soon come in Arizona
