CROP INJURED IN
. ARGENTINE BELT
Market Rallies Nearly Cent
a Bushel With Excited
Buying on Advance

Chicago, November 1l.-widening Of the
damaged area in Argentina turned the
wheat market upgrade today after there
had been a material setback. The close
was nervous. varying from last nights
figures to 7s@1sc advance Other leading
staples all showed net loss-corn Aq3s@
izGsse. oats b@9s@Ac, and provisions 2ih
@1oc.
Increasingly serious news came from
Rosario and Buenos Ayres in regard to
crop injuries by drouth and heat in the
Argentina wheat belt. One dispatch spoke
of ruin beyond repair to wheat covering
100000 in the south part of Buenos
Ayres province Other advices said the
Bahia Blanca and Pampas districts were
badly hurt. 1t was on adverse reports
of this nature that the market rallied
nearly cent a bushel with excited buying
on the advance One house alone was
credited with acquiring more than mil
lion bushels.
Uncertainty as to how far the Argentine
damage stretched was largely responsible
for the early weakness. Experts also were
of the opinion that timely rains might
yet induce vigorous growth. Such in
1luenceS, however, lost erect When more
definite dispatches arrived from south
of the Equator. Note was taken, too. OF
the extreme meagerness of primary ar
rivals, the whole United States aside from
Minneapolis and Duluth obtaining less
than $50 900 bushels.
Government crop figures increased heav-
lily compared with the estimate month
ago, depressed corn Favorable weather
for husking tended also to keep down
prices.
The oats market suffered on account of
continued offerings of Canadian cargoes.
Commission houses, nevertheless, were
fair buyers at moderate declines.
Unloading by packers and stock yard
firms eased provisions. Sales were chief
ly of lard.

Der how he used to give it iron,'
as he called it, to make it bear
fruit? Look, and with a reminis-
cent smile Mark pointed to great
holes in the tree, where his &c
centric relative had deposited old
files, horseshoes and broken bits
of iron.
Mark tried not to think hard of
dead Uncle Peter. Still, he had
reason to expect a better share in
the estate than he had received.
More than once that relative had
shown him a small tin box filled
with a great heap of stored-up
banknotes, with his own name
scratched upon the box.
I'm thinkig of you, lad" the
old man had said. My first duty
is to Tom, according to a promise
given, but I shan't neglect you"
Then, too, when the will was
opened it contained a slip of
paper, reading: Give this letter
to Mark Dawson" but no letter
had been found.
THE snow is too deep to work
in the woods today" said Markt to
Leila one bleak Wintry morning.
Il believe III tackle the old apple
tree"
Eyes, the fuel supply is some
what low answered Leila.
She sang and smiled amid the
teal comfort of the little home
kitchen, keeping time to the
strong echoing stroke of the axe

ooh, Leilag' he gasped. "Seeh
The box-the tin box. Ny name
scratched on the cover. Exactly
the one Uncle Peter showed me
so many times!
In suspense and wonder Leila
stared as the box was placed on
the table. Inside was a letter tell
ing all about it, and-banknotes!
banknoteS ! banBnotes!
Uncle Peter had selected a
queer hiding place for the little
fortune he had put by in ready
cash for his younger nephew.
The enclosed letter settled all
question as to legal ownership.
Why, we, are richp breathed
Leila, marvelingly.
| always was rich with such a
treasure as you; and now" said
Mark tenderly, with the money
to give you luxury as well as
comfort, I wouldn't trade with
multi-tnillionaire."
