What Past Week Brought.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-Lowest prices on
the crop for several years we're wit
messed in the wheat market the past
week, liquidation being on almost from
start to finish The short interest is
immense, and any bull news of
radical kind would start a buying
furore that would lift prices. Inves-
tors are hesitant due to the new tariff
and currency legislation. The period
of large movement and accumulation
o. stocks has passed it's maximum
and the United States and Canada
are the only countries pressing their
wheat for sale abroad. This all should
help the investor
Corn-The fact that the crop is
about 700,000,000 bushels short of last
year and the smallest in 10 years being
lost sight of momentarily, while the
purchase of 100000 bushels Argen-
| tine corn to come TO this country was
made much of. Country offerings arc
small, both of old and new, and while
/ the first cars of the new crop reached
market the past week it will be over
d month before it commences 70 move
in volume, and the arrivals so far
have been of very poor quality. Casl
demand is improving steadily, ant
while setbacks are expected from
time to time the oversold condition
of the market seems to warrant pur
chases on depressions for gooc
turn.
Oats were depressed due to offer
ings of Canadian grain, buying sup
port being limited. and mainly from
bears. There appears little in tn,
situation at the moment that war

WAGNER'S REVIEW
Closing Stock Letter.

New York, Oct. 20.-There was a
brisk demand for stocks in the early
trading. but subsequently, there were
rccessions. in the early afternoon, the
tore wa heavy. The downward move
ment started with demonstrations
against Pennsylvania most of the sell
ing of which was based on current
reports on the new financing. At the
same time. New Haven sold down
en- pure absence of demand, and Read
lns seemed to have lost all snap. Ar
birrage houses are estimated to have
bought about 5000 Steel and have
taken also Amalgamated Copper, Erie
and Union Pacific. The outlook for
immediate future seems to be for a
professional trading market. but as
near as We can see, the buying in
stocks during the last two or three
stock exchange sessions has been bet
ter than the selling.

Stocks-We believe holders should
exercise patience and caution. The
structure of this market is not sim
liar to that of 1893, 1904 or 1907. The
vulnerability of the market is Just
the reverse of those years. Basic
conditions do not warrant lower quo
tations and the technical side of the
question is distinctly favorable TO
holders.

 For more than half century, Cardui has been used successfully to prevent unnecessary pains caused by womanly troubles. such as headache, backache, side ache, dragging sensations, etc.
 It also acts as a general tonic, for the weak, tired, worn-out womanly system.

WINNING A WELCOME
By BLANCHE HARPER,

Well, what have you there?" ex- claimed Mrs. Morton as Marjory, all out of breath, entered the room
 Wait and see," mysteriously an- swered her daughter as she undid the wrapping paper.
 "A canary!" cried Mrs. Morton. What will you bring home next? Where and how did you get this bird ?"
 Dorothy sent for me this morning and said that although she was all ready to go to Atlantic City she couldn't leave until she knew that her bird would be cared for during the summer. Her relatives absolutely re- fused to take the poor thing, and she declared that If I was any kind of a friend this was my opportunity to prove 1t. So what could l do?"
 But, my dear, we never owned a bird. We don't understand anything about their food, drink, bath or habits. And every one says bird is dread ful care-they're always catching cold or melting or something"
 "I know. 1 told Dorothy all that and so she gave me written instructions, cautioning me to follow them i'm plicitly.
 "Listen!" said Marjory, unfolding a slip of paper. Bath Mondays and Thursdays. Cage to be covered at S:30 each evening. Small lettuce leaf Mondays and Wednesdays. Sliced ap- pie on Tuesdays. Fresh seed and wa ter daily. Cage cleaned daily. And 1000 other directions
 It's an imposition!" declared Mrs. Morton. Its not necessary for Dor othy to promenade the boardwalk at Atlantic City while we sit at home and worry over her pet"
 After Morton had worked an hour that evening adjusting a bracket for the cage he said peevishly: "One does impose on ones friends abominably Here we have rank outsider simply thrust upon us through no fault of our own. Some people have-well, what you might call nerve"
 At eight o'clock the next morning Marjory's brother Bert came to break fast with a scowling face.
 Where did that blooming bird hail from?" he demanded. He has kept me awake since five o'clock with his i everlasting singing"
 Marjorys married sister soon ran i'll with her pet kitten, as was her GUS

tom. She was greeted with a scream from Marjory. Mildred, don't you dare to step into this house with that cat! Can't you see Dorothy's bird ? Please. please go home-quick!
 Very we'll" answered Mildred in icy tones. If you care more for Dor othy's silly bird than for me and my darling Mopsy we shall not trouble you any more with our unwelcome presence" Then the irate sister marched out of the room.
 q wish had never seen that horrid bird or Dorothy, either!" lamented Marjory.
 After two months absence Dorothy returned and claimed her canary. The first evening after the birds departure Marjory noticed that both her father and her mother kept gazing at the empty bracket where the bird had swung and sung.
 Presently Bert exclaimed: Tt f~ats all how empty this house seems with out that bird!"
 Marjory wiped away tear. I've had the blues all day" she said. I've missed Dickie so. If Dorothy had been the least bit appreciative she would have let me keep him a few weeks longer, anyhow"
 The next morning Morton on his way to his office stopped at bird store and purchased canary.
 Mrs. Morton. before keeping her ap- pointment at the dressmaker's, went to bird dealers and purchased a canary.
 Bert, recollecting the empty bra.n- ett, on his return from business dropped in at department store and purchased canary.
 Marjory. by this time firmly believ- ing that no family is complete without a bird, took her savings and purchased a canary.
 That evning each member of the family entered the dining room carry ing bird cage. Then they all beheld

ALL CAPITOL EMPlOYES REST

 The exceptions were in the senate where the debate on the tariff bill was resumed, and in the state, war and navy departments and the execu tive offices, where the Mexican situ. ation compelled watchfulness.

 This did not prevent Secretary Tu. multy from putting in an appearance at the White House, to which Presi- dent Wilson is expected to return from his vacation at Cornish, N. H., today or tomorrow. The heads of the other departments interested in watching the Mexican problem were equally plc>npt.
 The house did not meet,
