GRAINS HIGHER IN CHICAGO
Export Demand Sends Wheat Up
Provisions Market Lower.

Chicago Nov. 15.-Revival OF export de-
mand here and at Baltimore gave cour-
age to-day to the bulls in wheat. Accord
ingly, the market closed steady Mt hazc
net advance Corn finished hQ1Isc up
and oats with a gain OF k91sc, but pro-
visions were down 5dl5c. BY many
traders most significance was attached to
sales of hard wheat here to exporters.
Verified transactions in this line amount
ed to 175, 600 bushels and attracted special
notice BECAUSE OF assertions that other
similar purchasing here had been kept
private In addition. Baltimore sent word
of liberal engagements Of ocean freight
room, notably for Cardifr.
Reduced crop estimates put the Argen-
tine wheat yield at the lowest figures yet
mentioned and cut down the exportable
surplus to 100000 bushels, as against
II. 900, 900 twenty-four hours before. Range

THE CROP MARKETS
Grains All Show Advances
Coffee Splits Changes.

Foreign crop conditions were the
governing influence in the wheat mar
ket yesterday, but buyers were not over
anxious about stocking up. and although
conditions were in their favor, the net
advance for the day was only 4 q sc.
Corn was firm on the strength Of small
stocks in the West and the effect Of
this condition on the December option.
The close showed December 1c up from
the previous close, with other months
40 nc up. Oats followed corn, gain
ing u a 1ec net
Mixed conditions prevailed in the cof-
fee market, foreign frmness causing an
early advance. which was partly lost
when Brazilian shippers were credited
with being willing to sell at conces-
sions. The close was rather heavy,
prices being l point below to points
above the finals of Friday.

Samuel insult, speaking before the In
vestment Bankers Association conven-
ton in Chicago recently, had the follow
ing to say:
From 1886 to 1898 the amount of cleo
trio current which could be purchased for
81 remained the same. From 1898 down
TO the present time, partly from improve
ments in lamps and partly from improve
ments in generating and transmission sys-
TEN, this amount has been steadily in
creasing until now there has been an i'm
provement OF 26S per cent In lamp eff
cheney and decrease in the average rate
of els per cent.
This" said Mr.. insult, SHOWS to my
mind the fundamental principles govern
ing this great business and affecting the
value of its securities issued better than
anything else The Improvement in eff
l. Iii 90 he oruaIlnfia
genius Of great inventors the world over,
and the decrease of rate is attributable to
the ability of the selling engineers of the
various electrical corporations throughout
the country"
In regard to the Commonwealth Edison,
of Chicago, of which Mr.. insult is direct
ing head, he said that In 1898 the company
had many less than 10000 consumers,
while it ended 1872 with 10000 con-
sumers In 1898 the investment per con-
sumner was s1,579 and the gross income per
consumer 500. In 1912 these items had
dropped until the investment per con-
sumner was SAT- and the gross income per
consumer sS7 In 1893 the ratio of income
to investment was 1875 per cent, while in
1912 the ratio of income TO investment
was 81 per cent.
The investor in electric securities may
be interested in the rule of Mr.. insult in
judging the value of these securities He
says: IF 1 were judging the character
of securities would lay greater stress on
the general information which can be
obtained as to the business policy, the
ability to sell the product properly, the
ability to get the best results out Of the
smallest amount of money invested. l
would be more interested by the general
policy of the government Of the business
than almost any other information which
l could obtain"
