COurier'S Markets Of World
BULLS IN SADDLE;
WHEAT MOVES Up
UNFAVORBALE CROP REPORTS
FROM THE ARGENTINA GIVE
AS CAUSE FOR RISE.

Chicago Jan. 21.-Wheat advanced
today on account of unfavorablc har-
vest reports from Argentina where cs-
Inmates Of the surplus had to be again
reduced. Cold weather northwest of
Chicago tended also to help the bulls
as fears We're aroused that severe
drop in temperature might occur
throughout the winter crop belt The
market opened "a to "A a. 70 higher and
made a slight additional gain.
A more decided bulge took place later
the result Of export sales at New York
and Of predictions that Russia would
not ship freely before spring. The close
was steady B@A to "A a 70 above last
night.
Failure of the Argentina crop to
maintain recent high promise gave
some strength to corn. but offerings be-
came decidedly plentiful at slight
advance. Prices started the same as
last night to Nc higher and seemed in
clined to keep within that range.
Subsequently, reports showing five
to seven per cent decrease in the num-
Der of meat producing animals on
farms compared with year ago acted
as a depressing influence. The close was
easy a to N q &c net lower.
Oats hardened with other grain but
demand was small
Weakness at the yards left the pro-
vision market without friends. First
sales were IN @5 to ten lower and a
further sag followed.

DR.. Edward G. Spitzka, one Of the
most noted brain experts of America,
whose works have been used in the
courts for years in insanity cases,
died just at the time a date was being
set by the supreme court Of New
York for his examination in an alien,
alton suit jeweler had brought
against him.
The doctor, who was about sixty,
two years Of age, was accused by Jo-
seph Gershgall with having taken the
affections of his wife. Gershgall
wanter $4,000. The lawyers were in
an Office arranging that the doctor
should testify Jan. 16, when they re,
ceived word over the telephone that
he had been stricken with apoplexy
and had passed away
DR.. Spitzka had been in contro'
versies with Professor LombrOso, the
! Italian crimnologist, over questions
in connection with insanity and the
brain, and he was known to European
men o. science. Numberless lawyers
have quoted him in court In insanity
defenses. and he was looked on as
one of the highest authorities by the
courts.

MARKET NOTES

! Wheat traders last night We're unable
! to read their market with any degree
| Of satisfaction. Those who knew of the
cash business We're encouraged to look
for better prices in view of the predic-
tons of colder weather. Those who
looked at the weakness in Toledo and
the reduction in the cash premiums for
red here and the break in corn were
disposed to be bearish.
A report came from Minneapolis yes
terday that the government had issued
statement showing the spring wheat
crop of Minnesota and the Dakotas as
&c, 900 900 bu larger than previously es
timated, or 100000 blu. There has
been no such report issued. The govern
ment has never been known to issue a
supplementary report. The report is
said to have originated at Minneapolis
among elevator men who in checking
up their country houses have found
that there was more wheat than they
had figured on.
Foreign crop reports were slightly
less favorable, due to cold weather and
lack of snow covering in France, Ger
many and Hungary. Press messages,

Valentine FaVOrS
s''I''S ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

THE girl who can WELD water color
brush and who has original ideas
OF her own can make many novel and
pretty valentine favors at little cost.
For the world of flowers and lovers and
the arrows of cupid and his old, old
target are at her disposal for designs.
But not all girls can paint, and some
times the girls who can paint lack time
enough to make original cards and
gifts.
The packages Of ready cut mat paper
hearts, arrows and cupids ell of them
either a pretty rose pink or a bleeding
heart red, are among the most useful
things. package holds from twelve
| to thirty-siX according to size. for
there are various sizes of each of these
shapes. from the little ones an inch or
so long or across 10 the hearts that are
four inches in diameter.
Then. besides these ready cut SYM
bols OF st. Valentine, there is a variety
OF new Grape papers and napkins in
the most fascinating designs and
hearts and cupids and arrows and f1ow-
ers can be cut from these and pasted
to sitter papers.
One of the prettiest napkins has a
heart outlined on 1t with wild roses,
and each corner has one or a pair of
| rose colored hearts. This big rose out
lined heart might be cut out and used
to applique on a white cloth or to use
as q dolly on a cloth.
| In the latter case ii would be better
| to re enforce the Grape with a stronger
paper back before cutting. The pretty
rose coored double hearts In the COR
nerS might be used as place cards with
a narrow arrow of white paper across
for the name and ribbon at the top.
Across the top OF one of the Grape
papers there is a string Of hearts of
various sizes in pretty rose color and
these might be cut out and used for
place cards, to decorate tally cards or
menus, around ice cups, etc. The lower
side of this paper has a lovely festoon
OF wild roses caught up with big red
ribbon bows
! This paper. cut out around the edge
of the wild rose festoon and used over
frill OF rose colored paper would
make a very effective drapery for a
table or booth.
