Weekly Grain Review.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-Increased ex-
port demand boosted the price OF
wheat steadily all week, though the
advance was so gradual that the close
today found December only 2A and
May only LIZ above last weeks clos
ing prices. A sharp decline in today's
brief session, cut down the gains made
early in the week.
It was estimated that the export
sales for the week tota1ed more than
TO- 900, 900 bushels. The decline to-
day was based on the action of Armour
and other leading houses in selling
heavily.
Corn gained 1% to Ia during the
week. The weather was unfavorable
for curing the domestic grain, and
higher prices at Argentine points also
stimulated buying.
Firmness of oats was maintained by
the heavy export demand in the face
of heavy domestic receipts. The weeks
gain amounted to IFS for each month.
Provisions had the support Of the
hog market toward the end Of the
week, despite the fact that more hogs
are being sent to market. Provision
futures gained 10 to 38 cents.

Five minutes later Florence called him
up to learn that he had gone.
What should she do? Jones had
told her to stay in the house and not
leave it. But where was he? Why did
he not come? What was the meaning
of this desertion by the servants? She
wandered about aimlessly looking out
of windows, imagining forms in the
shadows. Her Imagination had not

doors closing softly, but credited it

wanted to be good but did not find
time to be! Florence possessed habit
familiar to most of us; the need of
apples or candy when we are reading.
So she rang tho bell for her maid, in
tending to ask her to bring up some
apples. She turned to her reading,
presently to break off and strike the
bell again. Where was that maid? She
waited perhaps five minutes, then laid
down the book and began to investi-
gate.
There was not servant to be found
in the entire house! What in the
world could that mean? Used as she
was to heartrending suspenses, she
was none the less trrified. Somethins
had taken the servants from the house.
From whence was the danger to come
this time. Where was Jones? Why
did he not return as he had promised
1t was long past the hour when he said
he would be back.
She went into the library and picked
up the telephone. She was told that
Mr.. Norton was out on an assignment.
But that he would be notified the mo-

drawer in the desk. She touched the
