1rjn to Bankers

A banker was in the habit of wear
ing his hat a good deal during bust mess
hours, $ in summer the flies used his
bald pate for parade ground, ana in
the winter the cold breezes swept over
its polished surface. A negro work
man on the railroad each week pre-
scented check and drew his wages,
and one day. as he put his money in
a greasy wallet. the banker said: Look
here. Nose, why don't you let some
Of your money stay in the bank and
keep an account with us?" The negro
looked toward him, and with quizzi-
cal look at the derby the banker wore
answered confdentally: Boss. Is
afeard. You look like you was always
ready to start somewhere"

Chicago, Feb. 16-Wheat prices
hardened today influenced by the fact
shat worlds shipments were small and
by statements that rains were inter-
3ering with the harvest in India. In
creasing stocks northwest of here also
counted against the bears. The market,
after opening shade off to shade
up, made moderate general advance.
What were thought to be signs of
export business at Duluth tended to
keep quotations firm. The close was at
" to x cent net advance.
Corn.
Higher cable had a bullish effect on
corn. Pit offerings were light. Prices
started a shade to y and 4 cent above
Saturday nights figures and scored
some further gain.
Reports that stocks all over the east
were light helped sustain the market.
The close, however, was easy. at the
same as Saturday night to a sixteenth
higher.
In oats a little scattered buying
proved sufficient 70 keep the market
firm.
Provisions.
Provisions suffered from lack Of de-
mand. First sales We're at unchanged
prices to decline Of 23s TO 3 cents
and there was subsequent additional
sag.

Chicago Feb. 16.-Firmness in wheat
was due in part to higher cables and
to strength in our northwestern mar
kets and in Winnipeg. The north
western situation appears steadier and
Nebraska is selling free to Minneapolis
and in limited quantities to Chicago
Worlds shipments were lighter than
last week or last year, but the fact that
Russia contributed about one-third of
the total was interpreted as showing
that they hold liberal supplies Of wheat,
which will be asked more freely from
now on. Reports from winter wheat
territory indicate little. if any, damage
to date from cold weather. Flour bust
ness is as good, as IS indicated by
domestic and foreign shipments. At
the moment this appears to be the
most butlish argument on wheat.
Corn-Corn was steady throughout
the day, closing unchanged to shade
higher. Strength in wheat prevented
the local crowd, who were mostly bear
1sh, from making any Roadway. The
