The skipper Of this freighted craft
Was quite a careless sort
The cargo he did not espy.
Till he hove into port.
And then upon the portside bow,
In raptures he did kneel.
For Santa Claus is no mere dream,
And Christmas toys are REAL

BULLS TAKE HEART
AND BOOST WHEAT
FAIR EXPORT TRADE AND CON-
PLANTS ON RUSSIAN CROP
AID THE MOVEMENT. ..

Chicago, Feb. 9.-Evidence that a
fair amount of export business was in
progress tended today to lift the wheat
market There were complaints Of the
inferior quality of the Russian crop,
and it was pointed out that the bulk OF
the Canadian surplus had been disposed
Of Return Of mild weather in the Unit
ed States winter wheat belt however,
acted as a check on the advance. Open
ing prices which We're Il to A@&c
higher were followed by a dip, but then
the market again showed strength.
Falling off in the visible supply to-
tai led to further upturn in prices but
the effect, failed to last. The close was
easy at a net advance Of shade.
Corn suffered from lack Of demand.
Selling pressure though was only mod
crate. Quotations started unchanged to
NON lower and underwent further
sag.
Enlarged receipts caused additional
weakness. The close was heavy at de-
cline Of u to nc net.
In oats little speculative buying
kept prices comparatively steady. Some
but not all of the purchased were
shorts.
Higher prices for hogs gave firmness
to provisions. Initial sales ranged from
Saturday nights level to sc advance,
with later transactions holding to gain.
