FRESH DECLINES FOLLOW
NORTHWESTERN REPORTS
Liverpool Strength, However, Tend
ed to Give Values at Chicago q
Little Support.

CHICAGO. October 23.-Fresh declines
took place in the wheat market today,
owing to good weather northwest, and
the continued big receipts. Strength in
Liverpool. however, tended to give
values here a little support. It was
denied by a leading British authority
that any important amount Of supplies
was likely to be forthcoming from Rus
sia.
Opening prices, which ranged from y
to n lower. with December at 99H to
100. and May at 102 to 102h, were fol-
lowed by moderate further loss, and
then something Of a reaction.
Corn Prices Lifted.
Hope of European business lifted
corn. Besides the stock on hand here
was expected to show a fair decrease
for the week. After opening unchanged
to " higher. the market scored a slight
general advance.
Oats were steadied by the frmness of
corn. Persistent selling on the part
OF the chief elevator companies had
little effect
Higher prices for hogs helped provi-
sions upgrade. Buying, though, was
small.
Weekend evening-up transactions
resulted later in a little advance for
wheat. but the upturn soon gave way
to sharp break, especially after es-
Inmates that arrivals Monday in Win
nipeg would aggregate 1000 cars. The
close was steady. 1Aa1A to 2ss net low

War specialties and similar issues
again claimed more than their share of
speculative attention in this weeks
active market. These stocks made up a
very large percentage of the active

Many new high prices were made,
Bethlehem Steel leading the movement

When Raymer had gone, the oppor
tunity which BrofIin had so lately
craved was his. Miss Grierson was
left alone on the big veranda, and he
had only to step out and confront her.
Instead, he got up quietly and went
back through the lobby with his head
down and his hands in his pockets,
and the surviving bit Of the dead cigar
disappeared between his strong teeth
and became a cud OF chagrin. There
had been a goal in sight, but Miss
Grierson had beat him to 1t.
And the winner of the small handi-
cap? With a deep breath-drawing that
was almost a sob, Miss Grierson sprang
up. stole a swift confirming glance at
the empty chair behind the window
hangings, and crossed the veranda TO
stand with one arm around a support
ing pillar. And since the battle was
fought and won, and the friendly pill
lar gave its stay and shelter, the vel

All That a Man Hath.

For four entire days after Margery
Grierson had driven home the nail Of
the elemental yerites in her frank
criticism of the new book, and Char
lotte Farnham had clinched II, Wa
haska's public places saw nothing Of
Griswold; and Mrs. Holcomb. mother

scoldingly with her second-hoor front
who was pushing the pen feverishly
from dawn TO the small hours, and
evidently-in the kindly widows
phrase-burning the candle at both
ends and in the middle.
Out Of this candle-burning frenzy
the toiler emerged In the afternoon of
the fifth day, a little pallid and tremu-
lous from the overstrain, but with a
thick packet Of fresh manuscript to
bulge in his pocket when he made his
way, blinking at the unwonted sunlight
of out-of.doors. to the great house at
the lakes edge.
Margery was waiting for him when
he rang the bell; he guessed it crate
fully, and she confirmed il.

witching little grimace which could be
made to mean so much or so little.

with a swiftly sympathetic glance for
the pale face and the tired eyes.
You've been oyerworking again. Let's
sit out here on the porch where we
can have what little air there is. There
must be a storm brewing; it's posi-.
lively breathless in the house."
Griswold was glad enough to ac.
qulesce; glad and restfully happy and
mildly intoxicated with her beauty and
the loving rudeness with which she
pushed him into the easiest of the
great lounging chairs and took the
sheaf Of manuscript away from him.

The Valley Of Dry Bones.

The cyclonic summer storm had
blown itself out, and the clouds were
beginning to break away in the west.
when Griswold, obeying Margerys
urging to go home and change his
clothes, turned his back upon Mereside
and his face toward a future of thick

Griswold had not deceived himself,

confinement to deceive him. The
