CHICAGO November 2.-Bullish cable
advices gave the wheat market today a
decided upward swing. Quotations

vance, and were accompanied by dis
patches saying the purchase of wheat
from Bulgaria on the part Of Greece
was causing serious political complica-
tions. Smaller receipts in the Amer
lean northwest operated also against
the bears.

bulls. Opening prices, which ranged
from Y to II higher. were followed by
a moderate additional upturn.

SCOPE OF RESERVE BANKS.
Ruling Permits Them to Engage in
Open Market transactions

Reserve banks may engage in open
market, transactions aside from the
purchase of acceptances, according to
a ruling of the federal reserve board.
This will allow the purchase CT cable
transfers and bills of exchange.
Because Of. abnormal conditions pre-
vailing in Europe, the banks should be
more than usually cautious In any for
eign exchange operations at this time,
urges the reserve board. Regulations
may be issued later II such business
assumes large proportions.

Leqend of BeIqian Lacemskers.

Once upon time there was a girl, a dark-eyed Venetian girl, whc had a lover-all Venetian girls had, once upon time. She was lacemaker, he was sailor; and one day when he had just returned from the Indian seas she showed him the lace she had been making. Thereupon he tossed into her lap a wonderfully delicate piece of coral and told her it was lace tue mer- maids wove in their caves deep under the sea.
 And when he had gone again she set herself to weave her bridal veil; after the pattern of the coral she wove. Filmy seaweed, fiuted shells, tiny sea. horses and starfish grew under her hand until at last the veil was finished and it was time for her lover to return. This is real story, so-he came back, and they were married, she in the veil it had pleased her fancy to make. Whether the wedding was quiet one or not, all Venice heard of the veil Queens and princesses sought her out and point de Venise" became the rage.-Vogue.
