Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.

frlceh on bOhFu OF lFaues
CHICAGO, Dec 3l.-Big estimates on
sales of wheat TO Europe in the last
twenty-four hours changed the market
today from feebleness to strength. As a
result the close. although unsettled, was
A@1bc above last night. Other leading
staples, too, all showed a net gain; corn,
hqssc; cast. hq9sc TO 1hc, and provi-
sions, 71k6I15c.
Totals on the amount of wheat bought
for export and not previously announced
were figured all the way from 100000 to
1000, 900 bushels. In addition, the bulls
were encouraged by the purchase OF 49,
900 bushels OF cash wheat here to go to
Portland, Me. A cheering influence was
a late Liverpool cable asserting that Eng
land would need 100000 bushels of
wheat from the United States before July.
Advancing freight rates on ocean vessels
gave an early advantage TO the bears In
wheat. Uncertainty as to the outcome of
the Washington protest to Great, Britain
In regard to interference with shipping
tended also, for while to cause prices
20 decline.
Corn rallied with wheat and owing to
predictions OF a shipping demand from the
Canadian northwest. Country offerings
were not large.
Belated covering by December shorts
was chiefly responsible for the firmness
of oats. The bulk of the trade was local.

their sister, but Powhatan refused
to see her or talk with the white
men. Historians generally agree
that Powhatan never saw his
daughter again and he never was
on friendly terms with the white
men.
When taken prisoner to James
town sPocahontas inquired for Cant,
John Smith in hopes he would re-
lease her. She was told Smith had
been killed. 1t is believed the IN
dian girl had romantic affection
for the daring white captain, hut In
dian like she was too proud to show
u. Eventually young EngIishmen
in the colony fell in love with her.
One OF these young men was John
Rolfe. a gentleman. She returned
his love and agreed to marry him.
In the mean time she had been con-
verified to Christianity and had
adopted the English name OF Rebec-
ca. An appeal was made by Rolfe
to Governor Dale to sanction the
marriage. He gave his consent and
Rolfe and Pocahontas were married
in April, 1913, at Jamestown. 4
AS far as is known the marriage
was a happy one. The bride never
repented her act and never want
ed to return to her savage brothers.
In 1916 Mr. and Mrs. Rolfc left for
a visit in England. There the girl
was o great favorite. She was able
to talk English with readiness and
she attracted all by her simplicity
and UNAFFECTED grace, Among those
to receive her with open arms were
Lord and Lady Delaware. Although

While some historians say 1t was
Capt. John Smith who introduced
Pocahontas in court records show
that statements an error. Pocahon-
tas had been in England several
months before Smith knew Of her
being there. It is not likely that
Lord Delaware delayed presenting
the American princess In court.
James /. was q silly king He was
Mortified to learn such a common
man as Rolfe had presumed to, mar
ry a princess. He also was herri-
fed at a princess who would marry

Pocahontas never was O favorite
with King James; l.. although the
queen bestowed fayers on the vir-
ginia girl. 1t is supposed Smith had
much to do with the girls advance
in favor iii the eyes OF the queen.
Yet Smith was rather cold toward
the princess when he met her in,
Plymouth. Pocahontas had not In
quired for Smith upon her arrival
In England for the simple reason
she believed him dead. When he
came to call on her several months
after, abe was oyerjoyed and run
