Wheat.-Deliverie on December con-
tracts were much smaller than expect
ed, presumably because Of the heavy
liquidation Of such holdings which
took place early in the week, and at the
outset the market had frmer APP
pearance. This was especially true OF
December contracts, which rallied
somewhat sharply.
European markets were frmer owing
partly TO small exports from Argentina
and to expectations Of light elearances
from all wheat shipping countries out
side Of North America. Moreover, II
was reiterated that much wheat had
been captured or destroyed In Ru-
mania.
Buying was also stimulated by IN
favorabls reports from France, where
the crop was officially estimated at
214,000. 900 bushels, against the usual
average Of 33S,000,0o0. Besides, the
weather 10 that country was said to
be untayorsble for seeding. and the
acreage will no doubt be reduced, part
ly because Of the scarcity Of labor.
After time the market became con-
spicuously weak, prices falling with
much rapidity. This was especially
noticeable in May contracts, which fell
&c bushel from the top OF the Sea-
sion, while December declined Be.
In the Anal trading there was q rally
Of y, which left the May premium
7c a bushel, against Sc on Wednesday.
This outcome was slightly confusing,
being contrary to general opinion. In
short, IL was claimed that the gan
eral weakness was caused by the fear
of still larger deliveries on December
contracts, as well as by the scarcity Of
storage room and the high insurance
rates. Furthermore, it was stated that
the general depression was due to the
placing of an embargo on almost all
railroad lines, which would, it was sup
posed. greatly curtail shipments from
the West TO the East.
There was a decline OF &c in Deem
Der contracts in Winnipeg, followed by
a rally of lzc. IL was alleged that the
weakness there was caused by the linn
tied interest shown By exporters. Still,
this argument was not convincing, as
il ia believed that nearly all the wheat
in that market is owned by exporters
or millers. There was, however, a CON-
paratively light export trade, only
about 100000 bushels being disclosed,
which included q cargo OF hard win
ter for Holland.

work which is mapped out for them.
This beats -Ames all to pieces" one
OF the men told Questioner recently
The convicts were at Ames last year
doing work ON the college campus
Ono OF their main objections to that
town was the quality of food served
them. They claim it was not half as
good as they are getting here. AL
the men are Of the opinion that their
food here is just little better than
they have ever had. Another thing
they like about their present quarters
is the cool grove and the general at
mosphere Of "back to nature" which
the surroundings present.
"When one has been used to living
in brick courtyard, with vailed
sides, and staying at night In CELL
tent in grove seems like real free-

men have their musical instruments
with them and pass the time in the
evening with singing and playing. All
Of the ten here are TRUSTEES, and many
of them are nearly thru serving their

Up to that time the score had been
tied at / to 1 from the sixth inning,
and it looked like an extra-i inning

were going in tip top form, Hickman
holding the Pilots to three hits up to
! the last inning, and had not walked
D., a single man. Jones was equally as
effective. and had allowed only, four
scattered singles.
! The game was the first classy ex-
hibition of the series, and it was
chock full of thrillers from start to
! finish. When the players were not
! furnishing excitement enough Asher
would butt in long enough to slap a
fine on visiting player or eject him
i from the game. LeBeau was the first
to feel the sting of Asher's ire when
| he stuck two s. fines on the fleet
footed left fielder for talking back.
Blank was the next to get it, being
elected from the game in the seventh
inning for talking from the bench.
/ This tended to cripple the visitors,
who had already suffered on account

is expected to report in time for the
opening game in Marshalltown next

him on HarrelIs bunt. Mifligan then

Smyrna times., 1916-10-25

Smyrna Town Council is making TO
mistake in the matter of properly
heating the. Town Hall. The old anti
quated stoves have served their day
and have long been inadequate. This
municipal building is on our hands
and whether revenue producer or not.
it is up TO the town to take care of it
and make it as comfortable for occu-
pancy as possible. Especially should
they endeavor to make it comforta-
BILE for our Volunteer Firemen who
withour pay are ever ready to respond
when called. The Hose Room and
the neatly refnished engine room need
a uniform heat. The new steam plant
should prove a splendid thing for the
whole building, should be economical
in the matter of fuel and better for
the Opera House as we'll as all the
various departments occupying the
building.
