was followed by material sag, but then de-
cided upturn all around.
Peace talk from Berlin and the sinking of
tho Mariana led afterward to reactions in IA
of the bears. Wheat closed unsettled at
S190A to S1.905s for December and Sl.S5 to
StS7 for May, with the market a whole half

January touching 1889 and May 1895; spot
houses were moderate buyers and southwestern
spot interests were credited with buying De-
ember while there was considerable covering on
a scale down, but offerings Of long cotton m
creased on all the bulges. Private cables at
tributed the decline in Liverpool to liquidation
and hedge selling.
Liquidation became more active berore ths
end OF the morning. Reports that spot de-
mand was quiet and uneasiness over shipping
conditions which seemed to grow from the re-
ported sinking of n British steamer Off the
Irish coast, evidently served TO unsettle send-
ment Selling became aggressive and stop or
ders uncovered on the break which car
ried the active months about 43 to 40 points
under Saturdays closing figures around midday.

afternoon with prices showing rallies OF IA or

WHAT THE WIND DID
BY Roy Burdick Pease

BY Roy Burdick Pease
. . "a e .
Plain David Brown was used to
plain and hOmely things. He was re-
pressed and homely himself, except
when his great soul spoke forth.
There we're occasions where, in his
lectures at the town college where
he was a professor of metaphysics,
the plain, simple face was trans
formed under the influence of elO-
qUenCe and enthusiasm.
1t was a windy day-in fact, TAX
ing his customary stroll and forced
to hold on his brOad-brimmed hat,
David cast his weather-wise eyes
across the sky and discerned hurri-
cane conditions.
''Il get back to the college," de-
cided David, but just then he noticed
that the Dale place, a cottage that
had been for some time without a
tenant, showed signs of life and ac-
tivity. He had heard that a widow
with two small children, a Mrs.
Briggs, had purchased the place.
THAT must be Mrs Briggs now,
ruminated the professor, who took
note OF everything going on usually.
She was hanging up her washing
and it was a big one. She was young
looking, handsome and alert as she
moved among the futtering gar
ments.
"Oh, dear me-" challenged the pro-
fessor as he turned to regain shelter.
There was a roar, a ripping, tear
ing sound. Down to earth swOOped
a mighty wind. The lady gTasped at
a string of clothes torn loose at both
ends. Then, holding the grouped
mass in her arms, petTiied she saw
the second line of clothes wrenched
from place and go sailing aIoft and
then make a dive.

fessOr about the shoulders, just es-
