Week.

After months of delay. the state has
adopted a ruling providing for a 54-
hour week for women employed in

laundry work may be employed ten
hours, altho the record for the week

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago. Dec. 13.-WHEAT-Owing to
the unfavorable reception given in London
and Paris to the German proposal the
wheat market today showed some tendency
to advance. Decided nervousness was
evident, however, and prices fluctuated
large, but nothing like the big scale
which was attined the previous day. Open
ing quotations which ranged from the
same as yesterdays finish to 2kc higher,
with May at S1.651a to S1.67 and July at
81, ,4S to 81 A. were followed by a moderate
slightly above the initial level
News other than that regarding the
chances of peace received scarcely any at
tention. Quotations closing firm at $16713
to $1.67A for May, and $1.43A to $1.435s
for uJly, with the market as a whole rang
ing from the same as yesterdays finish to
2Ac higher.
CORN-Corn like wheat had an upward
slant. Commission houses were mainly on
the bull side, influenced chiefly by the
outlook against quick truce. After open
ing &c to 15sc higher, the market reacted
little and later scored something of a
rally.

The close was unsettled at 1&c to 112c
net advance.
OATS-In oats as in other grain the
bears were at disadvantage Shorts pur-
chased freely on declines.
PROVISIONS-Less optimism regarding
peace gave a downturn to provisions. Be-
sides. receipts of hogs were unusually
plentiful and quotations at the yards much
lower.

LOVE.
PAMELA CABOT and WAYNE PUTNAM MARRY
FOR LOVE in the face of towering difficulties. Then
come troubles. MEXICAN bandits STEAL their lands;
they are TRICKED AND TRAPPED; PAMELA IS
ABDUCTED by ZABINA, the revoutionist; time and
again they FACE DEATH TOGETHER
Through il all THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER grow,
more intense more inspiring. THEY CLING THE
