List Closes Higher.

Summarizing the action OF the New
York list yesterday. W. B. Hibbs & Co.
made public the following telegram from
their correspondents:
While trading was not spirited, the
list closed higher. The accumulation OF
selling orders over the weekend was
measre, which perhaps was accounted for
by the somewhat more pacific tone OF
press advices with respect to the Mexi-
can and the German situation. The Steel
statement revealing an increase of over
10000 tons in untitled orders for the
month of March was without influence as
a market factor. The reports of the
prominent copper producers. Utah and
Chino, were very good, and impaired a
moderate degree OF strength to copper
shares, as did the sdvices OF another
large sale of the red metal. There are
no distinct indications of the market
having worked itself out Of the rut. The
professional element is bearish and the
short interest OF late has expanded con-
siderably. Long stocks do not come out
in large volume in the declines"

RISE IN WHEAT
IS PREDICTION
Supply Promises to Be Def
cient in Face of Heavy and
Sustained Demand.
OTHER FINANCIAL NEWS
List Closes Higher. Although Trading
Is Not Spirited-Fractional Ad-
vances on Exchange Here.
OTHER FINANCIAL NEWS

A stead rise in wheat based on a situs-
ton which may prove serious in the
market. was confidently predicted yester-
day, as the supply promises to be de-
ficient this year in the face OF a heavy
and sustained demand. II Is pointd out
that the consumer will continue to de-
mand wheat in the present volume for
some time after the war ceases and the
meeting OF that demand win be up to
the years supply, which Is already de-
ficient. An indication of the present de-
mand. due to war conditions. can be
gathered from the following comparison:
Receipts of wheat at primary markets
on this crop exceed by 10000. 900 bushels
the crop year preceding the beginning
OF the war, and this enermous demand
is indicated by the fact that practically
all contract grades OF cash wheat are
now selling at premium over futures.

The market was firm and for that

Palidori floods the is- land and kidnaps Golden's little daughter Margery Twelve years later in New York a Masked One rescues MarSery from Le- gar and takes her to her fathers home, whence she is recaptured.

crossed the room to the vault and swung to the heavy safe door.
 With an oddly birdlike movement of the head the girl stopped and stared in- tently at his figure, clearly outlined against the dark folds of the pOrtieres behind him. Then, instead of locking the vault door. she took four swift steps to the heavily carved lockwood table to her right In another moment she had caught up a Roman lamp of solidly cast bronze and, with all her strength, hurled it at the swaying DOT tiere behind him. "Legari" was her cry. And at the same moment she ut. tered shrill cry of warning
 It was time. From behind one of the folds of the portiere she had glimpsed an iron claw at the end of a preternaturally long arm. And as this iron claw was lifted high in the air she cried out as she caught sight of the glint of a naked steel knife blade Q
 Her warning was sufficient. Lightly the Laughing Mask leaped to one side. By this time Legar was in the room itself, and as he advanced he drew a revolver from his pocket.
 But the man in the mask was more agile than his enemy. He swung Margery about ia a twinkiing and whisked her back to the vault, where with one tug of his free hand he swung the vault door open. Legar fired. but the bullet ricocheted harmleSsly against the open safe front of steel
 Father keeps a navy revolver in the coin drawer of the vault here whis- pered Margery as the man in the mask pushed her more deeply into the shadow of the protecting door.
 At the moment that the Laughing Mask swung about and tugged open the coin drawer Wilson and a round eyed footman, having heard the sound of, the shot and having previously faileds to get any answer to the tele phone, came running to the library door But before they could open that !deor l4egar, realizing that h.s,time was short, had taken matters into his own hands, Charging bodily asaiast the .stfh halfopen vault docrs he stEung i. 'shgt upon the Laughing Mask and llfargory before they had time to re&iiaea his intent Then Legar threw
