Wheat.-In essential particulars the
general situation in the wheat trade
was unchanged. While prices moved
up 70 a higher plane, May rising 4l2c'
the principal stimulating influences
were the same az noted in the recent
past. In other words, the buying IS
almost wholly prompted by the grow
ing realization OF the great strength
in the cash situation.
Exports continue large from the
principal Gulf and Atlantic ports, while
receipts are small at primary points.
There was a fairly large decrease ~
the visible supply last week ,o9s,OOO
bushels-Whereas year ago there was
an increase Of 2,5l5,000 bushels. Mean
time receipts at the chief Western
points were only 1,i25,000 bushels

are approved for trading by the Curb Associa'
ton. and it Is required that information con-
ccrning them will be filed from time TO time

"Don't be petulant, darling, tell

Why childl" said her mother sooth-
ingly, "it's not necessary for you to
lie, or even prevaricate. With a stain.
less conscience you can tell the world
that your great-great grandfather came
over in the Mayflower, that your great
grandfather was in the revolution for
three years, and that your grandfather
was in the hottest part of the battle
of Gettysburg. -
"Why mother!" cried Dorinda, Nthis
is all news to mel"
Nevertheless it is true," pursued
her mother gently. ''When they found
your greatgreat grandfather in the coal
hole of the Mayflower it was too late
to do anything but take him along. Your
great grandfather ran merry -go-round
for four years, and if that IS not revo-
luton, what is. And your grandfather
fired the cruelty hot baker s ovens all

as sleeping ROOM"
"a sleeping room!'' I repeated in a
dazed fashion, "for whom? The two
guest rooms are all we ever shall need -
"Fol myself, Margaret. I have been
thinking for some time that we should
have separate rooms,' and here it is per.
fectly feasible. I have said nothing as
we had no extra room in the apart
ment.''
"I}ut, Bob, I don t SEQ"
"Perhaps not, but it will be far more
comfortable for us both, he interrupt
ed. '} shall not disturb you when I
come in, and we will both rest better. -
&C. did not know that I interferred
yitb your rest, I answered, "and if 1
have, why not get two beds and sell the
large one?"
Ono, Margaret, / want room to
myself. The number of sleeping rooms
in this house had good deal to do
with my buying it. I wanted my room

any way, or to interfere with your
other household arrangements
eff [ had known you were planning
any such thing 1 never should have
agreed to move! never!" l repeated,
hurt and shocked at the attitude Bob
was taking. cit is perfectly ridiculous
that this immense room shouldn It do
for us both.

There was in Bob s voice as he an

thankful for my thick veil to hide my
swollen eyes, nothing l could say elicit

me.
Neither of us mentioned the subject
after that day, and yet 1 could not
help a feeling of disappointment and
chagrin when, on the day we. moved
in, l found the room entirely furnished.
AS usual Bob had shown excellent
taste in the really simple furnishings.
A nut brown rug on the floor, a bed,
chiffonier and chairs of cane and ivory
white, some of his favorite etehings and
prints on the wall, table and reading
lamp comprised his outfit.
81 thought perhaps you would get the
draperies for me, Margaret, ,, he said as
we stood in the door looking at the
room. Try and get something in ehintz

So indifferently did he take possess

would have thought we never had eeen-

him to reconsider, to allow me to use
the room as an extra guest room, to
