CHAPTER XI.
THE BREAKERS

The east dining room was almost
empty now, though the lobby and
the cafe beyond still swarmed with
people arriving and departing. Bran
, des, chatting at the telephone, had
finally succeeded in getting Stull on
the wire, only to learn that the news
from Saratoga was not agreeable;
that they had lost on every horse.
Also, Stull had another disquieting
: item to detail; it seemed that MaXy
Yemen had been seen that morning
IN the act Of departing for New York
on the fast express; and with him
was a women resembling Brandes'
wife.
"Who saw herr" demanded Bran

The haunting uneasiness which
had driven him to. the telephone per
sisted when he came out of the
booth. He cast a slow, almost
sleepy glance around him, saw no IA
miliar face in the thronged lobby,
then he looked at his watch.
The car had been ordered for ten;
It. lacked half an hour of the time;
he wished he had ordered the car

cipal commodities, So advances appearing
this week in the list of quotations prepared
by Dun's Review, as against % recessions.
Heavy arrivals and supplies considerably
in excess of demand had a depressing af-
feet on BUTTE and eggs, but steadiness
prevailed in cheese. Reports of unfavorable
weather and the ready absorption of re-
ee1pts largely accounted for an early rise
in corn, while an active export demand
advanced prices of oats, rye and barley.
In live meats, somewhat more firmness de.
veloped in beef, but sheep and hogs were
easy. as result of more liberal sup
plies. Stocks of provisions were reported
to be showing. some increase, and this,
together with the lower rates for the raw
material, caused a slightly easier tendency
IN most products. No especially important
reYisions in either direction have vet been
announced in iron and steel, and there was
no particular change in the minor metals.
Pronounced strength continues the outstand-
fleeing the broadening demand for mer-
IhandiSe in both domestic and foreign trade
channels, and the unusually high level for
practically all varieties of hides and leather
is fully maintained, with further advances
in some instances
