was curiOusly touched by this uncon-
scious confidence.
He issued from his ordeal of pain at
last, when the bearers halted in front
Of the line of tents that served for a
field hospital. Stretchers by the dozen
were piled about the ground, and more
were arriving constantly. Wounded
men, guided by the sound, came
limping in on the last lap Of their
painful journeys. Others, who had ar
rived but had not yet been attended
to, sat or lay in front of the tents. Or
derlies were scurrying to and fro. Ma
jor Howard caught one of the regi-
mental surgeons, who looked Mark
over quickly and then picked the child

dicating Mark.

Within the boundaries Of Ukrai-
mia are found the principal available
deposits Of iron ore in Russia. The
development of the iron ore deposits
of the Krivoi Rog district has been
mainly responsible for the rapid
growth of the Russian iron and steel
industry, which now depends to an
extent of about 70 per cent on the
iron ore in the southern part of the

Chicago Oct. 20.-Corn: Opening
higher, the market met with consider
able realizing and short covering with
the highest prices Of the day made at
that time. During the balance Of the
session, the market eased. due largely
TO the elimination of the short inter
est and lack of new buying power.
There was undoubtedly more new corn
to arrive offered but the volume is still
small. On the other hand. the shipping
demand in all markets is good with
sales here of about 100000. Car lots
here unchanged TO "a lower. A car

a car 2 yellow in Omaha $1.37.
Oats: The opening was a shade
higher with corn but the market show
ed a heavy undertone most OF the day
and possibly was affected by a break
of 2H cents in rye. Cash premiums
easier willie the sample market was
a to u higher Cash demand was
slow, exporters being out of the mar
ket and domestic buyers taking hold
in only moderate way.
Provisions: Weakness in lard was the
leading feature. Selling by packing in

about sharp declines. Some export
business in lard is going on.

No one can tell how long these wells
will stand up at their present produc

carry the city through the coming win,
ter months
Since the company made its connec
. ton with these wells, the production
has fallen off as much as 90 per cent
The company at this time has negotia.
tions pending for the purchase Of more
gas.
When the contracts were made for
the production of the wells from which
the company is now taking gas, these
wells were producing more than twice
the amount of gas they are now max
ing. The company has the assurance
Of the gas producers OF Fox and Grl.
ham that they would continue to drill
wells and keep their production up to
the maximum requirements of the com
p1ny, and II was al the request of these
producers who are Ardmorc men, that
the company discontinued taking gas
from the GYPSY OH Company. But when
these people drilled in well offsetting
the big gasser Of the Kirk oil and Gas
Company, in the Graham field, they
found an oil sand instead Of gas, which
shows that the sands in the Graham dis.
trict are somewhat trracherous and
cannot be depended upon.
At this conference it was stated that
The Ardmoreite had evidently been mis-
informed on the gas situation with ref.
orence to the towns Of northern Texas
