BULLS. OF OPINION ADVANCE
WILL CONTINUE WHILE PRICES
FOR DELIVERIES PREVAIL.
SELLING ORDERS PREDoMlN-
ATE BUT RALLY ENSUES
Dealers Look for Reaction After Ad-
vance Of IS Cents Within a Week.
Strong Rally Marks Ciosins-Oats
Weak at Start-Provisions Weak
With Hogs and Grain.

Chicago, Nov. 6.--Altho selling
orders predominated in the corn mar
ket today at the opening, the weakness
which ensued did not prove to be of a
lasting character. Most OF the selling
was based on opinions that reaction
was due after an advance OF 10 cents
within q week. Bulls were or the
opinion that the market for further
deliveries would continue to rise as
long as corn available for immediate
delivery was valued at the present big
premiums over the nearest future de-
livery. Opening prices which ranged
from Il to cents net lower, with
December ct 1873 to l.Ss and May at
1907 to 1.31 were followed by rally
that in some cases carried the market
over yesterdays finish.
Later the market weakened again
owing chiefly to assertions that car
shortage was being Rlleviated Be
sides, It was reported that as a result
of offerings from Manchuria- the Pa
ciac coast was canceling orders roV
corn shipments from Minneapolis. The
close was heavy. to 3 net lower, with
December ut t1.s7ts to s1.37% and
May at sI.29A TO sl.2ea.
Oats.
Oats like corn. rallied after an ini-
tial rush OF selling orders. The start,
which was q to y down, including
December at 72ls to 72& was followed
bv q slight further sag and then a
nearly complete recovery.
Provisions.
Weakness of hogs and grain had n
depressing effect on provisions. Sell
ing was not aggressive.
Rallies which took place failed TO
last.

After tea, as the children and
their mother were sitting ON the
porch, uncle Bob came around the
house with hit OF thread in his
hand. At the end Of this hung the
missing tooth. See what l found
in old Bess' mouth" said he, laugh
ing.
" Harry, said Uncle Bob, "she
must have come along while you
were asleep and eaten the apple,
and the string has got caught in
her teeth.
Harry laughed till he cried to
think of old Bess as a dentist.
The next day he presented her
with a peck Of apples for the serv-
ice which she had rendered him so
kindly as he slept. And so it was
that Harry's tooth was pulled

The Riper

It's the glory Of the morning,
IT'S the coming of the dawn.
And the SUN rising red DER the
hilltops.
When the mist from the river is
gone.
It's the laughing rush Of water,
It's the thrushes' morning song,
And the splash Of the bass when
he's feeding.
The rocky banks along.
It's the far-off blue of the noun
tains,
It's the green of the nearer hills.
And the deep blue-green of the
river,
The woodsman's heart that
thrills.
It's the wonderful glow Of the fire.
light.
It's the call of the whip-poor-will,
And the quiet hush at the midnight
hour.
When all the world Is still.
It's the moon rising over the tree
tops,
It's the lullaby Of the pines.
And the wonderful song Of the
river
Where the white spray leaps and
shines.
So, pal, is it any wonder.
When we live dull city lives,

The Thirsty Chrow

A crow, ready to die with thirst.
flew towards a water pitcher that
he saw at distance. When he
came to it, he found there was so
little water in it, that he couldn't
even touch the surface with his bill.

was able to drink all he wanted.

Then she hoped up to bunch OF

The twins seemed dumbfounded.
For a minute they did not make a

screaming louder than ever they
began Jerking at the chokecherries
