Chicago. Oct. 16.-Thc corn market
was most unintcrcsting affair today.
There was apparently no disposition on
the part of either bulls or bears to take
stand until there had been a fresh
turn in the news. Prices held within
narrow range and trading generally
was light and mixed.
Some selling came in because of the
weakness in hogs and the decline in
foreign exchange, but this was offset on
moderate buying sorders Influenced by
the continued unsettled weather apd
covering by shorts by some of the pro
feSsional operators.
Trading was light in the market for
oats and there was no feature. Longs
appeared more confident of their posi-
tiOn and about the only supply came
from traders who took profits. As in
corn. prices held within narrow
range. There was considerable tall,
about exports. but the bids were said
to be out of line.
Reports received from the cast state
that some freight room had been en-
gagged for the first half Of November for
shipments of oats on vessel loading
for Antwerp. In the local pit this was
looked upon as indicating that Ger
many is supplying her wants here
through other countries.
The available supply of oats in the
United States and Canada is estimated
at "a 800 bushels for the week. Th,
total supply of wheat in the Unitct
States and Canada is estimated Al

EPISCOPAL CHURCH SERVICE
(Contributed)

An Episcopal rector called upon member of his congrega- tion who had been neglecting the Church services, and went straight to the fireplace in the sitting-room, and with the tongs removed a live coal from the fire and placed it on the hearth. then watched it while it turned from it's red glow of heat to a black mass. The parishoner who had carefully watched the rector's action then said, "You need not say a single word, sir ; PILL be there next Sunday"
 If all who read this story are as quick to catch the hidden meaning as the man referred to- we may hope that it will pro- duce a similar effect.
 At St. Johns Mission, on Sunday, December 21, will be held the regular Vesper Service at 5 P. M. "Whom the Church is for' will be the title of the rector's sermon.
