GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-Depression in
wheat prices resulted to-day from con-
tinuance of rural bank failures and from
the failure of a Seattle grain firm. The
market closed unsettled at the same as
yesterdays finish to cents lower, with
December s1.56H to s1.561a and March
$3.50 to s1.50h. Corn lost y cent to
IL cents and oats % cent to 20 cents.
In provisions the outcome ranged from
cents decline to rs cents advance.
Bears had the advantage in wheat ex-
cept in the middle of the session, when
for a while the scarcity of red winter
in all markets was a strengthening In
fluence together with meagerness Of
country offerings. Besides there were
signs OF new activity by exporters.
Word, however, of the Seattle grain
failure led to a repetition OF misgivings
which at the outset of business had pre-
vailed owing to financial difficulties In
North Dakota and Colorado Further
more, considerable selling pressure was
apparently due to a current opinion that
the advance of the last few days was
sufficient for the time being
Corn and oats were chiefly swayed by
the action Of wheat Shipping demand
for feedstuffs was only fair

parative hrmness to provisions.

COTTON MARKET.

Another recovery, one greater than
that of Monday. took place in the cotton
market yesterday when Wall Street and
outside shorts continued to take profits.
Immediate sentiment improved much
despite the unchanged bearish outside
situation, and probably reflected the de-
creased Southern spot pressure and re-
ports of Industrial betterment In some
parts of Europe. particularly Germany.
There was brief period of irregularity
on the CALL but the markets trend was
soon upward. The market did not lose
its excellent undertone during the re-
mainder of the day. Feeling undoubted-
~ was affected by reports that out
siders were giving the market support
and by private advices which called at
tention to strength in the Egyptian flu
lures market
The unsettled action of stocks was
ignored and the sharp break in London
bar silver did not have any effect AT
the outset the market was irregular, 10
poi It's higher to points lower Liver
pool interests acted on both sides OF the
market and commission houses were
early buyers. The market rose steadily
under that support and soon advanced
more than II cent a pound. Liverpool
cables were fairly good, the English
market closing up and English interests
were occasional buyers
In the afternoon business increased
and some options rose nearly S. a bale,
or a cent pound net. Short covering
was active and until the last half hour
the available supply OF contracts was
limited. Besides covering there was good
investment demand from outsiders at
times. which considerably influenced
sentiment Professionals sold late in
the day and the list lost more than half
of it's gain. The close was rs to 38
points net higher. Local spot was 20
points UP at 16 cents.

TheCalendar.

The yearly cycle from spring to spring Or
summer to summer Is q natural measure OF
time. The monthly cycle from one new moon
to another is second. The day is third.
But between the day and the month comes the
week, which is not natural cycle at all,
though it is older than Abraham and firmly
fixed in religion and business and household
routine.
A calendar Is scheme for fitting all four
Of these together. But the one now in use does
not DO this very WE'LL and the most trouble
comes from the month.
| In q bill before congress it is proposed to
have 13 months In the year with % days IN
each, 80 that each month will begin with the
same day. To make the weeks and months fit
the year, New Year day and leap year day are
Ito have no other name and will not count in
leither week or month.
| The scheme has long been discussed. by
scientific men. 1t is simple and desirable
AND the new month Of % days fits the move
smeuts of the moon as well as the present
month Of 80 or 81.
I One trouble with a month based on the
moon is that it never comes out even with the
days. Another is that there are different
kinds Of lunar month" From one new moon
ito another is little more than % days and q
thalt This is the "synodic" month. But II
.only takes q days and a third for the moor
ito get back to the same apparent plact
amongst the stars-the "siderial" month. Ant
astronomers have to take account Of two Of
three others: tho "anomalistic," based on thu
changing distance from the earth as the moor
swings around it, the "nodical," based on tn
time that it takes to swing more or less int
line with the earth and the sun; and the "trop
ical," few seconds different from thu
ssiderial.
From all of this it follows that no mont
can fit the moon for every purpose; and sh
can hardly feel offended if it is made to f
the week.

1S54-The Ostend Manifesto issued.
1S56-Pierce defeated for renOmina-
ton.
1S69-Oct s, died, aged "a.
Franklin Pierce was elected in q
more sweeping victory than any 9TH
er president has had since Monroe.
He had the mandate and the oppor-
tunity to- be president OF the whole
union. With all his good qualities
of head and heart. he was not broad
enough to be more than the servant
of a section, "of those who placed
me here" as he expressed it.
The new presidents appointment
of jefferson Davis to be secretary
of war identified his administration
at the outset with the aggressive
faction in the south. Under its
counsels Pierce not only surrender
ed to the ambitions of the slave
power for expansion over the north
and west, but also for its expansion
into foreign lands.
Slavery was in its last throes
everywhere. Great Britain had
abolished it in her West Indian is
lands, Mexico had abolished it next
door to our own slave states. Even
Spain was tending toward the free
ing OF the slaves in Cuba when the
American ministers OF Great Brit
ain, France and Spain met in Bel
GUM and issued the ''Ostend man.
ifesto." That shameful document
proclaimed the threat that if the
Spanish government should refuse
to sell us Cuba we would take the
island by force.
At the same time congress al
home was repeating the Missouri
Compromise and wiping out the
dead line against slavery, which haG
been drawn a quarter of century
before. This threw open Kansas tt
a wild scramble between settler;
who wished the new territory to b.
free and those who wished it to bs
slave.

you decide to marry someone else.
Then you should tell the truth to
the man you marry.

she order her own? JANE.
He should ask her what she
wants and then he should order

Dear Mrs. Thompson: a certain

Their objections are practically
groundless. However, it makes me
feel unwelcome at their home, even
though she invites me there. We
are not exactly engaged. We SIM

Would you accept the invitation
to the girls home while we are
undecided or wait until We are ded-
nitely decided as to what course we
shall take? The girl has not decid-
ed she would marry me without
her folks approval. We are both

Of those who were desperately
striving to create another sav.
state.
The whole country was drawn
into the struggle, and the Repuh.
lican party sprang into life. At th
election in the middle Of his term,
Pierce saw the Democratic repre.
sentation in the house cut down
one-half and the opposition sweep
in with a big majority.
In spite of that warning, the
president became a candidate ie

much in need Of vindication. The
selfish power that had used him had
used him up, and it ungratefully

popularity was gone.
The Civil war, breaking out only
four years after his retirement,
served to deepen the shadows Of
Pierce's records. In January, 1850.
he wrote to Jefferson Davis the
encouraging prophecy that il The
conflict should come, the fighting
would be not only along the Mason
and Dixon line, but within our own
borders and in our own states" In
