OF the pressure on the market was
coming from Canada. Underlying con-
ditions were complicated and sentiment
was divided. The export demand was
said to be very slow early in the day.

the foreign countries will not conc
into the market at present and have
refused to accept offers. Great Brit
ain was still out Of the market and
cable advices received from there
said that stocks are large and that
wheat purchased some time ago in
Manchuria is now arriving.
1t was reported that India will ex-
port 100000 bushels of wheat in thc
near future and that the first steamer
will sail from there to-day. Cash pre-.
miums held firm for American wheat

volume and that the export demand
will be transferred largely to the
Canadian markets.
Clearances from the seaboard were
again heavy and were practically the
same as the receipts at interior points
for the day. Flour buyers have agar

Farmer Browns Boy Sees a
Funny Party.
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS
Some funny sights are sometimes seen
In forest and in meadows green

Farmer Browns Boy started out
through the Old Orchard one evening
It was just after jolly, round. red Mr..
Sun had gone to bed behind the Pur-
pie Hills and Old Mother West Wind
| had gathered her children. the Merry
! Little Breezes, into her big bag and
taken them home for the night. The
Black Shadows were already creeping
through the Old Orchard.
Farmer Browns Boy loves that hour
! of the day. He has learned that there
are some of the little people OF the
Green Forest and the Green Meadows
who also love that hour, and are more
| often seen then than at any other
time. 1t was In the hope or seeing
some Of these that Farmer Brown
Boy had started out.
Over on the edge Of the Old Orchard
nearest the Green Forest singer was
pouring out a song so eXquisltely
sweet that Farmer Browns Boy stood
perfectly still for the longest time
| Just listening. 1t was Melody the
Wood Thrush, who always sings Just
before going to bed. His song is one
| OF pure peace and happiness. and no
one can listen to 1t without feeling
better for it.
Farmer Browns Boy was still stand
| ing there listening when he saw some

! Hello! He has company. and a lot OF

for me to stay or not"
He decided to stay. 1t was very ex-
citing. He couldn't help thinking
what might happen II Jimmy had for
gotten that they were friends. Jimmy
was soon near enough for Farmer
Brow's Boy to see him clearly. He
knew it was Jimmy because he
walked little bit lame. But with all
his lameness Jimmy was walking
very proudly There was pride in
every step. There was pride in the
way he held his head and carried his
big plume Of a tail. Behind Jimmy
was a stranger to Farmer Browns
Browns Boy. but he knew at once
who it was. It was Mrs. Jimmy. She
also carried herself proudly. At the
same time it was quite plain that she
was a bit anxious. for she kept turn
ing her head to look back every two
or three steps. And no wonder. for
behind her came the funniest process
sion Farmer Browns Boy ever had
seen-seven little Skunks walking
one behind another and doing just as
Jimmy Skunk and Mrs. Skunk did.

party I've ever seen." thought Farmer

seeing it for anything in the world.
