SLIGHT EXPORT
DEMAND GIVES
WHEAT SETBACK

Chicago, Dec. 3.-Evidence Of a
pause in export demand tended to-
day to bring about setbacks in the
price Of wheat. It was pointed out
that foreign governments have pur-
sued the policy Of buying wheat
vnly when prices were depressed.
Bulls, however. contended that low
er prices were not In conformity
with the amount Of export business
already done or with the amount Of
milling demand yet to come. Open
ing prices, which varied from the
same as yesterdays finish to INC
lower with December 1854 to 1.69
and March 1.64 to 1.64As, were fol-
lowed by a decided rally, but then
by a material decline all around.
Subsequently, large eastern Of
ferings were absorbed by commits
sion houses and elevator interests.
The shorts tried to cover and prices
scored something of an advance.
The close was unsettled, Y cent
net lower to ~ cents higher, with
December $1.70A to, $1.70h, and
March $1.64% to $1.65.
Corn sagged with wheat. After
opening unchanged to INC lower,
including May at 75Ac to 76c, the
market recovered somewhat, but
soon became weak for all deliveries.
Despite liberal profit taking on
the part of recent buyers, the mar
ket tended upward with wheat at
the last. Prices closed firm, Il
cent net lower to - cent higher,
with May 76A cents to 76as cents.
Oats were governed by the action
of other cereals, starting unchanged

CARLOAD
Of farm BUREAU
APPLESPLACED
No Further Orders WIN Be Taken
ut Present Prioe-Third Car
e-
to Be Delivered.

Mercer county farm bureaus first
carload Of apples to be purchased
which arrived at Bur-
CESS Monday, have proved to be
exceptionally satisfactory. Apples
from the car were distributed at
Burgess yesterday by Assistan:
Farm Adviser A. r. Kemp and
George Mayhem. Most of the ap-
pies in this car were of the Green
ling variety, with few other varie-
ties, such as Baldwins, Roman
Beauties and Kings. The cooper
ative purchasing, which is under
the supervision of the farm bureau,
has been saving to farm bureau
members. of several thousands Of
dollars. As the farm bureau Office
has no finances to handle such
commodities, farm bureau members
are advancing their personal checks
with each order, which insures
them of getting the order filled at
cnce and makes it possible to han
die the business on smaller mar
gins. After the Burgess orders
we're delivered yesterday the car
was sent to Reynolds, where orders
are to be filled tomorrow. The
second car of apples will be deliv-
cred from the Hopewell switch and
from some other station in the
southwest part of the county. The
third car, which will be delivered
from Aledo, will probably not ar
rive for a week. Due to the fact
that these apples were purchased
at an early quotation it has been
possible to make deliveries at $115
per bushel. Present quotations on
the same variety will not permit
deliveri = at prices lower than $1.25
or $1.35. No further orders are be-
ing accepted by the farm bureau
at the present prices ard it is sup
posed that there will be no other
cars ordered for this falls delivery.

AIEDO GIRLS TAKE
MYSTERIOUS TRIPS

Every morning at about 10
o'clock two we'll known Aledo girls
may be seen vending their way
from the place of their employment
on East Seventh street to a gro
Gerry store two doors away. They
go with eager feet, a look OF an
ticipation upon their faces. They
enter the store. but do not pause
before the tempting array Of foods
found on every hand. They march
steadily through the store until
they near the door leading to dark.
unknown regions in the back OF
the store: then their footsteps lag
and a questioning look comes over
their visages. They do not falter,
but disappear into the darkened
room beyond the mysterious door,
closing it carefully after them.
Sometimes shouts Of glee come
from behind the closed door, but
more often a mysterious silence
reigns in the outer room. On the
days OF the former they emerge
joyous and carcfree and usually
stop to celebrate at the eating
house between the store and their
place OF employment. On the days
OF silence they march glibly by
the food palace. hardening only to
the lure of the ham sandwich and
chocolate sundae within.
They are reducing. The scale in
the back room Of the grocery store
each day puts Joy or sorrow into
their hearts. On the days when
the scale shows a loss they eat; on
the days when the scale shows a
gain. which is usually the day
after the loss, they starve, and
plan wildly Of cross-country hikes
or Of seeking a Job delivering The
Argus. Still they claim they are
really reducing.
