Sales OF cash wheat yesterday were
estimated at 3.000,0p0 bushels, the
largest ina long time. Approximately
half Of that business was of North Pa
CHIC coast wheat, because that wheat
was relatively cheaper than were other
wheats. One million bushels sold were
OF Manitoba and cargo Of Gulf and a
cargo Of American wheat from Montreal
We're disposed Of. Italy was the only
buyer mentioned. but 1t was declared
that practically every European country
was buyer of wheat. A rurnor, ques-
tioned In many quarters, was to the eff
iect that Germany's wheat requirements
would be exceedingly large. Sales Of
corn were small. 1t was difficult to
confirm sales of oats, but reports that
Italy had bought that grain were circu-
lated.

REACTION SENDS UP
ALL GRAIN MARKETS
Advance in Wheat Laid Large.
ly to Feeling That Prices
Were Due to Rise.

CHICAGO, Oct 6.--Belef expressed in
various quarters that a reaction was
due after the recent long decline did
much to lift prices in the wheat market
to-day. The close was strong at IN
to 2 cents net higher. with December
s1.13 to s113A and May s117X to
e11s. Corn gained %@h to nc.
and oats ls to hc. Provisions finished
from Is cents decline to cents ad-
vance.
Although initial prices for wheat
were the lowest this season. the market
quickly began to ascend, and for the
rest OF the day the bulls generally had
the advantage. Nervousness at the
start was due to announcements that a
leading firm had Withdrawn from BUSH
ness. Absence of any consequent un-
usual selling pressure. however, led to
a general switch to the bull side. espe-
cially as offerings appeared to be pass
ing into strong hands. Houses with
Eastern connections bought freely, and
liberal amounts of domestic wheat were
reported as having been taken for Eu-
rope and the Orient. Bullish estimates
of German and italian import require
ments also received considerable atten-
tion. Trading was somewhat larger
tEan OF late.
Disappointing husking returns tended
TO make corn firm. as did big shipments
from here. Oats continued to reflect
the action of corn and wheat and were
undisturbed by gossip that huge total
OF open trades in oats were to be ad-
1usted for firm which had suspended.
Lower quotations on hogs made the
provision market easy.

(TO BE Continued
NAME FEW WOULD RECOGNIZE
But 1t Was Miguel Saavedra Who Gave
the immortal "Don Quixote"
to the World.

That Miguel Saavedra wrote the i'm
mortal Don QuiXote" is not known
by many. Ask the man on the street
and he will tell you Cervantes was
the author. This is for the reason
that his full name, Miguel de Ger
vantes Saavedra, is not popularity
known.
He was born on October 9, 1547.
and the age which gave Shakespeare
TO England gave Cervantes to Spain.
In 1890 he made an Intellectual appli-
cation to the king for an appointment
in America, "a shelter for the poor
and a refuge for the unfortunate" !"
From Seville he moved to Valladolid,
and tradition runs that he was impris-
oned there as debtor or defaulter,
and that while in prison he commenced
writing don QuiXote," the second part
of which did not appear until 1913.
Three weeks before his death he
formally entered the franciscan Or
der and was buried in the convent Of
the nuns of Trinity, Madrid.
There are two events in the history
of Cervantes that are most remark
able: The first that, nominally though
not actually, he died on the same day
as Shakespeare-April %, 1616-the
difference in computing the calendar
causing the apparent similarity.
The second point of Importance
coupled with wonder is that no monu-
ment was raised to his memory till
1885, when a statue of heroic pro-
portions was cast in Rome and set
up in Madrid-Chicago Journal.

"I am touched beyond expression
that these comrades of ours have seen

that, SCARED and manned to an ex-

that to them there would be no fur
