BRTAIps WHEAT PURCHASES,

~ Soxne rather interesting fgnres on
the British wheat situation are given
IN the following excerpt from the
Toronto Mail and Empire:
THE information that the British
commission has already bought
large part of its wheat requirements
faFtN be interesting to Canadian farm
prs who look for higher prices on a
better export demand. Probably not
more than ten per cent Of the new
canadian wheat surplus has been sold
FOR export. The belief has been gen
4ral that Britain postponed buying
A1ntil the price moderated, and that,
after New Year, active support of the
market, could be expected from that
quarter. More buying for European
account is to be expected, but its
force seems not likely to be exerted
In price-raising.
according to the secretary Of the
lMillers' association, Mr.. Sanford Ev-
hns, British imports of wheat be-
tween August Z and October 23 were
ROSVVVyVVV OuSAACAos = LII dOuAlOu, H.
f45, 900 barrels of flour, equal to
knother 10000, 900 bushels, were i'm
ported. How much Of this may be
fe-exported to continental Europe is
hard to say, but British wheat import
DEEDS are approximately $50, 900
bushels. If the WI months imports
Ares equal to half of this requirement,
Aslarge surplus must exist now in
3Britain. That this is true is asserted
by London newspapers, which are
for a lowered price of bread.

sheat has been accumulated At mucai

Suicide!
Jane. reading and re-reading the

currence she had Witnessed the night
before. Vividly there stood out be-
fore her the strange panorama she
had seen, the tall young man in<eve-
man with the soft hat who had fol-

around the corner. Only one of them
had come back. Unforgettably there
was imprinted In her memory sthe
satanic expression on. the young
mans face as he had fastened into
the house. No wonder he had cast
such an anxious glance behind him
as he entered.
Suicide!
Jane was certain that it was no
suicide. She remembered the curious
thud she had heard from around the
corner. like a body falling to the
pavement. She recalled that it must
have been at least ten minutes before
the other man reappeared. time
enough to have placed the revolver in
the dead man'S hand. time enough
even to have removed all possible

mans clothing.
It was not suicide. Jane felt GER

probability a murder had been COM

likely. she alone in all the world
