GRAIN LETTER.

WHEAT-The bullish feeling created by
the large exports sales reported yesterday
was dissipated after the first hour of trad
ing this morning when influential selling
made its appearance and continued with
out abatement right up till the close of
the market. Late in the session a feeling
of extreme uncertainty was predominant
and althO there was evidence of further
export business being done today the
trade were inclined to doubt that the de-
mand will prove permanent. In fact it
was intimated that the bulk of the buying
was merely to fill ocean tonnage
from time to time for the past several
weeks and the inability TO dispose of the
cash grain abroad has undoubtedly been
the chief depressing factor in the futures
market, which must naturally carry their
burden
Cash prices in all markets today were
lower and further talk was heard of con-
gestion at the gulf, eliminating the posi-
bility Of shipments to Chicago. There is
nothing in sight at the moment to arrest
the downward trend of values.
CORN-Bullish enthusiasm in this mar
ket was checked early in the day by the
appearance of persistent cash mouse SELL
ing against country purchases.
Late in the session further weakness was
au i;l. by a sudden drop in cash
industrial buyers, as we'll as shippers
from the market.
Discounts under the futures were re-
dGced 12c to 1c from yesterdays basis.
1t is quite apparent that corn will con-
tinue to move from the interior in liberal
volume and any such developments as the
withdrawal of buyers from the market will
be accompanied by weakness.
OATS-Northwester interests were
heavy sellers thruout- the session and the
Guate. The cash market was without fea =
ture, declining equally as much as the
need of bullish incentive than any other
due to the large available supplies.

THE WOMAN OF IT
BY MILDRED MORRIS.

Press Dugout, Polo Grounds, New
York, Oct. 7.-They do nothing in the
worlds series but play baseball and
yet 10000 people pay to see it.
Most of them paid SIS and So to get
in.
For 25 cents you can see movie of
baseball game with a love story
thrown in and they're all over.
It's like a circus, only nothing hap
pens. only a few minutes playing with
ball and bat. They run around a
ring and try to keep off the grass.
If you sit in the bleachers you can
yell more. In the grandstand you get
less sun.
The bleachers roar as two men in
gray uniform appear. Once they were
| baseball players; now they're come
dams.
They are hired to keep the fans in
good humor.
What do the fans do when they are
not in good humor?
NO one talks anything but baseball
and it may go on for days.
After you know the number of bases
it is easier to understand the game.
But, still. what's the difference
whether there are four or five?
Only one little base more or less
isn't anything to make fuss over.
There were five women in the first
tier of the grandstand at 1890 o'clock.
Are women capable of understand
ing baseball? Ask Alice Robertson,
Oklahoma's lady. congresswoman.
Believe, me, Alice, one may be a
perfect lady and still understand base
ball. Why not?
You begin rather to like it after you
| understand it.

"The Devil" starring George Ar

exceptionally fine picture. 1t is a
record for posterIly of one of the
theater's greatest chaTaCteri2ations
by one of its foremost actors. 1t
sets a new mark for future photo
plays to measure up to.
This is Mr., Arliss' first appear

hope not his last The devil of
Edmund Goulding's story is a well
groomed, we'll hammered gentle
man with a wide circle of acquaint-
ances. To him men and women
are human toys for him to play
with and break. Mr.. Arliss makes
this devil suave. bantering, cynical;
clever, crafty and very fascinating
THE Devil" an Associated Ex-
hibitors' feature. is eXcellently pro
duced, directed and acted. Sylvia
Dreamer, Lucy Cotton, Edmund
Lowe, Roland Bottomley and Mrs.
Arliss are splendidly cast in lead
ing roles. James Youngs direction
is vlrile, poignant and the essence
of dramtic artistry.
Much praise may be lavished on
the lighting, photography and par
ticularly the settings. Their equal
has never before been seen on the
screen, which proves the value OF
having sets designed by architects,
decorators and highly skilled tech
meal men, as was the case in THE

SPIRITS MATERIAIIZE
ONLY IN THE ELEGANT
VELVET SETTINGS-AT 'B'

One usually thinks of ghosts in
connection with white sheets but
movie ghosts require a much more
elaborate and expensive setting. In
fact, motion picture camera men
will tell you that the best results
in Turing graceful ghosts to per-
form on the screen are obtained
when a suitable preparation has
been for their appearance, a pre-
paration which involves hundreds
of yards of black velvet. The entire
room must be draped in black VEL
vet before an orthodox movie spirit
will "materialize" at all
Rv means of many double and
triple exposures, novel and unus-
ually beautiful spirit effects have
been achieved in the latest Mary
Miles Minter picture, Gan Souls
Eve" which Is at the "B" theater
today and tomorrow.
Miss Minter not only plays two
roles in the play, but poses as a
statue Ca much more exaCting stunt
than merely posing as a model for
n statue, for she Is supposed to rep
resent the completed marble) and
appears in many scenes as a gen.
tie ghost, transparent, ethereal, yet
perfectly distinct and recognizable.
These clever camera tricks were
done by Flaxon Dean, working with
Chester Franklin, who directed the
picture. Besides being a most en-
crossing story, the film Is photo
graphically most unusual. and a
real treat even to the most blase
picture fan.
