She made herself intelligently and success fully useful among the natives with whom it was necessary to deal. and on returning to Alaska she was well paid with goodly number of reindeer.
 These animals were the origin of a herd that flourished and increased amazingly and became, indeed. several herds. Mary is now raising deer enough to supply thousands of con- sumers; and reindeer meat is tender. palatable and delicious. so much so that, but for the difficulties of trans portation, it would probably become a staple food throughout the country.

 Bulls quickly took control of the wheat market, for there was an entire absence of first of the month deliveries and no apparent likelihood of any large deIiv- cries soon, owing to the fact that vir- tually all the wheat in Chicago has been sold for shipment. Furthermore, it was correctly anticipated that the weekly statement of the United States visibIa auHpy this afternoon would show a decided new shrinkage. Exporters mean while continued to buy, although ex- change rates were mrfavorahle.
