Announcement that the seasonal

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

more than 1000, 600 bushels had been
bought for shipment to Europe did a
good deal Thursday to lift prices In
the wheat market here, The close was
$685. to s1.25M and July s1.14h to
S1.14M. Corn finished at Bc off to sc
advance, oats UP Il to ssc and provi-
sions varying from zoe decline to Sc
gain.
It was only in the last hour of trad
ing that the wheat market showed any
decided upward impetus. Earlier, the
sellers outnumbered the buyers, with
the bulk of the offerings coming from
holders who were in a position to. real
lie profits. This class of selling APP
peared to have exhausted itself about

the pit became ware that export bust
ness on a liberal scale a been in
progress, and that spectators on the
bear side apparently had overreached
themselves at least for the time being.
The fact tina a considerable part of
the foreign purchasing was to be filled
by shipments from ports or the Gulf
Of Mexico tended to make the advance
OF the wheat market rather brisk at
the last. In this connection, special
notice was taken of the fact that for
the first time in quite a while, United
states wheat vas quoted in Liverpool
at the same figures as wheat from
Canada.
Corn and oats were governed largely
by the action on wheat. but corn dis
played less power to rally. Large re-
caipts of corn here counted as a. bear
ish factor.
Provisions were dull, but for the most
part held fairly steady in line with
hogs.

When Douglas Fairbanks filmed The
Three Musketeers," he fulfilled the am
bition of his life Undoubtedly no We
hicie is so typically Fairbanksian or OIL
fers so fine an opportunity to play upon
the entire gamut Of things historic as
does this, his sixth United Artists Pro-
duction.
The film version of "The Three Musk
ateers'' is based not only upon the IA
nous novel of Alexander Dumas. but al
so upoA the memoirs of D'Artaganan
himself. In fact, much OF the material
upon which the business" of the photo
play is built, much that gives it the
human touch, wa found in D'Artagnan's
memoirs and not in the novel, although
it was fdom the Dumas story that the
foundation stones for the picture plot
were obtained
As the most engaging, lively and
dashing film favorite, Fairbanks has
found the role temperamentally ideal.
For, consider the Dumas story and its
opportunities.
D'Artagnan is cast dramatically into
an atmosphere of Seventeenth Century
high intrigue From his humble home
IN Gaseony he Journeys to Paris to

with his fathers honored sword and

| his sword with the blood of the plotter,
| deRochefort. and meets ATilady with

her charm. In Paris his Introduction

! As an added attraction there will ne

! comedy, 81 Do" This is claimed TO be
/ the funniest comedy ever made ny
J Harold Lloyd or any other comedian.
A Paramount Magazine will also be
