GRAIN

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-There was little
trade in the wheat market. The market
acted extremely nervous. trade in the De
cember is gradually giving out because of
the car situation which makes sales hazard
Gus except of long wheat, and at the same
time the buyer is always confronted with
a sudden influx Of wheat which will en-
tirely change the situation. December acted
tight on short covering and the lack of
offerings. The deferred futures were al
fected by the trend of the December but
there was pressure on the May from the
northwest early and later from winnipeg,
and this encouraged local pressure. Hard
wheat premiums were &c lower and red
wheat 12c higher. Minneapolis premiums
were lie TO &C lower and Winnipeg unchanged
Car stuation is easing up as indicated by
the increase in the primary movement. The
southwest continues to tell of shortage
in rolling stock, however. Gables were low
er from Liverpool because of enlarged offers
of Manitoba wheat. Export demand was
quiet but mills took moderate amounts.
beneficial rains fell over a big part of the
winter wheat territory Sunday. United
States visible supply increased 1,747,OOO
bushels last week.
Wheat closed irregular, 1c higher to &c
lower; December, $1.11A al IFS; May,
$1.11S; July, $I.04@1.037s.
Corn was strong early but the market re-
acted a little shortly before midday. There
was a slight dip in opening values but tins
was quickly recovered and then locals bid
mp prices assisted by commission house
orders. lneTe WAS u SIlSHt bellctihchI al

fore midday premiums were fully 1c off
from Saturdays low level. Receipts were

BILE supply decreased $50, 900 bushels.

Oats were affected by the ternd of corn.
Local sentiment is friendly to the bull side
and they are ready to give support when

mand for cash oats was reported. United

Fish That Takes Cows Place.

March is the month when the Ind.
ians on the British Columbia coas,
put up their butter for the entire year
and II is gathered from a FISH, which
appears only once a year, for abou.
three weeks time. II sounds ridicu.
ious to tell Of butter giving fish, but
'hat is actually what the eulachan. or
candiehsh, is, for the fats derived from
II serve the Indians as an equivalent
for the life-sustaining material which
Anglo-Saxons get out of butter, and
Italians and the people Of the south of
France out Of olive oil.
The eulachan is the Indians most
precious fish, and is quite as myster-
ious in its ways as the much told of
salmon. Like the latter, il comes
yearly from the unknown deeps of the
Pacific and goes up fresh-water rivers
along the Pacific coast. On the Co
lumbia the run is in February; farther
north, il lasts from two to three weeks
in March.
The Indians are on the lookout for
the beginning Of the run, and take
millions of the fish. They are dump
ed in great bins of cedar logs and
left to soften. When the eulachan
have softened from a week to 10 DAYS
or other periods, a great deal de-
pending on the weather-they are
transferred TO great watts and boiled
dn hot water. The Indian method Of
heating the water is to drop hot stones
into the watts; and though this much
more laborious way than boiling in
modern kettles, many of the Indians
today, though they have adopted the
white mans monographs, drag saws,
motorboats, etc, still stick to this
method. They claim that the grease
produced in their own way is super
ior in flavor and texture to that boiled
in the white mans way. And this is
true. A parallel may be cited in the
old and modern ways of making maple
syrup.

The Of DaY.

1t had been one of the days, known
to all teachers, when a spirit Of rest
lessness and stupidity seems to sweep
the schoolroom. OF course, Miss
Bailey said to herself, no human be-
ing could be expected to teach Emily
Harrow decimal fractions. But for
Ray Farrol and Julie Shallop to fail
when both of them were as keen as
razors! And for the whole class to
be Indifferent through history and
geography!
1t was of no use to keep the special
offenders in; if she kept them in she
would have to keep the whole room,
and she did not feel like doing that.
Her only hope was that the morrow
would be better day.
They were all gone AT last. With a
quivering sigh of WEAKNESS Miss Bal
ley dropped down at her desk She
wanted to think things out. Was
there really a difference in the chill
dren? Or was she getting old and
"stael?" The thought sent a stab of
fear to her heart. But the supervis-
or had given her special commentator
only last month. She couldn't have
changed in month.
The opening of the door to the
schoolroom made her turn. And then
terrible sinkink feeling swept
through her. 1t was just what any
one might expect OF a Cay like that;
Emily Harrow's mother was coming
TO take her to task!
Miss Bailey rose automatically. The
visitor looked at her half shyly, half
eagerly. "Miss Bailey, am Emily
| Harrow's mother | have been mean
ing to come to see you for weeks, but
we've had illness. | wanted to thank
you-Mr. Harrow and both dO-for
al you have done for Emily"
"I,' Miss Bailey gasped
Emily's mother smiled, a clear
courageous smile. "You've been so
patient. You see, we know that Emily
will always have hard time with
many studies. And there have been
teachers who have hurt her so. She
/ isn't dull in other things, only in
books She is really a wonderful lit
tie housekeeper, to say nothing of
being the dearest little daughter in
the world. That's why we think of
her teacher as one of our especial
friends. Could you come to dinner
Friday night"
| Mrs. Harrow went out in few min
utes. The teachers discouraged wear
mess was gone. II was a beautiful
world with real fathers and mothers
/ in it. And tomorrow would be a
better day.

POETS FIND REFUGE IN
BOOK SHOP HIDDEN IN

shop down in the slums CT bloomsbury
that does a terrific business about this
time of the year. Its called the Poetry
Shop, and the proprietor is poe; HIN
self, who has had published volumes Of
poems and who is considered one Of the
best critics in Londan.
Almost nowhere else (excepi perhaps
in Paris could jus, such a shop as this
thrive so successfully. The neighbor-
hood is drab and discourasing. All along
the street pillows are stuffed into broken
windows, half clad shivering urchins run
along the cutters in screaming throngs
after scutiling cats. or crowd round a
stranger begging for pennies.
But none the less big purring motor
cars are drawn up at all hours of the day
