 Sherrin broke of and stared an in stant down at the rug. Alan bent forward; he made no interruption but only watched Sherrill attentlvely.
 Between 1886, when first met him, and 1895, Corvet laid the foundation of great success; his boats seemed lucky, men liked to work for him, and he got the best shippers and crews. There was saying that in storm q Corvet ship never asked help; it gave it; certainly in twenty years no Corvet ship had suffered serious disaster Corvet was not yet rich. but unless accident or undue competition inter vened, he was certain to become so. Then something happened"
 Sherrill looked away at evident loss how to describe It.
 '"ro the ships?" Alan asked him.
 No; to him. In 1890. for no ap- parent reason, a great change came over him."

 ly T thought" he said finally, it must have been about that time; but you did not tell my daughter the exact date"
 What kind of change came over him that year?" Alan asked.
 Sherrill gazed down at the rug, then at Alan, then past him. "A change in his way of living" he replied. "The Corvet line of boats went on, eX- banded; interests were acquired in other lines; and Corvet and those allied with him swiftly grew rich. But in all this great development, for which Corvet's genius and ability had laid the foundation, Corvet himself ceased to take active part. He took into partnership, about a year later. Henry Spearman, n young man who had been merely mate on one of his ships. This proved subsequently, to have been a good business move. for Spearman had tremendous energy, daring, and enterprise; and no doubt | Corvet had recognized these qualities | in him before others did. Since then I he has been ostensibly and publicly the head of the concern. but he has left the management almost entirely to Spearman. The personal change to Coryet at that time Is harder for me to describe to you"
 Sherrill halted. his eyes dark with thought, his lips pressed closely to- gether; Alan waited.

New York Market


New York, May 11.-Professiona
selling for both accounts characterize
the greater part of today's enlarged
operations in the stock market, max.
ing the fourth consecutive session In
which reactionary tendencies prevailed
The entire list experienced a SHARP
change in the final hour, however
when rumors of a merger of the Beth
lehem and Lackawanna Steel com
panies, which later were confirmed,
esulted in heavy buying of those and
affiliated shares.
Lackawanna led the group at a net
gain of seven points, Bethlehem rising
1M and Republic Iron 8, with advances
of / to 2 points in other so-called in
dependent ~steels. but United States
Steel figured only moderately at a frac-
tional gain.
There was considerable selling of
seasoned or representative railroad
shares, notably the transcontinentals
and several of the c~oalers, while Junior
transportations eased under offerings
of Texas and Pacific and several of
the cotton carriers. These losses were
largely reduced at the close, oils also
rallying with tobaccos and utilities,
the latter including Laclede Gas at a
gain of SIS points. Sales amounted to
/ ,135, 900 shares.
The money market was easy. revers-
ing recent tendencies. Call loans drop
ped to 32 per cent at midday and
time funds were more freely supplied,
but all the longer maturities held firm
at Az per cent. Trading in the prin-
cipal foreign exchanges was dull. Ster-
ling bills eased slightly. francs and
Ira were firm and marks showed a
slight reaction.

IN DRILLING IN
BUSINESS FIELD
Henry Dieterle's Team Made
Best Report for
Day.

With 500 feet drilled the Key-Win
syndicate drillers took the lead Thurs
day in the sale of units in the Com
mercial club and all workers left the
luncheon meeting at the Park hotel
to begin a campaign that will prob
ably see the field well developed BY
noon today when the drillers meet with
the Ad club at luncheon at Hotel Rain
bow.
The best record of any team in the
contest was reported by Henry Diet
erie. boss driller. whose men sold II
units in Commercial club memberships.
For the Some-Boost, the high team
was that of Leonard G.. Diehl with
LOG feet drilled.
Enthusiasm marked the meeting of
the workers Thursday noon and all
were confident that pay sands in the
business structure in Great Falls would
be reached by noon today. Leaders said
that all of the 1000 prospects would
be reached in this time and that there
will follow a checking on the member
ship.
Directors of operations have sent
out the following appeal to their
workers:
Our drilling campaign for member
ship in the Commercial club should be
paramount to almost every other cam
paign, except charity. ! feel that it is
SO necessary for us to hit the pay
sands for our community that we
should not be charitable on any refusal
to buy membership units other than
that the prospect can not afford to
pay and you and your drillers should
feel fully satisfied to that effect, then
we have as a last resource, the popular
payment plan Of today.
We have a structure that can
hardly be excelled anywhere. Our I'M
derwriters. the Commercial club, has
furnished us with good workers. first
class geologist and a good secretary.
Let's get in and drill with every pos
sible effort, and impart the spirit into
our assistants that we can and will
hit the pay sands without fail by Fri

GRAINS AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. May 11.-Wheat went soar
ing in price today and for May deliv-
cry showed an overnight gain OF III
cents a bushel. Enthusiasts for a high
er range of values commended that the
heaviest deliveries likely to be wit
messed here this month had been met
and that today's results were evidence
that bears had lost control Of the
market.
Closing quotations were strong, two
to II cents net higher, with May
sI.a5 to $l:45h and July s12Sa to
and oats gained MOI to NC. In pro
visions, the outcome varied from 2
cents decline to &c advance.
1t was runaway market in wheat to-
day. especially during the final deal
lngs. Leading owners Of contracts call
ing for delivery of wheat this month
were credited with adding to their
holdings. and with having put to a
great disadvantage traders who are
short.
Scarcity of wheat offerings In the
trading pit quickly became apparent,
and with talk current that much Of the
wheat delivered woul soon be loaded
out on vessels for shipment east, the
market tended decidedly upward the
rest of the day.
Advices that the allies had approved
an Argentine credit to Germany and
that the Russian answer at Genoa was
favorable to a better understanding
with the other European powers count
ed also in some degree as bullish fac
tors. The market showed more activity
than has been rule of late but not
w~ithstanding the sharp upturn in prices
the aggregate of transactions reached
no extraordinary total.
Corn and oats derived their strength
from the action of wheat.
Provisions except pork averaged low
err with hog values. Trade in pork was
negligible in amount.

lows:
