WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, April -Sky-rocketiug
prices this week have accompanied
reports that extreme difficulty
might be met in the filling of sup
posed huge outstanding contracts
for May delivery of wheat. Com
pared with a week ago, the wheat
market this morning showed gains
varying from 12c TO 117s cents
bushel, the chief rise being for May.
Other net advances for the week
were: Corn AQ7s to Use, and
oats a shade to "a a &c higher; pro-
visions 7 to 40 cents.
The biggest advance for a single
day in the wheat market was about
8 cents. Nervousness among trad
ers, however, was by no means
confined to that occasion, and was
often apparent at other times when
less sensational new swings in the
market were in progress. TopmOsJ
prices reached were very close TO
the high record for May wheat t1is
year, $1497s.
During the upward sweep or
values, considerable notice was
taken of assertions that the exist
ing 50 cent duty on wheat seemed
to be effective in keeping Canadian
shipments away. Chances of bring
ing about any radical setback in
prices seemed to depend for the
most part ON strenuous efforts 10
attract wheat from such places as
Kansas City and Omaha and to
provide unlimited storage facilities
in railroad cars on tracks here.
Uncertainty over developments
at the Genoa economic conference
had a frequent tendency TO depTess
the wheat market. but breaks which
eHsued failed to last. Heavy profit
taking sales by holders OF wheat
were also responsible for numerous
transient downtnrns.
Corn, oats and provisions reflect
ed in minor way the strength Of
wheat.

to himself, It's a Crow's," he fell asleep.
 He slept all day long Even late in the afternoon. when he usually grew wakeful, Fally Coon still snuggled in- side the nest in the top of the tall hemlock.
 At last he awoke with start, 4 hoarse and angry voice was bawling Get out of that bed Do you think this is a hotel?'
 It was old MT. Crow. He had come home all tired out from gossiping up and down Pleasant Valley He want ed to go to sleep. And here was somebody in his bed
 When Fatty Coon saw who it was that had disturbed him he decided to have some fun with MT. Crow He was not sleepy. He was feeling in high spirits
 Were you calling me for supper?" Fatty inquired.
 T was not" cried the old gentle man.
 Then you were just a-going to- said Fatty. Thank you, MT. Crow, I accept you invitation with pleas ure"
 "Ha!" Mir. Crow snorted Supper indeed! I've had mine; and now. like all good people, I'm ready for bed. Youll get nothing to eat here. I'm not one of these night-prowlers, who eat at all hours and never go to bed until dawn and then sleep all day in somebody else's bed"
 What did you have for your sup per Mir Crow?" Fatty inquired pleasantly
 Never you mind!" Mir. Crow re- torted. Never you mind, young man."
 Fatty knew well enough that Mir Crow had made his supper of corn. He never ate anything else when he could get that.
 Do you think there's enough left for me?" Fatty inquired
 "No!" MT Crow thundered. There isn't"
 T didn't mean corn" Fatty said
 "Oh!" Mir Crow exclaimed hastily. Then perhaps there is, But you had better hurry. There may not be any left by the time you get there"
 Get where?" Fatty asked him.
New Britain herald., 1922-10-14

Old MT Crow began to tidget, He couldn't quite see where all this talk was leading He closed his bill tight ly. telling himself that he wasn't go- ing to answer any more questions.
 T didn't suppose said Fatty, settling himself comfortably in Mir. Crows hed--"I didn't suppose there were any birds eggs 10 be found at this time of year"
 Birds eggs," cried Mir Crow. T should say not! l haven't seen one for months"
 Every good hotel serves eggs three times day" Fatty Coon declared.
 T shan't stir until l have three for my supper"
 Then you may starve here. for all l care." MT. Crow squalled. Besides, I've already told you this wasn't a hotel"
 Pardon me-" said Fatty. "I'l be going along now. It's my mistake, Mir. Crow'
 T should say 1t was your mistake" MT. Crow scolded as Fatty scrambled down the tree.
 9ou certainly ought not ever to try to keep hotel" Fatty called back at him You know what a good bed is; but your meals are the poorest I've ever eaten"

BAKED APPLES
BY BERTHA F. SHAPLEIGH Of Columbi University

Probably no fruit is enjoyed more universally than the apple wher baked, The children enjoy it and it can be taken for the school lunch In dairy lunch places baked apples and cream are in great demand.
 Select sound, medium sized apples Wash and core. The skin may be removed or left on.
 When skin is allowed to remain cut through the skin an inch or two from the stem around the apple. This allows the apple to expand in cooking and it is less likely to lose it's shape
 Place apples in baking pan. Add one tablespoon sugar and one tea spoon butter to each apple.
 Pour in enough water to cover pan after the apples have cooked for 10 minutes, Baste often with the sirup formed by cooking,

 At that hour the light in the woods was dim. But in the open pasture it was almost like the day All at once Fatty felt so sleepy that he made up his mind he wouldn't go home that morning, but would find a snug place to sleep right there on the edge of the woods.
 A tall hemlock lowered above him. In it's top nest of some kind whether crows or squirrels Fatty neither knew nor cared.
 That looks like a good bed" he muttered. And climbing the tree quickly made his way to the nest, curled up inside it. and murmuring
