amounting to S150.000,0 900, and Standard
Oil of New Jersey with a 400 per cent

In anticipation OF such action, the
stocks OF the foregoing companies and
those or Standard Oil of Kansas. Prairie
Oil and Gas. Atlantic Refining. Standard
OH of Ohio, Ohio OIL and others OF the
Standard group have been the subject
or heavy speculation In the stock mar
ket during the last two months or more,
with the result that new high record
prices were established.
Vacuum Oils 800 per cent. stock divi-
dend will take the form OF the Issuance
of sixteen shares OF the new stock of
S25 par value for each 500 par value
share now held, the reduction In par
value having been decided upon with the

Az the outset in wheat the fact that
Liverpool quotations showed SURPRISING

Subsequently additional selling pressure
was induced by announcement 1hat
cargo Of 100000 bushels OF Canadian
wheat had arrived in Chicago. Disclos-
ure, however, that the cargo was In
bond and had been brought here in erro-
neous expectance of a railroad cut rate
to New Orleans did much to restore con-
fidence on the buying side.
During struggles to get back wheat
which had been released earlier scarcity OF
offerings became apparent and through
out the last half OF the day continued
advance of prices took place. Shorts
bought heavily. both OF wheat and other
grain as well, influenced by reports that
car scarcity was worse than at any
other time so far. December wheat here
showed moro strength than May ana

gave an advantage to bulls. Profit
taking sales checked advances In oats.
Provisions were firmer In accord with

Rodolph Valentino
In Blood and Sand
Monday and Tues

Coming to,the Grand for two days
Monday and Tuesday, is the much
talked-of Rodolph Valentino, in
BLOOD and Sands" a great produc-
ton, great in action, colorful in at
mosphere and heart interest.
The picture is based on story by
the celebrated Spanish novelist, vi
cente Blasco Ibanez. 1t is a story
that is in itself admirably adapted to
motion picture purposes in that its
principal action centers about the
colorful bull-fighting ring of Madrid;
its leading character, impersonated
by Valentino, is dashing, debonair
toreador. Its romantic theme is con-
cerned with the courtship and mar
rage of the toreador with child
hood sweetheart and the subsequent
appearance, after the young toreador
had become the idol of Spain, of a
notorious widow, who tempts the to-
reader into life of dissipation.

Notes From the Fair.

D. A. Armstrong, manager OF the
fair. who was confined to his room
Thursday and Friday, managed to be
present on Saturday and participate
in the work which came to his office.
The winenrs in the vorious depart
ments of school work were not de-
cided in time to have the completed
list published in this issue of The
News. The task of compiling the
many winners of ribbons was Hercu-
lean because of the fact that the dis
plays were extremely large; and
while the work of the judge was COM
pleted on Friday the compilation OF
the lists is still in progress.

lash fishery, Of Welaka. Two I'M
mense cakes of ice were shown, in
one of which there had been frozen
catfish and a perch and in the other
trout and shad were showing
Each of the fish was of huge size.

ed special mention was that of the
community of Orange Mills. 1t was
seen and admired by vast thrOngs,

at his post to descant upon the excel
