My father bought a Fordson Tractor from you in the
spring of 1920 and as he did not like to run it himself, 1 always
did the running. i had never had any experience with gas en-
gines before / started to run the Fordson, but I haven't had
the least bit Of trouble with it since l first started to run it. 1t
always went like a top and it is yet as good as ever.
have used it mostly for blowing but have done much
other work with it as well, such as discing, narrowing, seed
ing, harvesting threshing, grinding, hauling and saving wood
and find it to be an ideal tractor for all the different jobs. I
can run the Fordson II hours on Is gallons of kerosene and
3 quarts of oil doing field work. / can easily average Z acres a
day blowing, 80 acres a day seeding, with an 81 foot press
drill (but it could easily pull . larger driu) and rs acres a day
cutting grain with an 5 #. binder. / put in %, days threshing
last fall with it and a n inch Wood Bros. separator and never
had the least bit of trouble.
: / can do my work cheaper and quicker with tie Fordson
than can with horses and / think that any one who rIl drive
q Fordson as intelligently as they would their horses win find
the Fordson a paying investment on their farms as well as 4
pleasure to work with.

CHICAGO GRAIN, MARKET.

Chicago. Sept. 2o.-Increased anxiety about war possibilities gave the wheat market a new whirl today, especially during the last hour of the board Of trade session. Closing prices were strong at neaely the topmost level reached, with December 1.06 3-4 to 1.o6 7-S and May LII to LII 1-4. Corn gained 1 1-4@ 1 S-S to 1 3-4c, and oats Is to i 6-sc In provisions the outcome was unchanged to 15c higher.
 With Liverpool quotations showing an unexpected upturn and with talk. current that the peace outlook was worse. the wheat market began to ascend early, and then after some hesitance went kiting in earnest. Every fresh report indicating danger of hostilities on big scale ap- peared to call forth liberal buying orders for wheat, little heed comparatively being paid to despatches pointing to likelihood that the crisis might yet be averted Assertions that an exodus from Con- stantinople had started and that British elevator stocks of wheat were scanty at tracted special attention early as motives to purchase.
 In later dealings, wheat buying was further stimulated in connection with re- ports of the militant attitude of the Turks as to fully chieving their objects both in Europe and Asia. Meanwhile, seaboard points on this side of the Atlantic ad- vised that a good export demand for waeat in nearby positions was apparent and that there seemed to be extensive shortage of wheat readily available to fill September contracts ot Liverpool Do nestle receipts showed falling off throughout the southwest in particular.
 Broader demand was evident for corn and oats. European purchasing of both cereals was noted
 Provisions averaged higher in line with grain and hogs

 Copper shares were again active, se- curities of South American companies registering the largest gains because of their lower production costs. Chile Cop per was pushed up over point and fractional gains were made by several domestic shares.
 Total sales approximated s00,ooo shares.
 Foreign exchange rates continued their upward course. despite the usual seasonal heavy offering of grain and cotton bills against export shipments. which were not as large however, as on number of other days in the last three weeks. De- mald sterling made a good response to the optimistic reports concerning the meeting between Lord Curzon and Prem fer Poincare on the near east situation demand bills being quoted at s44s a-i6. or more than a cent above yesterdays figure.
 Call money opened at,4 i-2 and then hardened to 5 where 1t held until closing. Rates for time money also were inclined to firrnness. This was attributed to the shifting of funds in connection with re- cent government operations and income tax payments.

MARKET WAS QUIET

New York. Sept zo.-Pool operations in special stocks. several of which were pushed up to new high records for the year. provided the only interesting fea- turss h today's relatively quiet stock market session, prices in which were mainly upward. Short covering ac- ,elerated the advance in early dealings, but some unsettlement was noted toward the close on receipt of Washington dis patches that the house had over-ridden the presidents veto of the bonus bill and on the calling of loans and rise in money rates
 Special demonstrations were staged in Austin Nichols. Beechnut Packing, Nal iinson silk. White Eagle Oil, Tide Water oil. Consolidated Cigar, National Cloak and Suit preferred, Federal Mining and Smelling and American Zinc preferred, all of which established peak prices the net gains ranging from small fractions to more than three points. Bull opera tons in some of these issues were aided by the limited floating supply.
 Public utilities and oils were the most popular of the standard shares, gains of a point or more being recorded by Con- Bolidated Gas, Pacific Gas, Western Union. Standard Oil of New Jersey and Tide Water oil. Mexican Seaboard is sues. however, were reactionary
 No definite movement took place in the Fall group, price changes in which were largely nominal Norfolk and Western preferred were relatively heavy. Steel shares also showed little change, U. s. Steel common and Republic declining trsctionally. while Midvale, Bethlehem B and Gulf States moved up higher ground.
