thoroughly familiar, as has been
noted. with many American get-rich-
quick schemes. They included men
who had been in American mining
camps in boom times and had oper-
ated with fy-by-night mining stock
promoters and men who had been
identified with the fiotation of ques-
tionable oil stocks. These adventur-
ers. through their stock promotions,
knew the psychology OF the sucker"
Literature put out under their
auspices was along much the same
lines as that used by big stock
swindling promoters.
When the American get-rich- quick
men who had been associated with
these German adventurers in ques-
ceived the line of campaign in which
the German agents were active the
word spread rapidly through the un-
derworld of the new opportunities for
plunder.
The swindlers who now began to
sell options didn't even have the
marks. They entered their new line.
however. with such confidence and
scld options to such an extent as to
indicate that they had rather definite
ideas that the course of the mark
was to be very different from what
the glowing forecasts of their litera-
ture were stating. With their mass
of literature these swindlers were
accomplishing one of the biggest ends
sought by the German plunderers-
the spreading of the "tip" into places
big and little throughout the land.
The American get-rfch-quick men
sold the options on the German marks
at prices ranging from about cents

 CHICAGO, ILL. Nov. 3o.--Wheat: Mar ket was nearly stagnant today. The May delivered covered q range of barely S-S ot q cent. Changing operations constituted me Dulk tne traulllg- mere was much of distinctly bullish import in the news, but fears of heavy deliveries tomorrow re- strained buying.
 The corn market was a little more ac- tive. The weather decidedly rough, imparting relative strength to the De- cember despite further weakness in the cash market, where there were defines of to cents. There was talk of a very good export business in wheat yester- day, with estimates of sales varying be- tween 100000 and 750,000 bushels Mani tobas. For the last several months we have been deluged with reports of the heavy yields of bread grains in Europe, many have been the predictions that Europe would import from exporting tions much less wheat than she has been in the habit of taking in recent years, and the daily reports concerning the cur rent export trade have fully borne out these predictions The only time there has seemed to be worthwhile demand has been when Greece was in tho market.
 Com Bare with this pessin1istfc view of the worlds situation the actualities de- veloped in the course of the last few months.
 Last year worlds shipments were the largest on record. According to Secretary Wallace of the department of agriculture we had exported on November 12, 17,000. 900 bushels Of wheat, leaving only 4S.000,O00 bushels surplus available for export.
 It seems that the wheat situation has developed clements of pronounced but not generally recognized strength. We antici- pate sustained advance In prices.

IRREGULAR SHIFTS. iyi iSi TREAT l" PRICES

CHICAGO, Nov 3n-Month- end ada Justment of accounts. especially on the part of traders unwilling to set tie by taking actual deliveries of wheat, tended to make price changes regular in the wheat market today, and to restrict new business. The close was unsettled at 3s01sc net lower to 1sc gain, with December Sl.0l ts O 1,02 and May 1.0S1s O Los M. corn finished at I4c off to 3sc up, oats oats shade to Ac down, and pro- visions varying from I0c decline to I0c advance.
 It was estimated that about D. ,000,- Ue0 bushels of wheat would be de- hNered tomorrow on December con tracts, an amount sufficient to cause the December price to be somewhat. weak throughout the day. whereas May and July held firm. The com parative strength of the far-off months appeared to be in some de- gree related to assertions at Wash lngton that the eXportable surplus of wheat in the United States would be exhausted by January l. lead- ing authority here figured that the domestic reserve July l, next. would be 44,0oO,0OO bushels and this az gregate was also regarded as bull ish, inasmuch as it contrasted with 101,000,000 bushels last July l.. Be- sides, domestic primary receipts to- day were light
 Under such circumstances, wheat bears failed to make much headway with talk about prospective large supplies in Argentina, Australia and India. or with predictions of further generous imports of Canadian wheat into the United States. Word that the largest amount yet, 3,320,0 900 bushels, had cleared from Russian ports this week was more or less off set by announcement that drought in Russia had led to a decided reduc- tion of wheat acreage there.
 Wet weather gave comparative firmness to the corn market. More over receipts here were of less volume than expected, and rural of fcrings were small. Oats trading was almost altogether local.
 Provisions averaged higher with hog values.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.--Over the holiday Liverpool again advanced to a new high record for the season. with a very large spot business. However, the market there showed an easier tendency this morning and the most immediate pressure for cot ton seemed to have been satisfied. Here, the market sold over 37c at the opening. which price attracted very heavy south ern realizing, and during the afternoon this pressure brought about substantial reaction from the opening high level. There did not appear to be as urgent a demand from Liverpool in the American markets today. Manchester has been do- ing a good business at profith with India and the Far East. and 1t is this business which has brought the recent advance in prices There does not appear to be much improvement in the business of the American mills and for the time being the price of cotton depends very largely upon the business which is done in Great Britain. The situation is exactly tho reverse of last season and the demand from the English markets should be closely wacthed.
 Futures In Liverpool are due tomorrow as follows: December, 71.44d; January. 137d.
