 His frayed derby sat on the back of his head; perspiration dripped from his wrinkled forehead; tears welled in his eyes; he stroked his beard. In one hand was telegram which had been sent to him by immi- grafton officials
 Request to know what is your decision regarding your family" 1t read.
 In another part of the station was his wife and two daughters He had worked and slaved in this country tEeni to him.
 In response to the telegram he had como to the station to learn that his youngest daughter was feeble minded ard would be returned to Russia. Either his wife or the other daughter must return with her. He was to decide which one was to stay.

WHEAT MOVES UP ON LIVELY DAY IN
 CHICAGO MARKET

CHICAGO, March 9.-Lively pur- chasing brought about an ad- vance in 5 the price of w,eat to- day, notwithstanding declines earlier. The market closed firm, e to 7sc net higher, with May S1.19Ss to s1.19A and July s1.15 to s1.151s. Corn gained 1ac to sc, oats finished unchanged to Ac uA, and provisions unchanged to 10c down.
 At first, bearish aspects of the government report on farm reserves of wheat tended to make wheat values fall as did gossip implying some betterment of the crop outlook for domestic winter wheat. The fact that domestic stocks were continuing to accumulate and that at present export demand was almost nil had further bearish influence. After values had fallen more than 1c for May. however, a brisk upturn began.
 With scarcity of offerings feture- during the afternoon, the wheat market climbed up as much as 22c from the days lowest figures. Pit conditions, more than news develop ments, were said to be responsible for the sudden tightening of the market. Profit-taking caused the market to react at the close.
 For the most part, corn and oats swayed with wheat.
 Provisions weakened under in- creased selling which followed an advance in line with hog values.
