IN ELECTING Mrs. Nolan to the seat in the house of representatives, made vacant by the death of her hus- band the fifth district of California fol lowed the example of an English town that elected Mrs. Wintringham to par lament under like circumstances. There is logic in it. Who could follow up a mans work better than the wo- man with whom he has discussed it at home, and who may have inspired his speeches and helped to prepare them? This is an outcome of woman suffrage that was hardly expected when the suffragettes were running wild or hun ger striking.

MODERATE ADVANCE

Changes in Canadian Freight Reg

CHICAGO, October 20.-Wheat

that Canadian inland water freight

Changes which were understood as
enabling United States vessels to CO.
operate in handling Canadian wheat
on the great lakes tended to lift
wheat prices here, inasmuch as the
effect would be to diminish likeli-
hood of Canadian outlets to the east
becoming clogged, and heavily in
creased shipments south into the
United States resulting, despite the
tariff barrier of so cents a bushel.
Instead of an expected advance in
vessel rates, charges on Canadian
grain from Lake Superior to Buffalo
dropped cents today. and the Win
nipeg wheat market was firmer as a
consequence of buying on the part
of shippers. Partly owing to the ac-
tion of the Winnipeg market. millers
were reported as buying wheat at
Minneapolis, and traders here who
had been sellers made haste to take
reverse position.
BulliSh sentiment here was some

prices developed moderate strength in
today's quiet half holiday session.
Narrow and irregular fluctuations
took place at the opening, with a re-
newal of heaviness in the rubbers and
some of the oils. but the appearance
of substantial bts ing orders in the
industrial leaders and another brisk
inquiry for the tobaccos set in motion
a covering moment. which continued
active up TO the close.
Two Trade Developments.
The only important trade develop
mentS of the day were the declara-
tion OF the regular dividend by the
directors OF Stewart Warner Speed
ometer and another cut of 20 cents
a barrel on crude oil by the Humble
oil and Refining Company.
Substantial buying orders in North
ern Pacific and Great Northern pre-
ferred resulted in net gains of about
"a points each, recovering most or
the ground lost by the selling in
spired by speculative fear of re-
duction of freight rates on grain.
OIL Shares Do Better.
Strength of the tobaccos was at
tributefd to inside buying prelimi-
nary to a conSummation of merger
negotiations. Oil shares were helped
by the favorable report of the Phil
