had expected that a material decrease
of the visible supply would be an
nounced today, perhaps 100000 bush
els. On the contrary. an increase of
5000 bushels was posted. Surprise
which ensued was the greater because
of the fact that the total supply avail
able was shown to be more than H.
amount year ago. Profit-taking
sales induced by the circumstance that
May delivery had risen 10 cents over
last weeks low level tended also to
weaken values.
Indications Of liberal export bust
ness had helped earlier to lift the
wheat market. but subsequent estl-
mates proved to be less than were
looked for. The total was put at only
500. 900 bushels. including 100000
bushels of hard winter wheat to be
shipped by way of the Gulf of Mexico.
In some quarters. however. it was as
serted that exporters had bought more
than they had permitted to become
known. A decided increase of the
amount of wheat on ocean passa ge
acted as something of a weight on the
market and SO. likewise. did uncer-

Corn and oats were depressed by
reports that the stock Of corn at Kan

that some corn was sold there today

Place For Extinsuisher On The
Running eoarI

Where to put the extinsuisher is an
open question. Under the dash is the
customary place. But almost every
motor car fire endangers this spot.
Flames sometimes enveiop the extin-
guisher before the driver has a
chance to unlock it. The most logi-
cal place from the fire standpoint. Is
to place it on the running board. but
this not only spoils the cars looks,
but tempts children to NEEDLE with
it. For roadsters, especially, the ex-
tinguisher can be carried or brackets
at the base of the drivers seat. In
this position it is very handy. For
touring cars a good place is the back
of the front seat. Here it is Access
sible. that is the main thing. 1t
would be less conspicuous If painted
black. And in winter T. would be
covered by the robes. IN his respect,
use your own judgment.-H'otor Life.
