Why Long Chirneys?
Many women wonder why oil
stoves with long chimneys are supe-
rior to those with short ones. IT 10
because the long chimneys insure
every drop of oil is completely
burned before the heat reaches the
cooking. There 10 no chance for SCOT
or odor.
Short chimney stoves as q rule
focus the heat in one point-the
very center Of the burner. Long
chimney stoves focus the heat on
the bottom of the kettles. but diffuse
That's why food cooked on long
chimney stoves is better done.

wheat II cents TO 214 cents up, oats
showing one cent to two conts ad
vance, and provisions unchanged to a
rise Of % cents.
Developments in the corn market
were OF such a character that some
trade leaders expressed an opinion
there would be little heavy movement
Of corn at any time this season. With
deliveries of only $4,000 bushels here
today on December contracts, much
smaller amount than had been looked
for, and with no selling pressure in
the market, aggressive buying which
took place caused values to jump.
Liquidation in the current month was
generally believed to be over, both for
corn and oats. Prospective heavy
feeding of livestock helped further to
lift the corn market.
Announcement of some all-rail eX-
port business in hard winter wheat
from here was taken as significant of
an upward trend for wheat values.
Besides, teh deliveries of wheat today
on December contracts in Chicago ap-
ipeared to have gone into strong hands,
primary receipts of domestic wheat
today were less than the shipments,
and Argentine advices told of crop de-
terioration and of delay to cutting and

COTTON CLIMAX

I'M COMING YEAR

WASHINGTON, Dec, (P-With
crops more plentiful, but of poorer
quality and he purchasing power
of farm products at a new low
level for the season, ben 81 for
October, as compared with the pre- war
base of 100, some farm commodities
are showing good returns this year
and some exceedingly poor. Review
ing the situation yesterday ;he de-
partment of agriculture said it was,
perhaps roughly accurate to say the
season had been favorable to live
stock producers as a whole, but l.
had brought discouragcment to grow
ers of such important crops as cotton,
fruit and spring wheat.
"The cotton situation still looms
large and in it is a clear warning
for next year" the department said.
THE cotton market had steadicd in
recent weeks and Is seemingly adjust
ing Itself with minimum fluctuation
to the prospect of large supplies.
Reports indicated that ample credit
is available to prevent any forced
liquidation by growers SO far as
this seasons crop is concerned, It
would appear thai the south is in
a position to send it to market in
orderly fashion and so realize as
good a return as possible, in view
Of the general supply and demand. y
Pointing out that cotton expor.s
are running ahead of last year, that
domestic mill consumption is greater
and that stocks of cotton goods are
low, the department said the general
demand sietuation was reasonably
strong, but the climax chapter Of the
cotton story remains to be written
next year
"Cheap cotton has it's reactions in
ether fields" the review continued.

The days business news was mixed
in character. The increase in COM
mercial borrowings at the federal re-
serve banks and the continuance of
unusually heavy freight traffic for this
season of the year was offset by a
reported reduction in steel mill trade
to below 20 per cent of capacity In
the steel trade a further decline to
around 60 per cent of capacity is look
ed for, although an upward turn is
expected before the end of next month.
The declaration of an extra dividend
on Lehigh Valley common and the re-
sumption of dividends on Colorado &
Southern common were offset, to some
extent, but the failure of the Rock Is
land directors to take dividend action
at today's meeting disappointed some
Wall street traders, who had expected
the stock to be placed on a So annual
basis.
Wall street has been hearing rumors
for some time of a December oil mar
ket," so that today's demonstration in
those issues came as no surprise. The
advance in the oils which took place
in the face of record breaking crude
production was associaFed with ire

"Cheap cotton seed means a low
cred price scale on concentrated feeds
such feeds for typical dairy ration
now show the lowest price index
in four years. 1t means competition
for lard so much so that lard now

some meaning for wool growers.
Cotton and wool prices usually move
