GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, November Is [P.-Mate-
rial fresh upturnS in wheat values here
TOOK place early today owing to Liver
pool quotations much higher than due
and because of stock market advances.
Word that black rust might reduce
wheat yields in Argentina tended to
promote speculative buying. Opening
" to l B higher, Chicago wheat after
ward showed further gains. Corn, oats
and provisions were also firmer, with
corn starting 7s to Is up, but subse-
quently reacting somewhat.
Broad general buying of wheat future
deliveries sprang up anew today in the
wheat market here and as given de-
cided momentum on account of over
night North American export business,
estimated as high as 1000 900 bushels.
Besides, friends Of higher prices here
Tor wheat were encouraged not only by
upturns IN Stock Exchange value, but
also by sharp unloooked-for rise in
the Liverpool wheat market. Meanwhile
cables today from Chicago crop experts
in Argentina said black rust on wheat
stems continued to increase and that
damage has resulted in the provinces
OF Cordoba and Santa Fe.
Reports Of keen demand from domes-
tic millers today for wheat acted as
further stimulus to price gains in wheat
future deliveries. Talk was current that
amounted to 100000 bushels, and that
these purchases were distinct from over
night export buying of an equal amount
of North American wheat for export.
Primary receipts of wheat in the United
States today were only 100000 bushels,
compared with 10000 bushels year
ago.,

Books ON America.

Three books written recently on ma
chine-made America have been caus-
ing discussion. One Is "Our Business
Civilization" by James Truslow Adams;
the second Is ''This Ugly Civilization" !"
by Ralph BorSodi, and the third "The
Dance of the Machine" by Edward J..
O'Brien.
Each Of these unusually well written
books pictures the well educated Amer
lean as being the slave Of machinery
instead of its master.
The question raised by these writer's
is one raised frequently in the last dec
ade by foreign as well as American
critics Of the present order.
That is, Is there time in the rush
and roar Of the modern machine Tor
one who has creative ability to use 1t
or have it brought out? Does the ma
chine age create or does 1t initiate?
VIII America in the future merely copy
the STYLES which come to 1t from other
parts Of the world or viii it have its
own creators and leaders In the field?
Many believe that in the future there
will be two great classeS--ore, the vast
consuming public, proud Of its COM
forts and willing to take the styles
given It in order to adapt mass produc-
ton to them; the other group small,
well paid aristocracy Of creative minds,
richly rewarded, Style-makers left In
luxury and quiet, and existing alongside
the present business giants OF the
country.

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, November is Dr.
Cotton opened steady today at an ad-
vance of IA to 19 points in response to
relatively steady Liverpool cables. and
buying was also promoted by the f1rrner
opening of the stock market. jan
uary sold up to 17.43 and May to 1900
during the first few minutes, making
net advances of about 18 to 81 points
on the active months. Southern sell
ing was comparatively light, but the
higher prices met considerable realiz-
ing. and after the initial demand had
been supplied, prices eased slightly and
the volume of business tapered off 10
some extent. The undertone was steady
at the end of the first half hour, how
ever, with prices ruling about Is to Is
points net higher.
Liverpool cables reported covering
with local, continental and Bombay
buying and said selling pressure had
diminished. These advices also reported
fair cloth inquiry from India, but said
many offers were unavoidable.

|CURB SHARES GAIN
IN ACTIVE MARKE!
Shorts Forced to Cover C.
Leading Issues Record
Big Gains.
Ely JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 15.-Encour-
aged by overnight developments, the
Curb Market again opened higher tc-
day and maintained the upward trent
in good fashion. Although gains and
size of orders were not so large as in tn,
previous session, they were nevertheless
impressive.
Selling from international market
was much less pronounced than earlier
this week.
Shorts retreated early as the Curb
Exchange, apparently having a chang
members about the size and source CT
the short interest, just as the New York
Stock Exchange is doing.
Numerous Gains Recorded.
Electric Bond & Share opened with a
block of $4,000 shares at 67h, or up
3R. At the end of the first hour it was
quoted on the floor at 6919, UP 513.
Cities Service opened on $4,000 shares
at 90, up 1. 1t was 292s at the end of
the first hour.
Standard Oil of Indiana started at
527s, up 3ls. Despite profit taking it
was 52$s at the end of the first hour.
American Superpower on lot of 10000
shares opened at 215s, up 15s and at
the end OF 60 minutes trading was
22h. These stocks are believed to har-
boz Sizable short interest, so their
activity and strength was not surprising.
Upswings in utilities and trading
companies, which obviously had fallen
to ridiculously low levels, continued i'm
preSSive. American Gas S5 Electric
opened up points at 90, and then
pushed above 100 in the first few min
utes of trading. Commonwealth Edison
opened at 235, up Is. Duke started at
134A, as against its previous close of
12515.
Among the trading companies Gold
man Sachs opened at 397s, and then
touched 40. Marine Midland, which
crashed to the low level of % only two
sessions ago, opened at 81 p and pointed
higher. Reliance Management, which
could be obtained earlier in the week
for IL, came out today at 1919.
Aviation shares also succeeded, in
many cases, in pulling out of their rec
ord low levels. Motors were not quite
so successful in this movement, largely
because the trade outlook for that in
dustry remains somewhat clouded.
Crocker Wheeler opened up at rs.
Deere, at $50, was up IA, and Tubize, at
16O. was up 10. Radio shares displayed
recovery powers. De Forest at one time
sold at 8a, up 3s from its previous
close.

money was easier today and at a lower
rate than has been quoted in about two
weeks. It renewed at 51a per cent, the
lowest renewal rate in more than a
year, and was freely supplied at that
rate, while offerings were made in the
outside market at Az per cent.
Time money rates have been chang
ing so rapidly that little or no business
is being done. Short-term loans, ac-
cording to leading dealers, could be
made for per cent, with per cent

WHAT DR.. CALDWELL
LEARNED IN AZ
YEARS PRACTICE

A physician watched the results of
constipation for Al years, and believed
that no matter how careful people are of
their health, diet and exercise, constipa-
ton will occur from time to time. OF
next Importance, then, is how to treat
it when it comes. DIR. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to nature
as possible, hence his remedy for consti-
patton, known as DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup
Pepsin, is mild vegetable compound.
1t can not harm the system and is not
habit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant
tasting, and youngsters love it.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did not
believe they were good for anybody's
system. In practice of AZ years he
never saw any reason for their use when
Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just
as promptly.
Do not let day go by without Q
bowel movement. Do not sit and hope,
but go to the nearest druggist and get
one of the generous bottles of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, or write "Syrup
Pepsin," Dept. BIB, Monticello. Illinois,
for free trial bottle.
