a RE you trustworthy parent
"A ! am not asking If you are

you are busy. tie begins to beat
about the bush in the hope of get

feel like that and you snap at
him. What is II you want, any

Itell you something but he wasn't
quite sure of his reception. He felt
you out and yon snapped. he re-
| treated and held his own counsel
That time he found you untrust

didn't know that II was important
Bnt he doesn't know that you really
were friendly underneath, away
underneath, you see.
AT another time be told you q
secret Ii was very childish secret
abonf a little girl In his class. He
rather liked her and he wanted to
give her something nice for her
birthday, and he asked you about
1t, and you promised to help. You
meant we'll about 1t. You enjoyed
this first glimmer of his interest In
girls. II was so shy and so sweet
that you couldn't help smiling about
it and telling IL TO Aunt Tillie, and
ne happened along and heard you.
He was astounded. You see. he felt
that you had betrayed his conf.

Maybe sometime one of the chill

into II because of his ignorance and

Exchange Topics
BY ROBERT DENVER.

NEW YORK, December 9.-Specula-
tive interest was chiefly directed
toward the long side Of the market IN
the abbreviated session. Substantial
buying orders showed from time to time
in the case Of many Of the speculative
leaders most of which worked ahead
again toward the highs Of the move
made early In the week. But the bulk
of activity and the outstanding move
ment again were found In the so-called
secondary" issues. A number OF new
1893 highs were scored among those
issues, that select group including Amer
ican Car d Foundry, Monsanto Chem
ical, Warren Pipe q Foundry, Indus
trial Rayon, American Woolen preferred
and Hasel-Atlas Glass.
Some people are inclined to be bit
upset upon finding May wheat selling
ct premium over the July delivery,
whereas ordinarily the more distant
options rule sufdciently above the nearer
months to allow for the carrying charges
involved. Old-timers In the grain trade
point out, however, that this reversal
Of the more usual relation Is not excep-
tional ct this particular time. The July
option, 1t Is explained, represents the
first month Of the new Winter wheat
crop, and accordingly the bulk OF specu-
lative activity centers In the remaining
months Of the old crop. Moreover, the
July delivery Is usually . target for
considerable hedging pressure, particu-;

WINCHESTER, Va, December g.
Federal assistance Is being sought by
J. Carson Anderson, president Of the
American Manganese Producers Asso-
citation, for reopening large manganese
mines in Frederick and Shenandoah
counties. Several mines already are
producing limited amount of ore for
conversion into ferro-manganese.
Adkerson stated that Federal aid for
developing the mines is sought both
for industrial purposes and national
safety for 1t is a lesson learned from
the World War that dependence upon
foreign sources for this essential war
mineral Is extremely hazardous"
He said there Is q steadily increasing
demand for manganese incident to q
revival In the steel industry, which
consumes most Of the 900, 600 tons Of
manganese used IN America when the
manufacture Of steel Is normal. Much
OF the manganese used In the United
States comes from Russia.
Anderson said he did not "apprehend
that trade relation resumption with
Russia would jeopardize the American
manganese industry"
He added that the Virginia ores. and
especially those of the Shenandoah
Valley, run high in manganese con-
tent. and in many respects are superior
In quality to foreign ores.

Commodity Price
Changes of Week
BY HI. N. McGHL,

Eoltor, McGlil COMMODITY Service, Inc
AUBURNDAIE, Mass, December 8
R.-Commodity prices during the first
week in December failed to register any
definite trend. In the early part OF
November prices recorded a substantial
increase which was followed during the
closing days of the month by a de-
cline, which wiped out practically all
OF the advance. Generally speaking
commodity markets in the majority OF
cases are marking time, well illustrated
by the fact that during the past week
out of IA individual commodity tndices
hve recorded no change, four groups
declined, while five advanced. The net
result was no change in the price Level
OF all commodities and the index now
stands 81 per cent over the extreme
low of last February.
Industrial commodity prices recorded
q moderate increase over a week ago
The upturn was attributable to price
strength In building materials, ferrous
metals, paint materials, and fine
textiles.
Industrial activity continued to iuc.
tuate within narrow range. but the
trend is no longer downward.
Farm Index Unchanged.
Agricultural prices were not sensitive
to the gold-control plan and other
efforts to elevate the price level Of farm
products. The index Is exactly the
same as 1t was week ago.
Live stock quotations declined, ths
reaction being due to price weakness in
hogs which more than offset the ad-
vance in cattle and lambs. The cur
rent average of hogs Is S3.40 which
compares with high Of $49C last June
Building material prices again aver
aged higher during the past week, price
strength being noted in lath and nails
The index now stands 40 per cent oveI
the low Of this depression.
Non-ferrous metals again were re.
dictionary as copper and tin moved
downward.
Ferrous metals recorded the most i'm
portant price change Of any group
Price increases took place in composite
iron, tank plates, wire, and tin plate
Fine textiles moved upward frac-
tionally. Not only are cotton prices
up moderately, but silk recovered con-
siderable ground and wool quotations
averaged higher.
Coarse Textiles Drop.
Coarse textiles were one of the five
groups that declined during the week,
the reaction being entirely attributable
to jute> and burlap.
The five groups that recorded nc
change during the week were aRricul-
tural products, chemicals, fuels, hides
and leather, and paper and pulp
Most important price changes ir tlie
