General selling, which was witnes. ged in the wheat market as the ‘week drew to an end, appeared to be associated with enlarged deliveries bere on December contracts and with notice taken of the huge amount of wheat estimated to be coming Into this country from Canada and enter- ing Into domestic use. Bearish sentt ment was also increased owing to obstacles interposed against any loan to Germany based on food payments having priority over reparations.

Phone 2543 ‘Washington had a further depress- ing influence on the wheat market Inasmuch as the production est! mate for 1923, was larger than the trade had looked for. Nevertheless for a Uquidating market, the declines were much more orderly than might have been expected, and the main selling appeared to be on the part of miscellaneous holders rather than from concentrated interests, al. though opinion on this point varied. Unfavorable weather, together with assertions that farm feeding of corn was about equal to last year’s record tended to uphold the corn market. Demand for oats was slack. Provisions averaged lower in sym pathy with the hog market.

It's all wrong for-us to think that this body should be outlived by the mind. Science will some day solve the problem, and when it does it will be nothing but a question of Proper work and plenty of healthy recreation. “Love is another ‘thing which should enter into our lives early and stay late. “Keep a live interest in something all the time. Don't have time to brood and you won't ‘have time to grow old. Thinking about one’s self brings gray hair. Thinking about others keeps crows’ feet from the face.” eh Bt Start saving now for next Christ- mas.

Nevertheless, close friends of the| WY former premfer say he is greatly {m- pressed by the receipt of a telgram from the Military group, represent- ing 1,500 army and navy officers also requesting his immediate departure for Greece.
