CHICAGO, December 24.-—Aceording to the Modern Millér, “there is still great deficiency of moisture in Kansas and Oklahoma, although certain parts of those states received preclpll&uon this week. In portions of that terri- tory the.crop has freshened. Winter wheat in the southwest will go into .the winter..looking poor, but there is 'still opportunity for the crop to re- cuperate, and actual condition cannot be ascertained until next spring. The acreage will be smaller. Nothing has occurred to mar the prospects in the soft winter wheat states. Generally favorable conditions prevail. There is plenty of moisture in practically all sections and the stand is good.” fI.AN GIANT SHOE FACTORY.

CHICAGO, Becember 24.—Despite the double holiday in prospect drices|' continued their upward movement on the Chicago Hoard of Trade today. Wheat finished with_ net gains of % to 1; corn advanced % to 3%, and oats % to %. Provisions were practically unchanged except-in-ribs, which reg- istered net gains of 12 to 17 points. Sentiment for higher prices was marked from the start in wheat. Holi- to the study of domestic conditions and most of the news from this coun- try was negative. The opinion was ad- vanced that the coming government report would show decreased farm stocks, Reports from the dry portions of the winter wheat belt had it that only" light snows had fallen there and these had been swept away. by winds, leaving. the plantings unpro- tected from cold waves predicted for mnlghl Oklahoma’s state record. of per cent condition strengthened 1h|s argument. The bears tried a raid late in’the session, but met stiff opposition and the final rally was marked. Corn was influenced. by wheat and also by the sale of five cargoes for Russian relief. Predictions were made that this would dessen seaboard stocks and result in buying here later. Oats were @ ‘bit more active than usual and followed corn. Provisions were as dull as the holi- day season demanded, but somewhat firmer with live hogs and grain. WHEAT— ‘High. 1.17% 1035 Low, 6% Lo % 6% Opea. o .38 k-t 'BALTIMORE PRODUCE. BALTIMORE, December 4 (Special). —While practically _all turkeys shipped here for the Christmas mar- ket cleancd up even at the high prices prevailing, the demand eased off in the evening and the market closed easy at 43 to 48 for live choice hens and gobblers and 45 to 50 for dressed; old toms, 35, and poorly dressed and thin, .30 to 35,.with prospects of fur- ther declines next week.

Ducks and nearby geese of desirable size find ready sale at 22 to 28, but small and poor are slow sale even at sharp discounts. Dressed chickens, ducks and geese will bring but.1 or 2 eents a pound more than live, and if the warm weather prevailing today con- tinues next weck shipments of live stock will be more desirable than dressed, us well as avoiding the risk of spoilage in transit. Receipts of strictly fresh native and nearby eggs fell off this week and with tbe price.of fresh and cold stor- age eggs getting closer together an improved demand -for the former is noted and the market is firmer in tone, with values ruling steady at 52 cents a dozen.

So he fixed Him one. Some of the things had been begged, but most of them were picked from trash heaps, one treasure being a broken plate that had s gilt rim to it, and his chiefest one, a thrown- away sled, that he had nailed together and painted with polkberry juice. He had been saving up since summer, and he sholy hoped the Lord Savior liked the 1goks of € That hunter-man_jnterested his sis- ter, who was a Washingtonh woman, and from that Christmas on the tree in thie pines became a shrine for chil- dren and’a feast for birds.

As long ago as 137 A. D., Tele- sphorus, bishop of Rome, ordered that December twenty-fifth be kept as a solemn feast in the. churches, two specific injunctions being “that in the holy night of the Nativity of our Lord and Saviour, they do celebrate public church services and in them solemnly sing . the angeld hmyn because also that same night He was declared unto the shepherds by an angel as the truth itself doth wit- ness’” Accordingly all through the ages has the Angel's Hymn been heard on Christmas day in the churches. Each nation has its own method of celebrating this festival and its own special music, the Christmas carols, however, being the favorites in most ountries. The carol at first signified dance ac- companied by singing. The dance gave the name to the song by which it was accompanied and gradually the word in one or both of these senses came into most of the languages of western Europe. In France and England carol singing has always had an important place in the Christmas celebration. Some of these carols are sald to be fragments of old mystery or miracle plays that were performed during the Yuletide. They are very quaint and give evi- dence ‘of their early origin and the melodies to which they are wedded are the old traditional airs. The ma- ijority of those we know in English were translated from the Latin. One the very early carols is known as “The First Nowell.” Noel, or as it is spelled in old English, Nowell, iy the term used in France to ex- press Christmas songs or carols, as Christmas_itself. The word ‘ well was first used in England about the time of the Norman invasion, and it is supposed to be derived from the A few of the most pere ‘I Saw In” “As BuGod Rest ntlemeny¥’ “The Cherry Tree Carol,” “Three Kings of Orient” and “Good King Wenceslaus,” all of them beihg sung to the traditional airs.

Horace Al- vin Lake, baritone; Miss Katherine Lee Jones, contralto, with Christmas carols by a double Mrs. Mirlam Hilton. Sometime ago the famous French organist and composer, Charles Marie Widor, remarked to a well known Bach student and editor that . the older he grew the more difficult he found it to discover the truly spirit- ual in music other than the Gregor- ian Chant and the Bach Choral. When one hears the average prelude, offer- toire and postlude, one is led to won- der whether the musical public even begins to realize the legacy which it has received at the hands of Johann Sebastian Bach. So often thought of by the popular mind as a learned writer of quartet led by tedious and scholastic counterpoint, Bach in the field of choral music and especially in the choral prelude, is one of the most dramati¢ composers of all time. For the purpose of bringing home to organists, as well as musicians generally the spirituality, mystical. fervor and especially the dramatic power of this great master, Carl F. Pfatteicher, director of music at Phil- lips’ Academy, Andover, Mass, will give an organ lecture recital on the morial Church at 8:15 next Thursday evening. Admission will be without tickets. The program of the Arts Club for the Sunday evenings in January will he gvien by the following artists: January 8, Miss Grace Nelson, so- prano; Miss Miriam Larking, cellist; Miss Mina Niemann, pianist; January Charles Trowbridge Tittmann accompanied by Miss Lucy 22 15, bags, Brickenstein; January 22, Lieut Horace Alvin Lake, baritone, with Mrs. Howard Blandy at the piano; and January 29, a program of com- positions by Carita von Horst, ar- ranged by the ocomposer,- will be given. No program will be given on New Year's day. Miss Priscilla Slaughter, meszo- soprano, will be the soloist at this marning’s service at the Sixth Presby- terian Church, when she will be heard in “Oh Holy Night” by Adama. Gurle Louise Corey entertained a large number of frients at her home Friday evening with the second of her series of monoperalogues, the opera selected for ~thls occasion being La Traviata by Verdl. Miss Corey was assisted by Mrs. Elizabeth Gurdner Coombs, acoompanist. Mary Allaband was soloist last Sun- day at the Chevy Chase Presbyterian Chureh, giving Scott's “Repent Ye" at the olem:y. Marguerite Wickersham was enthu- siastically received last week at the ."M. C:"A. when she gave a short program of songs, including “Ciaro Nome” from * letto,” *“Vous dan- ses, Marquire” (Dalcrose), “Wind's in the South" (8cott) and Bonnie Sweet Besgsie” (Scotch).
