The Daily Trade Bulletin's compllation of stocks of Wheat afloat and from Europe and Argentina shows abou 16,000,000 bushels in excess of a year ago, and it s thought that a complete statement of the world's_visible supply will show something larger than last year. Primary receipts are still running a large percentage over last year, but the cash situation on _the whol2 is not a heaithy one.

Poultry and Game. ! Five cars of Western Poultry, consisting chiefly of old Hens and Roosters, were mar- keted during the past week, and, though the receipts of stock were light, the market was weak. except for strictly famey young stock, which formed but a small percentage of the supplies. The market was barely steady | at the close, githough there was very little on hand. Receipts of dressed Turkeys were only car of Western Poultry falls due to-morrow. There was not much demand for Game, but as the receipts were light everything cleaned up: well POULTRY — Dressed Turkeys, 18@22c: live Turkeys, 16@l7c per Ib; Geese, per palr, 2 25; Goslings, Ducks, = $5 50@6 50 per dozen for old and $6 H0@7 50 for young; Hens, $6 30g7 for large and $5@6 for small; young Roosters, $6 50@7 50; old Roos- ters, $5@5 50; Fryers, $5 50@6; Broilers, $3@ 5 50 for large and $4 J0GS for small: Pigeons, $1 25@1 50 per dozen for old and $2 25@2 50 for_ Squabs.

A SMALL INVESTMENT IN MARCONI SECURITIES WILL MAXE YOU INDEPENDENT IN A FEW YEARS. A LARGER INVESTMENT WILL MAXE YOU RICH. The Marconi Wireless Telegraph is the most marvelous and useful Invention ever introduced. It not only does all that t! telegraph and cable system will do, but very muth more and at a fraction of the expense. It is destined to come into more general use than the telegraph, cable and telephone systems, with their hun- dreds of millions of capitalization and millions uvcon miilions of dividends com- bined. It will be a means of communication between every ceuntry, every city, every town, every village, house, factory, store, office and farm, for its cost within the reach of every one and its use required by all. It will be more profitable than shares of the Beil Telephone Company., whick were first offered at $1 and afterward sold for more than §1000. An investment of $100 then has yielded up to the present time $200,000. The stock of the English Marconi Company was put out at $5 per share, and since sold at $22 on the London Stock Exchange, an advance of 340 per cent. The possibilities of the American Company are much sreater, No enterprise has ever grown Itke the Marconl. Invented less than six years ago and put into practical operation less than tbree It hasg been indorsed by tha leading natlions of the world, employed by many Governments and used in their Navies. Indorsed by prominent men and the press of the world. THE REVENUES OF THE COMPANY ARE CONSTANTLY INCREASING AND ITS FIELD OF OPERATION GROWING DAILY. The system has been adopted by the New York Herald for its great news department and by Lloyd's London world-renowned marine agency, who e contracted for the service for fifteen years, Eight stations are in active operation on the Atlantie Coast. More than 100 ocean steamers equipped with the Marcon! system. LAND CONNECTIONS—Arrangements have recently been concluded the Western Union Telegraph Company will undertake on and after March 1, the collection and distribution of messages for the marine service of the Marcon! less Telegraph Company of America. The Postal Telegraph Cable Company and the Mareoni Comnany have for Some time past beem working under an arrangement similar to that concluded with the Western Union Company. The Mareont Company therefore now has working connections with the two telegraph companies of country, and messages to and from outgoing or incoming steamships by either the Western Unicn or the Postal Telegraph Company, as Cesire. ‘The Marconi message for transmission to ocean steamers may be accepted at any of the 40,000 telegraph offices in the United States and Canada. THOMAS A. EDISON, MARCONI AND M. I. PUPIN OF COLUMSIA COL~ LEGE ARE THE CONSULTING ENGINEERS OF THEE COMPANY. NO PREFERRED STOCK, NO BONDS, EVERY STOCKNOLDER BEING ON AN EQUAL BASIS. NEW YORK WORLD, October 18, 1903, States: “The scope of the Wireless System is wider than that of the It is not unreasonable to assume, ihérefore, that great fortumes can made by moderate investments in the Marcon! securities, and that small will be- come independently wealthy within a few years. _ It is likely that will increase in value 200 or even 300 fold.”"—New York World. bor’t‘l‘. present opportunity will never come again, as the price will be advanced shortly.
