So much excitement ruled In tho
pit that transactions in many cases
wero 3 cents apart at tile same in
stance. Initial range on December
varies from $1.42 to $1.45.
Jumps In tho value of other op
tions than December, nllhougli radi
cal, were not ijuito so rapid. Taken
as a whole, the markei opened r to
8c higher. Relative, steadiness when
established Bhowed that there had
been heavy gains.
In Inlor dealings tho May delivery
rose to the plienomhinl price of $1.50

over yesterday's final figures, and
4(1 up as compared witli the price
at tho corresponding time a year ago.

Corn developed an Independent
strength, owing to the bullish na
ture of the government report as to
tho corn crop, Afler opening 11-4 to

eased off to n slight extent.
After midday the fever to buy
grow moro Intense and the market
soared to 10c a bushel above yester
day's close, December wheat touch
ing $1.4 7. At limes die market ap
peared to be onllrely bare of of
ferings. An Incentive! for the lale
demand was an estimate by a lead
ing authority that owing to the In
crease of black rust, the Canadian
crop tliis season would be only 200,
000,000 bushels, a shortage og 1 :!(!,
000,000 bushels under last year's
total.
TwWvo-Ccnt Advance.
.lust before the close a fresh bulge
in the market rushed prices up to
nearly 12c In some cases. Tlie new
stimulus came from assertions that a
large export business was In progress.
(Advices thai the weather In
Cnnada was muggy and that black
rust damage therefore wouli
likely to Increase, led afterward to
higher prices. Foreigners were said
to be active buyers, both for Im
mediate i-hlpmeiit and future de

"The Nature Man," or "A Struggle
for Existence," featuring Joe Knowles
the Broadway feature which opens a
two day engagement nt the Pago to
day, ranks extremely high among the
Hroadwny features. If it were for no
other reason than tlie wondrous beau
ty of the photography, which shows
us no other feature in our recollec
tion docs, the majesty of the nature
man, would be n feature par exeel-
enee. It is five reels of the most
wonderful pictures of primal forest,
snow-capped mountains, graceful
waterfalls, rushing eatnraets and
magnificent vistas, and through it ull
runs the human exiierience story of
a man endeavoring to carve out an
existence from rugged nature without
the assistance of any of the tools
and appliances with which twenty
centuries of civilization have endowed
him.
'fhe man who underinok to prove,
and did prove, Hint a mail could go
info Hie forest alone and empty hand
ed, and willi his bare hands win a
comfortable and pleasurable existence
is Joe Knowles.
The film shows nil of his struggles,
his hair-breadtb escapes from beim;
dashed over cliffs, bis encounter with
wild unimuls, mid his extremely inter
esting method of making his existence
comfortable.

took Kzerzany, lias scored a new Vic- (
tory by the capture of Tlumach, ten !

There is one stronghold in every connnunity that the mail order house

kinds of bribery the Home Newspaper has stood its ground for forty years and
steadily refused the advertising patronage of the mail order houses. Right now
