CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading: and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO. Deo. 4. Highest prices yet
on the 1915 crop were reported today In
the wheat market here as the result of
an excited advance. Buying on a huge
fcale, said to be partly on orders from
a foreign, government, sent prices up
ward 64 cents above the low point of the
day. The close was buoyant at $1.16
for December and 6L164 for May, 274
So to 64c higher than yesterday's finish.
Corn gained ?a net and oats kc to
4c. In provisions the outcome varied from
B4o riocline to a rise of 224c.
Closing quotations on wheat, which
Were virtually the ton for the session,
represented a Jump , of lOo to 134c a
biiHhel as compared with a week ago.
The buying fever at the end of the day
formed a notable contrast to the weak
ness apparent at the start.
Rumors spread that an unidentified
Ku rope an government was bargaining
for large amounts of breadstuff, and
there were also reports that the Canadian,
authorities would only allow Canadian
whxAt to go to Great Britain or her
allies. Besides, Philadelphia advices as
serted that an Immense business with
British mills was being done In both
flour and wheat, supposed to be destined
to a large extent to Italy.
Com responded to the strength oft
wheat. Otherwise the tendency was down
crrade, chiefly on account of fine weather
and because of the outlook for larger
receipts next week.
Oats followed the action of com.
Provisions averaged higher despite a
setback In the value of hogs. The bulge
In grain was largely responsible for lilt
ing the provision market.

HOUS Receipts were pretty decent for
a Saturday, some eighty-four cars, or
6,700 head, making up the day's total.
Shippers did not buy very many hogs
this morning, but the few loads they
purchased on first rounds were bought
at fully steady prloes, while tops showed
a nickel advance, good butchers reach
ing 36.55, the highest price paid since
three weens ago today, when best price
was 86.70.
General trade was mostly 6010c lower,
for while what hogs shippers bought
looked steady, there were not enough of
them to greatly affect the average, the
big bulk of the offerings going to pack
ers. Bulk ot the sales landed at $o.3btf
6.45, with a sprinkling of shippers to
$6.65. and tops at $6.65.
Today's break in packers Just about
cut the advance that has been piled up
this week in two, and current prices are
no more than 6r10c above a week ago.
SHEEP The fat lamb trade apent

ket at last week's close, and then Tues
day advanced sharply, prices going up

steady, but closed 1015o lower, and the
balance of the week values held about
steady with Wednesday's close. As com
pared with the low close last Friday
prices yesterday were anyway 16c higher,
while packers claim that considering dif
ference in quality between yesterday and
a week ago prices are a flat quarter up.
The close yesterday was, however, lOql
15c lower than the high point Tuesday.
The week ends with good to choice lambs
quotable at 8.60.6o, and some sellers
think really prime handyweight fed
westerns, a class which In, by the way,
very scarce, would reach $8.76.

AUTOING If YUMA'S DESERT
I nlqae Plnnk Road Biases the Way
Over tthlftlugc Sand
Dnnes.
i
Many of the auto tourists that visited
the two expositions In California this
year had occasion to travel over on ot
the most peculiar auto roads In the coun
try. West of Yuma, Ariz., there Is
chain of sand dunes extending cross-ooun-try
for many miles. In order to get
through from Yuma to Pan Diego It la
necessary to cross these dunes, which are
about six miles In width at this point.
They are composed of fine sand that Is
practically bottomless. These dunes are
tailed walking sand hills, because they
shift with the action of the wind. It
being estimated that they have "walked''
about 100 feet In the last fifty years. In
order to make a passable road across
the dunes the citizens of Imperial county
decided on a plank road. Planks 2x8x12
were laid three for each runway, thu
forming two strips of planking two feet
wide, with a spaca of perhaps three
feet between them. The planks were
securely bolted together. This made a
road for all practical purposes as good
as a concrete boulevard. Ths original
outlay waa several thousand dollars and
a man has to be employed constantly
keeping the road In repair and keeping
the sand from drifting over It.
In order that trafflo going In opposite
directions might not be hindered there
are switches at Intervals so that one of
the autos may take the "siding" while
another goes by. There are several stage
lines running over this plank road and
In addition to this there are from ten to
twenty autos traveling In each direction
dally. When an auto slips off the boards
' gome trouble to get It back on, but
the boards are so well bolted together
and the roadway so wide that there Is
no excuse for slipping off, a speed of
thirty miles an hour being possible for
safety. Indianapolis News.

had shot ninety-one Turks, of whom at
least fifty were killed outright Ring was
a crack marksmen before the war and
had won prizes for his shooting at Bris
bane and at Bydney. Blnce engaging in
systematlo sniping in the Dardanelles
operations, he has rarely missed on of
his human targets.
Day after day and night after night
he settles down comfortably in some pet
position and waits with Inexhaustible
patience for his chance. He alts for hours
with a telescope as an aid watching the
Turkish tracks over the hills or the
lengths ot the Turkish trenches until
sooner or later a Turk shows himself.
If the Turk Is wary and quickly bobs
up and then down again, Blng does not
fire. He proceeds on the principle that
emboldened by fancied security the Turk
will gradually risk first his head, then
his shoulders and finally the upper half
of his body. At this stage Hing's rifle
cracks and the Turk la seen to fall. A
notch is made by e?ln In a stick which
he keeps by way of a record. Sing's snip
ing performances are said to be beyond
question for every telling shot by him
has been checked by soma officer.
Arbitration Statue
to Come to America
(Correspondent of the Associated Press.)
PARIS.Nov. 21-Monsleur Aristlde Bri
and, the new premier of France, has Just
authorized the under secretary of fine
arts to send to America to be exhibited
for ths benefit of the widows and or
phans of artists killed on the field of
battle, the masterpiece executed by Mon
sieur Albert Besnard, director of ths
(French Art school in Home, to be pre
sented to ths Peace palace at The Hague.
This picture, ordered by the state long
befcrs there was any expectation of war,
was finished and signed July 84, 1914,
Just a week before war became oertaln.
It is symbolic of the spirit of arbitration.
A female figure seated at the summit of
a mountain listens attentively to ths
pleadings of two persons who ars ax
poslng their arguments. With ths right
hand she makes a gesture Imposing
silence on omi of ths pleaders who speaks
with too much violence and brutality. In
order that she may hear and meditate
upon the reasoning of ths other who ex
presses himself with more calm. From
this Impartial arbitration proceeds pesos
symbolised by a figure standing out be
fore ths composition like an apparition
detached from ths canvss. Behind this
figure on ths slope of ths mountain two
armed horsemen representing disputing
nations, are separating to return to their
firesides.
Surmounting the composition in ths
heavens In a sort of halo are the scalos
of Justice. This work of art, said by
good Judges to equal some of ths classics,

The trespass commutes of ths Associ
ation of Railway Claim Arents made a
very Interesting report to the convention
which met tt Qalveston last spring, on
accidents for the year 1M4 on railroads
whose mllesge aggregated 831,000 miles.
I The report shows thnt during Isst year
upwards of 11,000 accidents occurred to
trespassers on railroad property. Tha re
port of the committee contains thla
i significant language:
i "Experience has Indicated that the n
1 setment of appropriate legislation will
j not materially reduce the trespassing, nor
win even tno enforcement of such lawg
accomplish much owards the elimination
of the evil without the support and as
slxtance of the public. It Is necessary
that a campaign of education be con
ducted." Several plans for carrying on the edu
cational work are suggested, the purpose
being to secure from the public co
operation In the work of keeping railroad
tracks free from pedestrians and others
who have no business there, to ths end
that these accidents be mlnihlscd through
ths exercise of ordinary prudence. It Is
also suggested that a federal trespass
law be enacted.

"Whether his going will be an ultimata

Age of American Tobacoo
Users.
Ths youngest tobacco chewer, by setf
acknowledgement, among 8,215 school
children In ths town of "X" which
may be anywhere In thass United States
Is eight years old. This la recorded In
a bulletin of ths United States public
health service, reporting thd result of
an investigation of habits of Juvenile
attendants at whits schools In this partic
ular but anonymous community.
In this same place there Is a girl of
nlns years who dips snuff, as well as
a boy of ths same ags who indulges
himself In ths habit. Dipping snuff
appears to be a practice of girls rather
than of boys, with a record of one girl
of eleven years another of twleve
years, two of fourteen years and one of
fifteen years, without any confessed
practice among boys.
8lx years Is ths age of ths youngest
smoker of tobacoo, a boy. Ths habit
seized another boy of eight years, three
boys nine years old. six of ten years,
eight of eleven years, six of twelve
years, thirteen of thirteen years, eight
of fourteen years, twelve of fifteen
years, six of sixteen years, four of
seventeen years, three of eighteen years
and ons boy of nineteen years of age.
There appear to be no girl smokers.
Not one chewer of tobacco, by ac
knowledgement, was found among 124
boys from fifteen to seventeen years of
age. This, the public health service
Investigators find It difficult to credit,
but there were confessed chewers be
low and above those age limits.
Ons boy began to chew tobacco at
eight years of sge, ons at tsn years and
two at twelve years. Ons boy was only
three years old when hs began smok

Ths use of tobacoo was found to bs
mors common among children from
homes of Inferior sanitation than among
thoss of homes of better accommodations.

(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
PARIS. Nov. 80. A billion and a
quarter francs, (1250,000.000) more gold at
ths and of October, 1915, than at the be
ginning of January, 1914, with 1,000.000,00
francs Increased credit balance abroad:
that Is ths situation of tha Bank of
France after fifteen months of war.
A billion of ths gold Increase came from
voluntary offerings by the people In ex
change for bank notes, offerings that
are still coming in, ths l.OOO.OOO.ono In
creased credit Is less significant since It
comes from a loan by Great Britain, but
It is pointed out that, with this balance
and the Increased gold reserve, the pur
chasing power of the government abroad
is 1,216,000,000 francs greater than at ths
beginning of 1814, Irrespective of tha
credit in America resulting from ths Joint

LONDON, Nov. 30. James Ogilvle
Grent, who mads the eighth peer to full
In action in this war, was ths thirtieth
chief of the Clan Grant, as well ai thi
eleventh earl of Seafield. But as aristo
cratic as were his Scottish connections
for his earldom dated from 1698 only tin
merest chance saved him from being :
plain democratlo citizen of New Zealand.
His father, In fact, served as town lamp
lighter In Oamaru, New Zealand, when
the death of the sari of that time and of
his sole direct heir threw the title in 1M4
to a collateral branch of the family. The
municipal lamplighter waa then brought
to Scotland as ths earl ot Seafield. His
son, now killed In action, always pre
