Chicago, Aug. 1. Big new downturns In fhe value of grain and provisions today accompanied sweeping fresh industrial dis turbances and the progress of efforts to cut the cost of living. The corn market finished semi-demoralized. Zc to 4c net lower, with September $1.89 to $1.89 and December $1.66" to $1.67. Oats lost 2 He to 3c. and provisions 25c to 40c. Although right at tha outset, values broke severely In the corn market, It was not until after midday that they appeared to verge on collapse. The Increased weak ness then was due to the strike of 100.000 railway shopmen and the rapid develop ments at Washington In regard to meas ures for lower living cost. Suddenly al most a dead stop In orders to bur became evident, and holders wildly trying to un load forced the market lower and lower till the gong cleared the pit Despite some export buying, oats gave way with corn.

Stocks were under the shadow of the money market during the early part of Friday's dull session, but strengthened very generally later, when fears of a repetition of yesterday's stringency proved to be groundless. Call loans opened at S to 7 per cent, those quotations ruling until shortly be fore the close, when large offerings re duced the rate for mixed collateral to 6 per cent, and that for all Industrials to 8. It Is believed that plans now approach ing crystallixatlon are likely to prevent a recurrence of recent gyrations In call money, but foremost financial interests continue to stress the advisability of re ducing speculative commitments. Tomorrow's recess was a factor in the day's relatively light turnover, but the Increasing agitation connected with cer tain domestic problems, particularly the high living cost, has materially dimin ished publlo interest in the market. Bull pools resumed their operations In several of the more speculative groups, such as tobaccos, leather, paper and chemical shares, United Cigars and United Retail Stores enlivened the final hour, the first named gaining almost 13 points. Oils, steels, motors and equipments constituted the other features of the later dealings, when heavy covering of short contracts extended to rails and shippings, also metals and utilities, Pacific Gas and Electric rising slmost 5 polnta. Sales amounted to 1,000,000 shares. Recent conflicting changes In bonds marked to days moderate operations in that quar ter. Most domestic issues, Including the Liberty group, were irregular, with steadi ness In internationals. Total sales, par value, aggregated $10,850,000.

THE WOMAN IN BLACK By EDMUND CLERIHEW BENTLEY Copyright, 1919, by the Century Company. 1 CHAPTER XXXIX. The Last Straw. "What was that you said about our having an appointment at half past seven?" asked Mr. Cupples as the two came out ot the great gate- might hear you. Milk and soda wa ter I Cupples, you may think you have a strong constitution, and I don't say you have not, but I warn you that this habit of mixing drinks has been the death of many a ro m. iiyu gallic uui ui luc uiCdL uaic- K... . . . T1 ..,., t :i. c u... .... ' ouster man than you. Be wise in Z"i "vc "I tme. Fill high the t such an appointment? "Certainly we have," replied Trent. "You are dining with me. Only one thing can properly cele brate this occasion, and that is a dinner for which I pay. No, no! I asked you first. I have got right down to the bottom of a case that must be unique, a case that has troubled even my mind for over a year, and if that isn't a good reason for standing a dinner, I don't know what is. Cupples, we will not go to my club. This is to be a festival, and to be seen in a London club in a state of pleasurable emotion is more than enough to shatter any man's career. Besides that, the din ner there is always the same, or at least they always make it taste the same. I know not how. The eternal dinner at my club hath bored mil lions of members like me, and shall bore; but tonight let the feast be spread in vain, so far as we are con cerned. We will not go where the satraps throng the hall. We will go to Sheppard's." "Who is Sheppard?" asked Mr. Cupples mildly, as they proceeded up Victoria street. His companion went with an unnatural lightness, and a policeman observing his face, smiled indulgently at a look of hap piness which he could only attribute to alcohol. "Who is Sheppard?" echoed Trent with bitter emphasis. "That question, if you yill pardon me for saying so, Cupples, is thoroughly characteristic of the spirit of aimless inquiry prevailing in this restless day. I suggest our dining at Shep pard's and instantly you fold your arms and demand, in a frenzy of in tellectual pride, to know who Shep pard is before you will cross the threshold of Sheppard's. I am not going to pander to the vices of the modern mind. Sheppard's is a place where one can dine. I do not know Sheppard. It never occurred to me that Sheppard existed. Probably he is a myth of totemistic origin. All I know is that you can get a bit of saddle of mutton at Sheppard's that has made many an American visitor curse the day that Christopher Co lumbus was born. . . . Taxi!" A cab rolled smoothly to the curb, and the driver received his instruc tion with a majestic nod. "Another reason I have for sug gesting Sheppard's," continued Trent, feverishly lighting a cigarette, "is that I am going to be married to the most wonderful woman in the world. I trust the connection of ideas is clear." "You are going to marry Mabel!" cried Mr. Cupples. "My dear friend, what good news this is! Shake hands, Trent; this is glor ious! I congratulate you both from the bottom of my heart. And may I say I don't want to interrupt your flow of high spirits, which is very natural indeed, and I remember being just the same in similar icir cumstances long ago but may I say how earnestly I have hoped for this? Mabel has seen so much un happiness, yet she is surely a woman formed in the great purpose of hu manity to be the best influence in the life of a good man. But I did not know her mind as regarded yourself. Your mind I have known for some time," Mr. Cupples went on, with a twinkle in his eye that would have done credit to the world liest of creatures. "I saw it at once when you were both dining at my house, and you sat listening to Pro fessor Peppmuller and looking at her. Some of us older fellows have our wits about us still, my dear boy." "Mabel says she knew it before that," replied Trent with a slightly crestfallen air. "And I thought I was acting the part of a person who was not mad about her to the life. Well, I never was any good at dis sembling. I shouldn't wonder if even old Peppmuller noticed some thing through his double convex lenses. But however crazy I may have been as an undeclared suitor, I am going to be much worse now. Here's the place," he broke off, as the cab rushed down a side street and swung round a corner into a broad and populous thoroughfare. "We're there already." The cab drew up. "Here we are," said Trent as he paid the man and led Mr. Cupples into a long paneled room set with many tables and filled with a hum of talk. "This is the house of fulfill ment of craving, this is the bower with the roses about it. I see there are three bookmakers eating pork at my favorite table. We will have that one in the opposite cor neh." He conferred earnestly with a waiter, while Mr. Cupples, in a pleasant meditation, warmed himself before the great fire. "The wine here," Trent resumed, as they seated themselves, "is almost certainly made of grapes. What shall we drink?" Mr. Cupples came out of his rev erie. "I think," he said, "I will have milk and soda water." "Speak lower!" urged Trent. "The head waiter has a weak heart, and he My HEART and My HUSBAND Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations 0 a Wife bowl with Sa- mian wine; leave soda to the Turkish nordes. Here comes our food. He gave another order to the waiter, wno ranged the dishes before then, and darted away. Trent was, it seemed, a respected customer. "I have sent," he said, "fore wine that I know, and I hope you will try it. If you have taken a vow, then in the name of all the teetotal saints drink water, which stands at your elbow, but don't seek a cheap noto riety by demanding milk and soda." "I have never taken any pledge," said Mr.( Cupples, examining his mutton with a fovorable eye. "I sim ply don't care about wine. I bought a bottle once and drank it to see what it was like, and it made me ill. But very likely it was bad wine. I will taste some of yours, as it is your dinner, and I do assure you, my dear Trent, I should like to do something unusual to show how strongly I feel on the present occasion. I have not been so delighted for many years. To think," he reflected aloud as the waiter filled his glass, "of the Man derson mystery disposed of, the in nocent exculpated, and your own and Mabel's happiness crowned all coming upon me together! I drink to you, my dear friend." And Mr. supples took a very small sip of the wine. "You have a great nature," said Trent, much moved. "Your outward semblance doth belie your soul's immensity. I should have expected s soon to see an elephant conduct ing at the opera as you drinking my health. Dear Cupples! May his beak retain ever that delicate rose stain! No, curse it all!" he broke out, surprising a shade of discomfort that fitted over his companion's face as he tasted the wine again. "I have no business to meddle with your tastes. I apologize. You shall have what you want, even if it causes the head-waiter to perish in his pride." When Mr. Cupples had been sup plied with his monastic drink, and the waiter had retired, Trent looked across the table with significance. "In this babble of many conversa tions," he said, "we can speak as freely as if we were on a bare hill side. The waiter is whispering soft nothings into the ear jof the young woman at the pay-desk. We are alone. What do you think of that interview of this afternoon?" (Continued Tomorrow.) Vegetables Are Plentiful and Cheap On the Omaha Market ' There is an abundance of fresh vegetables on the market now at prices lower than they have been this season. A market basket of tomatoes which formerly sold for $1.25, is now selling for 85 cents. Sweet corn is plentiful at I2yi cents a dozen. Large summer squash may be had at the rate of two for 5 cents. Cabbage, celery, lettuce, car rots, string beans, and beets are on the market every morning fresh from the gardens and are sold at a price cheaper than they have been this season. Cucumbers still remain too high in price to be available for canning. They are sold at two for 5 cents. New potatoes, which a few days ago were selling for 7yi cents a pound, have been reduced to 5 cents a pound. The first grapes of the season ap oeared on the market Friday morn ing and sold at 10 cents a pound. Compared with the price last year, when grapes sold for IVi and 8 cents a pound, there is a slight in crease in the cost. Blue and yellow plums and apricots, the finest the season has produced, are selling for 75 cents a basket. Peaches are 30 cents. a dozen. Musk melons of a large size are for sale at 1XA cents apiece. Lemonade comes rather high with lemons still at 35 cents a dozen for the small size and 40 cents for the large. The first pears of the season have made their ap pearance at 40 cents a dozen. Newly dried fruits are cheap and plentiful. Apricots may be had at 42 cents a pound, prunes at 172 cents, and raisins at the same price. The same kinds of fruits which were dried last year may be had for a few cents less on each pound. What Madge "Felt in the Air" When She Joined the Others. Katie's whole-souled compliment was absurdly grateful to me. For several weeks I had felt old, very much "married and settled." Youth, gayety, seemed to be slipping from -me. Not happiness I was not mor bid enough to feel that I was losing that, but I had the distinct sense oi belonging to an older generation, and the idea was most unpalatable. It had taken me some time to dis cern the reason for my feeling. Then I had realized that the presence firs! of Bess Dean and then of Rita Brown on my social horizon was the cause of my vague discontent. Both have the faculty of making othet women thoroughly uncomfortable and they exercise their skill most relentlessly, especially when there are attractive men in the offing. I had been vaguely distrait un easy, even, as I dressed because ol the knowledge that Rita Brown was one of the merry party summoning me. I had no reason for my feeling so far as Dicky was concerned, for he had expressed his disgust with Rita freely and frankly at the time of the distressing incident at "The Sand Pile." But, absurdly enough, I dreaded to be one of any party of which Rita Brown was a mem ber; because, in some indefinable manner, she managed to relegate me to the same region of late middle-age to whiqh little Mrs. Durkee belongs. Katie's words, therefore, were just the fillip my spirits needed. My little maid is too guileless a soul to say things she doesn't mean, and I knew that her little paean of praise came from her heart. I could not resist snatching a last glance at my mirror as I left the room, and my vanity thrilled to the thought that, whether or not Katie's prediction as to "joost knocking the spots off" Rita Brown came true, I at least had the satisfaction of knowinc that rnv gown was unusually beebming, and that I was looking my best. I found an excited group- waiting for me when I reached the lawn be low. Dicky and Alfred Durkee, in the background, were grinning broadly with the sheepish air which 4U. . a a - . iiic must sopinsiicaieo men some times assume when they have sprung a pleasant surprise upon their wo- manVinrl T Wfl lire T. .., ...... .iu. ijiim, mi a. xj in was fairly dancing up and down with glee she is the most naive, child like soul when she is pleased of any woman I know while Rita Brown and the Fairfax girls plainly betray ed their pleasureable excitement. "Oh. Madge!" Mrs. Durkee carol ed. "You never can guess what these reckless boys have brought home." "I'll grant that at once," I return ed, smiling. "I'm probably the most wretched 'guesser' in the world." "Come along, then, we'll lead you to it," Alfred Durkee announced galy, offering his arm with grand iose courtesy. "Get off the reservation," Dicky growled with mock surliness. "You act as if this were all your own sur prise. Remember the thing is half mine. Indeed, I think I paid $2.49 more than you did on it, at that I'll exhibit it to my own wife, my own self, IF you please." "What wonderful devotion!" Rita Brown's laughing words held a paU. pable sneer. "Why don't you blind fold her so that the full glory of the surprise shall burst upon her, at. once?" Her tone and manner were the acme of feminine cattishness. In clever, subtle fashion they belittled the surprise the men had brought, the fuss that was being made over it, and Dicky's, anxiety to show it to me. I felt and was furious at my self for allowing myself to be affect ed by the girl's airs that we were acting like a set of sUly, enthusiastic children, while Rita Brown looked down at us jeeringly from a pinna cle of superior worldly wisdom. (Continued Monday.) Judge Decides Man Unlawfully Held by The Omaha Police Jame3 Gannon, Twenty-fifth and Leavenworth streets, gained his re lease from the city jail, where he has been held since Wednesday night, when habeas corpus proceedings which he filed yesterday were bzrought before Pudge Sears in dis trict court.
