Paderewski’s birth date, his name which is identical with those famous words, and the fact that the Poles consider that he has done more for the liberation of his country than any other man, are a most curious historical coincidence. My information is based on Paderewsik’s official biography, which the Polish government circulated under the title “The Man of Destiny”

LIGHT SELLING SENGS FUTURE PRICES LOWER Weak Cables and Crop News Are Bearish Factors in Trade. Bv United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 23.—Wheat uao steady to slightly lower on the Board of Trad--' today under scattered selling pressure with support light at the start. Liverpool was dull and weak with the better Canadian thrashing weather checking the advance. Corn was about steady, showing good resistance to early pressure on the change in the weather, which may hinder riel work and check the movement. Oats practically were unchanged. At the opening wheat was unchanged to % cent lower; com was •% cent lower to ’* cent higher, and oats were unchanged to ’* cent lower. Provisions w;ere steady to slightly easy. Liverpool failed to follow the full upturn here Wednesday, and at mid-afternoon was % to % cent higher. There is some belief that wheat is growing more Indifferent to the action of stocks, operators being encouraged by the action of the former against the weakness in securities. The sound position of wheat, all things considered, indicates higher prices to come. The east bought Wednesday, partly covering. A number of local traders have committed themselves to the bull * side of December com, buying on alj weak spots. The weather w somewhat warmer over the belt and there were scattered rains overnight Commission houses continue to make a trading market out of oats. They buy on breaks and sell on advances. The cash situation remains strong. Chicago Grain Table —Qct. S3— WHEAT— Prev. High.
