Miss Marion Leonard, in The Awakening of Donna Isolla.

which is being shown at the Orpheum for the last time today, is an exciting drama of life, love apd emotion. Chicago, May 27. Wheat averaged higher today, helped by a big decrease In the world's available supply. The market closed firm at the same as last night to lc advance. In corn the outcome varied from lc decline to gain, oats finished 1'yic to down and provisions with a rise of 5c to 12hic.

Word that the European crop outlook regarding wheat was beginning to cause some anxiety gave particular significance to the fact that the falling off in the world stock was nearly double that of the corresponding week a year ago. There was a rather decided feeling that in view of probable trans-Atlantic dependence on the United States winter crop, the recent decline of 4c a bushel had more than discounted the flattering harvest outlook In Kansas and Oklahoma. Corn weakened on account of needed showers in various parts of the domestic belt, but deferred -options hardened later as a result of advices that weather conditions in Argentina had again become favorable for shippers. Oats ruled easier because of the drouth being somewhat relieved and owing to signs of additional moisture at hand. Shorts in provisions took to the buying side.
