CHICAGO, Sept. 2.—Continued hot and dry weather over the corp belt for the last three days, combined with fur ther complaint of damage in sections of Nebraska, led to a rush of buying at the opening to-day that carried prices up 1 to IV4C over Saturday’s finish, September leading the bulge Frost in Canada and an advance of % to 1 in Liverpool were bullish incen tives in wheat, but the market made only a small gain. Northwestern mar kets were heavy, which offset the strength abroad. Oats were dull and made only a feeble response to the bulge in corn, due to the delivery of 2 200.000 bushels on September contracts. Provisions had a narrow range, but became firm after an easy opening. Grain quotations: Previous High. Low. Noon. Close.

Couldn’t 1 speed some if I had one of them! How many are you going to give away, Mister?” These ' are some of the remarks to be heard around The Georgian Office where the big red “Georgian Flyer” is on exhibition—the one just like The Hearst’s Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian will give to each boy and girl who secures forty new subscrip tions to the paper before October 1. There are many earnest workers and the subscriptions are coming fast. It would only be a wild guess now to say who will win the first fifteen cars and receive the Charter Membership Certificates to the Atlanta Pedalmobile Racing Club. These Cer tificates will entitle the holder to compete in any or all races and events to be held in the near future. Pedalmobile Clubs £y-e to he found in many of the large cities, having been promoted by some of the largest and best newspapers in the country. This sort of sport may be new in At lanta, but in many particulars the Pedalmobile races are to the children what the Auto races are To the grown-ups. In fact, they are handled a good deal on the same order and are interesting to the parents as well as the children. These little macliiijes are not to be confined to pleasure alone, but can be put to good use in many different ways. I11 some cities carrier boys who have won Pedalmobiles may be seen distributing their papers in them. All these cars are well-made and serviceable and will surely gladden the heart of any boy or ^ girl who is fortunate enough to win one. These cars are now on exhibition in the window of O. C. Polk Dry Goods Store, 29 South Gordon Street; South Pryor Ice 1 Cream Parlor, 353 South Pryor Street, and Imperial Tire and Tube Company, 349 Peachtree Street. While attending the Odd- and-Ends Sale at Polk’s Dry Goods Company, be sure to notice the “Georgian Flyer” in the window. OUTSIDE WORKERS.
