Men never fall so deeply in love
that they cannot climb out by the
ladder Of reason. Women have as
many heart-breaks as headaches, and
with as little serious results.

A parsimonious sea captain an
swering the complaints Of bis men

"Whau you complain of bread that

and shoes"

California ladies speculate in min
ing stocks IN place of bothering
their dear little heads over impracti-
cable political theories, after the
manner of many of their Eastern sis.
ters Some of them operate upon
their sagacious judgment, while
Others rely upon the advice of male
friends who "kDow what is going on"
One lady has raked in the snug sum
of $1,000, another counts her gains
at $4,000. while another fair one is
spoken of among her friends as hav-
ing realized quite a fortune" This
is certainly profitable, if not better
in every way, than struttiog upon
platforms in outer clothing and
shortened hair, dispensing dreary
latitudes to as Ireary audiences.

~o s." TUESDAY. August 1915 Pm.
On 'Change to-day wheat, with limited arrivals,
was stronger but quiet, the market closing dull.
The inquiry is principally for export Flour closed

grades and superfne shipping extras New is In
free supply without demand. Cotton was duh and
easier at 20Ac. for low middling and 21a<c. for

GOLD 115H-114T.
The leading feature Of interest on Wall street was
a sharp decline in gold this afternoon to 114X
The earlier sales OF to-day were at 115k and 1153s,
and the explanation given In the Gold Room of the
sudden drop was the pressure OF bills on Amster-
dam upon the market. Outside the traditional
reason for the rapid decline, that the clique are
selling out, was generally assigned as q suficlent
Interpretation Of the new situation. There is
likely to be good deal Of truth in the latter as
sumption, inasmuch as the course of the loan mar
ket recently has shown the absence Of any consider
able short interest without which 1t would be hope
less to attempt to bull gold A sudden
change of 'front.', therefore, that might
tempt the creation of new short
interest would be perfectly in accord with the
plans or the clique and offers reasonable solution
Of this afternoons movement. At the close the
premium was ia 1916 to 114zs At the loan mar
ket the rates were nat for borrowing to and per
cent for carrying. The Assistant Treasurer paid
out 900 on account of interest and coo In re-
demption Of fve-twenty bonds. The customs re-

shrinkage Of Grain.

The writer had a quantity carefully meas
ured and put mp in sacks. It remained in a
cool barn In this way for three months
When the sacks We're first filed, the mouths
could be scarcely tied, they We're 50 full
At the end Of three months there WAS ap-
parentiy plenty of room for more. For
curiosity some OF il was measured, and it
was found two quarts per bu-hel had fallen
away, which is loss of about seven per
cent. The place where the seed was kept
was very unfavOrable to waste. There was
no heat or wind to dry it up, and it may be
taken as the very lowest percentage of loss.
l nder other circumstances, the loss by saw
ing six months may often reach as high as
