STAUNToN, VA, Sept. 26.
The outlook for wheat is more encouraging
this week. The leading markets elsewhere
show more animation, and here at home there
is more disposition to buy. The trouble here
is that most of the offerings are out of condi-
ton, much of it being unfit for present grind
ing. We hear of no carload lots going into
market since our last issue, but good deal is
being sold in a small way.
Hay is particularly dull and hard to sell,

The chair back has gone through al
most as many evolutionary stages as
the animal kingdom itself. Originally
designed as q protection from sudden
attacks in the rear, it became, from
protecting even the head of the house,
reserved for those holding the highest
rank in households or courts. When
the long white wig came into use the
chair back had to be sacrificed to the
exigencies of fashion, since which time
it's significance has been lost.
