A SQUEEZE IN CORN
Chicago Spectators Look For De-
velopments in the September
Corn Market.
The Stocks in Elevators Reduced to
a Minimum The New
Crop.
Bull Operators Expect to Close up
Their Deals Before 1t is
Marketed.

Chicago, Aug. 16--The possibility of
a squeeze in September corn, which
is now 1915 cents, is engaging the at
tention of operators on the board of
trade. Developments in the last few
days have kept shorts on the anxious
seat and there is much speculation on
the floor as to the outcome of the pres
ent situation. Small contract stocks
September shorts. Less than 100000
bushels of contract corn are now stored
i'll Chicago elevators, while the specula
rive holdings of a few bnn operators
probably reach in the neighborhood of
10.o0D0O0 bushels. which puts them in a
position TO dictate prices
James Palm is said 10 be long 5000
900 bushels of Septembe and is looked
Upon as the leader OF The bull CAM
paign. which many believe promises
startling results If all goes Well With
its promoters.
Shorts have one argument in their
favor and that is the fact that the deal
has Yet a month and a half TO run.
II III that time the receipts Should
enlarge sufficiently it is thought that
any effort to run a corner would be
abandoned. On the other hand it is
pointed out that there is little likelihood
of receipts increasing sufficiently 10
enable shorts to get out Of their Sep-
TENDER contracts. In the first, it IS
said stocks of old corn are very small
and farmers are retieent about selling
AS the new crop viii not begin 10
grade until We'll along in the winter
months the bulls are confident of be-
ing able to keep contract stocks down

is strengthened BY q good cash demand
and the prospect OF it's continuing. Ex-
porting houses say rheg are unaole To-
skeepsup with their orders for corn from
abroad, because of the small supplies

TWO WALTERS.
difference Between Negro Servers
In Northern md Southern Hotels.

difference between negro servers
In Northern and Southern Hotels.
II you have travelled, you. must certain
ly have noticed the wide difference be-
tween negro walters Of southern and
northern hotels.
In the north the waiter is stiff, rigid
and supercilois He takes your order
conaescendingIy and briskly betakes him
self to the culinary regions with the
same. He stands with folded arms and
scornful expression at some little dis
lance, watching, however, for an oppor-
tnnity to leap forward and pretend to an
ticipate yonr wants.
And when he brings your change you
are certain to note that it is laid upon q
plate and that one particular quarter is
noticeahly detached from its fellows.
In the south the waiter shutfics back to
the kitchen and returns with your meal,
to which he has added some little deli
cacy OF his own choosing. He glides
about you, leans tenderly over you, his
black fnce filed with anxiety for fear
some error OF omission or commission
may occur
He hangs about you with fatherly in
terest. He places the dishes before you
with almost caressng touch, and when
you are ready to depart he tremblinsly,
hopefully, l;ngeringly hands yo,l your hat.
In the white brown depths OF his eyes
there is cute appeal, not unmixed with
expectation.
Who but a case hardened drummer OF
the travelling representative Of frater-
nal organization could resist that appeal
You need not fear to give him quar-,
ter-joy seldom kills outright.-but you
can be sure that dime will produce 8
wide grin and m exaggerated bow.
But most people consider it worth 9
quarter to see that mouth widen into Q
smile which sets its owners ears bach
an inch and causes his eyes to project
like those Of a crawling crab.-St. Loui,
Star.

Kept by Mr.. Reiss to remember the

Each officer of the company, as we'll as

president Of the Philippine commission,
had long conference with Secretary
Root at the war department. today and
received the final instructions to the CON-
mission.
The preparation Of these instructions
occupied the time and attention Of SEQ
rstary Root nearly the entire day. The
necessity for haste 10 the matter Of the
Instructions. was due to the fact that
Judge Taft had to leave this aft sFDoon IN
order to complete some business in Chi

AN APPEAL FOR THE sTARv ING
MILLIONS or INDIA.

Il is said tnab the greatest catastrophe
Of the closing century is now being en-.
acted, and unless help comes speedily to
India's relief. millions of men, women
and children, must die before the next
crop Is harvested.
Scarcely three years have passed since
pimilar appeals from Iniia's shores filled
the hearts Of the American people with
pity, which could only find expression In
prompt and generous contributions.
Today this cry comes to rs again,
frsiahted with an earnsssness and agony
which even the former did not possess.
because In .theushort time that has
elapsed since the famine OF 1897, 10 has
not besn possible for the country to re-
oovsr It's wonted condition Of plenty, con-
ssqusntiy the people are lily prepared to
cope with this second terrible calamity.
Three months ago, the government
placed the number affected ct thirty mil
lions.
To-day 1t admits that this estimate was
too low, and that double the number
would probably be nearer the truth.
Ii IL possible for rs ns Christian people
to sit idly indifferent to these great
needs, while millions perish from the
very lack of what we enjoy In sur sra
bundance, and is 1t not possible to arouse
in our oity sufi Client interest among our
churches, and In our business houses, to
enable us to send generous gift from
our abundance to these suffering onesr
