CHICAGO-Whcat was weak early

strong later on heavy cash and export

row one. Corn was weak, principally
on the small shipping demand and de-
clined lk1Ssc. Oats advanced &c. Vel
low fever reports scaled provision
prices; pork declined l5c; lard 2k05c,
and ribs 5@7lsc.
Wheat opened with buyers In the
majority. The brief session ut Liver
pool resulted In an advance of sd in
prices there. AS local prices declined n
cent yesterday, this naturally had con-
siderable effect. There was n good deal
OF covering by yesterdays sellers Mt
the opening and buying by the profess
sional longs. September opened at
ThBG76Ssc. compared with yesterdays
closing price OF TAN @743sc. The advance
was maintained but short time. Prl-
mary receipts were large, nearly 30 per
cent larger than u year ago, and the
quality Of receipts OF new wheat ut
Minneapolis was said to be the best in
years. AS soon rs the opening demand
was satisfied, the market turned weak.
Bears took advantage Of the lack of
buying orders 10 put pressure on the
market and prices slid Off easily under
the raiding, September dropping to
AA, with hardly n rnlly OF consequence.

girls look as If really to take wing for

There was a girl, not long out OF

hair was like corn silk. except that 1t
shone. and she had pretty round neck
that was left bare by the broad, low:
collar Of her gown. This collarSwas Of
lace, and 1t was threaded through with
baby ribbon and fastened under rib

The skirt OF her dress had threa an

tell why It was so charming, except
that 1t was right for the day and the

Couple of Suggestions for the Vacation is in AUGUST

she Is wise, which Of the summers
fashions have proved dalntiest and
most successful. She has had two
months In which to study the wisdom
and the follies OF her predecessors. She
Is heir to the girls of July and June.
The August girl can make all other
summer girls, II she SO chooses app, r
like her mothers and granddames.
1t Is they who have worn out their
white dresses establishing white US the
color of the season. 1t is they who have
borne the odium of the sun bonnet,
only to leave 10 the August girl Its
victories. 1t Is they who have twisted
their hair into endless coils and fritz
zles, Just that the August girl might
find simple schoolgirl braids, quaint
and bizarre and bewitching. 1t Is they
who have toiled at tennis in short skirts
and shirt waists, to leave hammock and
piazza waiting for the cool, sweet mid
summer maiden.
Oh, it's fine thing to be an August
lass,
1t calls for little money: only sweet
temper and bright ribbons.
And white dresses, as have said be-
fore. White duck or pique or linen
for the morning, with short skirts and
white belts, or else blue or scarlet belts
and neck streamers. And white shoes;
these to be worn with blue or red
stockings, white spotted. And white
hat-or none.
Gone Is the occupation of the summer
mIllIner. For two years she has strug-
gled; has proclaimed the bare-head
craze mere fad. born Of the moment
and with the moment dead. Since June
she has sat UP o nights bringing out
now hats, three to the hour. 1t Is
whispered that she has hired women to
wear them.
There are girls who make q feint OF
wearing with morning dress Lady

wound with n hiue or crimson veil, but
the pretcnsc Is not serious. The hat
swings idle from tree twig or 1t car
ries flowers. / have known It to hold

Even the sun bonnet Is not a serious
proposition--or rather It is too serious.
That Is to say. It is too hot. Every
girl who has bought one has found that
the cape OF It is close about the throat,
and that of warm morning the outfit
is siiAing.
