SearIes Feels Hurt.

John E. Searles feels grievously hurt over the wide publicity attaching to Paul Morton's statement that among the dead assets of the Equitable was claim against Searles for sS5,00O MT. Searles de- clares that the only transaction he ever had with the Equitable was a loan of $90O0O0, which he paid off in full with per cent interest and that he does not owe the insurance company a dollar. MT. Searles has advised the legislative com mittee of his desire to appear before 1t and correct the Morton statement which he says has done him great injury in a business way. MT. Searles has had a long career in Wall street and has a great number of personal friends through out the east and south.

Great Corn Crop.

The unexpected favorably cotton report will be followed on next Tuesday by an official Washington estimate of the larg- est corn crop on record. Whether con- ditions have been everything that could be desired for the saving of the crops in most sections of the country and the entire agricultural population is in the full enjoyment of banner year. The ex- treme prices of the last two or three years may not be realized by farmers and planters, yet there is every assurance Of large profits on every titled acre. There Is money in T5c wheat, 4Oc corn. BOG oats and l0c cotton with corresponding quo tatfons for live stock. These figures are likely to be the minimum at which the great cash crops of 1905 will be mar keted. Consumers will fare somewhat better than they have in the recent past but they are entitled to an inning They are in need of something to offset higher rents and increased cost of living It is time the pendulum swung this way.

PART PLAYED BY FORK
 IN HISTORY OF WORLD

mention" said the traveller "a thing that might have been spoken of before in dis course of the first Italian town. 1 observ- ed a custom In all those Italian cities and towns through which I passed, that is not used In any other country that I saw in my travels; neither do I think that any other nation of Christendom doth use 1t, but only Italy The Italian, and also most strangers that are com- monest in Italy, do always at their meals use q little fork when they cut their meat For while with their knife, which they hold in one hand. they cut tho meat out of the dish they fasten their fork, which they hold in their other hand. upon the same dish. So that whatsoever he be that sitting in the company of any others at meal should unavoidably touch the dish of meat with his fingers, from which all at the table do cut he will give occasion of offense unto the com- pany, as having transgressed the laws of good manners; insomuch that for his error he shall be at least browbeaten If not reprehended in words. This form of feeding, I understand Is generally used In all parts of Italy, their forks be- ing for the most part made of iron or steel, and some of silver; but those are used only by gentlemen. The reason of this their curiosity is because tho Italian cannot, by any means, endure to have his dish touched fingers, seeing that all mems fingers are not alike clean. Here-
 upon I myself thought good to initiate the Italian fashion of this forked cutting
 meat, not only while I was in Italy but
 also in Germany. and oftentimes in Eng land, since I came home, being once equip l ped for that frequent using of my fork | by certain learned gentleman, famil- 1 far friend of mine one Master Lawrence l Whitaker, who in his merry humor doubt
 ed not at table to call me (Furcifer) slave only for using a fork at feeding, but for ] no other cause."
 The use of forks was at first much 1 ridiculed In England as an effemnate piece of fnery In one of Beaumont and 1 Fletcher's plays 'your fork carving trav-
 eler," is spoken of with much contempt l and Ben Johnson has joined in the laugh against them In his Devils an Ass" act 1 five. scene four. Meercraft says to Gilt head and Sledge:
 Have I deserved this from you two! For all my pains at court to get you
 each patent Gilthead for what? Meercraft-Upon my project of the | forks.
 1 Sledge-Forks? What be they?

Bulls Uncompromisinq.

On the other hand the bull contingent is uncompromising in it's faith in higher prices. The bull leaders have no fear Of reactions between now and the end of the year and stand ready to add to their lines on every dip. The writer asked one of the big plungers day or two ago if he thought the market would have it's advance from about this level. The specu- lator hesltated moment and then replied No, think not I think that the mar ket will begin its great upward swing from an average of 15 to 20 points above the current range." There's a bull for you. and radical as the view half joking ly expressed, 1t Is no stronger than that entertained by very live operators whose money talks in the trading on the Ex- change

Bear Arguments Sound.

The bear circles have a sense of sat- isfaction in the thought that even though the market may go against them for the time being their arguments are neverthe- less sound. They have much to say about the known effects of weight in a long race and say that while markets may be advanced by manipulauve agencies, they cannot be held forever in violation of natural laws. When they talk this way they mean the mony market conditions and urge that although prices may be held against the handicap of tight money for few days of a few weeks this un- natural state of affairs must be followed by reaction. They have been feeling for this recation for several weeks and the experience has been costly in most in stances. The sermonizing, however, goes on just the same and sway down fin their hearts the bears feel that although 'stung'' in the region of their bank accounts they are right To their notion 1t Is the mar kets that are wrong.

Cotton Pool Menace.

The manace to the speculative position of the cotton market seems to be the ex- istence of two or three strong pools. Each working in its on way for rise. In such a situation the play is likely to be run at cross purposes and there is ever a danger that one or more of the cliques will unload on the other. Each of these combinations, now in the field, believes itself to be strong enough to carry the entire burden but such may not be the case, especially with such an adroit ma nipulator as Theodore Price in opposition. Foreign exchange dealers say in this con- nection that Liverpool is not buying cot ton at these prices and that a majority of the great cotton merchants abroad seem determined to hold off in the conh- dent expectation of lower quotations.

Western -rowd Cleared.

Members of the so-called western crowd" who made themselves objectiona- ble to the resident aristocracy of Wall street by coming into that sacred pre- einct and making immense fortunes, have it to say in their own favor that none of them has been implicated in insurance graft. There are some advantages after all in not being taken into full Wall street fellowship. The probation period served by this western crowd happened to be the period of most vicious insurance grafting In the long list of whited sep ulcres now filling the financial district close scrutiny fails to discover a single prominent western or southern captain of industry.

you ever observe while dining In
 a restaurant how gracefully some I/ people hold their fork and how clumsily others?
 This seems a little strange, for the fork as one of the table equipments has been with us for a long time. yet the fact remains that we have not all acquired the art of gracefully using 1t says the Washington Post. Some grasp it with a clenched fist, as if 1t were oudgel while others slide their fingers down to tho prongs as if it were entirely too long for their hand; again, there are those who do not seem to be able to use their left hand to convey the food to their mouths; having cut their meat they change the fork from left to right hand. which Is a very unsightly procedure. Now, there must be A cause for this awkwardness. perhaps the three hundred odd years have not been enough to erase the primitive method of substituting the fork for the fingers yet think we might all acquire the graceful method If we would only give ourselves time and ob serve how ungainly and slovenly some people look when taking their meals. "Oh will some power the giftie gie us to see oursers as ithers see us.''
 The first mention of the use of forks in history was at the table of John, the good Duke of Burgundy. and he only possessed two, one of gold and the other of silver. At that period the loaves of bread were made cylindrical. They were cut in slices and piled upon a trenchei and placed beside the host, who carved the meat with pointed carving knife holding the point with a skewer oi wrought gold Or silver, which he stuch into the joint to hold 1t secure while cut ting the meat. Having cut the meat ir slices, he took it on the point of the knife and placed it on slice of bread which was served to the guest. This an cient custom of serving meat Is still prac- ticed in some hamlets on the continent of Europe. Before the use of this skewer fork leg or shoulder of mutton al- ways had a piece of white frilled paper decorating the shank which the carver held to steady the joint. This decoration is still the vogue in our delicatessen stores. When 1t first became customary to use forks a gentleman on receipt oi an invitation to dinner would send his servant with his knife. fork and spoon, or if he had no servant, he would carry then in his brooches pockets. as a carpenter carries his rule today. This ancient GUS tom still prevails among the peasantrA of Tyro1 and some parts of Germany ant Switzerland, they carrying their knife fork and spoon in case. Sometimes al these are found together, with rive through the extreme end of the handle.

Chinese Made the First Paper.

William R. Stewart in the Technical
 Worl Magazine.
 Like a good many other modern indus tries that of paper making had its origin with the Chinese. The papyrus of the Greeks and Romans was not paper at all but simply the piths of the stem of a plant cut into strips, placed side by side ad across each other and pressed into a sheet, to which the natural gum of the plant gave a homogeneous character. But the Chinese in very early times made as genuine paper, in it's general character istics, as that produced by the perfected methods and machinery of today.
