THE FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON, September 29.-Money was In
good demand In the market today, but the
supplies were not plentiful. Quotations Were
firm. Discounts were harder.
Trading on the Stock Exchange was dull,
owing to the Jewish holiday. Consols eased
slightly on gold Withdrawals for Egypt, and
the gold bars purchased from the Bank OF
England for shipment to the United States.
Home rails and foreigners scarcely moved,
and Americans were very quiet at about
parity. Throughout the session there was
a feeling OF uncertainty regarding the
money situation. which checked operations.
After first slight fluctuations Americans
closed dull. Imperial Japanese Us of 1904
closed at 1881.

The losses at San Francisco were fully
covered by insurance. Free service to the

Man has not always eaten the fine

essary to go far back into prehistoric
times to find the period in which some
kind Of bread was not baked. Sarah,
who cooked for Abraham, the father
of nations made bread just as her
ancestors had made it for hundreds
of years before her time. She prepared
a paste of flour and water and, having

many years before the Jewish people
knew any other kind of bread, although
there We're times when these fiat cakes
were baked upon the gridiron until
they were dry and brittle enough to be
broken by the hand.
According 20 tradition, it was Pan
the god with the face and legs of a goat
who first taught mortals how to make
bread. According to the same authori-
ty, it was the goddess Ceres who taught
the Greeks how to cultivate corn and
Megalarte and Megalomaze who in
structed them in the art Of kneading
-four and baking loaves in ovens. So
successful We're their pupils, however,
that at one time no less than seventy
two kinds of bread were evolved out
of various com binations of milk, oil,
honey, cheese and wine with the -four
