IS THERE

Chicago.-James A. Patten was
victorious again, when he was able to
sell more of his May wheat at the
record price of $1.38. The deal for
time worked out very well for Mr..
Patten, but the real burden is being
borne by the people, who are working
hard for their loaves of bread and
are getting less and less for their
money every day on account of the
high price of -four, consequent upon
the advance in the price of wheat,
Bakers admit that bread is more
expensive than it has been for long
time, although. the increase is care
fully concealed from the buying pub
lie. The retail price of bread is still
FIVE cents a loaf, but if housewives
were to take the trouble to weigh
the loaves which they purchase they
would soon discover that they are
rapidly diminishing in weight, al
though the size may remain the same.
Corpulent loaves can be manufac-
tured by heavy charge of atmos-
phere, but that counts for little when
it comes to assauging the pangs of
hunger. Bakers are not taking at
all kindly to the game of boosting
the staff of life now being played on
the Board of Trade.
New York City.--While the Patten
bulls in wheat in Chicago rushed
prices up to war quotations, some
thing of the kind happened in the
local market for vegetables and
fruits. In Washington Market, for
instance, dealers were getting 81 and
$7.25 barrel for Bermuda potatoes,
as against $3.50 year ago. Aspar-
agus sold at IS dozen punches, as
against 1925 a year ago, and let
tuce brought twenty-five cents for
three heads about as big as mans
hand. A year ago dealers were glad
to get ten cents for three heads. Gu
cumbers sold for six to ten cents
each.
Apples are almost as scarce as
wheat. Seven dollars barrel is the
nominal quotation. but only the big
dealers have any to sell, and the best
are being sent to London The New
York State crop was badly damaged
by the dry spell last summer, and
when it was sought to put the apples
in cold storage they wouldn't keep
Colorado apples were similarly af-
fected Thousands of barrels, deal
ers say, rotted and had to be thrown
away. The vegetable market has
been stiffened lately by three severe
frosts in Virginia, which killed all
growing stuff. and the farmers have
had to replant.
The keeper of a small fruit and
vegetable stand in Washington Mar
ket said that, while it would be de-
MED, he was sure there was trust
which controlled wholesale prices and
had put them up to the present high
level.
'eThe United Fruit Dealers Asso-
citation is doing this" he said, 'and
it tells us prices are going still
higher. Every dealer in this place
pays the same price. There is no es-
cape. The bulk of the vegetable
stuff we sell at this season comes
from Charleston, S. c.; Bermuda
and Florida, both by rail and steam
ship. Some stuff also comes from
California There seems always a
scarcity, though now, after the Easter
demand has subsidized, prices ought to
go down. The Virginia frost will be

MEMOIRS OF DAN RICE" THE
CLOWN OF OUR DADDIES.
At Last, There is on Sale a Book
Brirnful of American Hnmor.

At Last, There is on Sale a Book
Brimful of American Humor.
Any bookseller will tell you that
the constant quest of his customers
is for "a book which will make me
laugh. The bookman is compelled
to reply that the race of American
humorists has run out and comic lit
erature is scarcer than funny plays.
A wide sale is therefore predicted for
the Memoirs of Dan Rice" the
Clown of Our Daddies, written by
Maria Ward Brown, book guar
anteed to make you roar with laugh
ter. The author presents to the pub
lie volume of the great jester's
most pungent jokes, comic harangues,
caustic hits upon men and manners,
lectures, anecdotes, sketches of ad-
venture, original songs and poetical
effusions; wise and witty, serious,
satirical, and sentimental sayings of
the sawdust arena of other days
These Memoirs" also contain a series
OF ad ventures and incidents alternat-
ing from grave to gay; descriptive
scenes and thrilling events; the rec
ord of half century of remarkable
life. in the course of which the sub
ject was brought into contact with
most of the national celebrities of the
day. The book abounds in anecdotes,
humorous and otherwise; and it af-
fords clearer view of the inside
mysteries of show life than any ac-
count heretofore published. Old Dan
Rice, as the proprietor of the famous
"One Horse Show" was more of a
national character than Artemus
Ward, and this volume contains the
humor which made the nation laugh
even while the great Civil War ragged.

beautifully illustrated, will be sent

used now as an excuse for the high
prices. We are making no money at
all. -
Several other dealers said they
didn't know whether there was a
trust or not, but they were aware that
prices for all garden stuff hadn't
been so high in decade. One re-
suit of the high prices had been to
force some of the small dealers out
of business. Quite a number of stalls
in Washington Market have For
Rent" signs on them.
A member of the firm of John Nix
& Co., who are said to be largest
wholesale dealers in fruits and veget-
bles in New York City, and who have
buyers in California, Florida, Ber.
muda, the Carolinas, England and
elsewhere, was asked about the
charge that there was fruit and veg
etable trust.
Never heard of it," he said, "and
there is no such trust. If any man or
set of men tried to corner the market
he or they would fail. There are too
many sources of supply. 1t is true
prices are high, but the demand is
here, and the law of supply and de-
mand rules.
Naturally we get all we can for
our goods My opinion is that the
Grocers' Association is responsible
for the present high prices. Long af-
ter wholesale prices have dropped,
grocers go on charging the high
prices irrespective of market condi-
lions. The consumer should trade

NO MORE CHEAP WHEAT.
Head of Patten Corner Predicts Con-

Chicago. - James A. Patten re-
sponded to a telephone call from a
country miller who wanted to buy a
round lot of cash wheat. Before
leaving the telephone booth he per-
sonally sold 5000 bushels No. red
wheat at $13S, free on board cars
here, which is the highest price of
the year yet accorded for this grade.
He expressed himself as being de-
cided bullish on July wheat, believ-
ing it will reach even a higher level
before the next harvest than yet re-
corded for May contracts. He be-
lieves all of the new crop months,
which are now at great discount
under cash wheat. will have big
rise in values.
1--WE will see no more cheap wheat
in this country till there is more ex-
tensive production to meet the grow
ing consumption demands" contin-
ued Mr. Patten. II see little chance
for this increase in production in this
country this year because farmers all
over the Northwest declare there is
more money in raising oats and bar
ley than putting the land to wheat :"

fancied instrumentality in having
him committed to the institution, was
put to death in Sing Sing prison.
The electric current was applied
only once, although the attempt was
actually made twice, the first effort
failing because the wire attached to
one part of the apparatus broke and
fell to the floor, so that no circust
