VARIETY OF WASHINGTON PIE.
A Difference of Opinion as to What
Constitutes 1t.

A Difference of Opinion as to What
Constitutes It.
Almost every one has heard of
Washington pie, but there seems to
be no agreement Of opinion as TO what
member of the pie family rightly bears
the name Of the Father Of His Coun-
try.
Washington pie?" says the man
from Way Down East, which Is be-
yond Boston, repeating your question
why, sure, I know it. There are
three layers of spongy cake, with
two layers Of jelly or strawberry pre-
serves in between and white frostiDR
on the top. It's bully, too, and ]
wish | could get it here"
But that's not Washington pie" in
terrupts the woman from Chicago,
that's simply layer cake, and in be
tween is a creamy filling made like
cake. But there are only two layers
of cake, and in between is a creamy
filling made of eggs and milk and
sugar and little f1avoring. And you
put powdered sugar on the top
two persons from Boston itself, who
speak with the assurance that betrays
their habitat. "And what's more, we
never heard of Washington pie. Do
you think it fitting to name pie after
an important historical f1gure?"
1--WE been making Washington pie
for years." interposes mildly womaG
who lives in Pontiac and isn't
ashamed Of it, "and my Washington
pie is a pie and not a cake. 1 grind
apples into pulp and mix the pulp
with sherry and use that as a filling
for an ordinary open face pie. The
completed article looks much like
pumpkin pie, and it's the toothsomest
thing I know"
Now what is Washington pie?

PLATED TIN SPOONS.

Somewhat Elaborate Processes In
voTved in Producing Simple UtensiI
Here is one way Of making spoons.
the process described being used in
the manufacture of one variety of tin
plated spoons.
In it's original form the material
from which these spoons are made
comes in long, thin strips of steel
rolled to q uniform thickness. The
strips are twelve or fifteen feet i'll
length and of a width sufficient for
the length of the spoon to be made.
These strips are fed into a cutting
machine which cuts off pieces each OF
sufficient size for. making a spoon,
these being simply SO many small, fiat
pieces OF sheet steer.
Then these blanks are put through
a grader, machine with powerful
rolls which so works the metal as to
make it thinner in those parts OF the
blank that are to form the bowl and
the handle of the spoon and thicker
in the middle of the length OF the
blank, from which the shank OF
the spoon will be made, so that it Will
be the better able to bear the bend
in gstrain that will be put upon the
spoon in use.
From the graders the blank goes In
to a drop press, which cuts 1t into
the outline form Of spoon, though
from this press it comes out still fiat.
Then In another press the bowl Of
the spoon is formed, and then In still
another the handle, and 50 at last you
have the spoon in its complete spoon
shape, in steel, ready now to be tin
plated by dipping it in molten tin.

HEAVY DECLINE
IN COTTON MARKET
Rains In Texas Cause Selling
and Prices Break
BUYERS DO NOT RALLY
In Spite of Fresh Reports of Poor
Outlook In Texas the Market
Continues Weak and Loss
Is 20 to SO Points.

New York, July 19.-The cotton market
continued very nervous and unsettled to-
day with prices suffering another sensa-
a net decline of % to SO points. The
market opened weak at a decline of 70
to 23 points and shortly after the call
sold % to 20 points net lower on press
reports of beneficial rains in Texas, these
reports also having influenced the Eng
fish market, which, after starting de-
cidedly better than due, broke sharply
before the hour of the local opening
The local bear clique seemed willing
to take profits on a good part of its
line around II SAC for December, and the
demand from this source in connection
with fresh buying for long account and
continued support from some of the re-
manning bulls, who are believed to be
heavily long of the market at consi1-
erably higher prices, caused a rally OF
10 to 10 points during the middle of the
day. This Improvement was aided by
the official detailed weather report from
Texas showing that the rains had not
been heavy enough to do good except at
concerning the Texas crop outlook, com
ing chiefly from Memphis. but there was
no renewal of general buying and the
western belt forecast for showers In
southwest Texas was followed by private
wires reporting rain in that section this
afternoon.
December contracts, which had rallied
to II 99c suffered a severe break in the
last half hour, selling off to 11.77c, ITO
points below the high record SO far under
bear pressure and Texas rain reports and
the market closed at the lowest. Southern
spot markets were Ac lower.
Receipts at the ports were 1880 against
419O last week and 1896 last year. For tho
week $4,000, against 30,2s9 last week and
1850 last year. Today's receipts at New
Orleans, 667 against 1856 last year.

In that state which has served as the

Galveston, Corpus Christi, San Antonio,
Austin, Beaumont, Sherman, Denison
and Gainesville reported showers,
showing that the rains were general

the bears an opening which resulted
in their bringing much pressure into
play in sending the market down to
lower levels, although the bulls con-
tended that only light showers had fall

IN WHEAT PRICES
Heavy Arrivals of New Crop
Cause Weakness

Corn Market Shows Some Strength

and Provisions Strong.
WEATHER HELPS HARVEST

Chicago, July 19.-Liberal arrivals of
grain from the 1909 crop here and in
the southwest caused a further slump
in wheat prices on the board of trade
today, final quotations showing losses of
166D1Hc. Corn closed steady, oats weak
and provisions strong.
The wheat market was inclined to be
weak nearly all day, although at times
some frmness was manifested, owing to
covering by shorts. The movement of
new wheat on a large scale was the chief
factor Clear weather generally through
out the entire wheat belt of this country,
which will accelerate the marketing of
the newly harvested grain, also helped
to depress prices.
Total arrivals of wheat today at Kan
sas City and st. Louis were $1,000 BUSH
els, against 64,SS7 the corresponding day
a week ago, while it was estimated that
from 100 to 200 carloads of new wheat
were received here during the day. Cash
houses also claimed that country ship
pers In Indiana, Illinois and Missouri
were offering wheat much more freely.
Foreign grain markets were weak be-
to favorable crop reports from Russia,
Liverpool being off ss@s4d. There was
some selling at the start here owing to
the heaviness of markets abroad. Dur
ing the day July sold between $1.21 and
$1.181a. The market closed weak at al
most the lowest point OF the day, final
quotations on July being at $11SA.
The corn market displayed considerable
strength at various times during the day
despite an extremely slack shipping de-
mand, liberal receipts and exceedingly
favorable reports regarding the new crop
The market appeared to be oversold to-
day owing to the liberal sales during the
last few days and the first appearance
of any support was sufficient to force
prices upward. The market closed steady
with prices 1sc below to &c higher.
Trade in oats was on a large scale
and with the exception of the July de-
livery the market was weak nearly all
day. Covering caused an advance of
&c in July but nearly all OF this gain
was lost. Favorable crop reports prompt
ed much of the selling. The first car
of new oats was received here today
from Lexington, Ill. 1t was of the early
variety and weighed 80 pounds to the
bushel. The car was mo grade" owing
to heating. Prices at the close were Ne
to 5sQ%c lower compared with Satur-
days close.
I Provisions were firm all day because
of fair support by local packers. A s
to 10 cent advance in live hogs was a
|
with prices unchanged to 25c higher.
Leading futures ranged as follows:

BETTER TONE IN
STOCK MARKET
Outside Business Is Well Bal
anced for the Day
GOOD GAINS ARE MADE
Conditions Are Somewhat Mixed ow-
ing to Free Buying and Selling
and the Net Result Is
Small Decline.
GOOD GAINS ARE MADE

New York, July 1s.-The Monday stock
market showed the good effects of last
weeks rising tendency in the accretion
of buying orders from outside sources
with the opening of the new week. These
were not so striAingly large but their eff
feet on speculative sentiment was so I'm
presslve that a demand might be at
tracted at the present level Of prices
which was left questionable by the slug
glish movement of, the general market
last week. 1t is true that the buying
orders from outside sources reported by
the commission houses were accom-
panied by selling orders which were con-
sidered to represent profit takings on
holdings of a reimbursement charac-
ter. This selling might be supposed to
represent distrust of the present level
of prices on the part of an element whose
judgment is accepted with respect in the
financial quarters.
While the new outside business was
thus balanced to some extent, the stirring
of speculative interest indicated by the
presence of these orders encouraged their
operations Early efforts centered in st.
Paul, this movement being designed, ap-
parently, as a pendant to the APPOINT
squirt in Union Pacific in the Saturday
market. The stock also was carried a
fraction higher than Saturdays record
price OF 1881. These efforts were supple
mented by advances during the day, but
they had to contend with the obvious eff
forts that were making to effect realizing
sales in United States Steel to take adj
vantage of the high price, to which it
had risen last week.
An analysis of last weeks operations dis
closed that United States Steel embraced
rather more than 30 per cent of the ag-
gregate dealings in all stocks for the
week. The field of operations thus i'm
piled leaves no difficulty in understanding
the necessary effect of a movement In
1t to resell stocks. Union Pacific also
did not continue its strong appearance
after the advance of the first few min
utes. These mixed conditions weighed
somewhat on speculative sentiment as
the day wore on. News was interpreted
favorably. Even the labor troubles in
some departments of the steel trade were
given hopeful implication as signs of
a return to prosperity which the wage
earners were pressing to share. Amer
lean Car made a noteworthy GAIN prob
ably in view of advantages to accrue to
Its business from the embarrassments
to its principal competitor by the strike.
The Saturday bank statement was held
to prove the immunity of the banking
position from harm by the special money
requirements of last week. Call loans
were perceptibly easier again. The heavy
outgo of gold to Argentina this week
evidently does not end the movement in
the opinion of international bankers, who
express the opinion that the last week
