local selling for a reaction following the
recent sensational advance. July was
quiet, although business in other months
was very active at the start and prices
worked up to within 2a5 points of last

buyers the market weakened again dur
ing the middle of the morning under
continued realizing and the talk OF better
new crop conditions.
Business continued extremely active
during the later forenoon, and prices
eased of to net loss of 31a35 points
In old crop and of 10 points on the later
positions, under heavy realizing and as-
Eressive selling. based on the better east
orn belt forecast, the continued dullnesS
Of July and an idea that the market
was entitled to a further setback after
its recent excitement. Nevertheless, there
was a big demand on the scale down, and
the market recovered part Of its loss be-
fore midday on continued trade buying
and covering by some Of the early sellers.

LEAPS TO ENGINE PILOT.
Auto Operator Saves Self and Com
pauion From Death.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, July 19.-Rare presence
of mind was displayed yesterday when
O. w. Nelson, driving in an automobile
with Miss Ellen Smakel. seized his com
panion In his arms and leaped to safety
on the pilot of train that threatened
them with death. The incident occurred
at Roselle, ILL.,, where the Elgin electric
road crosses the Chicago. Milwaukee and
St Paul tracks. The couple were driving
toward Chicago, and as they were on the
tracks a defect in mechanism abruptly
tailed the car.
A freight train was rushing toward
them. The engineer applied the brakes,
but the train maintained it's velocity. AS
II was about to crush the automobile
and It's occupants Nelson grasped Miss
Smakel about the waist and leaped for
the engine, clutching rail and hanging
on. The automobile was pushed of the
track and the train was not stopped In
side Of 800 feet. Nelson was only
slightly bruised. Miss Smakel's only in
jury was the nervous shock.
