Grain Opinions.

, Bartlett, Frazier Co: We incline
TO the opinion that the foreign de-
mand for wheat will be forthcoming
again and therefore prefer the long
side on the depressions. We still pre-
fer to keep away from the short side of
corn for the present.
Finley, Darrell Co: While we are
rather inclined to believe it will be a
difficult matter to press wheat prices
below the dollar market in Chicago we
can see nothing in the situation at the
moment to warrant purchases as stocks
are heavy here and at leading centers
with every indication of further &C
emulation.
Shearson- Hammil Co: Local pro-
fessionals are still the best buyers Of
wheat They seem willing to ignore
the bearish domestic condition in the
hope that France is going to buy
everything in sight. SO far their pur-
chases amount to very little.

Chicago, Aug. Is. - Wheat traders
said last night that the only thing to
dcIat present was to follow cables and
the foreign news. Should they be
higher today and foreigners buy wheat
they expect an advance. Local longs
were well out of their wheat last night
and the crowd were regarded as short.

Not Unfair to Cook,

The Richmond Times-Dispatch
seems to end fault with Peary for
claiming that in exposing DR.. Cook
as an imposter he was performing a
duty, not only TO himself as an ex-
plorer, but also to the country as an
officer of the United States navy.
Now, we don't know whether Peary
himself ever got to the North Pole,
but IL seems to us that he made it
pretty plain that DIR. Cook never got
there, and surely, with that knowl-
edge in his possession, it was his
duty, not only TO the country, but to
the whole world 10 speak out, and If
DIR. Cook couldn't defend his case,
why. so much the worse for DIR. Cook.
The mere circumstances that Com
mander Peary was detached from the
regular service to engage in scientific
research did not alter the fact that
he was an officer in the United States
navy, and If he did indeed reach the
North Pole, the glory of the achieve
ment belongs to the country he serv
ed. Surely, our contemporary does
not think that Cook has been un-
fairly dealt With, or that he is any
thing but a Misunderstanding Index

model OF efficiency in practical
operation is to prevail in the man

policy is the recognition of faithful

officials.
At the outset, when Mr.. Hawley
and his associates acquired contrib of
the Chesapeake & Ohio. the manage
ment of the road. which had proved
its worth by splendid results attain
cd, was retained without change.
When Mr.. Hawley began to reach out
into the West, linking up the chain
which in time Is to stretch across
the continent from ocean to ocean,
President Stevens, of the Chesapeake
g. Ohio became the executive direct
ing head of the combined lines. Mr..
Stevens has climbed up the ladder in
railroad life and h knows in theory
and practice all the details of sue
