TAKES EFFECT FROM SATURDAY

Saturday. the price OF hard coal rises in
Omaha to 81 a ton. II has been selling at
1850 during the early part Of fall, but the
rise was expected. and comes a month
earlier than last year. The top autumn
price was not reached in 1900 until No
yember /.
Some OF the coal dealers have definitely
notified their agents to sell at that price
Saturday, and some are waiting day or
two before Joining the movement, None OF
them have any intention Of holding to the
lower price.
The strike situation is not directly respon-
sible for the increase, but BY affecting the
price OF soft coal, Il has made the margin

TO KEEP A WIFE'S LOVE.

Simple Rules Warranted to Produce .
Darby and Joan Lite.
If your wife does not love you as she
did when you were married. you must
have fallen Off in your attentions. Re-
member that a wife is only sweet
heart few years later Make believe
that she Is still your sweetheart
When you 60 home from work have
the maid send your name up just as In
the old days. A wife likes these little
attentions. and If she is the right sort
she will send down word that she will
be down in few minutes. Then put
five pound box Of candy in promi-
you hear her coming. run to meet her
and kiss her In manly way as If you
had waited all day for the privilege
Then give her the candy. If there ia
but one chair In the room let her sit In
it while you stand. Now tell her the
events of the day in the Office in a
witty way that will appeal to her love
of fun.
When the dinner bell rings hand her
a bunch of American Beauties. pull
ont her chair for her and tie her nap
kin round her neck yourself. Then.
with low bow. seat yourself opposite
her and begin to praise the food. Ask
her to make sprightly remarks and
laugh heartily at them. Urge her to
tell you about the cooks doings. Just
before dessert show her the orchestra
seats you have bought for the opera
that night.
Never light cigar until you ask her
whether she objects to smoke. She
may always say no. but there is no tell
ing when her taste may change. and
no gentleman will smoke when his
wife objects to it. Give her twice as
much as she wants for an allowance
and always forestall any requests she
may be about to make.
In this way you will retain your
wife's love and forever lead a Darby
and Joan life-Charles Battell Loomis

CITY To ENTERTAIN
c. A. R.
Wenatchee Commercial Club
Does Not Propose to Pass
Up the Entertainment.

Despite the fact that l. P. Ferrin,
who was a delegate to the state en-
campment of the G. A. r. at HO-
GUAM and who, at that meeting,
gave out an interview to the press,
stating that Wenatchee was not cap
able of taking care of the next meet
ing of the G.. A. r. and who also pro-
tested against the meeting in state
ment to the Daily World, yet the en-
campment will be held here next
year and the members of the We
natchee Commercial club expect to
take adequate care of the old SOL
diers, the ladies of the Relief Corps
and the Spanish War Vet
Grams. This is the sense of the We
natchee Commercial club as express
ed in the informal gathering last
night.
While the monthly meeting was
advertised for last night, yet on &C
count of the heat there were but few
members present. The gathering
was waited upon by Mesdames Wen
ner, Gormley and Ross, representing
the ladies of the Relief Corps. Mrs.
Wenner was delegate to the state
meeting, and with Mrs. Baker and
Captain Burbank aided in securing
the next encampment for Wenatchee.
Their appearance last night was for
the purpose of getting a public senti-
ment relative to the attitude of the
club regarding the entertainment Of
the encampment next June. Mrs.
Wenner stated that there would be
fully 1000 delegates present and she
wanted to know, so as to inform the
state officers, if the Wenatchee peo-
pie proposed to undertake entertain
ing the next encampment.
Spokane stands ready to entertain
the old soldiers and auxiliaries pro-
viding Wenatchee does not want the
encampment.
The representatives of the Wo-
mems Relief Corps were given to
understand last night that the in
vitation was given in good faith and
that Wenatchee will entertain the
coming encampment at the appointed
time. 1t was the general feeling last
night that Wenatchee could enter
tain the visitors in good shape and
that the invitations would not be
turned over to Spokane or any other
city now that it had been accepted.

cost 40 cents. The price being re-
ceived is 40 to so cents.
Good cots are selling at IS cents
to 80 cents, and some as high as 81.
]. R. Stemm of Orondo has some
small cots on the market which will
barely pay expenses of picking and
packing.
R. L. Bartlett has some of the
incest cots that have been marketed
this year. These will bring ST..
Hamilton MARI has some nice ones,
too. They are not so well packed,
however, and will probably bring IS
or 80 cents.
w. T. Irwin and Frank Kingsbury
also have some that ought to bring
IS to 95 cents.
R. A. Tedford has marketed a ship
ment of apples. These ought to run
$1.25 to $1.75 box.
G.. Berdan has consigned some
peach plums. These are being held
at rs to 80 cents.
Peaches will probably drop tomor-
row, owing to the fact that a large
shipment is due from California.
Corn.
Corn is selling at $3.50 to $1.75
a crate.
Blackberries.
A few blackberries only are in
market. These are worth $3.50 a
crate.
1t is thought that next week bet
ter prices will prevail owing to the
fact that stuff coming in will be bet
ter.

MONEY MARKET IS
RECOVERING
Oppressive Feeling Disap-
pearing and Eastern Mar
ket is Improved.

New York, July 12.-Financial
markets last week continued to re-
fleet the apprehension felt over the
general business outlook, but further
drastic purging to which the stock
speculation was subjected left the
market so far relieved as to bring
into question it's further movements.
The evidence of influential buying
at low price levels fastened specu-
lative sentiment and built up a good
deal of hopefulness. The break in
prices at the opening of the week
was attributed to the death of Chief
Justice Fuller and to a feeling of
dissatisfaction with advices of the
banking situation in the interior.
Some of the lowest prices of the
year were recorded at the decline.
Coupled with the feeling that the
forces of depression had run their
course in the stock market, were
several factors of the more positive
nature in the direction of ameliora-
ton. In the iron and steel trade
the withdrawal of consumers from
the pig iron market, while regarded
as presaging further curtailment of
production, was due to a refusal of
further price concessions by produc
ers. In this. was seen promise
that recuperation was at hand.
Anxiety Subsidies.
There was subsistence of the
anxiety felt over the question of
government regulation of railroad
rates.
An isolated engagement of gold in
London resulted in some difference
of opinion as it's responsiveness to
national exchange conditions. The
| incident was hopeful, as proving a
source of available relief for any ex-
ira requirement which might be
thrown upon the New York market.
The Bank of England's plethoric
holdings of government deposits and
their disbursement in prospect
through maturity of short time
treasury bills assured abundant re-
sources in the London money mar
ket to respond to any call from New
York.

POOR PEACHES CHEAP
Clingstones From Wenat-
chez Can't Compete With
California FreestOnes.

Seattle, July 10 Clingstones
from Wenatchee cannot compete with
freestones from California. 1t is
this fact that will cause the low pri-
ces of peaches that are coming from
Wenatchee into the Seattle markets.
The Alexanders, the poorest peach
that Wenatchee produces, is now be-
ing dumped onto the Seattle market
in competition with the best from
California.
The representative of the Daily
World made a personal inveStiga-
tion of the commission houses on
Western avenue and found what
some of the growers of Wenatchee
valley will find out later, viz. that it
is useless to ship AlexanderS into the
Sound market. The reason was
above stated.
AS soon as the better varieties of
peaches from Wenatchee begin to ar
rive in Seattle they will drive out
the California product but those that
are now on the market will barely
pay expenses of picking, packing and
boxing. Among those shipping I'M
der those conditions are L. F. Min
ME, of Orondo, Nick Simpson and
Frank Padoshek of Wenatchee.
California Crawfords are being
laid down in Seattle for 55 cents and
being sold for IS cents. The Alex
anders from Wenatchee which are
so delicate that they will not ship
we'll, will bring 25 or 35 cents per
crate.
Apples.

Notwithstanding the fact that four
cars are in from Yakima and one

Five-tier apples are bringing
$1.25. Four and one-half tier are
bringing $3.50 to s1.75.
Apricots.
A bunch of little apricots have
been shipped to Western avenue.
These are like the first shipments of
peaches-not worth sending. A mar
ket elsewhere should be found, or
they should be sold to the cannery
