been the sef-reliance which we asso-
ciate with the girls of the golden West
in the play or out of it-for while
she was a trifle. nervous, she won the
first game, and while she lost the sec
ond she once more triumpbed in the
third and fourth. Her opponent was
not in position to deny that he was
q burglar, but he took pains to prove
that he was not a welcher, at all
events, and, swallowing his discom-
future and another drink, he bade his
@hostess' a chivalric farewell and de-
parted.
The presumption Is that the lady
played the game on the level. Mr..
Belasco stirred good deal of discus
sion as to the ethics of the heroine in
his Golden West" drama, who imi-
tated the methods of the heather
Chinee, for
The cards they were stocked
In a way that we grteve,
And our feelings were shocked
At the state Of her-stocking.
In the real life incident it was the
bad man himself who proposed the
unique contest, and the presumption. is
that the lady had no opportunity to
practice any shenanigan. Aside from
the question of ethics, the outcome was
valuable lesson on the Importance of
self f-possession and an additional illus
tration Of the fact that in the course
of this varied life even the things we
learn at the card clubs may suddenly
acquire q surprising value.

THE CRoPREPoRTANDCANA
DIAN RECIPROCITY.

Halley's comet may have caused the
May drought; there are people who in
sist it did. =
Canadian reciprocity's menace may
be causing depression in the price of
wheat. There are people who say they
believe that, too.
Folks who are satisfied with less
fantastic explanations will doubt the
HALEY theory of drought, and when it
comes to wheat, they will very likely
turn to the June crop report just
issued.
The price of wheat slumped dscid-
edly last year, following the big har-
vest. The law of supply and demand
did the business. Wheat had gone 50
high that the world went to raising
more. There was no talk of Canadian
reciprocity then.
If last year'syield of wheat caused
recession in price, what of this years.
The crop statisticians tell US that the
outlook on June 10, despite the May
drought, was for wheat yield of l0.2
per cent larger than the average for
the past five years. That the law of
supply and demand is doing the busi-
ness, is shown by the statement that
the acreage is decidedly increased.
With the rest of the world doing its
best to cooperate in reduction of wheat
prices through increase of yield, it is
no wonder that prices are lower.
Here is the report on barley, con-
cerping which much is heard because of
the fear that Canadian competition
will have an injurious effect on its
price. The crop mathematicians an
nounce that indications are for per
cent larger yield of barley this year
than last, and 5.3 per cent more than
the average for the last five years.
Anybody who will take The trouble
to study the crop conditions in con-
nection with prices current, will dis
cover that the same old laws of trade
are at work, and that they account
fully for the fluctuations in prices.
The other day hay sold in Chicago for
S2s the ton, and it was announced
that this broke the Chicago record.
Anybody suspecting that reciprocity
did it?
Turn to the crop report, and you
find that the June 10 average condi-
tion of clover hay was s4.6 per cent of
the average for ten years past, and of
all kinds of hay, s5.l per cent of the
ten-year average.
What is the result? There is going
to be a very large wheat crop, and
wheat goes down; just as wheat has
done in every other year when the
June report indicated a big yield.
There is going to be a small hay crop;
and the price of hay climbs upward in
the scale just about as the mercury in
the thermometer adds emphasis to the
fear of a short crop.
Go through the list, and see if the
same is not true generally. The law
of supply and demand is broad and
accurate enough in its operations I'd
account for present conditions in the
markets. To seek some outside in
fuence is entirely unnecessary, because
the market experience of this June is
exactly the market experience of the
long procession of other Junes. which
were not marked by agitation or
thought of possible tariff changes.

MASON'S DAUGHTER
NEEDS ASSISTANCE
To tn. Editor Of THE TIMES:

Will you kindly grant me space In
your valuable paper where might be
permitted to ask II some kind-hearted
Mason would assist a lady in getting q
position. who is in deep distress through
no fault Of her own, but through illness
and the loss Of her father recently has
placed her in this trying position. Is it
any wonder one may grow weary Of life
when they try TO get along without
asking for assistance, and then only
meet with bitter disappointments? II
some one will assist me in securing a
position. 1t will be greatly appreciated!
