Wagner's Summary
MORNING GRAIN LETTER

Chicago, Sept 24.-Newspaper Cos
sip again leans to the bear side of
wheat. Local bears, however, only
mildly aggressive. News on export
business seems to be withheld.
Liverpool October is 81 cents above
Chicago September, which is healthy
difference. Should be bulges, but news
encourages belief in ultimate new low
points. A sixty million visible seems
assured. Worlds wheat crop is guess
ed as per cent above last year and
rye crop II per cent above 1911. This
increase of II per cent in rye is a
potent long distant factor.
September corn shorts will evident
~ have TO adjust themselves TO
basis of around 20 cents. Situation
is with the longs. September oats are
2 cents below the contract quality.
/ The steady deliveries in September
wheat contracts suggest a pressing
/ forward of cash wheat from interior
/ of northwest and southwest.
The weather in 50 per cent of the
grain belts Monday to p. m. could
not be excelled.
| December corn is regarded as a buy
around 30 and sale on IL to 2 cents
advance. Outside buying on the bulge
TO 53 for May corn was very poor.
The southwest corn news is regard
ed as a questionable bull point On
the other hand, the southern, central
west and northwest states are sending
in wonderful corn reports. October
conditions promise sos TO 81.
Recent bulls sold heavily on the De-
cember advance to 81.
New York, Sept 24.-There seems to
have been a moderate distribution of
stocks yesterday, probably with the
idea Of taking them back on recess
sions.
! But we do not think the movement
is over. We look for more bulges.
London prices for our stocks are
lower all around, with the exception
of Canadian Pacific and several other
specialties. The bears will doubtless
resume operations today and try TO
get prices down. Tuesday is their
favorite day for attack. The market
is emitted TO some reaction after a
8 point rise in steel, 81 rise in Union
Pacific and s points in Reading.
New York, Sept. 24.-Anaconda di

Not even the author of the Club Of Strange Trades" conceived of an odd CT means Of livelihood than that Of Dr. Martin Potter, says the New York correspondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star. He runs an animal pawn shop. If you have lion that you don't need as badly as you need the money. or want to soak trained bear for few weeks. or put up an ele- plant until you hear from home. go around to Dr. Potter. He'll loan you the money against your live stock and be will not charge you any interest But you'll have to pay the board of your pledge. ''I just dTifted into the business said Dr. Potter. T started cut to furnish trained animals to shows. I've rented everything to show men from a troup Of thoroughbred horses to a red eyed Numidian non. By and by I found that l had 10 lend money now and then to my patrons and take their stock in pledge. It was necessity of the business. but now I like it."

 EFFECTS OF DRINKING TEA
Consumer of High Quality Teas Runs Least Risk of Digestive Dls-
 turbance.

The Lancet publishes a concluding article upon tea which sums up the results of an investigation into the sub ject under the title of The Chem istry, Physiology and Esthetics of a Cup of Tea"
 The suggestion that an infusion of good tea consists chiefly of caffeine tannate is confirmed. It Is pointed out that when caffeine and tannin are in q state of combination, neither being in the free state. the harmful astringent qualities Of the tannin disappear and the bitter taste of free caffeine is not perceptible.
 The teas os high quality yield as a rule Q simple infusion of caffeine tan nate, not of caffeine or of tarnin. Such teas must be regarded as the most de sirable from a physiological point of view. It is interesting 10 find that as a rule the expert taster picks out these teas as teas of high quality
 Good teas. in short. according to this inquiry, are those which on a five min ute infusion yield only caffeine in the form Of caffeine tannate to the in- fusion and bad or indifferent teas arc those which yield on infusion a tea containing, in addition to caffeine tan nate, either caffeine or ;annin, but es- pecially tannin. in excess. A good tea may be made a bad tea, but a bad tea can not be made a good tea eZ- cept perhaps by very skilful blending. Excessive infusion will spoil a good tea, but even a short infusion of a bad tea may be as objectionable as an excessive infusion of a good tea.
 On physiological grounds. therefore. the consumer of high quality teas runs less risk Of digestive disturbance pro vided the tea is made properly.

WHAT HORSEPOWER MEANS
Example of Great Liners Turbine En- zines Given to Explain tke Com
 men Phrase.

In connection with steamship pro pulsion the average man is apt to speak very glibly of so many hundred or thousand horsepower. But it is extremely doubtful f one person in a hundred really has a due appreciation of what the phrase actually means. On this point some very interesting remarks were made by John Heck. the Glasgow engineer surveyor.
 He said that. calculating the strength of twelve men to be equal to one horsepower. it would require s40.000 men to produce as much en- ergy as the 10000 horsepower de veloped by the turbine machinery of the express Cunarder Lusitania. Then if the men were to work on the eight hour day system those figures would give a total of 2.520,O0o. that being the number of men whose strength would be necessary to drive the vessel across the Atlantic ocean. So it would take all the men in Scotland to supply the energy produced all the day round by the wonderful turbine machinery of this great ship.-Railway and Loco motive Engineer.
