than at a White House reception We
have here the wives and daughters OF
many army officers, and the employees or
the government here are the best paid

dress in good taste.
And this brings me to the subject of
the amusements of the isthmus. The
women here are social y inclined, and
there are number of society sets. just
as at home. There is the army set, CON
sisting OF the wives of the high officials
and of the army and navy. for You know
we have a regiment here and some OF
Uncle Sans marines Then there Is
what according 10 salaries. and there Is a
society made up of the wives OF the me-

mix more or less with one another. al

There is consider able dinner giving and
tea giving and there are masquerade balls
and many dances of one kind or another.
There are dances every two weeks at
the TivoIi Hotel, pa for by the Tivoli
Club, which has 700 members. These
dances are the events OF the month and
are attended by the women from all
parts of the zone.
Among the other amusements are pic
mics to old Panama Fort Lorenzo, the
Island OF Taboga, and day excus ons out
into the jungle. There are tenn games
at every station, and anon certain
classes bridge is quite as common as 1t
is at home.

BIER FUTURE,

CHICAGO. ILL, July J4-There
are many possibilities in the wheat
market at present. This view is taken
by the average Spectator While the
lines of wheat held here for the pres
ent month and the more deferred de-
liYcries are not large. save in one or
two Instances, the rank and file
among the professionals are inclined
to hold a little wheat in case of a
change for the worst in the spring
wheat country.
According to advices received here
Saturday. there is no chance of black
rust appearing there with normal
weather, b w. Snow, in a special re-
port. SAYS that in many instances the
wheat plant Is too far advanced to
permit of any damage from black
rust.
Black Rust Unlikely.
Other we'll posted men, located per-
manently in the spring wheat country,
say that black rust is unlikely--that
conditions are not favorable for the
appearance OF that dreaded pest.
The receipts of wheat at Minneap-
oils and Duluth last week were 500
cars smaller than for the correspond
ing period year ago. and they were
considerably smaller than for the pre-
vious week
The average interior miller is still
waiting for the new crop Of winter
wheat to move in his own vicinity.
He IS down to bedrock in the matter
OF supplies of the raw material, as
every purchase of the cash articles
mace at Chicago Is accompanied with
Il stipulation that the wheat must be
rushed to it's destination at once.
Shorts i'm Corn To Suffer.
The trade in corn is impressed with
the idea that there is n large short
interest in the September future at
Chicago, They have Arthur Cutten
picked out as the big long and as
he has a good sized following, they
inquire that il the pit detectives have
been able to secure a good line on
the market as whole, the shorts are.
