Chicago, Feb. about 100000
short corn was covered Tuesday.
This apparently weakens corn, but
.oCal bears have taken a big whip
ping and pit watchers note some timid-
ity as to selling Best judge of the
pit at the moment says all the shorts
not in yet and first sign of demand
from country shorts came yesterday.
The leading interest bought corn
openly Tuesday. If corn opens higher
today some selling is due If corn
opens lower buying rush is due. as
recent bears are now due to turn to
break buying side.
Short interest in oats is declared lib
eral
/ Bears in corn had little to say after
! the close.
/ The wheat market continues unaf-
/ fected by bear news.
This, in my opinion, is a strong
consideration.
/ I would buy September wheat now
! 1t can be held if a break ensues and
it may develop an immediate profit
/ I advise immediate attention to Sep,
TENDER wheat, in which the low on
crop is SS cents.
Oats reflect the enormous consump
ton.
Dat levels should be permanently
advanced
Main feature in all pits is the re
cent presence of the selling idea. Feel
ing has been too bearish.
Provisions may be at profit taking
level and a few good breaks should
result.

Rich DucaI Estates In England With /.
Curious Rental.

1t is not generally known that on
the anniversary OF Waterloo each year
June Is. 1915, was the original day
the Duke Of Wellington is required to
present the sovereign with a new flag
bearing the French colors as an ac-
acknowledgement that his grace holds the
manor Of Strathfieldsaye at the will
and pleasure Of the king, that estate
having been presented to the Iron Duke
as a national gift for his success over
Napoleon at Waterloo
The ceremony of the presentation of
the flag is today much shorn of its
ancient glory. for formerly the ruling
duke used to bring the trophy himself
on horseback and personally offered It
to the monarch. Nowadays 1t is sent
by deputy. however. and is then placed
by some appointed equerry in the po-
sition assigned to it-namely, owe the
marble bust Of the old Duke Of We'll
Mngton that stands on its pedestal In
the guardroom at Windsor castle. The
nag which has rested thcrs during the
preceding year Is then takssp ddNn and
returned to the dukes messetfer.S
It Is on the special condition ct thus
rendering this annual tribute Of feudal
service. AZ we may call It. that the
reigning duke is allowed to retain the
splendid estate already mentioned. II
he omits to send the banner on the
proper day he forfeits the right to the
estates.

The monthly results were very inter
esting. So far as l can remember, the
best performance in any month was
eight approximately correct guesses.
A nan might keep remarkably close to
the actual temperature for a long time
and then suddenly one day make an
error of 25 degrees.
The winners mean temperature
agreed within a few tenths of a degree
with the actual mean temperature of
the month, and the mean of all the
competitors NEAR temperature gave q
result that was almost exactly correct.
So II we had been so unlucky as to
lose all u thermometers we should
not have been entirely at a loss.
