CHICAGO BOARD oE TRADE

Chicago, July 19.-Wheat weakened
today on account of reports from
South Dakota that velvet chaff fields
we're being cut and that rust was toe
late to be serious menace. The
weather northwest was also of a kind
to favor the bears. Buying was only
scattered and the market opened u
to 3s lower September, which start
ed at S65s0% to S6B, a loss Of 1s to
A@as, declined to S6h@5s. State.
ments that harvesting would be in
progress by August 1 in South Dakota,
prevented any decided rally. The close
was steady at S6% for September, a
loss Of Il cent net.
Rains and cooler weather southwest
made corn take the down grade. Sep
tember opened ss to 5s off at 61A to
61h and seemed disposed to keep
within that range. The market later
had an upturn because Of buying on
the part of leading houses. The close
was steady with September %@A net
higher at 621s.
Buying on resting orders rallied
oats after an early dip in sympathy.
with corn. September started H@%
to 3s off at 391z@5s to 395s and re-

Provisions gave way on account of
the break in corn. First sales were

September options as follows: Pork

B USINESS MEN FAVOR
SANTA FE'S OFFER
APPolNT COMMITTEE 70 CONFER
WITH Y. M. C. A. ABOUT THE
MoNTEZUMA PROPERTY

Sentiment expressed at the meet
ing of citizens at the Commercial
club rooms last night was to the ef
feet that the Las Vegas Y. M. C. A
should be urged to take over tn,
properties Of the Santa Fe railway
at the Hot Springs, accepting the Of
fer recently made by the road II
was the understanding, however, that
the z. M. G. A. should be assured by
the business men Of the community
that it would assume no financial OBJ
legations, the transaction amounting
practically to the use of the name of
the Y. M G, A. and nothing else.
Should the property be taken over
the Y. NJ c. A. might assume general
supervision over its operation, the
same as at the camp now in opera
tion in the Gallinas canyon.
A committee composed of Charles
Ilfeld, Jefferson Reynolds, S. B. Rob
rer, F. o. Blood and Margarito Ro-
nero was appointed to confer with
the directors of the Y. NJ c. A. and
endeavor to induce them to accept
the Santa Fe's offer
Jefferson Reynolds, at the begin
ming of the discussion, described the
correspondence which the Commercial
clubs committee has had with the
Santa Fe railway in regard to the
Montzuma properties. He said it had
been suggested to the railroad that
he Y. M. c. A. would make an adj
nirable owner for the properties, as
i would not be obliged to pay, taxes
md could easily provide a caretaker
without expense by allowing such
person the use of one of the cottages
Dr. room in the big hotel The rail-
,oad accepted the suggestion and
wrote Mr.. Reynolds It would be glad
o deed the property to the Y. M. c..
A. with the one restriction that it
hould not be transferred without the
oermission Of the Santa Fe. Under
he offer the Y. M. G. A. is not oblig-
ID to carry insurance
Mr.. Reynolds suggested that in the
went the Y. NJ. C. A. accepted the
ffer the first thing to be done should
e the re-opening Of the hot springs.
Ie said the bath house could be put
n use again and man and woman
ou1d be engaged to run boarding
nd rooming house. This, Mr.. Ray
oida said, would enable the reopen
Is Of the resort on small scale.
Ie said the well known merit Of the
aters would soon attract many Wis
ors and It would not be long until
ae smaller hotel could be eropened.

optic Dance to
Be Big Affair.

Be Big Affair.
The big Optic dance that is given
during each encampment of the New
Mexico National Guardmen in honor
of the soldiers likely will occur We'd
nesday night at the armory. This
dance has always proved to be a
most successful affair, and the sol
dlers are anticipating a good
time, The former dances have been
given in the Duncan opera house, but
this year it was thought more appro-
pirate to use the armory.
There has been some delay in an
nouncing the date for the reason that
plans could not be made until the Of
ficers in charge of the militia could
decide upon date when they could
allow their men to attend the dance.
The best of music will be furnish
ed at this dance and the excellent
armory floor will be placed in note
worthy condition.
This dance has always proven to be
a most enjoyable affair in the past
and an equally good time may be ex-
pected this year. All society will
turn out to show the state militia
they are appreciated.

WHY NOT KEEP SOMETHING DOING
ALL DURING THE SUMMER TIME?

The summer warmth has taken its
effect on society During the present
week not only did the general run
of parties and other events take a
slump, but even many of the weekly
clubs did not meet. The state militia
at Camp Mcdonald has taken num-
Der of society folk from the city at
about o'clock every evening when
the parades and drills start and the
warm afternoons have taken the life
out Of the others. Consequently The
optics society column is unusually
small this week.
If our suggestions were followed
concerning this interesting phase of
life every member of each of the
clubs would be responsible for the
regular meeting of their organizations
all summer If the afternoons prove
too warm the clubs should meet in
the evening and the refreshment part
of the meeting be composed of cool
ing and inconsequential dainties. This
would prove to be interesting and far
more enjoyable for the members Of
the clubs, while their respective
husbands might be informed that
they would not be at home that even
ing until after dinner and they would
graciously govern themselves accord
ingly. We predict that this plan
would work with success and should
be encouraged even at the chance Of
the business in the divorce courts In
creasing, which would be unlikely
unless bubbles flirted with the wait
ers when forced to dine out on club
nights. For the younger set we sug-
gets that more life be put into their
social affairs All these suggestions
are made in the interest of more So
cial activity and larger society col
umn each week. Those persons who
wish to disregard them have our per-
mission to do so.
Two delightful hay rides were
given during the past week which
proved to raise the spirit to par and
the more of these kind of events the
more live society will be with those
who will soon take rank among the
leaders. The Buen TEMPO Dancing
club has not danced for three weeks
and prospects are that their next
dance will not occur until after the
breaking of the state militia camp
here. The Spring Chicken club has
planned to give dance also fcI-
lowing the adjournment of the en-
campment and with these the young
er set may be enlivened somewhat.
It is hoped that in spite of warmth
things will pick up within the next
week. Even those who are inclined
to be suffragettes are invited to join
in the big social whirl, forsaking for
a time the company of
She who fingers not
Till shades of night
To toss pot
OF dynamite;
Defying laws
Of "cat-and-mouse,
At times she'll pause
To burn house.
And as she RACES

She kicks and cries
And tears her vest

Her mild request

WAGNER'S REVIEW
cIosino Stoek Letter.

New York, Oct. 21.-During the hrst
hour. materially lower prices we're
established, largely due TO weakness
from London, but there was not much
pressure here from the other side
quite TO the contrary, it was dif1cuit,
we are reliably informed. to fill buy
ing orders at anything like prices
quoted for Americans. Discussion
was divided largely between the I'M
settled Mexican situation and the
money position. the latter complicated
so much by the calling of loans. an
order to arrange for the payment OF
marlborough Rapid Transit fives. 1t
is hard time. a protected bear posi-
ton is impractible. The bull seems
TO make little heldway and as to out
side business there is none, but for
all that, we believe it will all work
itself out in the shape OF an advanc-
| ing price, largely because Of the ex.
tensive short interest moderate long
position and the splendid yield at go
ing prices.

Business and Grain Values.

Chicago, Oct 31.-Forecasts of in
dustrial hesitancy are more pronounc-
ed. India is a giant cotton consumer
and her crop woes while helpful to
wheat values are a forerunner of re-
duced cotton purchases. Securities,
cotton and products are under the
shadow of recent business news.
The mere claim that the west will
pack one million hogs above last win
ter is fanciful The weakest part of
the provision situation is the price lev
ell which is not cheap" The GER
tainty of heavy hog raising cost in
1914 will not down. Canadian meat
imports may equal about l per cent
of our annual consumption.
The purchaser of May pork, lard
and ribs can afford TO act only on sell
ing attacks until the news of Novem-
Der unfolds. The corn crop is so short
as to defy any waning of industrial
activity. Again-if we have the hogs
our winter corn feeding will be vast
Our Mr.. Wild, who has just return
ed from a trip to London, New York
and Pittsburgh, reports New York
cheerfully philosophical and expectant
of mixed business conditions for con
tinued period. England is slowing VI
in her erection of cotton mills. Pitts
burgh is pruning her labor in all in
/ dustries.
The task of erecting an above IA
cotton level is not Immediately allur
ing. Wheat is at the cheapest 'ent
of October" level in five years ant
the desperate shipping attempts o
Canada and the United States to tos
away their surplus at Woolworthizet
price levels have not overfoode'
Europe.
Apparently the month of Novembe
is destined to bring overselling spot
in all markets from which powerful
rallies will spring. The investors mus
be prepared for instant action afte
bear overcOnfidence.

Social Events
RECEPTION AT lockwood.

THERE WAS A DELIGHTFUL So
cial gathering of the members and con-
gregation of Edgewood Baptist church
ing to the new members a welcome
A committee consisting of Mrs. Will
liam Thackham, Mrs. Frank Nelson,
and Mrs. Z. F. Meredith, assisted by
Mrs. H. l.. Andrews, Mrs. Cora Mel
son and Miss Urman had the arrange
ments In charge. A most unique pro-
gram suggested by the Halloween
season, was carried out successfully
to the delight of every one. AS the
guests arrived they were met at the
door by ghost who directed them to
follow the line of life which led around
the church through the basement and
up the stairs where they we're COM
PEELED to eat of the bread OF life and
drink Of the fountain of life, which of
course were not the things usually as
ISOLATED with those symbols. A cold
hand of welcome was the last greeting.
The church was trimmed in corn
stalks, pumpkins, etc, and in one part
of the room was a fortune teller who
told the future events in the lives of
those wishing to know. Short talks
were given by DR.. c. E. Taylor and
Rev. ]. C. H. Reed, and Mrs. Georgiana
Heck, who has been a member Of the
church for over three score and ten
years gave a beautiful testimony and
words of greeting to the members re-
ceived in the last few weeks, OF whom
more than a dozen were present. As
she finished her brief talk the entire
company rose and gave the chautauqua
salute. More than 100 members and
friends were present and the greet
ings were most cordial. Delicious re
| freshments were served and every
one pronounced the occasion one OF
th2 happiest it has eer been their

CONCERT PlEASEs.

THE LECTURE COURSE, GIVEN
by the Young Peoples Presbyterian
union, began very auspiciously last
night with a concert by the Fisher
Ship Concert company. The concert
was very good from all points of view,
and the audience, though small, was
appreciative. Miss Fisher Ship and
her company were very attractive
personally, and from the start, their
personality made itself felt. Their
musical numbers were not only en-
PERTAINING and musical, but were of
high order of workmanship, and
their readings were fine. The pro-
gram was of great variety, and ex-
ceedingly well given. Miss Fisher
Ship has a voice of great range and
sweetness, and was well supported by
Miss BlomQuist, a contralto. Mr..
Loar's playing on the mandolin was
as fine as 1t was unusual, and was
very much appreciated. The individual
numbers, as well as the work in con-
cert was most peasing, and the audi
ence was sorry when the program was
at an end. The next number on the
course is TO be given Nov. II, by the
English opera singers.
