CHICAGO PRODUCE.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-An enormous business was
aElin transacted IN cash wheat TO-DAY. Ihe eAeer-
ness Of foreigners to absorb every pound o. this
grain whether in a desirable position for imme-
date shiument or whether II could be obtained
later in the year reflected the pressing wants Of
some Of the importing nations
FOREIGN buyers were on the Chicago Board OF
Trade As well as In the smaller markets Of the
United States. and 100000 bushels were ac-
cspted hy some the correct figures for the
days trnnsActions on export account. This did
not include the enormous business reported in

The larger cash concerns at Kansas City and
St. Louis, while reporting farmers freeT sellers
of cash wheat. said that the sample tables for
wheat were cleaned up early in the day and
that there was q pressing demand in addition from
the stores in those markets.
A great deal Of what Is being sold daily that
Is never mentioned By the trade. II was said
By one Of the leading Chicago exporters that it
would Be suicidal on the part Of foreigners to
permit their daily purchases Of wheat and -four to
Be made public. Everybody in the wheat trade.
however. knows that the daily transactions in this
grain are confined to- the ohering5-that every
pound Of wheat Offered is purchased.
There has been up to the present time q
scarcity Of tonnage in all positions for the eK-
portations Of breadstufS. During the past few
days 4 large number Of vessels were chartered
al Atlantic and Gulf ports for the loading Of
wheat to SO abroad and in the next two weeks
its is expected that the shipments Of wheat abroad
will be the largest known IN the history Of the
Chicago amrket.
Com and oats both ruled strong with advances
Of X to &c, and \ to NC, respectively. Wet
weather is slowly extending into the Western part
Of the corn belt. Argentine prices have gained Be
cause Of unfsvorabe weather conditions there. and
there were unfSTorable huskinE returns from our
own belts. New Com is being heavily fed in the
absence Of adequate supplies of the old. Cash
sales Of com were 1000 bushels and OF oats

sale Of two full cargoes q oats for export, some

New York, Oct. 23-Dun's Review to-
morrow will say:
"Basic conditions are steadily improv-
ing although considerable contraction in
general trade continues. The war has
stimulated activity in certain lines. but
the volume Of distribution is reduced, in
large part, of enforced economies and
checked enterprises. The protracted warm
weather serves also to restrict sales.
There is. no change in iron and steel. ex-
cept the better demand for machine
tools on account of the war. The dry
goods trade is less active except in spe-
cial lines stimulated by the war con-
sumption. In the shoe trade the mills are
kept busy by war contracts. The big
exports Of wheat constitute the best
feature OF the situation. With declining
earnings, which in the first two weeks
Of october were 1L3 per cent less than
last year. the position Of the railroads
is such that they are limiting their pur-
chase Of supplies to necessities, and their
economies affect the whole business sit-
uation. Gratifying progress Is made week
by week in that financial rehabilitation
which necessarily must precede full res
toration. The international exchange Sit
uation Improves, money rates are easier
and the coming of representatives Of the
British excheQuer to confer in regard
to the large balance which this country
owes abroad is distinctly encouraging.
Against this balance there is a gold pool
Of 800 000, 900; and the suggestion that the
foreign creditors take American cotton
Instead Of gold would, IL It is possible to
carry this out, solve two difficult prob
lens at once, relieving both the South
and the banks. Meanwhile. exports. par,
ticularly Of grain products, are increasing.

allow for the fact that it will "depre-
ciate" IL held to maturity.
The ladys reply TO this letter was a
piece of good common sense. from her
point Of view. In part. she said:
Long before twenty years is sup

means will let me, and in order to do SO
I do not want to cut down my income
every year for the purpose Of piling up

what little I own when I am gone, so
I want to spend a thousand dollars and
get back $50 every year so long as l
need it. Please send me a list OF some
bonds that will accomplish this result
for me-"
The incident illustrates that a per
cent investment which would be perfect
ly good for a life insurance company, or
a savings bank. or any other investment
institution which hopes to make its
activities a continuous performance until
the end of time, Is not always a perfect
~ good s per cent investment for every
body. In the case OF this woman a 81
per cent bond, due in twenty years and
selling at Il, is an unsuitable invest
ment, because such a large proportion OF

never come into her hands at all, but
would be piled up for the benefit OF her
heirs. II. on the other hand, she had
been a young woman investing money TO
build up for her own old age a COM
Portable position a 81 per cent bond at
a big discount would probably have been
much more suitable than n per cent
bond selling at par, because it would
automatically increase her principal and
would not give her so much current in
come, which, perhaps, might be frittered
away or nigh: be too small to invest
every six months. when II came in.
In the practice Of investment this
problem OF making an investment suitable
to the client is quite a large factor. OF
course II is not the largest factor, for
the safety of the principal and the interest
occupies the place Of honor in the con-
siderations- OF all honest men guarding
the Investments Of other people. The
question Of suitability is merely. there
fore, an important incidental considera-
ton. How important II is is hardly
ever realized except when one comes to
a case where a crisis in the affairs Of a
man or woman arises out OF the fact that
their investments were utterly unsuited
to the purpose for which they were made
An illustration OF his condition is fur
nished by another actual Incident
Some years ago a trustee who had
been handling a fund for twenty years
came to the time when. under the terms
Of his deed OF trust. he was obliged to
make a distribution OF the fund. He had
paid no attention to the matter of his
trust for many years because he had
invested all the money in absolutely
gilt-edge securities twenty years ago.
and had merely distributed the income
every year in equal proportions among
the beneficiaries as the income came in.
That was all he was instructed to do
under the terms OF his trust, and he
had faithfully fulfilled his conditions

Stocks TOO Low
in new Street
Intrinsic Values Better Than
Prices Quoted There, Says
Member of Exchange.
COPPER MARKET Is DULL
Currency Movements During Present
Week Show Cash Gain of More
Than $10,OO0,0O0.

New York, Oct. 2.-"Pessimism has
gone too far and prices for stocks in New
Street sEe far below intrinsic values, "
remarked a board member Of a large
stock exchange house today.
This probably will prove true of the
copper shares. In the trade it is under
stood that the Rio Tinto mines have
stopped producing. Practically no ship
ments are being made from the Braden
Mines in Chile; and Chino is, OF course,
doing nothing in Mexico with the dis
tuTbed conditions that still prevail. In
the Dollar Bay district, Michigan. Tama-
rack, Calumet and Hecla are not pro-
ducing. Several mines in California have
shut down and many of the other large
companies are only working so per cent
Of capacity. For the first three weeks of
Of copper were exported against 43, 3,OOO, 900
pounds in September.
= Eats Up Surplus Metal.
This is rapidly eating up surplus metal
and demands are increasing for the fin
ished product from Central and South
America with inquiries from Australasia
and Japan. Bids were asked today for
a heavy consignment of copper wire by
a South American community that hither-
TO placed its business entirely with Ger
man manufacturers.
There was a better demand for the
metal by domestic consumers and prices
show tendency to harden. The effect
was felt on the outside because Anal
gamated rose from 81 IA bid to IS L.
Wal street experiences more thrills
than ever were produced by Drury Lane,
the home OF melodrama. 1t is announc-
ed that insurance comps snies may value
their security assets for December 1914,
at prices that existed June 30 of this
year, and this under authority granted
by practically all the State insurance
departments in the country, with one
single exception. Thus, a moratorium has
been established for assets. The neces-
sity for this action may be argued, but
grave question.
Currency Movements Gain.

man, that is just what am using.
Ism it great, and don't you think my
hair shows lot of improvement"
Harmony Hair Beautifier is becoming
all the rage among both men and wo-
men who are particular in the care of
their hair. 1t is just what it is named -
hair beautifier. 1t seems to polish and
burnish the hair, making it glossy,
silky-soft, and more easy to put up in
graceful, wavy folds that "stay put. !"
Contains no oil, and will not change
color of hair nor darken it. Simply
sprinkle little on your hair each time
before brushing it.
To keep your hair and scalp dandruff-
free ard clean, use Harmony Shampoo.
This liquid shampoo gives an instanta-
neous rich. foaming lather that imme-
diately penetrates to every part of the
hair and scalp, insuring a quick and
thorough cleansing. 1t is washed off

guiring only few moments. Harmony
