Generally speaking, anyone who
wants to know about the so-called
"Old South must get his information
from books Of history and popular
novels, but there are some places in
Virginia where the order OF things
has not changed enough to make any
difference for at least fifty or sixty
years
An example is tho blue grass belt in
Fauquier county, where the Blue
Ridge mountains break into low
rolling hills, covered with beautifuIi
natural lawns OF blue grass, and dot
ted with fine groves. In this region
the horse is a solutely supreme. Since
Colonial days, some Of the best
mounts in America have been bred
and raised in these rolling pastures. 1
and they are still devoted exclusiyely9
to that purpose. There are few
towns in the county, such as Warren
ton and Fauquier and Marshall and
lCalvertqn. all bearing names or
ancient southern families. but they,

which is practically the whole popl-
slation, follows them from town to

4 The people of the blue grass region
may be divided, without any pretense3
at drawing social lines. into two very
distinct classes. One OF these is the
farmers, who raise the colts; and the;
other is the gentle man horsema an.
who trains them. The sons Of the

that OF horsemen. nj

Chicago, Jan. 9.-Wheat-Heavy
selling of wheat at the opening was
followed by sharp rally. Towards the
found the market lacking in support
ing orders and quick break Of 2la
cents resulted. Nothing could be found
in the news to warrant the sharp
break, which is therefore attributed
only to the nervous condition of the
market. 1t should be remembered
that May wheat Is 81 cents higher than
the previous low point FIVE or six weeks
ago. Over night bids IN Nebraska,
where 1926 was paid, failed to dislodge
much wheat. Clearances were again
liberal and the cash demand was good.
Corn-The closing corn trade was q
az lower for the May and about n
higher for the week. While the clos
ing weakness was attributed to the de-
cline IN wheat, it seemed more logical
than the latter, in view of the fact that
country offerings on over night bids
were materially heavier. This increase
In offerings was offset to some extent
by improved domestic and foreign de-
mand. The days receipts Of 3T5 cars
were lighter than expected.
Oats-As was true in corn, country
offerings increased and this, with the
decline in wheat, caused a setback OF
Z61 cent. The shipping demand was
fairly good and local receipts Of 90
cars were in good demand. The visible
supply should show fair decrease for
the week.
Provisions-Continued bearish hog
news resulted in a lower provisions
market. Scattered holders and packers
were credited with sales of ribs Some
buying Of lard on the decline was
credited to packers. Closing easiness
was attributed to the decline in grains
The recent break in hog prices may re-
suit in some receipts and should this
occur, provision prices may be ex.
pected to advance,
