Wheat-There has been practically
no new developments in the wheat

Flour-The situation in the flour

The grain movement is still imped-

will be a considerable diversion of
wheat to eastern seaboard cities in an
effort to relieve the situation. The

satisfactory by comparison with pre-
vious seasons, although some mills
are operating at capacity.
Butter-Market is still holding at
8 m W at unsatisfactory position
from the standpoint of shippers and

adequate and former rulings of 500

Cheese-There is a growing short
age of cheese stocks Of top seasonal

Poultry-There has been no change
in the poultry market within the week
as to prices. Supplies are coming In

life during the week, but with the
nearer approach of Thanksgiving busi-

Fresh Meats-Trade shows very lit

maintained steadily, and pork, which
has shown some weakness recently,
appears to be rather firmer.
Lard and Cured Meats-There has
been no change In the local market
as to prices for hams and bacon. and
the situation appears to be firm one.
Lard still maintains the level to which
It was advanced few weeks ago.
Hides and Wool-Quotations on

scattered about the island yield
enough to eat and to wear and the
Chamorros take little thought of the
morrow. But saving for furniture buy
ing is the "aristocratic" practice Of
the middle and lower classes. The
millennium will come when in every
home there is at least one piece of
American-made furniture.
Social classes and aristocracy in
Guam cannot be traced along the usual
lines Of demarcation. Practically all
the Inhabitants are land owners; many
of the lower classes have recognized
good blood and no family in the island
can be called wealthy. A native who
can obtain diet of vegetables for
himself and his family, two or three
new cotton suits a year, and $50 cash
annually considers himself well off in
deed. He is satisfied with his primi-
tive house of woven bamboo and palm
leaves.
These are the boundaries to his ma
tive desires and station. But If he
can add to his life the glory of a
walnut bureau or a nickel-trimmed
iron stove, truly the gods have been
good to him. And great, therefore,
Is his prestige.
Roughly speaking, the distinction
between classes in Guam falls between
those who live from day to day aud
those who are provident and thrifty
The upper class is cultured, refined
and exclusive. They are usually large
