May Delivery Leaps to Highest Nee

Chicago.-The highest wheat prices
with four exceptions since the Civil
War were reached in the local pit Jan.
2S, when options on May deliveries
sold for $l.5OB per bushel. During
the war Of 81 wheat was around So
per bushel. In 1898, during the ia
nous Letter corner. it sold at $1.s5.
When James A. Patten engineered his
corner in 1909, wheat scared to $l.6O
per bushel. Wheat sold at $1.65 in
1876 and at 81 in 1883. during the cor
ner engineered by B. p. Hutchinson,
known as "Old Hutch"
No. red and No. 9 hard wheat
were right up with wheat futures, bo.h
reaching $1.50%. Operators pointed to
this fact as significant, as indicating
that high prices were not at least
chiefly caused by speculation, as dur
ing the Letter and Patten corners.
Thursdays prices were the highest
recorded since the Civil War on the
local board of trade, when legitimate
supply and demand largely governed
the conditions, said pit leaders.
The rise to Thursdays high mark
has been gradual but steady since the
first declaration of war. May wheat
was selling at S:1s cents on July IA,
1914. Within short period the price
went to $1.S2. This was in September.
Then came sharp reaction, the mar
ket going back to $1.11A, when opera
tors began to believe they had become
too greatly excited over the outlook.
The bulge upward from this price
steady ever since, operators giving as
their reason renewed activities among
foreign governments in bidding for
wheat.

Hereafter the locomotive fireman

that coal is to be put into the firebox

engines so equipped. Hence this is no

By this simple change the railroads

cause they viii. do so. they. win stop

It may be predicted, therefore. that
coal for house use will nv, cost so
much in future. But-that is getting
ahead OF the story.
From the efficiency viewpoint there
are tive great drawbacks to the human
stoker. Because OF the strong draft
a locomotive furnace has tendency
to draw small pieces of coal through
the stack. Also it was hard work for
a man, by the old method. to shovel
coal from the tender TO the firebox.

In the last few years. however. a
new type of Negro musician has APP

dance music of which the distinguish

form OF highly syncopated melody,
which in the early period of It's desel-
opment was known as "ragtime"
music. Since the dance Is born OF
