PLAN AMARyLL|S SHOW
FOR INAUGURAL WEEK
Government Experts Expect to Sur
pass Effort of Four Years
Ago.

An unprecedented treat is being pre-
pared for the flower lovers of Wash
ington which may be enjoyed by hun
dreds of thousands of inaugural Wis
itors This is the largest display OF
amaryllis blooms ever made. The De-
partment of Agriculture greenhouses,
under the Jurisdiction of the bureau of
plant industry, at 14th and B streets
northwest, is working now on this ex-
hibition 1t was in these greenhouses
last month that the sixteenth annual
mum show attracted a record
breaking attendance.
The plans are to have more than
1900 blooming amaryllis plants in the
display. At the greenhouses there are
more than 100 seeding plants. vary
ing in color from the deepest red to
almost white.
Show Four Years Ago.
Four years ago an amaryllis show
was held in the government green
houses. in which there were about 500
amaryllis bulbs in bloom. The officials
of the bureau of plant industry calcu-
late that this year they can show at
least twice that number and make the
show the largest ever held anywhere
of this kind of blooms.
The show will be distinctive also in
that these are all Seeding plants and
are crosses from some of the best
blooms in the exhibition four years
ago The bulbs are nearly three years
old, and the governments expert nor
ticulturists figure that they should
throw up very fine flowers.
This show is different from anything
that can be seen elsewhere. for there
are very few amaryllfs plants grown
except in. private Conservatives, ana
those are mostly of the old type. The
blooms in the government display Will
be more varied in color and otherwise
than can be seen anywhere else, and
there will be more of them.
Hard Bloom to Handle.
1t is said that to prepare this amaryl-
lis display is much more difficult task
for the government greenhouses than
it was to propag gate blooms for the
recent chrysanthcmum show. 1t Is
much more trouble to get the amaryl-
lis plants to bloom at the same time.
This must be done by graduation of
the plants have to be moved from one
house to another almost daily to re-
tard or force the blooms.
1t is hoped that these blooms may be
ready to be shown the latter part OF
February or the first week in March.
1t is practically assured that the early
Corners to the inaugural celebration
will have an opportunity to see this
remarkable display.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET.
Wheat Prices Fell Virtually One Dol
 lar a BusheI.

Chicago, June 17.-Expected pres sure from the new crop resulted today in the wheat market falling to vir- tualfy one dollar a bushel. Prices 1-4 down, with July at 100 3-S and Sept. 102 3-4. Corn lost 1-4 to 1-20 5-8 and oats 1-8@1-4 to 3-8. In pro- visions the outcome ranged from Sc decline to rise of 10c.
 Bears ruled the wheat pit through out the, session, Holders could dis cern no demand in sight from Europe and showed anxiety over reports that country dealers were asking for bids on new wheat. According to lead ing authority, the market seemed to be waterlogged with supplies of old wheat and to be entirely unable to withstand hedging sales that appeared l imminent on account of the northward | spread of the 1916 harvest. One for l eign government, said to either France or Italy. was reported to be inquiring | for wheat, but the bids were exclu- sively for shipments from Manitoba. Harvesting in Kansas, which was to begin early next week, had much to do with the prevailing fear that hedg- | ing sales of wheat would develop un-
 wfeldy volume. Consequent liquidation 1 and short selling received no impor- tant check until in the last hour, the July option barely missed touching the dollar mark. Spectators who an IlcapaD6Q many I6SIlnS OrQerS to buy | at the oven dollar took offerings free- ly at 1-8 to 8-8 above that level. The prices reached today were the lowest yet this season.
 Corn sagged with wheat. Bearish factors, included favorable weather and enlarged rural offerings. Excel
 lent field conditions weakened oats. A good sized decrease in stocks next week however, was looked for.

 mission was actively buying lard and

Syracuse university's eight pared crews won the two principal events of the 22d annual regatta of the Inter .collegiate Rowing association at Poughkeepsie Saturday. The freshman race was postponed until today. In both the four mile varsity and the junior two mile contest the Syracuse oarsmen took command of the struggle shortly after the start and were never headed, sweeping across the finish line in perfect form and with plenty of power apparently in reserve.
 Cornell was second in each race. Neither Columbia nor Pennsylvania had the power to give the Syracuse CT Cornell eights a real battle. All -four crews stroked out the races game1y, but the Syracuse combinations had both rowing technique and the physical strength to stave off any spurt made by the other contenders.
 The varsity oarsmen from Syracuse won the feature race of the day, de- feating Cornell by little over a length of open water, with Columbia about
