MARKET CONDITIONS.

Owing to q heavy rain. lasting since
early Saturday morning, the wholesale
commission market here today was un-
usually dull. and this was especially
noticeable In potatoes. This inactivity
extended to practically all lines OF pro-
duce, including chickens. though price
changes were few and nconsequential.
1t is not yet known on Cary Street
whether crops were damaged to any ex-
tent by Saturdays storm, but this Is
thought improbable. The dullness of
potatoes IL due in part to the fact that
this product In now being harvested In
tho counties near Richmond and is sold
On tho market by the growers.

Fortunes Made by Song Writers

In the October American Magazine.
there is an article about the fortunes
made by song writer's. The writer
says:
when the new style OF popular
sons had wormed its way into the pub
lies heart, the Bowery took Harry Won
Tilzer in hand and tutored him with
the intention OF having him amuse and
entertain the public with his melodies.
Won Tilzer was born in Indiana, and
his musical education consisted OF one
piano lesson But the Bowery was af-
ter a creator. not a player, Won Til
ger CLEANED bis conception Of popular
music and harmony from the malodor-
GUS concert halls filled with clouds Of
cheap cigarette smoke, semi-happy
sailors, and painted, whirling faces
At the inception OF his career he wrote
long and often, but no enc displayed
any interest in his work, and he had a
desperate time of it keeping body and
soul intact.
In those days it was easier for me
to write dozen songs than make con-
nections for square meal Harry
smiles, whenever he falls into a remi-
niscent mood And | was ready to sell
song for from fifty cents up, new
er did get started until Sterling ana /
wrote the ballad, MY Old New Hamp-
shire Home. After making the rounds
with it We took it to new publisher
on Twenty eighth street. He listened
to it and then puckered up his lips.
Finally he agreed to take it home and
have his little daughter play it, saying
that if she should like it he would give
us fifteen dollars for it, For the first
time in many moons Sterling and
said prayer, and the next day we got
check for fifteen dollars
Would you sell any Of your songs
now for fifteen? the writer queried in
Joking manner
Harry grinned, and shook his head.
Can you picture me selling a song
like Last Night Was the End OF the
World for fifteen dollars? 1t sold
more than million and half OF cop
les. and my royalty alone would al
most be $4,000, to say nothing as to
my share from the publishing end. To.
day would not take $4,000 for my
latest song. 81 Sent my Wife to the
Thousand Isles which Al Jolson IN
tIoduced at the Winter Garden.
What IS the best way for new
writer to get a start?' Harry was
asked
The Lord only knows, he smiled.
Every fellow seems to get going in a
different way--some by accident.
some by design, and some by patience
and plodding j know several that
owe their start to Sophie Tucker. one
of she greatest popular song exploiters
in vaudeville In fact. she is looked
upon and billed in all the big time
vaudeville houses as the Mary Car
