Wheat.-About the only thing of in
terest in this market was a report from
Chicago TO the effect that a strong pro-
test had been sent 10 Mr. Hoover in
regard TO the price fixed for that mar
ket. il being claimed that unless it IS
adjusted Chicago will not have any
wheat this season for local mills TO
grind. to say nothing of the milling
trade, which usually draws on that mar
kct for its supplies.
The trade is looking for an increased
export movement in the near future
and it is thought that wheat shipments
will to a large extent fill available ton
mage. In the local cash market No. z
red and No. hard wheat were quoted
at S2.27 and No. Northern Duluth
$3.50 on the government basis.
Corn.-The appearance of heavy rains over
a large part Of the corn belt, with predic-
tions of fros: in Northern Minnesota and ex-
pectations of continued low temperatures,
tended 20 counteract the good impression
made by the government crop estimate
Prices throughout the day were strong, clos
ing &c to -sc net higher. II ~ generally
admitted that the corn crop needs clear warm
weather for bringing it TO maturity. and II
an early frost occurs the final outturn may
be much below the present indicated yield
Another factor in the situation which Is
looked upon rs a strong feature IS the ds-
parity between the price Of corn and the
price of livestock, especially hogs. Inc
smaller number OF farm animals in the coun-
try however, is expected to reduce the feed
ing demand for corn, and this rohs the high
price at which hogs are selling OF some OF us
significance. Old cash corn Is stu strong
and most of the cereal companies which grind
4batr MA mt on gr-
count of their inability to secure sufficient
grain. The fact that stocks will be practi-
cally exhausted when the new crop arrives
portends an active demand for the new corn
A Broomhall cable stated that America VIII
be called upon to furnish large amount OF
corn TO Europe this season. Prices compare

also felt the effect Of the extensive rains in

further delay in marketing the new crop.
The cash demand was only moderately active.

BRlER HOTTER IN TROPICS
English Physicians Experiments Show
Why Change in Climate Affects
Pipe Smokers So Greatly.

1t has long been known that pipe
smokers in the tropics have to aban-
don the brier They usually wonder why
the change of climate should work
such great change in the amount Of
satisfaction to be derived from pipe.
This has been answered by an Eng
fish physician. Or. Gilbert Brooks,
who recently conducted a series of ex-
periments in Singapore. These are his
conclusions:
Moist tobacco gives hotter smoke
than dry tobacco.
Fine tobacco gives markedly hotter
smoke than coarse-cut tobacco.
Smoke from brier is considerably
hotter in the tropics than in cold ell
mates, especially with fne-cut to-
baccos.
Smoke from hrier is always hotter
than breath temperature. although
with a coarse tobacco on a cold win
ter's day the difference in temperature
would hardly be noticeable
Variations in air temperature or In
the type of tobacco used have COM
paratiyely little effect on the Temporal
ture of calabash smeke-the latter al
ways being cooler than the tempera-
ture Of the breath.
Calabash smoke is IA to - degrees
cooler than brier.

WHERE CORNBREAD PERSISTS
Used by Thousands of WeII-to-Do Peo-
pie in South in Cities and Towns
as Well as in Country.

In response TO Champ Clark's adj
vice that there should be greater
use of corn as food, the epicure of
the New York Sun makes this sage
observation concerning eornbread:
1T was we'll thought of in this
country as human food. 30, 40, perhaps
30 years ago. But in an unfortunate
day even poor folks began to neglect
corn. Dressed up as hominy it still
had certain popularity; parents were
willing that their children should eat
1t thus. Treated with baking powder.
salt, plenty of rich cream and butter,
IT was still made into hot bread some
were not ashamed to eat"
This serves chiefly in this part Of
the country to show how little the
South and Southerners are computed
as part Of the country, and how lit
tie they know In New York and other
supposed enlightened centers of what
constitutes good eating, says the Nash
vile (Tenn.) Banner.
II Is assuredly not necessary to use
the past tense when corn as human
food Is spoken of In the South. Corn
bread is used preferably by thousands
of well-to-do people of the South, in
the cities and towns, as we'll as in the
rural districts.
Bob Taylor used to say one essen
tial difference between the South and
North is hot biscuit and cold light
bread The negro cooks in the South
made hot bread for each meal prac-
ticable, while the thrifty housewives
of the North had baking days." when
enough bread was baked for a week.
That was where the difference mainly
lay.
