Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, Ill. April 21.-Wheat: The
market was under less tension this
morning and with the absence of hys-
terra the tendency early was easier.
1t is more fully realized that prices
are Of an exceptionally high basis with
events in the central empires indicat-
ing the possibility of rapid and sem
sational political changes. After the
issuance of the action OF the board of
trade directors in making a marginal
price Of $1.85 for July and $1.65 for
September wheat. the market took a
quick rally on buying by local pit ele-
ment although trade at no time today
could be called heavy.
Corn: The down states reports in
dictate freer country selling of cash
corn while buyers appear less disposed
to take hold. The cash demand here
was only moderate and in futures
there was increased pressure with q
more limited demand.
Oats: Oats were heavy today. I'm
less other grains are strong this mar
ket viii be inclined to drag.
Provisions: The weaker tone to
grains affected the demand for pro-
visions 1t il understood also that the
cash trade is beginning to dwindle,
which would indicate the present level
Is decidedly high enough.

square deal. His word must be

The underlying reason why
some men have become great

BUSINESS CHARACTER

In all business operations in
volving credit, certain requisites
are essential if the risk is to
prove satisfactory to the one
who extends the credit. These
requisites are best expressed in
what has well been termed the
Three Big C's Of Credit" name
Iy, Character, Capacity and Cap
ital. This talk will cover the
first.
In order to possess a business
character, a man need not have
what is ordinarily known as
business honesty, for business
honesty is not as big a thing as
business integrity. Neither need
a man say long prayers, and pass
the, the plate, however admirable
e traits may be. He must

gion he must carry the re-

NO EASY JOB.

Someone has said that the diff
ference between the city and
country newspaper is that the
city paper prints what you don't
know, while the country paper
prints what you do know" says
the San Diego (Cal.) Sun.
While this is true to a certain
extent, the country paper is just
as important in it's field as the
city paper. And we venture to
assert that the country papers
in this country are about the
best of their kind you will find
anywhere.
The country editors job is no
sinecure. If you think it is, try
d day at collecting bashful SUBJ
scriptions speeding up the job
department to turn out be-
lated catalogue, wrestling with
a stubborn local merchant who
refuses to advertise, preaching
the eternal gospel of trade at
home with home merchants,
cussing the city boys who speed
through the town in their red
racers, running down personals
as the 5:15 train pulls in, writ
ing up an editorial on the polit-
ical situation, etc.
And the chances are that in
the end the editorial will be just
about as powerful and just about
as grammatical as the effort Of
the city editorial writer, who
does nothing else.
| Anyway, our hats are off to
the country editors hereabouts.

changes before we look at the

|and Egypt and South Africa and
her West Indian possessions and

All these fair fields were taken
from weaker neighbors, and the
worst that can be said of Prus-
sian Imperialism is that it is a
very good imitation Of a Brit
ish imperialism of which honest
Englishmen are ashamed.
And as for Great Britain's al
", Russia, her history is one
long record of aggression
against weaker neighbors and
confscation of their fields.

time. You do well to inquire
how this element of integrity
lenters into your business life,
for if the banker does not be-
Ieve in you, you can get no loans
from him. You can lose this
priceless asset by a single lapse
from business virtue, and once
it is lost it is hard Shedding to
regain it.
/ A certain bank made large
| sized loan to a builder for a
specific operation, with the un-
derstanding that the funds were
to be used to purchase material
and pay labor for that one job.
1t soon developed that in spite
of the fact that the contractor
claimed to be progressing well
with work, nothing had been
done he had used the money
elsewhere. 1t was a breach of
trust. The banker had checked
him up, as bankers generally do.
He has lost his character in that
bank, and his word no longer
goes.
Another concern was buying
automobiles with the banks
money, giving the bank trust
receipt whereby cars could not
be delivered without obtaining
a release from the bank and
paying On the loan. The banker
became suspicious that some
thing was wrong and checked
up the cars presumed to be in
stock on the trust agreement,
and found that four had been
sold without accounting to the
bank. Result hasty calling
of the entire loan, loss of con-
fidence, loss of a helpful bust
ness arrangement, friendship.
You cannot play fast and loose
in business and win out. You
cannot deceive your banker for
long. He has a knack of finding
things out. Gossip gets to him
fast. He has a second sense that
smells danger. He is a detective.
Therefore, build your busi-
ness structure with character as
the first of three supporting
piorc Ro &c octixzo IN Tho churob
as you like; be as good as you
pretend to be, but remember al
ways, that in business it is not
what you seem to be but what
you are that counts, and your
true nature will soon become
manifest to those who are in
position to find things out and
can help you if they trust you,
but cannot if they don't. A. B.
