GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago Market

Chicago, July 10.-Decided strength
developed in the corn market TODAY
largely as a result of opinion that tht
government crop report was less bea-
ish than had been generally expected
Besides, foreign advices. were construed
as not so promising as had been hoped
for, regarding a possibility Of peac,
growing out Of the parliamentary crisis
in Berlin.
Pit offerings here. although rather
free at first, were quickly absorbed
Opening prices, which ranged from /
S-S decline to 3-Se advance, with Septem
ber at $1.54 IL to 155 IA and Decem
ber at 1.16 to III were followed by a
sharp upturn all around TO well above

Sept, and 1.2l to 1.21 Ia July.
Oats In Sympathy.
Oats sympathized with the strength
of corn. As a rule traders seemed to
consider that the government crop re,
port had been sufficiently discounted
in advance.
Wheat Is IIstIess
No independence was displayed by
wheat. The market moved upward ow,

otherwise proved listless in the absence
OF definite announcement OF govern.

Der nominal the market reacted a little
and then rose TO 2.O5 July.
Reports Of strenuous opposition TO Ger
tain sections OF the food control bill in
the senate led subsequently to some
thing Of a setback in prices. The clos.
was easy at 1.2 cent to 1c net advance
with July 2.O3 l-2 and September 1.91.
Provisions Are Firm.
Provisions were swayed by the bull

on hogs had only transient depress

MUSIC is NOT A LUXURY
Always Necessity, in War Time IL is
Indispensable.

Toronto Star: I'm time of war every.
one expects to sacrifice a certain
amount of luxury. BY a simple process
OF taxation such sacrifices are automat-
ically systematized for the entire com.
munity. But the question arises: What
Is a luxury. what is a necessity?
1T has been proposed that musical
instruments should be classed as lux.
uries. In other words. music is to be
classed with liquor and tobacco as one
Of those utterly useless frivolities that
every serious and patriotic citizen
should be glad to give up.
What an anomaly! Music, always a
necessity, because in time Of war abso-
lutely Indispensable to a nation. When
the nervous system Of every individual
Is working under constant strain. the
calming, sustaining influence of music
chould be given every opportunity to
make its presence felt. When patriotic
! emotions demand expression and en-
couragement II is music that will sup
ply 1t. When thousands Of people have
to be brought together to one common
purpose, music is the only universal
language, the only oratory that reaches
every heart. Yet some so-called econo.
mists limit the possibilities of music by
placing an embargo on the instruments
that should lead us in singing.
THE musical sense Is one of the high.
est and noblest possessed by man. II is
also one Of the most fundamental, reach
ing down to the earliest stages Of civ
ilization and the lowest orders Of in.
tellgence
Time was when music no matter
how universal its appeal, could be heard
at its best only by the rich, but the last
ten years have changed all this. The
tremendous advance in the manufac-
ture Of all kinds of musical instru-
ments, both Of the old kind to be PLAYED
by hand and of those that reproduce
the work Of great artists, has put the
highest type Of music into every home.
People are learning better every day
the great truth that music is not a
luxury, but necessity.
Here in Canada. where we have a
composite OF classes, races and tradi-
tions, to be welded into a nation and
into an army, we have only one Ian
guage that all can understand, one
means Of expression that is common to
all. Music to create and foster ma
tional spirit and consciousness, music
to stimulate recruiting, music to brace
and inspire those who march TO war
and rush to battle, and, finally, music
to sustain those who have to remain
behind and wait-our need is for music,
and music, and still more music.
Let us do nothing TO discourage the
one most powerful influence in the ere
alton Of real and lasting nationalism. I"

CLEvELAND'S BACKBONE
Preponderance Of Stamina According TO
An Enthusiastic UphoIder.

Worlds Work: In the summer Of
1884 James j Hill had been sizing up
the political situation in his part of
the country. Mr.. Cleveland's name was
in the air. Nobody knew very much
about him. Mr.. Hill went to New York
and talked with Mr.. Tilden whom ne
knew well. They had great esteem for
each other.
What about this man Cleveland?"
was the question Mr.. Hill had to ask.
He is all right" said Mr.. Tilden. "He
is absolutely honest; is not afraid OF
anything"
But has he backbone?"
Backbone! He has so much that it
makes his stomach stick out In front"
