STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

Stocks are cheap in view of their very large earnings. It is very notice able few stocks are offered when the market turns dull which must be con- strued as sign of strength. On any favorable news the public will be ready to come back to the market.
 General commission house opinion is that the next Liberty loan will be fi-
 nanced on a steady market. One lead ing house says: "The government
 wants to encourage cheerfulness and will doubtless arrange for some good
 news at the right time"
 The war finance bill haS passed the senate and the railroad bill has been amended and is ready for passage. The restriction in output of automobiles as outlined by us some time ago has been | the cause of the selling in this group.
 General liquidation is very small. i Tight money and the nearness of the Liberty Loan has checked any diversi-
 fled buying. We are told again to buy

 CHICAGO, March S.-Corn prices eased off a little today owing mainly to correct assumptions that the govern ment report this afternoon would show the largest farm stocks ever known. The market closed steady, unchanged to 1sc lower, with March s1.277s and May S1.27A. Oats declined ss to $ Co F net and provisions 15 to PIC.
 It was not known until after trading had closed that the total reserves of corn on farms, although of record size, fell considerably short of estimates. The report was generally construed as bearish, as no account of stocks in country elevators was given. Bulls were handicapped not only by anticipa- tions of the government report but also by the fact that the weather was ideal for the movement of crop. Selling by commission houses with eastern connections weakened oats de- spite early strength due to scantiness of receipts.
 Provisions lacked support, as ship ments from here were smaller and the hog market on the down grade. Close:
 Corn-May, $1.27$; May, $1.27A. | Oats-March, 91%; May, S91a. Pork-May, s4S.55.
 Lard-May, s26.15; July, s26.32. Ribs-May, S25.17; July, $25.5I.

CHINA LOSING TRADE IN TEA
General Opinion That Scientific Guilt.
walton Of the Plant Has Been
Begun Too Late.

China's tea trade is not keeping pace
with the worlds consumption Of tea.
Scientific cultivation instead of old
time methods and the use of machin-
cry are being used in the effort to
regain the lost commercial ground.
The ministry of agriculture has estab-
lished a model farm, and the first tea
grown on 1t was sent to market this
year. 1t is said to have been Of good
quality, but no details are yet avail
able of the equipment and methods
employed. Foreign tea men seem to
have little faith in the results Of this
attempted reform and consider 1t un-
likely that Chinese teas will ever re-
gain the leading place in the markets
of the world. 1t is said that Chinese
teas have less tannin than other teas,
and that the finer grades are unsur-
passed in delicacy of flavor; but the
average tea drinker seems to find the
teas of India and Ceylon satisfactory.

How Toasts Originated.

The custom of drinking the health
of the most popular man at the table
has its foundation in the ancient prac-
tice originated by the Greeks and
adopted by the Romans Of drinking to
the gods and the dead, observes an
exchange.
The Greeks and Romans later began
the practice Of drinking to each other,
and from this arose the custom of
toasting living men. But health drink
ing in its modern form, originating In
England in the registering days of
Charles II, begins with the custom of
drinking to the ladies or to any wom-
an who happened to be the reigning
belle of the court.
Many and various were the quaint
customs associated with the toasts Of
those days. For example, In certain
companies of military officers etiquette
demanded that the cup should be pass
ed from hand to hand.
In many midnight gatherings Of Alsa-
tia gallants stabbed themselves In or
der to drink with their blood the health
of the woman on whom their hearts
were set.-Kansas City Journal.

HSOME" AS AN ADJECTIVE
Popular American Slang Has Attached
Wealth of Meaning to
the Word.

The American habit Of coming new
meanings for words already known is
closely allied to that of coming words,
writes c. Jefferson Weber In the North
American Review. Take, for example,
the current slang use Of that much
used word "some." What q wealth of
meaning and insinuation the Ameri-
can has invented for the wordl
Some" as an adverb may be heard
in many places. For instance, in the
Teign valley district of Devon, the ma
tives may say, cit did rain yum yes
terday." But the American would use
the word as an adjective and say,
'That was some rain yesterday" This
use is hard to define. In the middle
of the last century "some," meaning
considerable, or notable, was called "a
modern slang word" Today "some'
is almost limitless in it's capacity fol-
application. 1t implies approval, en-.
thusiasm, sarcasm, wonder, admira.
ton, disgust-or amusement.
The seeds may have been sown In
Cornwall. in Devon or in Lancashire
but seriously doubt If native of any
of these counties would ever say en-.
Enthusiastically, "We had some fun last
night" or sarcastically. "This is some
book!" Another word to which Ameri
cans have given a new meaning is the
verb raise" In England, men raise
crops; in America, they also raise chill
dren.

When to Shut Your Eyes.

In an article about Thomas Edison
in the American Magazine, William
Maxwell, the vice president Of the
Edison company, said:
zone bit Of executive strategy that I
learned from Edison has stood me In
good stead dozen times. He had the
wise habit Of knowing when to shut
his eyes. There are times in every
organization when controversies arise
between even the most loyal and best
intentioned subordinates. Sometimes
it is the wisest thing for the man at
the top to know nothing whatever
about them, to let them work them
selves out. 7 learned great many
years ago. said Lincoln, that in a
fight between man and wife, a third
party should never get between the
woman's skillet and the mans AK

Tact and Charm.

Dinner conversation offers the OPP
portunity to eliminate all disagreeable
topics. To lay aside ones worries and
keep ones troubles from obtruding.
The same should be said of all occa-
sions and good form particularly de-
notes that dinners, and formal dinners
at that, should be freed Of personal
burdens retailed.
At all times give interest as well as
try to inspire 1t and one Of the en-
phatic ways Is to let the person who
happens to be speaking have your un-
divided attention. Attention and con-
eentration amount to about the same
thing and should apply to what one is
oneself saying as well as hearing.
