Boston Wool Market

BOSTON, Feb. 8.-The wool market
has passed through another dull week,
although there was heavy trading, ac-
cording to "The Commercial Bulletin" !"
Prices were firm on all good wools, but
short secured Capes were easier. The
manufacturers are finding very good
call for civilian cloth, although the
government is not exhibiting any great
keenness to place new orders as yet.

Cereals

Wheat.-The movement was moder-
ate, and while the car situation is i'm
proving preference is given to corn.
The outlook for the new crop is con-
sidcred favorable, owing to the un-
usually extensive snow covering
throughout the winter. "The Modern
Miller" said that the condition of the
crop in the Southwest is about normal
and if any change has occurred it is
for the better.
COrn.-Reports that the food admin
stration had given full priority to the
movement of grain and grain products
caused an easier feeling in the corn
market, prices closing with a net loss
of sc. The market was also more or
less disturbed by a report from Chi
cago that the food administration will
take control of all coarse grains used
in the manufacture of substitutes for
wheat flour. The trade here was con-
sderably puzzled over this report, as
ii was the general understanding that
the food administration has no author
ity at the present time to fix the prices
OH coarse grains and that such action
would require special legislation. The
movement at primary points was larger
and with the milder weather and the
efforts on the part Of the food admin
istration to rush corn to market II lib
oral movement is to be expected.
Cash prices have not been seriously
affected so far. High grade corn is
still scarce and in urgent demand from
the mills. Eastern cash demand for
corn is quiet and there have been few
evidences of export business. Ship
ments for the week were of fair pro-
portions.

Butler Says That He
Will Keep Coal Yard
Open in Spite Of Quiz

City Commissioner Dan Butler,
president and general manager" of
the municipal coal yard, is back
after several days out of the city.
He says his coal is good in spite of
the reflections that other city COM
nissioners have been casting upon
it and ordering the city chemist to
analyze it and find out its heating
power and all that.
"The state has given the city
power to operate a coal yard and
We'll operate it," he says. "I'm
willing to sell coal to Wattles if
he wants it. The coal is for every
body and l know it's worth the
money because | only have a mar
gin Of 40 cents profit on each ton
after paying cost at the mine,
freight, carriage, shrinkage and so
on.
IF the other city commissioners
want the job of running the coal
yard they are welcome to it. There's
lot of grief connected with it,"
Commissioner IRE says the other
city commissioners don't want to
take Buffers job OF running it.
Mayor Smith isasaid to be wob-
bling over into being a champion
OF the municipal coal yard.

British Labor Gets :
Behind Wilson for
German Surrender

London, Oct. 2l.-(British Wire
less Service)-In the situation Gre
ated by the recent German peace
offer. British labor ranges itself SOL
idly behind President Wilson, de-
clared Arthur Henderson, the Brit
ish labor leader, in a speech at a
labor meeting Saturday night. Labor
men should continue to support
President Wilson because his peace
program embodied the war aims of
organized labor, he declared.
1t had become increasingly clear.
Mr.. Henderson said, that uncondi-
tional surrender on the part of the
rulers of Germany was necessary in
order that the vital interests of the
German people themselves could be
safeguarded.

Soup Eating Lost Art.

Owing to the high cost of ingredi-
ents soup eating may become a lost
art. America today holds the medal
for spectacular and musical soup eat
ing. There is no nation SO accom-
plished in the art of eating soup audi
bly, as ours. No race of people extant
can eat soup and keep up steady con-
versation (Without stopping it on it's
shirt bOsOm) as successfully as the
American. A foreign writer once re-
marked that he dearly loved to hear
an American eat soup. Some nations
drink their broth and bouillOn in 81
lence or sop it up noiselessly with
bread, thus robbing the process of all
it's interest. But America blows it's
broth cool, then unsteady sucks it
from the spoon, allowing it to hit the
base of the empty stomach with the
chug of a pile driver. The way some
of us strain soup through our mus
taches is decidedly artistic. But, like
many of the lost arts of our aborigines,
the doom of soup eating is in sight

MEANING OF JACOBITE TOAST
Glasses Raised to "the Little GantEe-
man in Velvet" Had a Peculiar
Significance Centuries Ago.

E'To the little gentleman in velvet"
was a favorite Jacobite toast in the
reign of Queen Anne. By ''the little
gentleman in velvet" the JacObites
meant the mole that raised the hum
mock against which the horse of King
William III Civilian of Orange)
stumbled while riding III Hampton
court. The king was thrown heavily
to the ground. breaking his collar bone,
A severe illness ensued under which
the kings feeble constitution gave
way, and he died early in the year
1902. He left no children and the
crown passed to Anne, q sister Of Will
liam's deceased wife, Queen Mary, and
a daughter of the deposed king, James
II. 1t was the plan of the Jacobites
to bring back to the throne James the
Pretender, a son, it was claimed, Of
James II by his second wife, Mary of
MOdena. The execution of their plans
was not attempted until the house OF
Hanover came to the throne. The at
tempt of the Pretender James in 1715
was q miserable failure, but the at
tempt of his son, Prince Charlie, in
1745, was a more formidable affair. He
collected a considerable force in Scot
land invaded England and reached
Derby before compelled to retreat. He
was finally defeated at Culloden.
