good demand for copper continues
from domestic consumers, but practi-
cs.lly all the current output of the
companies is being taken by the gov
eminent. The lead market was inactive
yesterday, with the tone easier because
of the recent reduction in price by the
leading producer. Spelter was dull.

Wheat.-There was no change in the
wheat position yesterday, receipts be-
ing decidedly small at Western points,
whore the movement from the farms
and -four are being exported quite
steadily, however, and the food ad
ninistration is apparently making
strenuous efforts to keep up its sched
ule. The recent rains over the West
were looked upon as highly favorable
for the new crop, which is apparently
getting an unusually fine start and,
with favorable weather conditions dur
ing the remainder Of the season, should
produce an exceptionally large yield.
Reports from foreign countries show
the question Of tonnage makes America
the most available market. as ship
ments are Of necessity small from the
Southern Hemisphere, especially from
Australia, where there are still many
millions Of bushels, representing yields
during the last two seasons.
CONGREGATIONS IN the new en-
tract in corn were Of fairly large vol
ume, but the undertone of the market
was easier and at the close the May
position was unchanged. while June
ana July were : sc TO 5 sc net lower.
1t seemed to be the general impression
that much of the selling was in the
form of hedging against country hold
ings of cash corn and an easier tone
to the cash position gave evidence CT
increased pressure. with a less active
demand. The trade at large was still
more or less at sea as to the probable
future price changes, as operations in
the new contract have not yet de-
veloped sufficiently to give very clear
idea whether or not present prices will
be maintained. The movement at pri-
mary points showed slight increase
over the corresponding day last week.
but the last five days there has been
quite a noticeable falling off and the
increased activity on the farms is be-
ing reflected in a smaller market

Oats.-The oats market was weak

market felt the influence of less ac-

buying freely at present, although a
report from Omaha said that export
sales there for the day had amounted
to about 100000 bushels. The very
favorable crop prospects are apparent
ly having considerable influence on
sentiment and the trade at large has
been disappointed over the action of
prices since the opening of the new
corn contract

SOWING TREE SEED IN SNOW
National Forests Of the Country Are
Planted Each Year to Make
Bare Land Productive.

To keep the national forests Of the
United States, which are scattered
from Alaska to Porto Rico, up to
standard, 10000 to $4,000 acres have
to be reforested or planted each year.
The bare lands must be made produc-
tive and the thin stands of wood must
be improved. To do this requires an
immense amount of labor.
Companies of men travel over these
forests, sowing the seed broadcast over
the snow In the various barren sec.
lions. AS the snow melts the seed
sinks deeper and deeper and when the
snow disappears entirely the seed Is
already covered over with sufficient
dirt to give 1t bed in which to grow.
The chief disadvantage of the meth.
cd, according to a contributor to one
Of the scientific publications, Is that
the seed Is conspicuous on snow and
likely to be eaten by birds. After a
few days of sunshine it soon disap-
pears from view.

charIemaqne Was a German.

According to his friend and secre-
tary, Charlemagne was full-blOoded
German, an Austrasian Frank, with
yellow hair, fair skin and large, keen,
blue eyes. He was unusually tall, but
exceedingly well proportional and
graceful, so that his great height did
not at first strike the observer. His
appearance was always manly and
stately, and his countenance, open and
cheerful, but, when reused to anger,
his eyes blazed with a fire that few
men cared to stand. He was fond Of
all forms of exercise and during most
Of his life was amazingly strong. He
was temperate in eating and drinking.
He spoke Latin as fiuently as his ma
tive German and understood Greek
when 1t was spoken. Late In life he
learned to write, but was never able
to do much more than sign his name.
In his age, however, he was an edu-
Gated man. At table he liked to have
some one read to him and was very
fond Of history. He surrounded him
self with scholars and encouraged edu-
cation. He is classed as one Of the
most remarkable men that ever lived.

ONE OF WORLDS GREAT MEN
Johnny Appleseed, Responsible for
Many Orchards In Wide Range, viii
Not Soon Be Forgotten.

John Chapman's name occupies an
important place in our American his
tory, for he is known as Johnny APP
pleseed, the Apostle of Apple Grow
ing" More than hundred years have
passed since Johnny Appleseed scat
tered apple seeds throughout wide
range of territory from Pennsylvania
to the Mississippi country, and In hu-
mility, yet his name has been immor-
talized, and we of future generations
will be q long time forgetting the name
of this great father of the modern
apple-growing industry, the Christian
Herald states.
Johnny Appleseed was born In
Springfield, Mass, in the year 1775.
eventful in American history in more
ways than one. About the year 1901
he emigrated from Massachusetts,, join
ing those forces starting for the un-
known western country.
In the territory between Massachu.
sets and Ohio, and as far as Indiana,
Mr.. Chapman was a familiar figure.
He foresaw the tide of migration 60
ing to the West, and seeing the need of
