corresponding week last year Crop
accounts were again very favorable,
especially from the three leading
spring wheat states, where yields are
SAID to be exceptionally heavy.
Thrashing operations in the winter
"heat belt are progressing rapidly,
and 1T will not be a surprise to the
trade II the next government report,
due on August 8, shows a winter
wheat crop in excess of the July es-
innate, which was 557 .OOO, 900 bushels.
Corn A further falling off in the
receipts OF corn al the primary points
served to turn the trend of values in
the corn market upward during yes
terday's operations. Shorts were good
buyers, and at the close of the dav
values were 1& to cents above the
hnal Of Monday. Receipts at all in
terror points were 554 900 bushels.
compared with 963,O0 last week and
$4,000 last year. There was less talk
about the probability of increased
tenders on contracts, and cash mar
kets IN the West were distinctly
hrmer, with gains of to 5 cents a
bushel. 1t was said that Omaha houses
were buying in Chicago, and this was
believed to show that large sales had
been made there of cash corn. The
weather map showed lower tempera-
lures throughout the greater part of
the belt, and showers and rains were
reported throughout the Ohio River
district and in some of the Eastern
States

An order to prevent any more acci-

past to spin back these steel pointed

TO have the javelin carried back by the

Metals

Demand for copper is said to be in
creasing, not only from the government
for war use, but from consumers who
require red metal in manufacturing
products for ordinary use and, it was
stated yesterday, "otficials of some of
the copper producing companies say
there is possibility of a small increase
in production during August, as a result
of the efforts that Will be made to get
more of the metal available" The
scarcity of lead is attributed largely to
United States government require
ments, while Japan is understood to be
in the market for a large amount The
price is firm, but has not advanced. al
though the metal is in such demand
The speltcr situation is unchanged
The market is very dull.

HozU the Modern
Grandmother Is
Badly Maligned

Mrs Widdimore is the romantic, sill
ver-haired grandmother of "Thc Gypsy
Trail,' with a grandson who is sup
posed to be the pride Of the Cleveland
business world.
In the first act Ned, determined to
kidpap his lady love in accordance
with all convention, promises to pro-
vide chaperone. SO he turns to the
telephone and rings up long-sufcring
grandmother.
Ned~-Prospcct 3o72, please.
Hello. Is Mrs. Widdimore there ?
In bed? At this hour? Yes, Kate, this
is Mr.. Edward. Wake her up.
Wait a minute, can't hear you. Hello,
grandma, this is Edward / want you
to come right out to the Breakers and
spend the night. Oh, yes, YOU
can. Well, you can get
dressed. PLEASE, grandma
although complaisant Mrs. Widdi-
more may protest a bit at her grand
sons ighhandedness, it is more than
evident that he is quite ruthless in his
dominance. In the second act he enters,
carefully escorting herr
Ned-Now, you see, grandma, it
wasn't such a bad trip, after all Here
we are and everything is all right.
Mrs. Widdimore-Everyt is not
all right. The trip was frightful. You
skidded four times, and Pm chilled to
the marrow.
Ned (soothingly)-Thcrc, there,
grandma. Now just few more steps
to that nice easy chair.
Mrs. Widdimorc-Don't clutch my
arm! Pm not an invalid. Go away!
(Of course, Ned's lack of consdera-
ton is wholly unmeant. Nevertheless,
one cannot blame his grandmother for
becoming eventually angry especially
in the whimsical passage wherein Ned
rhapsodizes over the romantic tenden-
cies of the girl he loves.)
Ned-She is, too, romantic. Why,
grandma, she wants to be kidnapped-
by some man.
Mrs. Widdimore (tranquilly)-Of
course she does.
Ncd-Of course?
Mrs. Widdimore-Every girl wants
to be kidnapped some time in her life.
l wanted to be Kidnapped
Ned (aghast)-You, grandma?
Mrs. Widdimore--Don't cape at me.
Edward. | wasn't born with spectacles
and white hair! | was a hcadstronp
girl once, and-I can say it nova
very lovely girl. I longed to be kid
mapped.
(However, Ned refuses to become
enthralled by fifty-year-old bit of ro-
nance exhumed from lavender.)
