NEW CROP DECLINES
IN MARKET FOR CORN
Weather, Price Recessions in
South and Drop in Cash
Article the Factors

Chicago. Aug. 13.-Poorly intrenched
holdings of long corn came on. the mar
ket today, owing to favorable weather
conditions. with needed rains in the
Southwest, recessions in prices there and
decline in the cash article, which
caused further declines in new crop
deliveries. Resting orders to buy were
encountered in the forenoon, but the
demand later was poor.
In the final dealings, however, there
were rallies. September held well, al
though offerings from the country show
cd an increase from Iowa, Nebraska
and Illinois, and there were intimations
that the movement would enlarge
shortly if the railway situation i'm
proved. A bullish construction was
placed in the weekly report of the Price
Current. which made the average crop
condition S3 and the yield G,700, 900 200
bushels.
A European authority estimated the
total surplus of wheat for the current
season at S4S, ,O00, 600 bushels.
Oats maintained firm tone and failed
to reflect the heaviness in corn to any
appreciable extent. There was good
buying by commission houses. while
selling pressure was light. A concern
with southern connections was the prin-
cipal buyer.

"Old .tlnQ LoIc.

The first reference to "old King
Cole" the "merry old SOUL of the IA
nous nursery rhyme. was made in a
book written by DR.. William King, who
was born in 1893. 1t is probable that
the song was composed in the seven
teenth century, although some inveSti-
gators think ii much older. HalliWcll
Identifies the merry monarch with
Cole or COeI a Semi-mythiCal king OF
Britain who Is supposed to have
reigned in the third century. The Scots
also have an "Old King Coul," said
to have lived in the fifth century.
Freeman and other historians say q
King Cole ruled Britain in the sixth
century. There are many who assert
that the reference to the pipe indicates
that Old King Cole lived ut q period
after Raleigh had introduced tobacco
into Europe, but this does not neces-
sarily follow, as ii pipe might meth a

"ANTIQUES" FROM NEW YORK
Example Of How the Tourist Is Vic.
timized When He Makes Pur-
chases in Foreign Cities.

Some years before the war a resi-
dent of New York voyaged to Venice.
Among his fellow passengers at sea
was a travelling salesman, whom he
got to know quite well. What the
New York man liked about the sales
man was that he did not talk shop
He had not even told his steamship
acquaintance what manner of goods
he handled.
The day after they arrived In Venice
the salesman went out on business, his
steamship companion sightseeing.
Among other places the latter visited
was d fascinating antiquarian shop
Prices were steep, but what of that!
He wanted something to take back
to show 1.-THE folks at home that he
had really been in Venice. Finally he
settled on a bit of Venetian glass,
square Of gold-embroidered Venetian
cut velvet in furnished gilt frame
and silver-handled dagger engraved
with the arms of one of the dogeS' IN
the evening at the hotel he displayed
them, not without feeling OF prlde'
to the travelling salesman.

been very decent to me, ana now II

Silly Idea Rebuked.

breakfast beautiful Dresden tea
cup was broken.
"Ah,' cried the countess, "a diSas

be broken. 1t always happens So"
"Are you so superstitious," asked
the count, cas- really to believe tha
two more will be brokeuf"

'Thcn let us get il off our minds"
And taking two of the cups by thu
handles he dashed them together.
The anger and dismay of the count
eSs proved conClusvely that she haf

II also loosed any hold the absurd idea
may have had on the minds of the
children.
