NEW YORK-Money on call, both

per cent for lending and renewing.
Time money was as dull as heretofore
and rates were nominally unchanged at

In view OF the fact that there are
not enough prime New York ninety-day

local demand and that primo QUIT town
bills are in fairly free supply but are
being absorbed more slowly, the impress
sion prevails that unless the situation
Is changed the out-of-town bills should
be offered at a more attractive figure.
Many OF those out-of-town bills rank
fully as high as the New York bills, but
are at the disadvantage of being out of
town. Rates are unchanged, with prime

GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, Aug 16. - Wheat was
weaker today, owing to a disappointing
export situation and lack of outside
support.
The foreign political situation, how
ever, was anything but reassuring and
prospects for the yield of the spring crop
were less favorable. This helped to
lots came on the market quite persist
emily. Hedging sales also were in evil
dence. There was some buying by q
leading elevator concern.
While the movement was not large,
the country was offering more freely,
and adviCes from both Great Britain
and France said that native grain was
beginning to come forward and was sup
plying the demand. Domestic cash prices
were weaker. 1t was said that export
bids were about g cents under the mar
ket. .,
Corn was also weak. Houses with
eastern connections sold and it was
thought that there also was selling for
elevator interests. There was some
local buying on a bullish report by the
Illinois Department Of Agriculture,
which steadied the market for time
after the start.
Good rains were noted In portions OF
the central belt, but more moisture Is
needed in some sections. The lateness
of the crop, nevertheless, leaves room
for fresh damage.
The cash article was lower, the de-
mand being small. This counteracted
light receipts. Scarcity of cars Is still
checking the movement. Elevators In
the country are reported to be well
filled.
Oats lost ground in sympathy with
corn and on heavy receipts and abun-
dant supplies from the crop. both In
this country and Canada. There we're
hedging sales and liquidation of long

 If a prophet had told Jubilo that he'd inherit a fortune or be crowned a king of Jijii Island he might have believed him. But if anybody had told him that some day he would go to- work and fall in love, we'll, Jubilo would fall into a panic.
 Jubilo is a highly respectable hobo, and what member of his cult, no mat ter how lowly, would admit suscepti- bility to the despised instincts of work and love. But it does happen and Jubilo actually does fall in love and as a result really does go to work and finds himself plunged into a whirl- wind of adventure which started with
