The Utility of Paint.

Do not forget that paint on the
motor, car is not wholly for looks.
Paint protects the surface below IL
from the effects of moisture or mud.
And this is true whether the surface
be metal or wood. For instance the
wooden wheel will
quickly go to pieces IL II is not con-
served by a coat of paint. And
so, by the same token will the wire
wheel II it is not similarly pre-
served. Do not let the paint work
about the car fake of and permit
the elements to work their way into
the material underneath.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago. Aug. 30.-Wheat slid
downward in price today largely as
a result of the slowness of export
demand. Closing quotations were
heavy, rs to 4c net lower, with
December $3.50 and March $2.29
Corn finished II to &C down. oats
off Is to nc and provisions at a
setback Of to SIS cents.
Talk was current in the wheat
pit that foreign governments were
having some difficulty in financing
their purchase of grain. On the
other hand liberal sales to Italy
last week were confirmed and also
considerable business with other
transatlantic countries. Bearish
crop estimates from Canada and
from Oregon, Washington and
Idaho attracted some attention.
In the corn market, larger re-
ceipts together with prospects of
q continued free movement did
much to weaken values. Oats held
relatively firm, but yielded some-
what when notice was posted of
big increase Of the visible supply
total.
Provisions advanced with hogs
and then reacted owing to packers
selling of lard.
