In addition to the physician al
ready mentioned, two of these volun-

lionaire son Of a famous fireman,
and fourth former Commission
er of Public Works Of the city.
DR.. Harry M. Archer, of 72 West
Eighty-second Street, is the "prize
buff" according to the rating Of Fire
Commissioner brennan. DR.. Archer
Is an honorary deputy chief and
medical officer in the Fire Depart
ment. He received a medal for
valor, partly because of his long
and extraordinary service and part
ly because his heroism at the Equita-
bic fire, where he risked his life
at the base Of a swaying wall to
give medical aid to William Giblin,
the banker, who had been pinned
by falling timbers against the huge,

cident or conf1agration."
DR.. Archer is the chief surgeon
Tor one Of the biggest insurance
companies downtown. When on duty
there, giving advice involving, per-
haps, millions of dollars in tho
course Of a year, he is the alert,
quietly efficient and thoroughly busi-
nesslike official Of an important
corporation. But when a second or
third alarm sounds-it should be
explained that bluffs" generally only
respond in the case of fires necessi-
tating more than one alarm-he
quietly puts aside his other work
and becomes a simple fireman, this
being true whether he is in his Of

Finally, among the famous bluffs"
Is Michael Francis Loughman, for

There was nothing but favorable news
to greet the corn trade this morning.
Excellent weather and larger receipts
than expected were on hand
Argentina was still reported as I'M
derselling at the seaboard.
The market opened very weak. with
short selling by the local bear element
Further sharp declines resulted and all
reactions that came were only from shorts
covering and made only temporary eff
feet on values.
Cash showed from TO 7c decline early,
but fairly good shipping demand
changed this to around &c lower finally.
The close was easy, as no disturbing
news was received.
1t is hardly to be expected that mar
ket will make more than temporary re-
coverles without a change in conditions,
but we doubt the wisdom of doing any
selling, now that Is not done on bulges.
The oats market, while having more
merit, could not withstand such a great
weakness In corn values and suffered q
decline.
Cash oats are still considerably over
dollar, and new oats for July ship
ment were at a handsome premium over
September
We do not expect the country to make
any effort to ship new oats at anything
like the bidding prices being made now.
In fact we believe September worth the
money. even II September corn does not
make any startling recovery, and think
a little patience on purchases made on
these declines will meet profits.
