Theat-SeveraJ private estimates OF
the wheat crop ara unanimous in show
Ing considerable deterioration during the
last month. Reports from the leading
expert shows drop In conditions of 8
points. The facc that all experts agree
that the crop is going backward is Of
great Importance 1t is also of i'm
portance to remember that determination
is being uncovered in widening terri
tory 1t is fair to assume that the sec
ton east of the Mississippi River will be
found to be in same condition as the
southwest. This assumption is based
upon the theory that the three periods Of
freezing temperatures, experienced In
early spring growth, have weakened vi
tality of the plant. The market situation
may be summed up in the abatement
large holders of the July delivery, against
which there has been practically no
hedging OF the new crop. 1t is not red-
scnable to expect that farmers and coun-
try dealers will sell the new crop freely
at the great discount now represented In
the July price 1t is, Of course, too early
for reliable estimates Of the spring wheat
yield, but we wish TO say that the es-
Inmates received today are not as large
as had been expected. We believe the
underlying situation to be particularly
strong and staDle, and that higher prices
will result, even If there be no further
retrogression of the crop.
Corn and oats-Apparently the domes-
tic consumer and distributor of coarse
grains ia impressed by the strength in
the wheat situation, as there was very
sharp demand for tie liberal receipts OF
corn. The material reduction in visible
supply OF corn is now receiving consid-
cradle comment. 1t Is believed that the
present movement of corn from the cbun-
try will be the last Of any importance
until the new crop is assured. We feel
that these markets offer opportunities TO
the conservative investor.
Provisions-There is no revival Of in
terest In the list. Investment demand is
held in check by slow foreign outlet and
expectation Of Increase In local accumula-
lions.

PARIS, June All Paris was
touched a month ago by the story of two
young girls whose parents had been
killed by the war and who, having lost
their employment in a factory through
illness, sprang together, one Sunday aft
ernoon in the River Seine, but were res
cued.
A newspaper opened a subscription for
them which is said to have reached
10000.
The statement is now made in the
Eclair that the girls are excellent swim
mers who have played the same trick on
the generous public in several provincial
towns

Bootleg Whisky Has
Petrifying Effect

sUTHERLIN, Ore, June MANY
years ago w. E. st. John, president of
the Oregon Growers Cooperative Asso-
citation, placed a Spitzenberg apple in a
jar and covered it with liquid mixture
intended to preserve 1t for exhibition
purposes. Recently he removed the ap-
pie and found it to be stone-petrified,
even to a portion of the stem.
st. John does not recall the formula
used in preserving the fruit, but is in
clined to believe the mixture was very
similar to that now being used by
bootleggers in the manufacture of their
product.

Some disappointment was expressed in

It is generally conceded that the con-
