Wheat-W lille the crop news has none
Of 1t been radical, 1t was noticeable that
previous complaints from Oklahoma were
confirmed by good people and that claims
OF retr0gresslon were coming from a
wider territory. This was offset by the
lack Of export trade and by a generally
slow cash market The general tenor
of the crop complaints is to be discov-
cred in a statement made by the Kan
sas Bureau Of Crop Estimates towit ::
Present conditions arouse no enthusl-
asm. Crop lacks strength and vigOr."
We again refer - the extremely small
accumuiations at western terminal mar
kets. Out of the entire visible supply
there are only 5,500, 00U bushels outside
of seabOard ports. In the milling CEN
tiers, the largest stock is in Minneapolis.
but 1t is only 2,0S9,U00 bushels. All other
centers, namely Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha, St. Louis, Toledo and Buffalo,
range from $4,000 IN Kansas City to
Co. 900 in st. Louis. Even though 1t is
true that cash wheat is losing its
premium, it is still selling anywhere from
% to 40 cents over the July price. 1t
occurs to us that with supplies at west
ern terminals well nigh exhausted, and
current receipts selling at fancy
premiums, there will be an excellent de-
mand for all new wheat offered The
cash position should continue TO fur
nish a foundation for the entire mar
ket, with the trend of prices for a time
to be discovered In the character Of the
crop news.
Corn and Oats-Practically all advices
are unanimous in claiming large reserves
of corn still in first hands. 1t is COM
monty accepted that the movement Of
corn and oats to commercial centers
should slowly increase, reaching fairly
good proportions when spring work is
completed. Some unfaVorable reports on
oats are coming from central Illinois
These are to the effect that the growth
has been considerably delayed by wet,
cold weather. We expect the markets to
be simply a reflection of the wheat ac-
ton.
Observation-Disclosures sales from smaller
packers came into the provision market
which lacked support. Trade was lin
tied but tone heavy. The Government re-
port on hogs shows smaller losses
through the winter thanfa year ago and

The game Immediately gained
popularity. The Brighton Polo club
was organized at Long Branch, an
other fashionable summer place. The
late H.. L. Herbert, until his death a
few months ago, the president of the
Polo Association Of America, was one
of the founders Of this organization.

ter. Meadow Brook. Rockaway, Essex
county, Morris county and the Coun-
try club Of Westchester formed the
Polo association. Buffalo did not join
until five years later.
Action of the Westchester club in
1885 in offering a trophy for interna-
ticnal competition greatly stimulated
interest In the game. The handicap
lists for 1921 included players of 80
registered clubs of the association,
situated from coast to coast, with the
Hawaii Polo and Racing club OF
Honolulu and the Manila Polo club
also active members.
Polo is now played at every army
station in which cavalry officers are
located and the Army Polo ~associa-
ton at Washington. d. c.. has ap-
proximately 900 officers. In England,
even more than in the United States
is. the game an established sport for
army officers, as is evidenced BY the
fact that three members Of the Brit
ish team, recently announced, are
army officers.

Polo Was Played
Before Columbus
Reached America

New York, June 14.-Although this
International polo matches between
the United States and English teams,
which. are resumed in England this
week. began In 1856, the game Of
polo was played before Columbus dis.
covered America.
The game was introduced in the
United States in 1876 but the sport
is centuries old. It originated in
Persia, and was played in China and
India long before cavalry officers,
g~arrisoned in India, brought the sport
to England and made it the sport
of kings
Largely because Of the excellent
training in horsemanship which polo
affords, 1t has been fostered by gov
eminent and army oficials. At the
close Of the recent val, Sir Douglas
Haig conferred upon the sport =
Citation" declaring 1t to be the mos,
efficient training for army officers yet
devised. During and since the war,
the game has been encouraged amonA
American army officers.
According to tradition, polo had its
origin in the court of a Persian king.
1t, is said to have been invented by
court physician for the purpose of
providing physical exercise for his
sovereign and members of the retinue.
About 600 A. d., .shadowy legends
have 1t that the Tartars who overran
Asia at that period. carried the game
to China. From Chinese archives, it
appears that a. early ,As ISL A. D.,
there was a school for the training of
polo ponies. 1t was shortly after this
period that the ~wanderinga Of the
Asiatict peoples took the game to In
dia, whence 1t has come down to
England and America.
When James Gordon Bennett
brought mallets, Jerseys and balls to
this country in 1875, he and several
associates gave the game it's first try
out at Dickels' Riding Academy, t~
located at seth street and Fifth ave-
nue., New York. Soon, the players
formed the Westchester Polo club,
with grounds at Fordham. When the
fashionable New York set moved to
Newport, r. I. in the summer of
