READING IS FIRM;
MARKET IS ACTIVE

NEW YORK, February 15.-The two
leading features in today's bond mar
ket were the news that negotiations
for Chilean loan had at last been sue
cessful and the sharp run-up in Read
ing general mortgage bonds follow
ing the publication Of the segregation
plan. The Chile bonds will be offered
tomorrow. They will be brought out
slightly under par to the amount of
$24.000.oo0, will run twenty years and
bear interest at the rate of 8 per
cent. This is the first time that Chile
has appeared as borrower in the
American market. Upon the success
Of this undertaking depends, in all
probability, the result of similar ne
gotiations for a Brazilian and an Ar
gentine loan.

CHICAGO, February 15.-weakness
developed in the wheat market today
owing largely to disposition on the
part of buyers to go slow in the alb
character. It was contended that re-
cont sharp advances had discounted
known conditions for at least the
time being. Some hedging sales of
the March delivery were noted. Open
ing prices. which varied from un-
changed figures to-. Il lower, with
March 1.69% to Ito and May 1.5Sk
to 1.59. were followed by a slight
rally. but then by downturns all
around.
Later corn quickly advanced when
wheat went upgrade. The close was
strong 2A to 2S net higher. with
May. 72% to 72%.
Subsequently fresh attention was
given to the wheat crop outlook. espe-
cially as viewed by field experts rep
resenting big firms here. Sharp
turns followed. Green bugs were re-
ported in Kansas, and. actual damage
from them in Texas. The market
closed strong Az to 6A net higher,
with March. LIS to 1.75A, and May,
1.65 to 1.65A.

Many lin Smart Set Reap Rich Harvest From

what fallen fortunes by introducing
the war made millionaires to their
select" friends.
The old timers will recall the
days following the Civil War when
the new socially powerful Enos,
Fahnestocks. Mackays. Adamses,
etc. were looked upon as social
climbers. The Enos and the
Fahnestocks secured the services
Of several members Of the Knick-
erbocker set and were Intro
duced" by them to society. Nat
urally they paid and paid well the
poor but socially important Knick-
erbockers who secured for them q
footing on the social ladder.
Now, after the World War, we
have condition similar to that
which existed following the war Of
the rebellion. New York is over
run with social climbers. Some
are more ambitious than others.
A certain few aspire to the apex of
the social ladder, while others are
more modest In their desires and
will be content with meeting the
outer crust of the social world.
The social climbers Of the Civil
War days are now firmly estab
lished and they look askance at
the present-day newcomers"
But who can tell. Perhaps seven
ty-five years from now, after the
next war, the social climbers Of
today will frown upon the social
ambitions Of future time.
However, to continue. certain
much advertised members of the
smart set have been reaplng a

body In Washington called up to
ask for invitations and We had to
turn "em down" And. for all
that there were fully 5000 guests
present. there were . good many
persons disappointed in not having
this chance to meet the visitors
from overseas.
The trouble II that Washington
society 10 growing 20 fast that It
II now impossible to entertain
svsrybody together - used to Be
done In the good old days. And
everybody wants particularly to
be present when there are lions to
b feted. No one seems to have
any hesitation In asleing for invi-
tations to such an event ~ the
reception on Monday evening
an impsrsonal sort Of hospitality
although the Secretary Of State and
Mrs. Hughes were hosts and I'm
told there were actually moro re-
quests for cards this time than
there were when the Prince Of
Wales was entertained in Washing
ton.
I SHOULD think. however. that
one would rather hesitate to ask
for an invitation even for . visitor
from out Of town to any one OF
the series Of parties being given at
the embassies and legations for
their respective delesations-especi.
ally since everyone must realize
the number Of persons connected
with the conference in one way or
another who needs must be in
cludsd At any such official func-
lions. And yet-well. the wife OF
one diplomatic hostess told me that
for three days her telephone had
scarcely stopped ringing and that
apparently everybody on her visit
ing list wanted to bring a guest
to the reception. 1t aggravated a
situation which was already
troubling her--the present size OF
the official world. the number OF
foreign visitors whom she wished
to include and the fact that there
are limits to the sixe of her house
preventing her from inviting some
Of her own close friends.
Mme. Jusserand. wife of the
French ambassador. proposes to
solve her problem Of the RELATIVELY
of people and space by dividing up
her visiting list among several big
parties. Some Of the official folk
tho Cabinet and the diplomats and
a few others-shs will want 70
include each time. But she invited
some of the lesser luminaries Of the
official world and some of her PSF
sonai friends--T'm told that's baA
English. but It defines = difference
between personal and official rsaar
