CHICAGO NOTES new LOW
FIGURES ON ALL GRAINS

CHICAGO, August 12.-New low fig
ures for the season were made in all
grains today. September wheat and
corn were inclined to be little tight
and both widened their premiums over
December. At the finish wheat was
down Y to N, with September 1.04A
to LOAN and December 1.o3Aa
Corn advanced haA for September and
declined y to IL on late months. Oats
were to y lower. and provisions were
S to 80 of.
Wheat rallied a little from the low
point just before the close, but resting
spots were lower. September shorts
evidently are beginning to recognize the
possibilities of a prolonged rail strike.
and there was covering in the nearby
delivery of both wheat and corn. these
deliveries being relatively strong COM
pared with the remainder Of the list.
Selling of September wheat at a pre-
MUM over the December was attrib-
uted to cash interests. In the main the
strength was regarded as rejecting the
increased scarcity of cars and motive
power, especially the latter. reports
from wheat belt shippers showing no
improvement and none expected for
some time. Further embargo notices
especially those affected by a spreading
of the strike to the Big Four brother
hoods.
Export demand for wheat continued
slow. but traders heard that there is
more business under way than has been
reported from day to day.
General sentiment in coarse grains
remains bearish. although there is
disposition to keep away from the short
side on the breaks. The decline was
due more to lack Of support than to
any aggressive selling.
Provisions were easier in sympathy
with grains and on scattered selling.

LARGE UNTITLED

Lack of Fuel Halts Produc
tion-Fair Export Trade
for Copper.

NEW YORK. August 12.-Steel mills
have large number Of untitled orders
on their books. but production is slow
ing up on account Of the scarcity Of
fuel. The market has been very un-
settled. with an urgent demand for
prompt delivery, but little assurance Of
early shipment. Pig iron is strong and
higher owing to reduced production, and
considerable foreign iron is being i'm
ported. which meets a ready demand.
copper remains on the basis of IA
cents delivered for prompt October
shipment and about " higher for later
shipment. There has been a fair ex-
port trade recently with leading Euro
pean countries. and the export price Of
the Copper Export Association is still a
shade over IA cents. fas. New York.
1t Is said that few second hand dealers
have any metal to offer for nearby ship
ment. Domestic business is Of moder-
ate volume and undertone, but pro-
duction by United States smelters is
said to be slowly but steadily increas-
ing.
Business in tin has been hampered
by the breakdown in cable service and
the market is quiet, especially for
prompt shipment. most Of the demand
being for later months.
Lead was steady with metal scarce
here for prompt delivery. Producers
have been hinde-ed in efforts to in
crease output by labor shortage.
Zinc was easier, although the general
undertone seemed confident. as pro-
ducers say the August output is almost
entirely sold. Demand has been check
ed somewhat by strike conditions.

a Clever Ad.
The Metropolitan National Bank
mas Just turned out a very clever
advertising stunt
A little booklet, What an Estate
represents" relating to estates and
the proper care thereof viewed from
the trust company standpoint, was
accompanied by card. well printed
signed by the autograph signature of
the president of the bank, with the
hnal paragraph reading:
we are sure that your estate rep
resentS SO much to you and to those
who are dependent upon you that
you viii give your will the most
thorough consideration. Perhaps We
can help you"
1t is not SO much the card and
booklet that won attention as the
fact that each person receiving one
of the cards found that it was di
rectly addressed to himself, that his
name was on the card.
Moreover. il was not written in
on the card. nor printed in after the
card had been printed. but each sep
arate card and name was an entity
in itself.
1t was of the fetching kind of ad-
VertiSing.
Bank advertising is worthy of
deep consideration to make it ef-
fective, and it must be of this char
acter or be a waste of money
Ana when one cannot specialize

COAL MARKET IS STRONGER.
Industrial Buying Makes Up for
Domestic Inactivity.

"A strong undertone was maintained
all week throughout the country i'm the
coal market" says the Black Diamond.
Industrial buying was sufficiently ample
to Offset the influence of domestic in
activity and prices displayed an upward
trend. but more distinctly for bituminous
than for anthracite. An enlarged export
inquiry, which embraced South America.
the West Indies, Italy and Greece. served
to leave its impress on Eastern quota
tions.
Anthracite prices were slightly en-
hanced in Eastern markets as a resuIt
OF the reduction in stocks. In New
York about so per cent. of the tonnage
on hand on April 1 is held and a. short
age is not expected for another month
as consumers nave apparently given no
thought TO future supply Bitumlnous
coal has been firm everywhere under a
fairly insistent inquiry from Industrial
purchasers"

Cottage
Started
On Farm


The breaking of ground" for
their first cottage on the home
farm near Corvallis has been an
nounced by the board Of directors
OF the w. G. T. u. children's farm
home for Saturday at 1880 D. m.
at Corvallis, and this marks the
building of the first cottage for
the farm home community for the
dependent children of the state.
Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh an
nounces the ceremony and has
sent invitations throughout the
state inviting people to attend
The ceremony, which means the
beginning of project which has
long been hoped for. This project
mas been spoken of often in Sa-
lem and people have been gen
erous in their support of the pro-
posed farm home community.
The board is very anxious TO
have as many friends as possible
attend the ceremony which means
that the vision Of a "Real home
on real farm" for the homeless
protestant children of the state
is about to be realized.
The w. G. T. U. here has been
active in supporting the home at
all times and a number of the
women will motor to Corvallis
Saturday to participate in the
ceremony.
The cottage will be
built for boys only, and the next
work will be to secure money
enough to build a cottage for girls
since the plea for help is just as
great from them. The need is des-
perate and the home will be com
menced at the earliest possible
date.

Gas Cures Poison Oak.

Motorists who dread to stop by
the> roadside to enjoy their picnic
lunch through fear Of poison Ivy may
be comforted by the recent discovery
by medical scientists that gasoline
Is a sure cure when applied to the
affected parts, the New York Sun de-
clares. Benzine may also be used
with good results.
Poison Ivy infection, the doctors
say, Is no different from any othcr
chemical burn. The poisonous ivy
ell may be dissolved and removed en-
tirely by liberal application OF gas
oline or benzine. The sooner it Is
applied after infection tho better, but
1t is declared to be effective if used
as much as eight hours after irrita-
tion Of the skin develops.
