Lorado T aft 10 Lecture for
 Art League Thursday EUening

Lorado Taft, who will be Birming- hams guest and who lectures on French Cathedrals" Thursday night. under the auspices of the Alabama Art league at the Southern club is 8 noted sculptor
 Mir. Taft was a student at Ecole des Deux Arts in Paris for five years. Since 1885 he has lived in Chicago and he is one of the best known of Amer ican sculptors. He Is also a most popular lecturer at the University of Illinois and at the University of Chi cago. He has been giving art lec- lures at the Art institution on Sunday afternoons.
 One of the loveliest of his works is "The Spirit of the Great Lakes, which is in the Art Institute in Chicago.
 Another of his famous groups "The Blind" shows the entire group of pitful figures inspired by Materlinck's play of the same name. The thought

that is expressed in the well-loved saying. And a Little Child Shall Lead Them" is most dramatically portray
 ed in this scuiptored group by Lorado Taft
 The very old blind woman is lean Ing forward on her staff. The very old blind man is on the extreme right of the group. The young blind girl holds aloft the little child. her whole body is strangely young, her beauti- ful hair falls over her shoulders. Six blind men and six blind women, all clad in the sombre garments with heavy folds are all rushing together,
 fearing the coming of the unknown. The young blind girl has at this mo- ment realized-that the child can see, He sees, He sees! He must see something if he cries" The very old blind woman then says, Lift him above us, so that he may see better. And the young blind girl raises him above the group of blind folk The child turns toward the light and points toward the light.
 The original model of "The Blind" Is placed in the gallery in the Public library in Oregon. IL The group,
 itself was really first created there, at the artists summer home, and dur ing the time the artist was at work on the model the artists of the sum mer camp produced the play in the original French.

Wheat, Corn and Oats All ] Went Off, While the Provi-
 Sions Were Unchanged to a Decline

Chicago. June 2s.-Rains and cooler weather preventing crop dam age had bearish effect today on the wheat market and so too did mis- giyings in regard to the German po-. litical crisis. Wheat closed heavy Is to he net lower. with July s1;11H to s111A. and September s1.12A to s1.1s. Corn finished l sse to lhc down, oats off Ac to 1Ac. and provisions at unchanged figures to IT decline

Be- sides with apprehension relieved as to the crop outlook, speculative pres sure to sell showed noticeable fn- crease. and except for & little hesi- tance at the start, the market was on tho downgrade almost constantly throuughout the session. It was a generally accepted opinion that the winter crop was made, and that for lhe present the spring crop could be looked upon as in fine condition. Governmental uncertainties in Ger 'Hany were exploited as bearish be- bause presumably strife resulting you'd more or less check United States export trade in wheat and rye Filth that country and would also knd to interfere with payments for sreadstuffs already bought.

Pyrotechnics Open
 In "Mexican Pete"
By Associared PrA..

New York, June 26.-Last weeks pyrotechnics in Mexican Petroleum were resumed in more spectacular fashion today. the stock establishing q new high record at 204E, an extreme ad- vance of 23N points and asosinx at 1SS, net gain of 1894 joints.
 The further rise of "AIexicnn Pete" followed reports of an un- official character that the author- tiles of the stock exchange had found no Justification for s>cent rumors of a "corner" or improper msnipulation of the stock.
 Shorts again were the chief vfc- tims of the movement, but nc- cording to gossip in exchange circles no small part of today,s gain resulted from buying based on statements of the cOmpamy,s remarkable earnings.
 Shares of the Pan-Amerfcan Petroleum company, which owns Mexican Petroleum also partici- pated in the rise at Eains of aI- most points for the A" and sB'' issues. but other oils showed little change. Transactions in Mexican Petroleum approximated 10000 shares and the turnover in the two Pnn-Ameriean Issues amount cd to 100000 shares.
 Aside from the intermittent strength shown by rails and . few speculative specialties, the stock market reflected the uncer- tain conditions attendant the mid- year tightening of money.

New York. June 26.---t Special )---Con- mission houses were heavy sellers on the opening many stops being caught the decline. The Liverpool market was off on our opening and closed barely steady. Continued liquidation kept coming in. Tt will be an interesting feature to note that the mills bought considerable cot ton. IL is generally expected that heavy July tenders will be in the market tomor- row. Should the July difference drop too far below October, it might cause some doing very well in Texas and Oklahoma. This set back will affect the market for a week or SO and unless the trade enter in large volume can expect to ease further with good weather.--Hubbaro
