COLUMBIA GRAPH0PH0NE

Gimbel Brothers Takes Over En-
tire Grafonola Stock
i'll Baltimore.

BALTIMORE. June 9.-Sale OF its
ontire wholesale stock of $4,000
rrafonolas by the Columbia Graphic
phone manufacturing Company mas
aroused much interest in Baltimore
because of the fact that practicaily
one-third of the total number or ma
chimes sold have been in storage here
for several wears at the plant OF the
Columbia Graphophone Factories Cor
The sale of the machines to Gim-
bel Brothers, Inc, says the Baltimore
American, is the largest sale OF mu-
sical Instruments on record. The
transaction was on cash basis. fhe
amount which the Columbia GRAPHIC
phone manufacturing Company re-
ceived for the machines was not an
nounced. but 1t is understood tnal
they have retail value of S7,5OO,0OO
Since the adjustment in the affairs
Of the Columbia Graphophone Manu-
featuring Company year ago under
the terms of which the company was
given a period of five years TO settle
its debts, aggregating approximately
S21.OO0,000. the corporation has been
greatly handicapped by lack of work :
ing capital. This. it is expected, Will
be supplied by the sale of the ma
chimes. which may also place the
company in position where IL can
resume operations.
Sale of the graphophones is not
expected to have any effect upon the
Columbia Graphophone Factories
Corporation of Maryland other than
to give it more strength through the
improved position of the parent COM
pany. When the company was organ
lied to build the Baltimore plant the
Columbia Graphophone Company
purchased all of the common stock
and took long-term lease on the
plant. The remainder of the funds
were raised through sale of 1,625. 900

DAMAGE TO CROPS
GRAIN NP|T FACTOR
Reports Cause Important
Price Changes During
Week.
Rr the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. June Crop damage re-
ports from Kansas and Oklahoma have
had strengthening effect this week
on prices for the July delivery of
wheat but later deliveries have been
adversely influenced by diminished
optimism regarding the outlook for
settlement of the difficulties between
Germany and France. Compared with
Il week ago. wheat this morning was
at range varying from y decline
TO IS advance. with corn, oats and
provisions showing gains; corn. l to
az; oats, $s to .. and provisions, 2
to 10.
The fact that the wheat harvest was
Just at hand in Oklahoma and soon
would be in Kansas tended TO make
the price of July delivery more re-
SponSive to crop damage there than
was the case with later months, In
which the filling of contracts depends
to a great extent on supplies obtained
in states farther north. On the other
hand general selling of September
and December received a noticeable
impulse after likelihood developed
that the German reparatlons oner
meant additional delay rather than a
quick agreement.
Closing out of spreads between Win
nipeg and Chicago did a good deal in
addition to render irregular the course
of wheat prices here, and, besides. the
wheat market was unsettled by un-
doing of spreads between wheat anQ
other Grain. corn in particular. Some
thing of an offset. however, was the
steadying influence of an official de-
nial that the Department of Agrtcul-
ture had placed limit of l.0OO.oOO
bushels on individual open accounts
i'll future delivery trading.
Corn and oats were buoyart chteny
as a result of rapid depletion OF the
available supply of corn.
Provisions reflected the action OF the
corn market. and the bull1Sh snow :
ing of monthly statistics compared
with a year ago.

Littlest Bear was still sulky. She
wanted to say that she wouldn't come
down. but she didn't dare to. Very
slowly she climbed down.

touch it," she kept saying over and
over to herself as she climbed down.
But when she reached the ground
that little fish was right under her
nose She couldn't help but smell
of it. She was still saying to herself
that she wouldn't touch it. But in
spite of this. she did touch it with
her nose. Appetite was too much for
her. She made just one bite of that
little fish. 1t didn't satisfy her in
the least. 1t merely made her hun
grier than ever for more.
But there were no more. Mother
Bear was through fishing. Il hope
this will be a lesson to YOU" said she
to Littlest Bear, 'and that the next
time you will be obedient." Then
she told the little Bears to follow
her and led the way off through the
