Chicago Produce Market

1nlCdSO, June y.
Generous rainfalls that for the pres
ent did away with dry weather as a
market factor brought about declines
IN wheat prices today, tho decidedly
bullish character OF the government
crop report this afternoon being UNI
IofeSeen. Wheat closed steady, &c TO
&c net lower, July 1.O44 and September
l.0os to 1.05a, with coin showing to
&C advance, oats unchanged to to &c
ON. and provisions varying from the
same S Saturdays finish to 5d7c
down.
1t was generally expected that the
government crop report as to wheat
would prove somewhat bullish and this
circumstance helped to keep the wheat
market from any sharper setback as
SIDES or the Canadian line. Business
throughout the day was largely in the
nature of evening-up to prepare for
the government figures, but nothing de-
fsloped beforehand to indicate that the
official forecast would show such a rad
ical curtailment of the estimated pro
duction as turned out to be the case
When the report reached Chicago after
the board of trade session had ended.
Some export inquiry for wheat to be
Shipped by the way of the Gulf of
Mexico was in evidence, but otherwise
the demand from Europe was slow on
account Of the Whitsuntide holiday
abroad. Announcement of S,196, 600
bushels decrease in the United States
visible supply was without much ap-
supply being still about 5000. 900 bush
els more than last year.
Unseasonal cold weather that ham,
pered planting and interfered with
growth was responsible for the price
steadied the oats market.
Provisions were easier, Influenced by
packers selling of lard.

thrifty man should spend so per
cent OF his income for living ex-
penses; 10 per cent for education;
10 per cent for giving: 10 per cent
Tor recreation and save 20 per
cent. The Treasury Department
has stated that a family of three
with $4,000 income should save
5000; a family Of four with $4,000
income should save $500; a family
OF four with $4,000 income should
save $500: a family Of four with
$500 income should save $1,400,
and family of five with $4,000
income should save $2,400.
These. figures were undoubtedly
arrived at after a close study OF
the personal economics Of many
families and are meant to cover
average conditions.
While 1t may be true that the
average man in America should
save 20 per cent OF his personal
income it dos not follow by any
means that man who under Ger.
tain circumstances only saves 10
per cent or even per cent of his
income is not just as thrifty as
some other man who might save
so per cent of his income.
There are rightful duties and
obligations that must be met. and
their fulfillment might preclude
the saving Of any considerable sum
OF money. On the other hand, a
man might be so situated that even
il he did lay aside 20 per cent of
his income he would still be in
dulging in wasteful habits.
Thrift is a matter of morals as
well as Of money. 1t is self disci-
pine; strength Of character; eff.
ficiency and com nonsense ad-
ministration of ones affairs.
Save Systematically as much as
you can consistent with your cir
cumstances in life. Be economical.
but not misery. Eliminate all pos.
sible waste.
If one will endeavor honestly to
adhere to these practices he will
be able to save what is consistent
and right and within the meaning
Of true thrift.
