sion of the stock market again were
featured by selling tendencies. Efforts
to continue yesterdays late rally at

taking and resumption of scattered
liquidation, which forced a number
of active shares to new low levels
for the year. Bethlehem and Gulf
States Steels both established new
minimum figures. Subsequent selling
of oil and rubber issues accentuated
the downward trend of the market.
but losses in the more popular shares
were confined to fractions. The clos

with continuation of yesterday

WHY MEN WEAR SILK.
Fred Kelly. in the Nations Business


We hear much about vanity in the
well known feminine sex, but there
seems to be no limit of idiocy to
which men folk will not go in their
effort to extend their personalities, as
the new psychologists might put it,
by means of costly garb. Shirts at
$50 each in certain establishments
have become too commonplace to ele-
vate a single eyebrow. Perhaps the
only reason men do not dress more
gaudily than women is because thew
lack the courage of their desires and
are too vain to admit their own sar-
torial weaknesses.
In Turkish bath recently / got
into conversation with a man wearing
a silk union suit. I always try to
scrape up acquaintance with a man
wearing silk underwear under such
isfying my curiosity. 1t is interest
ing to learn If he is by any chance
truthful. Thus far I have never
found a man who didn't insist that
he wears silk underwear solely be-
cause of it's comfort. The last man
/ asked warmed to his subject and
grew enthusiastic as he explained
how much cooler silk is in summer
than any other fabric.
Aside from the fact that this isn't
true, since silk is not as cool as cot
ton, one might guess after seeing and
chatting with this man just why he
wore silk. He liked the idea of being
clad expensively.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, March 2s.-widespread
storms and predicted lower tempera-
ture led to a general advance in
grain prices today as soon az busi-
ness began. Previous sellers of
wheat turned to the buying side. and
with offerings light the advance
easily ensured. On the upturn of
wheat values. however. selling,
ascribed to the northwest, became
heavier and brought about something
of setback. Wheat opening prices,
which varied from unchanged figures
to 4 cent higher May 1.01 to 1.01A
and July 1.02h to 1.02A, were fol-
lowed by material gains all around
and then by a recession.
Nervousness among corn traders
was apparent, and rapid fluctuations
were the rule. Sudden reversal of
position on the part of bears was a
feature, as in wheat After opening

SPICES HAVE FIGURED
PROMINENTLY IN HISTORY
Alaric the Goth Asked Ransom of
Pepper, Then Worth More

From the New York World.

From the New York World.
The tantalizing flavor and piouant
qualities of spices have made them
sought after from the earliest days
of mankind, and an adjunct to civiii-
zation at all periods.
In the early days of history spices
were worth fabulous sums owing to
the difficulty of obtaining them and
the high cost of transportation.
When A1aric the Goth conquered
Rome in 410 A. D., he asked as a ran
som 5000 pounds of pepper. then
worth more than its weight in gold
The first organization of dealers it
is said, was the fraternity of pep
perers," and it was in the fourteenth
century that the name was changed
10 the guild of grocers," which de-
picted on its coat Of arms six cloves
Venice at it's height traded in spices
to the amount of $1o,000,000 annually,
and it Wed with Portugal in securing
cargoes from far eastern ports. Col
umbus was bound for the spices of
the east when he chanced upon a new
continent and Vasco de Cana, the
famous sea fighter, made one of his
most important voyages to secure a.
cargo of pepper, cinnamon and ginger
from India. ..
The Dutch succeeded the Portuguese
in the supremacy of trade in spices,
later to have It snatched from them
in the sixteenth century by the Eng
lish and Germans.
