The afternoon and evening trip 10

The First Convention.
It is far cry from the first TO the
eighth annual convention of the DIS
trict Bankers Association, but not as
far as Tipperary.
Memory, however, holds that first
conventions fresh and green, but WITH
out especially pleasant memories II
one may except the strenuous EFFORTS
Of the new secretary, MIR. II. u.
Thompson, TO secure satisfactory
dining car service.
Deer Park, w. Va. was chosen as
the place for holding the first conVen-
ton The idea met with strong oppo-
Sition on the part of some of the con-
servative element among the bankers
opposed to going out of the city HSeH.
The younger bankers had determined
to carry out the plans, the oihcerS
joined in and the first attempt With
out any milestones TO guide the way
was a big success and its record an
enviable one.
There were three sessions the first
dav-a.m., pm. and g.n.; two day
sessions and a short evening session
the second day and two on the third
day, There were no social functions,
but an attempt at family dinner,
partially successful. Sports were Ia
booed. incidentally it rained al the
time.
Reporting the convention was next
to impossible. No telegraph office, no
talephona connection, save after much
effort and an accommodating operator

NJ. ID. Rosenberg was then presi-
dent, X. n. Harper first vice president
and John Il. Larner second vice.

closed irregular, rs cents net lower
to "a cent advance. corn unchanged

off. and provisions varying from ~
cents decline to an equal gain.
With primary receipts today more
than double those of a week ago, the
wheat market soon began to give
way after an early upturn. The i'm
mediate weakening factor was an
nouncement of liberal sales OF wheat
at Kansas City to be sent to Chicago
as a measure of relief for storage
room at Kansas City. Special notice
was also taken Of word that Wichita,
Kans., had received today 461 car
loads of wheat, the biggest single
DAYS total on record for that market,
and that $50 carloads We're expected
at Wichita Monday. Hutchinson and
other harvest centers in Kansas were
likewise reporting receipts of unusual
magnitude.
Advices telling of rains causing de-
lay to threshing as well as damage
to the quality of wheat had but little
lasting effect toward lifting values in
view of indications of yields both in
Kansas and Oklahoma way above re
cent estimates. Relative tirmness of
Liverpool quotations appeared also to
be virtually ignored, export demand
today for North American wheat be
ing comparatively slow, despite a fore
cast of smaller world shipments.
Cool weather tended somewhat to
rally the corn market. Oats lacked
support, and fell to the lowest level
yet this season.
