"DONT QUOTE
ME"
BY United Press

WASHINGTON, May 2l-Maybe
if it had been a donkey the White
House would not have been so firm
But a camel-no stree. Nothing
doing After all you have to draw
the line somewhere.
A good many strange things
come to the White House in the
course of a year-wild and wooley
congressman from the west, for
eign pOtentates in strange costume,
and almost every kind of request.
But oldest attaches racked their
memories and said never before
had any citizen asked the White
House for permission to ride a
camel up to the White House steps.
Robert Smith, local attorney, is
the man who had the camel idea.
He thought it would be a fine
stunt for the Shrine convention
here next month. It's all off, how
ever, because the White House de-
cided it wouldn't have any camels
cavorting around in the front yard.
Smith is welcome to come UP to the
executive mansion but he'll have 70
leave his camel parked on Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
The famous technique of Charles
S. SchWab, which won him the title
of No. l steel salesman of the
world, has not deterioTated with
the years.
Schwab demonstrated that when
he appeared here as a witness for
Andrew w. Mellon in the income
tax case. He beamed and smiled
and discussed his philosophy of OPP
timism when government counsel
tried to get hi INTO quote facts and
figures.
Then he wound up by delaying
proceedings 10 minutes when his
testimony was over. The delay was
! caused when Schwab insisted on
shaking hands with almost every
one present.
He started with Ernest Van Fos-
sen, presiding member of the board
of tax appeals, went on to greet
two associate board members,
shook hands with everyone at the
Mellon counsel table, crossed over
and repeated the performance at
the government table.
Finally, as spectators chuckled
he went into the audience and
proceeded to shake hands with a
score of friends, pumping each
hand vigorously and speaking
+ cordial word to all.
The capital has been doing pret-
/ ty we'll as a result of repeal of pro-
hibition. Receipts from taxes and
! license fees for the first three
months of this year are reported
at S926,O00 Receipts would be
even higher, the liquor board re-
( ported, but for the bootleggers.
/ The principal for moi bootleg
| ging here was said by the board to
be the shipping of liquor to North
Carolina and Georgia, both states
| still legally dry.

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY III. y, McGuL.

Editor. McGiu Commodity Service, Inc.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, August 10
P).-Commodity prices during the
first nine days of August registered a
further increase establishing the Level
at the highest point for the year The
latest figure is 752 1925 equaling
iGoD as against 7o8 at the beginning
of the year and 665 a year ago
The recent upswing, however, was
Que primarily to one outstanding
group, namely. livestock.
The full effect Of the acute 1884
drought is now being reflected in linn
tied market receipts of hogs and cat
tie and a tremendous Shrinkage in
provisions. The latest index figure
for live stock stands at ola against
Cos at the beginning of the year. and
only 482 at this time last year.
The majority of all other groups
moved downward as a check-up on
IA individual claSsifications shows
that eight groups rule lower, three re-
main unchanged and three advanced

Industrial prices were substantially
lower for the week. the level now be-
ing comparable with the low point
reached in early April. Industrial
activity has shown no disposition to
decline further and there are now
signs that the seasonal low ebb will
be reached somewhat earlier than
usual.
Agricultural prices also declined
during the closing days of the past
week. The reaction was general as
only three items advanced-butter,
eggs and corn-while lower quota
tons were recorded for wheat. oats
barley. rye, cotton, beans. potatoes
and f1axseed, as compared with week
ago.
Fuel prices have moved downward
largely due to the composite price Of
bituminous coal.
Hides and leather also lost ground
during the week, caused by price
weakness in both betting and upper
leather.
The two groups other than live stock
which successfully advanced were
building materials under the leader
ship of lumber, and non-ferrous met

Hog cholera reports acted in the
corn market as a last straw on the
camels spine. adding to current fears
of acute curtailment of feeding de-
mand for corn. Threatening especial
ly the radically depleted new pig crop,
the cholera was reported as prevalent
in parts of Iowa, Minnesota and
Illinois.
Special point to any fresh reduc-
ton of feed use of corn was given by
the newly issued United States Gov
ernment crop report, showing not only
large prospective 1885 yield of corn.
