Morning Grain Letter.
Chicago, 111., July 24. Newspaper
comments on wheat, corn and oats are
friendly to the bull side. Wheat mar
ket is described as in a strong posi
tion, due to Canadian and Russian
damage. The big export sales of 2,-
000,000 past two days have helped sen
timent One of the biggest local spec
ulators says the wheat market Is no
respecter of persons. On the news it
has turned resilient and is no longer
a sale. Most important wheat news
concerns the Russian wheat estimate
by the agricultural institute at Rome.
They guess Russian spring wheat at
390.000,000, about 160,000,000 below
last year. This means an export sur
plus of 90.000,0000 to 100,000,000,
about 50,000,000 below 1913-14. In con
Junction -with the poor crop in Rou
mania. this Russian report if correct
means that we have seen low points
on wheat. We believe the wheat mar
ket will continue to rally. We advise
suitable purchases.
Temperatures were 96 to 102 over
central west and down to Oklahoma on
Thursday. Chance of 75c for old corn
crop months increases ideas that De
cember corn operations are to be lift
ed to be in line. December corn ran
up to My8 on June 10. When the new
July sold 71 7s on the July 8 report of
85.8 for corn with a crop promise of
2,SCS.000,000. December corn ran. up to
59 cents. Quincy, 111., reports Corn bad

hopefully of corn. Quincy says corn

ASKS $5,000 FOR MOVIE
PICTURE OF A PET CAT
New York. July 24. MIbs Delta E.
Connelly, a cat fancier of Roosevelt,
L. I, has sued in the supreme court
in this district for $5,000 damages, the
Thomas A. Edison company. Inc., be
cause a moving picture of herself and
her $5,000 Persian has oeen displayed
on moving picture screens.
The cat, claimed by Miss Connelly
to be the handsomest of its breed in
the United States, is named Sandal
phon. A year ago last January she
put him on exhibition in a cat show in
Madison Square garden. As usual,
Sandalphon carried off the prize and
returned with his mistress to Roose
velt. Miss Connelly then had no
idea that she was to be a feature in
film shows throughout the country.
The moving picture men were busy
at the cat show and turned the cam
era on Miss Connelly without her
knowing it, she alleges.
A few months later friends of Miss
Connelly advised her that she and
Sandalphon were shown in many
poses. These friends represented to
Miss Connelly that she did not appear
to advantage in the picture, and was
the laughing stock of every audience
where the pictures were shown.
Then Miss Connelly went to see her
self and her cat. She saw Sandalphon
In her arms. She was petting and
fondling him. The picture was cap
tioned "$5,000 Worth of Cat"
An appeal was made to the Edison
company to have the pictures sup
pressed, but the company refused.

Adversity's Only Sure Bet
Don't place too much dependence in
human nature not because men in
Spheral are untrustworthy, which 1
do not mean to imply, but because
they are human. Promises are often
born of momentary enthusiasm and
made with the best intentions of ulti
mate fulfillment. But things happen.
condition change, ardor cools; the
sentiment of liberality is superseded
by one of selfish interest and pledges
made in the best of faith are forgot,
ten.
Everything human Is frail and mu
table. The nature of a man may
change with each new environment,
but the coin of the realm has a fixed
and dependable value. You may fail
to cash in on promises, but you can
always collect 100 cents on a doller
bill.
That's the reason I say to you that
it's all right to have faith in men, but
put your implicit trust in cash. It's
the only sure bet in the moment of ad
versity. Maurice Switzer in Leslie's.
