The wheat run today was quite heavy, but trading in cash wheat was rather quiet. The demand, however, was very &00d, but the traders were not anxious to #cll at the prevalling prices, preferring to hold their samples over until the next miarket day. The bulk of the wheat ruled ¥%c lower, but a few, early sales of choice wheat sold at practically unchanged prices. The cotn market was qulet on account of the light receipts, but the cash demand was sufficlently active and prices remained firm.

PANAMA BONDS ADVANOED < New, York, July 39.—For aliff practical purposes today's session of the sfock mar- ket might well have been omitted.

Of this amount the usual leaders like United M le M Mexican States - Steel, Petroleum an and gains of 1 to 3 points In lssues art of New York Air Brake, American Car and more minor specialtie were without the slightest Influence else- where. Rails were almost motionless with some irregular changes, Pennsylvania showing slight pressure with moderate gains for Canadian Pacific and Atlantic Coast Line and four points for Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh, which recently Increased its dividend rates. In peint of activity and importance, In- ternational bond issues constituted the real feature of the day. Anglo-French bs changed hands to the extent of almost $1,- 100 000, mostly at 95%, a small concession, and the new French notes were traded Into a total of almost $600,000, all at 95, the subscription price at which this issue seems to be “pegged.” General news included sev- eral June statements of rallway earnings, Canadlan Pacific showing a net increase of slightly more than $1,000,000 and Noffolk & Western, $450,000. Mercantile agencles re- terred optimistically to trade conditions, ex- cept in the northwest, where some damage to crops is apprehended. Dealings in forelgn exchange wers in keeping with the dull stock market, sterling and franca being unaltered, with some improvement in marks and rubles.

REGULAR BUYERS ATTEND (Correspondence of The Associated Press Dieppe, July 24.—Flotsam and jet- sam cast up by equinoxial tides and sold here by auction under maritime regulations that date from the time of Colbert, reflect each year the de- structive force of nature in fury at sea. In ordinary years it is small wreckage that predominates—minute salvage from sailing and fishing ves- sels such as picces of rigging, fishing nets, broken rudders, barrels of tar and so forth, but the wreckage wash- ed ashore on the coast of Normandy has lately gone beyond all previous records. Jagged wounds in pieces of ships’ hulls showing the traces of torpedoes, barrels, casks, cases, more or less chipped, dented, or crushed by con- tact with the sharp reefs, with cord- age and smashed cabin furniture, life-saving belts, bales of rubber and cotton, barrels of oil and molasses, casks of tallow, with a conglomera- tion of apparatus and paraphernalia such as none but a mariner could identify or connect with any rational use, were collected in one lot alon, with a_baby's cradle and a beheade doll. The cradle was almost intact, the body of the beheaded doll was blackened as if by powder. There are regular buyers of the flotsam and jetsam of this coast, who come here every year to speculate upon the season’s disasters. The miscellancous debris of an average has acquired a certain value that none bur these experts would ever venture to get out of it. This year, in harmony with the general movement, nearly everything brought war prices. There were some rare commodities in the salvage and there was sentiment, The industrial alcohol, rubber, tal- low and oil went to unprcedented rices, other miscellany that would have been comparatively neglected in ordinary years was readily turned into. money. Mostly from Havre. The bugen come mostly from Ha- vre, but this year many came from as far as Paris. The industrial alcohol went to a merchant from Armentieres who is still trading with soldiers there under continual bombardment. Al- cohol 'is rare along the front. With the cask bought by the man from Ar- mentieres the soldiers in that sec- tion will be able to heat their ra- tions, Life belts and buoys as a rule go begging with bu{cru from the inte- rior. This year there was a taker for every one offered. A belt that re- sembled one of these white wreaths sold in Paris for the docoration of graves, with the inscription, “S. S. Lo- mas, London,” upon it, a belt to which some life had clung to the last moment of physical resistance, no doubt, brought the unheard-of price of 10 francs. Gangplanks, ship's boast and lad- ders, along with cabin furniture and bunk clothing, brought only the av- erage auction price, but the smaller debris—things no landlubber can ex- pect ever to find useful—were snapped u{) by the buyers from the interior if they showed the slightest evidence of having gone through one of the sea dramas of the great war. All this wreckage, gathered along the coast by customs officials, inven- tored and classified, is sold after the legal lapse of time, if unclaimed be- fore. The proceeds, less the “import duty,” are held for thirty years in the treasury of the Marine Invalids, and definitely acquired by that charity only if no one establishes a claim up- on it in the meantime. GOOD BUSINESS IN RATTLERS Pennsylvanian Captures and Fattens Snakes fguflide and William R. Hoover, forest ranger in Green’s valley, has developed a good business in rattlesnake oil and hides. He captures the reptiles alive, and has become quite adept at the nervy occu- ation. ithin the last week or two e has added two large snakes to his collection, and places no more impor- tance to the performance than if he had been rabbit hunting. One of the , | snakes has ten rattles and the other has eight. The older reptile is about three feet and three inches in length, and has an abnormally thick body. Hoover makes his captures by plac- ing a forked stick over the head of the snake and pinning it to the ground. He then forces a wire loop over the head of the reptile, and has it tight. Hoover says that it is a mistaken idea that rat- tlesnakes will always sound a warning rattle when approached. His late ex- perience with the rattler tribe has proved the old theory to be untrue, as he has found several snakes which gave no sound when he drew near them. . Hoover feeds the snakes herbs and other natural food, which he takes from the woods, an gives them a treat in the form of ground moles or mice. He fattens them before killing. Rattlesnake hunting is quite profitable, as both hide and oil command a good price.— Philadelphia Record CHICAGO GRA Cooler Weather Has Bearish Effect on ‘Wheat Values.

Ha, Hal Says Fearless Pearl White Pearl White, Pathe’s “fearless, peer- less girl" can swims like a fish—and does, very frequently, these summer days. She's also considerable of a business woman, although, like most business people, she guesses wrong ever so often. She made a wrong guess recently in the stock market, and several weeks' salary went poof in consequence. A day or two after her brokers had told her the sad news she guided her nifty roadster over the Long Island roads to Long Beach. She was bound for a bath houge when a friend stopped her. “Hello, Pearl,” she said, “whither bound?"” “For the briny,” answered Miss hite. “What!” exclaimed the other, Koufd swim now, with all these sharks in the ocean?” \ g “Sharks?” said Miss White with contempt. “Why, sister, after the sharks I've met up with down in Wall street I'm about as much afraid of any sharks I'm likely to encounter in the ocean as I'd be of a minnow!” And a few moments later her little red bathing cap was seen bobbing about far outside the line of breakers.
