Chicago Board of Trade. Future Grain and Provisions. * CHICAGO, March 19.—Plenty of buying or- ders for wheat were in evidence at the open- ing. The cry was quite generally advanced | that the Sully affair would cause freer scope | to be given to the influence of so-called legit- | imate”, conditions, Initial quotations for May | Y lower to ie hlxhrr at 929214 was %ec lower to higher at 86! @ Fhorts were especially heavy buyers and with limited offerings prices made a quick advance, May selling up to 93c and July | to ST%c. Reports from Kansas and other | sections of the Southwest were to the effect | that the rainfall of the last few days was quite inedequate to the needs of the Erowing | | plant and that hopes of a_ satisfactory crop | | of winter wheat were becoming fainter as the were Jul | season progressed. Toward the end of the | first_hour, however, in spite of the prepon- derahce of bulli: nformation, there was much wheat for sal supposed to be for the account of Eastern speculators. Under this | selling y declined to 91%c, while July | eacted to S6%c. On the break there was free | covering by shorts and buying by pit traders | on the theory that the market had been | largely oversold. An Improved cash demand | increased the buying in speculative trading and caused a sharp rally. May advanced to f 037 and July to “e. The close was | strong, July with May were at &; at k] 4c.

NEXT SUNDAY CALL. | - ( | HIGH COLLARS SAID I TO CAUSE HEADACHE i()ne Man Says Further That They | Are Bad for One's i Nerves. | “You may not know it, old fellow, | but there is a very intimate connection | between the high collar and the head- ;-che." said an observant man, “and I have proved my faith in the statement by refusing to wear collars of the high sort. It is a bad business, my boy. High collars choke uwp the veins and arteries and interfere to some extent with the circulation of the bloed in the neck and head. Do not understand me to be knocking any particular brand of high collars. - So far as the appearance | of the high collars is concerned, I con- | fess that I ike it. | “In my own case it has been a great blessing in at least one way, for fel- | lows with long necks, you know, do not look so well when you harness them up in low collars. My neck is long, long as a crane’s, and the high collar has kept me from leaving too much of it | exposed. Why, I've got so much neck that when I first began to wear low collars I was almost ashamed to ven- ture out into the street. I feit like I was but half-dressed, and the feeling was not so far wrong at t, for the low collar does leave a part of my anatomy open and al eboard, as it were. “But this fact does not bother me 1 simply don't care at all. Ex- posed neck is a whole lot better than ‘huduhe. you know, old chappy. 1 was speaking of headache just now. | That's what I wanted to tell you about. | The high collar dves something more than interfere with one's circulation. | Tt scratches and irritates the skin, keeps one's chin at an unreasonable- uncomfortable and unnatural angl$ and causes one to acquire a nervous frigidity of habit. “When you meet your friend who is in the habit of wearing a high collar pay particular attention to the way he moves and holds his head. It isn't at all natural. It is all due to the
