CHICAGO, July 29 The course of true love never did run otherwise than on a tank town schedule. While Heinrich Karl Theodore Maria Count Merbach Geldern von Egmont, a Bure-enough German count, and his bride-to-be, MiBB Margaret Lorenz, a sanitarium housekeeper, were telling the details of their romance yesterday, a money-seeking automobile agent hovered nearby.

Safely hidden in his inside pocket was a bill for $165.50, for automobile hire since last Tuesday. The automobile man, importuned, outlined the situation ruthlessly. "The count if he is one got a car at our garage on South State street last Tuesday," he said. "We never would have let him have it for a solid week had it not been for the fact that his brother-in-law said it was all right. But it isn't." This was not the only blow that the "counf'suffered. A boarder at 750 South Canal street, where the "count" has slept ever since the Blackstone Hotel notified him that he was not desired there, asserts that the secret of the "nobleman's" gloomy past is that he was a porter in a saloon as recently as eight weeks ago. Edward Wolff, another boarder who is declared to have "portered" with the "count," and who has since left the house, is said to have introduced him to the Lorenzes. According to this informant, it was last Tuesday that the "count" first revealed his identity to the other boarders, began suit for the hand of Miss Lorenz and climbed into a cutaway coat and a title simultaneously. The marriage of the "count" and Miss Lorenz is scheduled to take place some time today. The exact hour they will not reveal. They announce that they will leave tomorrow morning for the "count's" ancestral estates in Bavaria, at Waltersdorf, Botenstein, Friedolflng and Nuremberg. Incidentally they will see what the "count's" aged mother, the frau graefin, thinks about things. "It is wonderful this romance of mine," declared Miss Lorenz, who is 32 years old. "The count took me automobile riding daily. The count would tell me of his coming marriage with a German girl. He invited me yea, he did and told me I must have nice dresses and flowers and perfumes and such things. One wonderful day he told me that I was the girl he would morry. "I told him yesterday that I appreciated the fact that he must have had other sweethearts oodles of them and that a man, even after marriage must not be held down too much. I told him that I would turn my head when he looked on the pretty faces of other women." Count von Merbach admitted that his marriage to Miss Lorenz would be "inorganic." "My father contracted such a marriage," he said. That is why our names and estates are not listed in the Almanach de Gotha. I do not care if I lose everything. If my mother is so minded when I break the news she can, under a rule of our family, pay me 25,000 marks and turn-me adrift. I do not think she will."

NEW YORK. July 29 Immediate conditions are favorable to the stock market. The crops continue to make satisfactory progress. The activity in iron is still exceptional and the general prospects for fall and winter trade are highly encouraging. In spite of these stimulating facts the stock market has been inert; partly because of am entire lack of leadership and partly because there still remains a series of uncertainties which may interfere with a complete restoration of confidence. Chief of these is the political outlook. Rightly or wrongly, there is continued hesitation pending the results of the present campaign,

which cannot be definitely forseen at

in foreign exchange in New York sug-, gests the probability of gold exports at no distant date; for London is quite likely to take gold from New York to meet its obligations in South America. Bearing upon the foreign situation, the continued decline in British Consols is significant. British 2 per

capital has disapepared. Though less acute than formerly, it still remains active and continually shows itselr in attempted legislative attacks. There is no certainty that these attacks will not be renewed in the next congress.

party wins, unsettles many manufacturers and merchants alike. The persistent high cost of living is also a factor which seriously complicates the political situation and should not be overlooked. Prices of nearly all commodities are high and continue to show a rising tendency. This stimulates social and political disquiet.

Some theorists hold that the large increase in gold production is respon- j sible. This influence, however, is much i exaggerated. A far more important ( element is the derangement between supply and demand of commodities, j In nearly all parts of the world the j demand for various products has in- ; creased faster than supply. Modern methods of business have enabled pro- i ducers to combine and control produc- j tion and prices more effectually than ever before. Trades unions have enabled labor to do likewise, and shorter hours and higher wages have ma- ! terially added to high prices and the j increased cost of living. The constant i drift of population from the farm to i the city the world over has also been an important factor. The changes thus

going on in our economic structure are far reaching and their outcome cannot yet be estimated. This alone causes a feeling of hesitancy on the part of financial and industrial leaders who are always considerably influenced by long distance views. The monetary situation is not entirely favorable to the stock market. A steady hardening of rates is reasonably probable owing to increased crop and trade demands, especially as prices are high. Already there is an increased supply of commercial paper, which means more activity in business. The money situation

carries with it the more permanent f

element of justice derived through discussion and arbitration. It is quite possible that the stock market will rise to a higher level, especially as some of the big operators are largely interested on that side. Good crops, better trade prospects and the early adjournment of congress are all favorable to an upward movement, ! provided aggressive leadership is forthcoming. The report of the Stanley committee need cause no uneasiness, for there is not the remotest chance of any of its provisions being adopted either by the House or the Senate in this session of Congress, and the chances are very slim for the next I session. There is also little or no I chance of any early legislation aris-
