CHICAGO, Anguat IT.-BuilUh crop eetunmtea rallied the com market today from weakness which was shown at the atari. Opening declines were ascribed to favorable weather. Later, however, authoritative figure* on the yield for the seven surplus states put the tots’ at 4Ki,«M<!fi bushels less than was harvested tost year. Opening prices Which varied from %c off to %c advance, with September SLfl% to and October fl.S* to fl«3%, were followed by a slight setback, and then by an advance all around to well above
yesterday's finish.
Extreme scantiness of receipts for the week tended to maintain the^taMM of the market. Prices closed firm

Oats paralleled the action of com. | Trade was of moderate volume. After opening unchanged to %e higher, with i September 70c to 7n%c. the market re-; acted a little and then scored substantial gains. Provisions lacked support. . Higher onotattons on hogs were ignored. weakness waa emphasized by the fact that shipments of lard and meats for the week were decidedly smaller than a
year ago. L —

October contracts, for Instance, aold at 31 M© during today's trading, making an advance of more than 233 a bale above the price prevailing shortly before the publication of the last government report, while later delivefiea have worked up to nearly the Sic level, The advance haa been In the face of rather a bearish or reactionary

Showery conditions reported Tn Texas during the middle of the week passed, without any adequate relief from the dqpught, however, while hedge selling failed to develop in any volume and selling for short account was held In check by the continued reports of crop deterioration, the encouraging crop news and the indications of a continued active domestic mill consumption, as shown by the census figures for July. Except for realizing, consequently, there has not been much pressure against prices, and while no marked Improvement has been reported in domestic trade demand, houses with foreign connections have been among the buyers. Liverpool interests, in particular, are said to have been rendered uneasy by the situation In the southwest, where they usually secure the bulk of their early requirements. Today’s weather reports showed a renewal of clear weather 4n that sec-

NEW YORK. August It.-ScareiRr of money, latest tax proposals and further delay to the railroad contract settlement again ttnpoeed their restrictions on the stock market this week, although price* held steady on the further stimu-

The monetary situation arose in large pert from heavy payment to the final Instalment of the third Liberty loan, but these were accentuated by additional admonition# on the need of credit conservation from the federal reserve
msagm^i
In authoritative quarters the belief prevailed that money would remain firm for the balance of the year, account being taken of next month s preparations for the fourth Ubsrty loan. The one Illuminating feature of the investment situation waa furnished by the rise to Liberty S%s to their best quotation of the year at 100.14, Indicating a continuance of buying of that issue by leading financial Interests. Foreign developments found their chief reflection In the greeter strength of exchange to all the allied countries, but remittance* to neutral point* were irregular, Spanish exchange weaken"Heviaed estimates of leading crops, a* suggested by recent ad vice*, caused occasional pressure against rails, but that group held rather better than Industrials.

CHICAGO, Auguat 17.-WeIcome rains, cooler temperature* and allied victories have largely offset in the corn market this week bullish crop advlcea both from government and private sourcaa^^Com^ monoing were %c off to l%c up, oat* were unchanged to %c higher, and provisions varying from 36c decline to a rise of 12c. Successes of the allies received more attention a* a corn market factor early in the week than waa the case later after traders took such news as largely a matter of courae. On the other hand conditions of heat and .aoiature were studied day after day with a thoroughness seldom surpassed, for expert* were unanimous that damage done since the August 1 government estimate of yield would aggregate many millions of bushel*. However, this injury, though of huge volume, seemed to have been discounted virtually in full, and advance# were further checked by word that Buffalo was shipping corn back to Chicago and Peoria owing to high prices at the two Illinois cities. Liberal sales to army cantonments put firmness into oats. Tn provisions the fact that hog* had touched the topmost point on record was a strengthening factor. Demand for pork, however, was lacking.

On account of the readjustment in prices of hogs governed by average weight which haa been going on all the week and which has reflected a stronger discrimination against heavy hogs in favor of the lighter weights there is now an unusual spread in sale* compared with the standing heretofore this year, but comparatively email compared with a time tost fall when there was a difference of 91.00 in {be extreme sales of hogs averaging 190 pounds and the heaviest sort and, contrary to the present showing, heavy hogs were then the highest A* late aa fast Monday there was only a 90c spread in sates and two weeks ago only 25c. The extreme range in prices Saturday waa 319.90 to 319.75, agaihat 919.50 to 919.90 a week ago. The receipts of cattle for the closing day this week were comparatively small only one-fourth as many as on Friday, and in that small number there was not much variety. They were largely female butcher cattle that sold at steady prices. Few cattle direct from the country remained unsold. There was a small

The marketing of cattle this week was only a little larger than last week, but smaller than in recent years at this time, and the fact that it was difficult to clear the pens from day to day with an average daily run of only a little over 1,000 cattle would indicate that there arc no big requirements for any kind of dressed beef at this time. From the beginning of the week there was a .stronger tendency in prices of good cattle. Perhaps on account of their scarcity stock of that description sold 25c higher than at the close of last week. Subsequently, however, there was a weaker tendency in the general market and steers valued from 312 to 916 finished the week 50c lower than on Wednesday. Calves at the close of the week were I , and there waa little alteration in prices of stockers and feeding cattle.

There were more

seemed to be steady and there was no change in prices. Lambs sold as high as 317.00, but largely at 116.25 to 316.50 and as low as 315.00, while sheep sold at 312.00 downward. The supply available for sale this week was not unusually large and the tendency was consequently in favor of the selling side. Most of 4he business is now GOc

NEW YORK, August 17.—The cotton market showed continued atrenMh today, and there was a further advance of 1 cent a pound in prices. October contracts aold at 92.80c. the higheM figure since trading In that delivery began, making an advance of approximately ,150 a bale over the low levels of tost May. The buying probably waa stimulated by favorable war news, but was chiefly attributable to the continued drought to Texas, and te numerous reports of crop deterioration in the eastern sections of the belt. Houses with Wall street connections were heavy buyers, and It was reported that the deterioration to crop prospects combined with the absence of hedge selling, had led to a reversal of market sentiment among some of the recent sellers. January sold at 31.98c, with active months generally Showing net advances of 107 to 111 points. The close was slightly off from the best under realising, but Mrong at net gains of 95 to 117 points.

Ira Oross had six acres which were down so badly that they could be cut only one way, thus wasting much of the crop. Notwithstanding thia, the field averaged more than eighty-five bushels to the acre. SHELBYVILLE—The yield of sugar corn tn Shelby county will average 30 to 60 per cent short, according to Edward C.

Hootier Dialect It Not Running Loose in Indiana
y. He was told that the most inting remains of this quaint dialect to be found In that county, when It yet lingered In It* g and beautiful valleys,
A New England professor with a bias toward philology, having read and heard much of Hoosler dialect, has devoted a part of his vacation to a study of the subject In Its native lair. On the advice of acquaintances made here he has given two weeks of his time to Brown county. He was told that the most Interest! we f e picturesque hills aa though loath to leave. After such thorough Investigation aa only a New Egland profeasor can five to any subject In which he may be interested, he has come to the conclusion that the article known aa Hooefer dialect la not to bo found in circulation among Indiana people; that even tn Brown county, which la now noted for its school* the dialect ascribed to that interesting people to not in current use, and, like others of u* when they have any deeire to see what it to, or what it waa. they have to look into books or Into newspaper poetry to find It, Notthor Admitted Nor Denied, That Indiana once had such a dialect to neither admitted nor denied by any number of surviving "oldest Inhabitants.” They do say. however, that it never prevailed in other neighborhoods. Some go so far ae to say that, like the •'milk sickness” of other days, other neighborhods than theirs might have had it, but it had never come their way. The only dialect now prevalent In Indiana has been brought to us from the south by colored people, and to altogether different from the Hoosler dlaect that has been so generously bestowed on us by book and newspaper people. The dialect of these colored people to rich In phrases whlph have a subtle and humorous significance to which no white man's dialect can approach within gunshot. The humor as to kind and quality lays the Hibernian article entirely In the shade. Will Know It No Mora. But, as to th# Hoosler dialect, whether or not it ever existed In the robustness thr.t some of us have believed. It must give one a painful reflection that It has, so far sjs to be actually spoken, disappeared, that the places that havs known it, even the most remote corners of Brown and neighboring counties, will know It no more. And yet It need not, even after centuries may have passed, be irretrievably lost. We are told that skilful naturalists have been able to restore the entire skeleton of an antediluvian monster from a single bone. In Indiana, where, the modern beaver to no more, we have knowledge through scientific Investigation of beavers that existed hereabouts thousands upon thousands of years ago and far away generations may, in like manner, though all books havs been lost, by a single bone—that to' a single word of dialect—have built up for them a Hoosler dialect quite as good as that we are now losing.

SUGAR SAVING SCHEME GIVEN
How the chemiat haa once more come forward with a wartime proposition for saving sugar by actually Increasing its sweetening power to told of In a bulletin issued by the Indiana state council of defense. This information to valuable in view of the further reduction
In the sugar rations.
When cane sugar (or sucrose) te subjected to a chemical change called hydrolysto, it to converted into invert sugar, which to a mixture of equal parts of glucose and fructose (fructose to the characteristic sugar of ripe fruits, especially apples and pears). The fructose part of invert sugar to very sweet—sweeter than sucrose, and far sweeter than glucose or corn sirup.
Weight for weight,
about 30 per cent, sweeter than the C ^3ne*'hund r ed pounds of cane sugar make 106.34 pounds of invert sugar, which has the same sweetening power as 138 pounds of cane sugar. So it can be seen readily that the conversion of cane sugar into invert sugar to an econin MtzrAAtAntnsr Tt haft no rnor6 food
omy In sweetening, » has no more food value than the sucrose, but the use of the latter aa a food to almost always
a secondary consideration.
The inversion of sugar to a very simple matter, and to brought about when it to boiled with an add. In fact, inversion takes place to a considerable extent
the making of jelly. For many purposes confectioners and manufacturers of jelliee and Jams boll their sugar with tartaric acid or even cream of tartar In ordei to invert It Commercial invert sugar to made by means of acid, but the latter is not detectable in the sirup. Any housewife can follow readily this receipt for making invert sugar sirup. Take ter pounds of granulated sugar, four and one-half pints of water and one-fifth ounce of tartaric add (obtainable at any drug store) and boil slowly in a covered kettle for about thirty to thirty-five minutes. If boiled longer the slrur begins to darken in color and develop a taste like corn sirup. The result to fourteen pounds of etruo from ten pounds of sugar and. weight for weight, the two are equivalent In sweetening power. The sirup can be used for sweetening all sorts of cooking, fruits, cereals. Ice cream, etc.. aHheugh it may not be relished in coffee. It must be borne m mind that this sirup must be subetituted for granulated sugar, weight for weight, and not volume for volume, since about three-quarters of a cup of sirup Is equal to a cup of sugar. The one minor objection to Invert
obtained in "nt in spite cost the
bought
sugar ia that it can not dry form. It is estimat of the extra manufact same sweetening power
as cheaply In the form of invert sugar as in the form of granulated sugar. The pitcher of sirup may yet replace tho sugar bowl on American tables beforo
