Flag ler, Standard OU magnate iChd "King of Florida," began his career as a dry-goods clerk and wool buyer In Bellevua. i Now bis wealth ranges In the neighborhood of $50,000,000. In the old days he used to carry his lunch to the loft over Peter Brady's stove store, and, occasionally, Peter favored him with a loan that en abled him to pay fur a consignment of wool, - The building which served as Brady's store and Flagler's wool emporium still stands. Henry Cook conducts a -restaurant on the ground floor, and the second story has been divided into living apart ments. .'- ' - Flagler's father was a Presbyterian minister. In 1949 Flagler became a. clerk in Harkness & Chapman's dry goods tore. He served a dozen years in that capacity, and, meantime, weffded Mary, daughter of Dr. Lamon Harkness. The latter "staked" Flagler, and the young man went to Saginaw. Mich., where he engaged in the salt business. He lost his investment In about three years ana re turned to Bellevue. , Harkness came to the" front again, with the result that Flagler was enabled to enter info the dry goods business, with John uerger, and to deal in wool. D. M. Harkness, his brother-in-law, also gave him some as sistance.

IBf ffillli Harris-Gates Crowd Still Hang On A Heavy Continental Demand' for Tierces Keeps Up the Prices Still. Furnished from special wires to Bolton, ds Ruyter Co., 102 Third street. CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-The Becord-Herald says; There were deliveries of about 3U0, 000 bushels of standard oats by Harris Gates yesterday afternoon. There has been a line of about ons million bushels of cash oats held in Oils' offlce ever slnae September. The holder Is supposed to be a rich local operator. Yesterday's deliv eries were not indicative of any change of faith by this owner. The oats put oiit yesterday were those in the less desirable houses, where the inspection was par ticularly lux during that period when the elevators were making standard oats with such a rush out of November white. The bulk of cash oats are still held by Harris-Gates. There has been little busi ness in standard at preference over the December with track buyers, but this de mand has been small. Mst of the ele vators are hard to reach with the teams, and It Is cheaper to pay a high price on the track than to take the same oats out of store. Every day there is support given the December corn here by a group of houses acting To? the Bt. Louis interest, which bo tar controls the December here, at St Louis "and Kansas City, It does hot take much of a line here to cover the total contract .corn. It was supposed that Cleage. manager of 8t. Louis blind pool operators, has liquidated In the Decem ber hero, but of late there has been signs that there was still a holding here. There was a cargo of 100,0itt bushels No. s loaded here yesterday for this St. Leuls account. Just at the close each day there is a beginning for December by a group of commercial people who have close relations with St. Louis. Some of thess get from Tyson, who is the representa tive of the Cleage party. The Decem ber buying yesterday was by McCleary, Bryant, Baxter and Phillips. The De cember at Kansas City and St Louis was held firm here on a very unimportant trade.
