COTTON
NEW YORK, July 1. —There was renewed
covering in the cotton market at the open
ing today. More private crop reports were
issued indicating a substantial Improvement
In prospect as compared with a month ago,
but the yfailed to create any fresh selling.
This promoted the covering movement, and
after opening firm at an advance of 50
points on July and of 15 to 18 points on
new crop positions, the market sold about
15 to 65 points net higher. J" 1 / continued
relatively firm, advancing to 38.45 c, while
October sold at 33.40 c. »
Three of four July notices were sported
In circulation and after selling at 38. oO or
70 points higher, July eased off to 38.30
late 1b the morning. General business was
very quiet but new crop months held steady
owing to the failure of the bearish condi
tion and weather reports to bring in any sell
inn of consequence. Except for scattered,
covering there was very little b "t
offerings were correspondingly light with
October duling around 3.40, or about -4
points net higher. ..
Trading continued very quiet during the
middle of the afternoon but th ® re . 'L®?
little furry of covering by July shorts which
sent the price up to 38.67, or 87 P°b** s
higher and 525 points above Octob®r
tober held around 33.40, or 24 points net
higher.

NEW ORLEANS, July I.—Better cables
than due and private reports on condition,
one of 68 and the other of 70]3 per cent of
normal, gave the cotton market an upward
trend on the opening today, and in the first
hour of business prices gained 28 to 38
points, October rising to 33.23 c. The market
was onlv moderately active and buying was
held within bounds by continued favorable
weather over the belt.
After the first buying movement the mar
ket fell off from the highest levels but late
in the morning steadied up again as the re
sult of the forecast of generally ahowery
weather for the eastern half of the belt and
went on levels 31 to 38 points higher than
yesterday's final prices, July advancing to
37.38.

THOMSON, MoKINNON & CO. GRAIN
LETTER
CHICAGO, July I.—Corn: Further rains
over the corn belt and an estimate of liberal
receipts precipitated considerable pressure
upon the market. The rally in prices from
the low point was a result of over-confi
dence in anticipation of lower prices. It
was helped also by a little improvement in
tlie demand for current receipts. With the
weather over the major portion of the belt
favorable, and with private crop experts
and an increase in the acreage, the market
should be susceptible to a continuation of
the present movement from the country.
Oats—No individuality has been displayed
in this market, prices taking their cue from
corn. The early cash market was neglected
and consequently lower, but re-entrance of
support brought about the recovery of the
decline in price. It is possible that new
chop deliveries may have the appearance of
weakness on any further decline in corn,
but inasmuch as this time is the critical
period of the oats crop and reports of ex
perts show a lowering of condition during
the last month, it seems inadvisable to
accept the idea of lower prices.

Grain Gossip
Chicago Tribune says: Weakness in corn
in Kansas City yesterday attracted atten
tion and invited selling here, as July in
Kansas City dropped to 12% cent under
1 Chicago and cash corn there is on a shipping
basis with Chicago. Houses with, eastern
connections were good sellers of oats here
early and buyers on the late break. Heavy
to excessive rains have fallen in eastern
Kansas, 1 to 4 inches last 24 hourly
Cotton Gossip
Hugh McElroy says: Liverpool comes
about as due. The only change in weather
is predicted showers in North Carolina, bal
ance of the belt fair.
The Journal of Commerce makes condition
71.5, but this is an improvement of only
3.5 from its figures of last month. If this
improvement were applied to the bureau’s
June figure it would indicate a condition
tomorrow around .66, which is far lower
thdn any guesses so far. The public is
prepared for figures around .70.
It would not be surprising to see a cover
ing movement in advance of the bureau
and considerable advance if only temporary.
Journal of Commerce says: Southern cot
ton manufacturers who were in the mar
kets yesterday stated that a wide premium
must be paid for good spinning cotton and
that fact has a strong Influence in making
mills firm where future delivery goods are
under consideration.

Oklahoma: Tonight and Friday partly
eloudy to cloudy.
East Texas, West Texas: Tonight and
Friday generally fair.
Times-Picayune says: The market for
the time being is overshadowed by the im
pending government reports due Friday.
While continued fair weather and favorable
private crop advices induce some bearish
sentiment, the tendency to sell short is held
in check by the big discounts of futures un
der spots which encourages trade buying on
all slumps, by the position into which the
July interest had drifted and by fears that
the government may show some decrease in
acreage.
The boll weevil scare wa» tome what
allayed yesterday by the small mention made
of the weevils In the weekly weather and
crop summary. The detailed report by
states, however, showed the weevils numer
ous in many states with the prospect that
they will become more damaging as the
plants begin to fruit, particularly should a
spell of showery weather develop. If the bu
reaxi is a shade under 70 it will be the low
est July crop condition on record, and while
there is the possibility of a slight clt&nge in ’
the acreage compared with last year, a lit
tle more or less, chances are likely to be
against the making of a fair yield, much
less a large crop, unless the weather during
the remainder of the season Is exceptionally
good and weevils are not destructive. The
crop is still very late, and weevils have ap- |
peared early and are numerous in many lo
calities of the belt. In this/ there is the
greatest danger for the crop, as in event of
showery weather they would likely multiply
and become destructive.

TIMES-PICAYUNE REPORT
NEW ORLEANS, July 1. —A tabulation of
the reports Indicates'an average condition
of 70.3 per cent of normal which compared
with the government’s average a month ago.
62.4, indicates an improvement of a frac
tion short of 8 points.
Following the government’s formula for
forecasting the probable yield based on the
average CQpdltion of June 25, and the esti
mated acreage, a condition of 70.8 points
to a yield with average conditions from now
on of a trifle less than 11,000,000 bales.
The weather during the past month has
been generally favorable, particularly in
the eastern half of the belt, in the west
weather has also improved although there
have been complaints of more rain than
needed in parts of Texas, Oklahoma and
Arkansas and the weather has been some
what too cool in the more northerly portions
of the entire belt and along the Atlantic
coast to promote the proper growth of the
Crop.
While some of the backwardness of the
crop of a month ago has been recovered
the plants are, as a rule, smaller than usual
at this season and the crop as a whole is
still two or three weeks late with very
irregular stands, largely duer to the amount
of replanting and the late date at which
planting in many sections was completed.
There continues to be a universal com
plaint of the scarcity of and unreliability i
of labor. Wages are extremely high, great
ly adding to the cost of growing the present
crop. Only the very favorable weather of
the past month has permitted’ the proper
cultivation of crop with the labor available
and in some localities grass is still com
plained of. Nevertheless the crop has been
pretty generally chopped out and the fields
cleaned. There is a general complaint of
the presence of weevils in the southern
portion of practically all states and as the
season progresses the Insects are appearing
in more northerly dlstrctis.
The following table compiled from the re
ports of correspondents shows the percent
age of acreage under cultivation June 25,

ment’s two preceding seasons.

SHEPARD * GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, July 1. —A regulation
pre-bureau market prevailed in cotton to
day. Prices were higher mainly because
of the tendency of average estimates on
condition to get down around th 70 mark.
The weather map was favorable, little rain
being indicated in the belt, but the fore
cast called for generally showery weather
in the eastern division of the belt and this

W.&A. REPORT
SUBMITTED TO
LEGISLATURE
Governor Dorsey Thursday sub
mitted to the general assembly the
fifth annual report of the Western
and Atlantic railroad commission, in
which the commission formally noti
fied the legislature that its- work has
been completed and asked to be dis
charged from further responsibility.
One of the outstanding features of
the report was the statement that
the total minimum net consideration
to be received -by the state under
the leases now in effect tor a titty
year term would amount to $32,130,-
000. VThe commission estimated that
this amount would be received as fol
lows:
In road rentals to be paid in cash,
$27,000,000; contractual cash mini
mum to, be expended on permanent
road improvements, *3,000,000; cash
rentals on Southern Express company
and Eastern hotel' buildings, in Chat
tanooga, $600,000; contractual cask
minimum to be expended on perma
nent improvements on above-men
tioned buildings, $35,000; estimateu
minimum taxes in Tennessee on the
state’s properties to be paid by the
lessees for the term ot the lease,
$1,500,000.
The report gave details ot the
fiscal year contract made in 1911
with the Nashville, Chattanoga and
St. Louis railway, it also made a
report in full on the present condi
tion of the property.
In its recommendations the report
stated that except tor the clearing
of two mitigated encroachments ana
a few other minor encroachments
along the right-of-way, the work ot
the commission seems to have oeei.
completed. It recommends that, in
discharging the commission, the su
pervision and direction ot the rail
road be placed in the hands ot the
railroad commision, to which body W.
A. Wimbish, the W. & A. attorney,
shall report. It is proposed that tne
railroad commission take on this
added burden as its duty without re
muneration therefor.
The report was signed by C. Mur
phy Candler, chairman ot the W. <f
A. commission; Governor Dorsey, ana
Commißsloners E. Gunby Jordan, St.
Elmo Massengale and C. K. Asniey.
Is She a Bigamist?
That Is the Question;
Ignorant of the Law
Whether a person can be convicted
of bigamy when the minister who
performed the ceremony was not
qualified by law to officiate is a
question that is puzzling officials
of the commonwealth.
Their dilemma arises from an in
dictment by the grand jury recently,
charging Alida Butler, a French girl,
with contracting a marriage with
Sergeant Harry Cleveland, while still
the wife of Plaudis A. Barnhill.
In view of the mitigating circum
stances, Judge Robinson fixed the
bond of the girl at ?50 when she
was arraigned in the criminal court
of New York and pleaded guilty to
the charge.
At a late hour the girl had not
arranged for bail and still was in
charge of the matron at the county
jail. The Rev. Dr. C. A. Hansen,
Seventh Day Adventist, who per
formed the ceremony June 12, 1920,
uniting the girl to Sergeant Cleve
land, testified in police court that he
was not a licensed minister.
It is contended by the common
wealth, however, that in going to the
office of the marriage license clerk
with Sergeant Cleveland to get the
license the girl’s intent to violate the
law was established in part and more
firmly established when she went
through the ceremony knowing she
was the wife of another.
It is said the girl will plead igno
rance of the law, although that fact
was not developed in court.
Two Girls Confess to
$50,000 Hotel Thefts;
Ex-Soldier the Cause
Pleading guilty to hotel thefts in
which they are said by the police to
have obtained loot valued at $50,000.
Marie McKiernan, twenty-two, and
Josephine Givens, twenty-two. of 140
West 104tll street, New York, were
held by Magistrate Ten Eyck in the
West Side Court in $5,000 bail each
to await the action of the grand jury.
Miss McKiernan told the police that
two soldiers, recently discharged
from Camp Dix and known to her as
Tom and George, were responsible for
her stealing. She had been arraign
ed on the specific charge of taking
clothing and jewelry from guests in
the Hotel Monterey, 215 West Nine
ty-fourty street, where she and her
companion were employed as cham
bermaids.
“Three months ago we met two
men from Camp Dix,” she said,
“who have since been discharged.
One was named Tom and the other
George. They promised to marry us
and told us how we could get rich
quick by taking jobs with hotels as
chambermaids. We answered adver
tisements, got jobs we held about
twenty minutes and the first
chance to sret away with the clothes
and jewels in places where we went
to make beds.”
When she was asked to name some
of the hotels the young women men
tioned the Latham, Prince George,
Waldorf-Astoria, Majestic, Belmont.
St. Regis, Commodore and Theresa.
. "We kept the clothes at our
house,” she continued, “where they
can be found, but we gave the jew
els to the two men. We don’t care
what is done now. tv e want to
have this over with.”

BRYAN TO CARRY
PROHI APPEAL TO
THE CONVENTION
(Continued from Page 1)
from his place as an employe In the
convention organization. Commit
tee officals explained the mix-up as
“a misunderstanding.”
Stories of whole blocks of tickets
disappearing have been current and
at last night's session, although the
convention hall was packed, more
than five thousand persons with
properly issued tickets could not get
in. How their places came to be
filled by others was not explained.
After a futile night session given
over principally to wait for the wet
and dry fight to come off the Dem
ocratic national convention finally
found the platform committee un
able to report and without pros
pects of making a report before Fri
day morning, it adjourned at 10:25
o’clock until 10 o’clock Friday morn
ing.
While the convention marked time
down in the big hall, tucked away in
one corner of the big building the
platform committee continued its ef
fort to harmonize Jis report. After
practically closing up the question
once, the committee decided to give
William Jennings Bryan another op
portunity to present a prohibition
plank.
Bryan-Colby Debate
Apparently Mr. Bryan made such
headway with his arguments that
the committee, which, it .was once
thought, would soon make its re
port 'With a majority determined to
leave the prohibition issue out of
the document, found itself unable to
make report at all.
Permanent Chairman Robinson had
a conference with Senator Glass,
of the resolutions committee, and it
was finally announced that there
were little prospects of the committee
being ready to make its report be
fore Friday mornifig.
Amid yells of disappointment
from a record-breaking crowd,
which called for “Bryan, Bryan,
Bryan,” and “We want to hear
Bryan,” the convention adjourned
until tomorrow morning. The pros
pects were said to be that the reso
lutions committee would work all
night.
The resolutions committee, unable
to settle the prohibition issue, had
finally agreed on a program, which
provided for one speaker on each
side. William J. Bryan, of course,
was to speak for a prohibition plank,
and Bainbridge Colby, secretary of
state and an administration leader,
was to take the other side of the
argument.
With the hope of hearing the com
mittee report at 8 o’clock, the con
vention assembled at that hour and
the big auditorium was packed from
floor to roof with a record crowd to
hear Mr. Bryan championing his fa
vorite cause and expecting to see
the fireworks of the wet and dry
fight. Postponement followed post
ponement, however, and while the
throng was entertained, with band
music, singing and selections on the
great pipe organ, various estimates
came down from the resolutions com
mittee of the time when it might re
port. Ten-thirty o’clock, San Fran
cisco time, was the latest and seem
ingly best bet. Some of the leaders
wanted to suspend the rules and go
ahead balloting for a nominee, but
a two-thirds vote was required and
hard to get.
The nose count made by the con
vention managers to determine
whether the two-thirds vote to sus
pend the rules and go ahead with
balloting could be secured devloped
tha;t all of the candidates’ managers
were opposed to it because they felt
it would get them “out of position.”
Guards for Bryan
At 9.30 O'clock, San Francisco
time, the word came down from the
platform committee that it would
be ready in an hour. This agreed
with the previous word that they
hoped to be ready by 10:30. The
task of the convention managers
was to keep the convention amused.
At 8 o’clock, the hour set foi? the
reassembling of the Democratic na
tional convention, the platform com
mittee was not ready to report.
In anticipation of the. prohibtion
fight the convention hall was pack
ed at the appointed hour. The dele
gates were ready and the last tiers
of the galleries up under the edges
of the room were as full as they
could be. The band, the organ and
the singers entertained the crowd.
Friends of William Jennings Bry
an, recalling threats of bodily harm
made upon him at Batlimore in
1'912, had arranged to be prepared
to defend their champion in case he
should be imperiled in the heat of
the battle of the wets and <fcys.
They had favorable points about >,h e
speaker’s stand and on the fi.-'pr
waiting for the possible developments
they hoped would not come.
Although the big auditorium was
packed to the doors and roof fully
5,003 persons with tickets of admis
! sron were on the outside and unable
to get in. At 8:30 Chairman Rob
inson wanted to make an announce
ment, but the band and organ pre
vented it by breaking into “The
Sidewalks of New York.”
At 8:40 the chairman finally got
order and directed that the aisles
i be cleared.
As usual the proceedings started
with prayer and the singing of
Star Spangled Banner.”
At 8:50 the platform committee
reported it was still not ready.
On motion of Delegate Line
baugh the convention went injo a
temporary recess while the state
delegations caucused to name their
national commiteemen and nation
al committee women. Most of them
already have been selected and their
announcement in that fashion was
principally a time-killing proposi
tion while the platform committee
continued to work.
While this was going on, the ef
forts of the combination attempt
ing to form against the nomination
of McAdoo was at work and reports
which came to the convention hall
said it had decided to center on
Cox for the present. The McAdoJ
people, on the other hand, were pre
dicting that their candidate “would
go over the top” before the fiftieth
ballot. They claimed backing of
many prominent administration
leaders who are on the ground here
Convention Sings
To further fill in the wait a dele
gate from Virginia sang “Carry Me
Back to Old Virginia,” unaccom
panied by any music.
When he came to the chorus, the
audience joined in and the organ
chimed along with its resounding
notes. He encored with “Mid the
Green Fields of Virginia.”
While the convention was being
entertained Vice Chairman Kremer
was conferring with the managers

Questions Answered -i
1. Q. —Why doesn’t the postofflee
redeem postage for cash?
1. A.—Adhesive postage stamps are
not redeemed in cash because there
is no authority in law for so doing.
It is a measure of protection against
the use of stamps for remittances,
which use is contrary to the inter
ests of the postal service, since it
diverts the postal revenues from
their proper channel, causing the
mailing postofflee to do the work
while the selling postoffice gets the
revenue. Another objection to re
demption is that it would afford op
portunity for postofflee burglars to
realize upon their piunderA,
2. Q. —Who are -Druses?
2. A.—Druses are' a people of mixed
origin who inhabit a district in
Syria. Their religions is fundamental
ly Mohammedan, but their faith, min
gles the teachings of the Mosaic law,
the Christian gospels and the Sufi
allegories with those of the Koran.
They believe in the transmigration
of souls with constant advancement
and purification. Their teachings en
join abstinence from wine and to
bacco, from profanity and obscenity,
and polygamy is unknown among
them. There are a few hundred of
this sect in the United States. ,
3. Q. —Where do bananas come from
and how do they grow?
3. A.—Bananas are imported chief
ly from the West Indies and Central
America, although some are produced
in Hawaii, California and Florida.
The banana plant is a great peren
nial herb. It grows from ten to
thirty feet tall and produces a bunch
of fruit, after which the stalk dies
or becomes weak. In the meantime
suckers have arisen from the r_QOt
stalk to take its place, and bear in
their turns. Al strong sprout should
bear when twelve to eighteen months
old.
4. Q. —How long did 'Paul Revere
live? \*
4. A.—Paul Revere was born in
Boston, Mass., in 1735, and lived to
the age of eighty-three years.
5. Q. —Have any of the colleges in
creased the pay of teachers and pro
fessors?
5. A. —Two hundred and thirty out
of' the 300 colleges and universities
on the mailing list of the bureau
of education have answered a ques
tionnaire sent out by the latter, an
swering -In the affirmative.
6. Q. —Has the king of England
set a new style in the way he has
his pants creased?
6. A. —At the army and navy foot
ball game in London recently, the
English king wore pantaloons which
were creased on the side instead
of down the front. He wasn’t origi
of the various candidates to see if
they would regard favorably a mo
tion to suspend the rules and go
ahead with the balloting for a nom
ine while waiting for the resolutions
committee.
The word came down from the
platform committee meanwhile that
if good fortune prevailed, there
might be a report about 10:30
o’clock and that in the prohibition
fight it might be agreed to have
only two speakers—Mr. Bryan on
the’ one side and Bainbridge Colby
on the other.
The meaning of this was that the
platform committee could not decide
the prohibition issue and was going
to let it come to the floor. The
band significantly played, “We
Won’t Go Home Till Morning,” and
the convention ruefully getting the
point, did not applaud very loudly.
It cheered loudly, however, when,
the band played “How Dry I Am.”
The delegates probably were think
ing of the wet and dry fight going
on in another part of the building.
Mrs. George Bass, of Illinois
chief of the women’s bureau of the
Democratic national committee,
made a woman suffrage speech in
which she said she would reveal
“th© duplicity of Republican man
agement in congress,” on x the suf
frage question.
Adjournment Taken
When Mrs. Bass had finished,
Chairman Robinson, fresh from a
conference with Chairman Glass, and
expecting to make a report on the
progress of the platform, stepped
onto the speaker’s runway, but the
Illinois delegation loudly demanded
a speech from James Hamilton
Lewis.
Mr. Lewis, however, did not
speak, and Senator Robinson went
on to announce that the national
committee selections would «be an
nounced and that immediately after
ward he would make an announce
ment regarding the progress of the
resolutions committee.
There were yells of disappoint
ment at that, and in response to
calls for Bryan, Senator Robinson
said the Nebraskan was unable to
be present because he was busy
with the platform committee. Then
on a motion to adjourn until 10
o’clock Friday morning the conven
tion broke up for the night.
When all the committee assign
ments had been reported, Chairman
Robinson took the speaker’s plat
form again to make his announce
ment. There were calls of “We
want to hear Bryan,” from the gal
leries.
Chairman Robinson recognized
Gavin McNab, of California, who
moved ratification of the national
committee assignments.
Disappointed at another delay, the
convention called “Platform,” "Plat
form,” and “Bryan,” “Bryan.”
The selections were ratified never
theless.
