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.

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. Light rains in Memphis district only rainfall reported up to midnight. Temper atures slightly warmer, highest 96 at Ok lahoma City, with Abilene, Fort Worth, Shreveport and Fort Smith, 94. Forecast Thursday North Carolina and Tennessee, thunder showers, balance belt generally fair and warm. Forecast—Virginia: Partly cloudy to night and Friday; probably occasional show ers, cooler on the coast. Kentucky, Tenness’ee: Partly cloudy to fnight and Friday, probably occasional show era. North Carolina: Showers tonight and Fri day. South Carolina, Georgia: Local showers probable tonight and Friday. Florida: Fair tonight and Friday ex cept local showers Friday in southern por tion. Extreme Northwest Florida: Fair tonight and probably Friday. Alabama, Mississippi: Partly cloudy to night and Friday, probably local showers in interior. Louisiana: Tonight and Friday generally fair, not much change in temperature. Arkansas: Tonight and Friday partly cloudy to cloudy. 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. Norden & Co. make condition 67.5.

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.

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 caused some buying. Tomorrow’s results will, of course, depend on the character of the bureau reports on condition, acreage and indicated yield, due at 11:30 o’clock, New Orleans time. • 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.” ■ Sinn Feiners Pleased With De Valera’s Work LONDON, July 2. —Sinn Fein head quarters announced today that the executive committee of the Daile Ireann had met secretly in Dublin on Tuesday and framed the following message, which was cabled to Ea monn De Valera in America: “The Daile Ireann unanimously re affirms the allegiance of the citizens of Ireland to your policy and ex presses complete satisfaction with your work. We rely confidently upon the great American nation to accord recognition to the RepublisM of Ire land.” ~ . 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 0 New Questions 1.

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.

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.
