20 PARTNERS FOR A WALTZ.
German Custom Favors Young Men
 Who Arrive Late at Dance.
From the London Telegranh.

From the London Telegraph.
 Young men in London society hear far too much of their delinquencies in the matter of ball room etiquette. They are accused of not caring to dance, of mere ly looking in for supper or of spending their time in the smoking room instead or dancing. It is said that the young men of today in London cannot dance They may be some truth in this, but their lack of dancing capacity is not the only reason they finger in the smoking rooms or merely go in for supper
 What can your young men do?' quer- fed young German. when his opinion on the subject was asked for. Sup pose a man happens to arrive late at a dance. or if he Is a stranger and knows very few people, he finds all the ladies he would like to dance with have their programmes filled up. It has happened to myself more than once," he went on plaintively "As am a stranger often get invited to dances where I do not know people I find all the programmes filled and I can only get the chance of dancing with the young 1adies-well"- and politeness made him hesitate-"with those who do not dance very well, at least whose programmes are not filled up and these are the very ones I would rather not dance with. So I go on to the next dance or to supper. What will you?
 "In-Germany," he said, "it is altogether different. We do not dance through whole waltz with one person. The ladies who dance well, the beauties, promise as many as 20 men to dance the same waltz with them. A beauty floats lightly around the room with one fellow and then she smiles and bows to him, and one of the other 20, who are all watching, comes on and has perhaps one or more turns round the room. Then she Is not obliged to sit out between dances with the man with whom she has danced. She can send him about his business, very politely, of course. and sit out few minutes with one and few minutes more with an- other It is not at all that Germans dance better than Fnglishmen. 1t is mere 1y that there are far more opportunities for dancing and far more trouble taken to secure novelty and attractions for dances"

FOURTEEN POINT

 Texas But Fear Result of
 Bureau Report.
REPORTS ARE ALL BULLISH

New Orleans, July 31.-Spot cotton quiet and unchanged; middling, 12 s-16c. Sales on the spot, 300 bales; to arrive, none.
 Futures opened steady at a decline of to 10 points on an accumulation of sell ing orders over night. Leading longs in both American markets appeared to be selling out over both the weekend and the bureau report on condition Monday. No attention was paid to a very bullish visible supply statement nor to the worst reports of drouth and heat of the season ing prices strengthened somewhat but to- ward the end of the session a burst of selling occurred and the closing was at the lowest of the day, IA points below the level of yesterdays closing.
 The bulls had the best of the trading in the future market this week to the ex- tent of s1 a bale, the active deliveries closing 20 to 22 points higher than last weeks closing. During the greater DOT ton of the week prices were the best part of s2 a bale up, but the slump right at the weekend cut down the net ad- vance. Expectations of another bullish bureau report on condition next Monday was the chief cause for higher prices. Little attention was paid to weather news, which was bullish, because of the interest in the bureau figures.
 Spots closed 5-16c higher than last week with middling at 12 3-1sc. which was also the highest quotation of the week. Sales on the spot amounted to 330 bales, against 3275 last week, to arrive 405 bales, against 225 last week,

WHEAT MARKET IS SOMEWHAT HIGHER July Wheat Winds Up Season
 At About $l.06 CASH WHEAT Is STRONG Corn Is Influenced by Wheat and After Little Squirt the Close Is Weak. Oats Close Steady and Pro-
 visions Firm.
CASH WHEAT IS STRONG

Chicago, July 81-July wheat, which during the height of its activity this month went to $1.29 and thereby attracted heavy shipments of all the wheat that could be raked and scraped from country granaries, wound up today with a final quotation of $1.057s1 .0e, 11s@1Ssc under yesterday. September closed 1s0s4o up and the general tone of the market was stronger Corn and oats were steady; provisions firm.
 The final delivery of wheat on July con- tracts today was 100000 bushels. The former bull leader took 1t and entered the market as buyer of September options passing his action on the strength of the cash situation in the southwest Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour were equal to 1900 bushels. Primary receipts az gregated 1,222, 900 bushels, compared with 1,02S, 600 bushels a year ago. The trade looks for decrease in the weeks visible supply, 1t being calculated that decreases 1 nthe northwest will more than offset in creases elsewhere.
 July corn starting weak failed to i'm prove and closed %c under yesterday at 6s1sc September dropped to e57sc, but recovered on buying credited to country buyers, closing at 66Q661sc. The session was dull; cash corn in the sample market was H@11ac lower. but this had little effect on the shipping demand. Cov- ering by belated shorts near the opening sent July to roc. but when this demand was satisfied the price resumed its nor nal level.
 July oats closed the month with a gain over yesterday of Bc due to cover ing; September closing 1sc, December unchanged and May ;c lower. The cash market was dull
 A bulge of 10c in prices at the stock yards stiffened the prices of hog prod ucts, but there was little trading done save the buying of few October ribs by packers. Pork closed from 5c to 121kc higher; lard 71sc lower to 71ac higher, and ribs from 21hc lower to 2hc higher.

NEW HIGH RECORDS
 IN MANY STOCKS Bull Market Is Still Making Headway In Wall Street RAILROAD STOCKS HIGH Bank Statement Is a Disappointment But Money Is So Plentiful
 That It Cuts No
 Real Figure.
BY THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.

New York; July 31.-(Special.)-The compulsory bull market. which Wall street Is carrying on in obeyance to the Aldrich currency law, continued today Wall street has been taught to obey the federal laws, and as law-abiding citizens every banker and broker of the street is buying stocks. Under the terms of the Aldrich law the bull market must con- tinue for about two years.
 Incidentally there were new high rec ords today in Steel Union Pacific and Atchison and Reading. Steel Is advanc- ing as a result of the direct statements by insiders of big earnings and divi- dends to be increased. AS already an nounced in this column Steel common is to be put on a 4 per cent basis in Oc- tober and per cent in January. Strength of the trust shares Is bracing up the in- dependents. Wall street believes there are sveeral speculative bargains in the inde- pents list.
 Atchison and Baltimore and Ohio are coming forward on what seems to be good reasons. When Baltimore and Ohio took over the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton certain promises were made re- garding an increased tonnage out of Pittsburg. The boom in the steel busl- ness makes the position of Baltimore and Ohio especially strong as result of this agreement. Atchison will be the direct beneficiary of the largest corn crop In the history of the country.
 The bank statement was something of a disappointment in the exact figures as the known movements of money indi- cated a gain in cash but money is so plentiful that few millions more or less cuts no figure. Several tons of the new emergency currency have been printed ready for distribution so that Wall street need give no thought to the money rate.
 Number of shares sold today, so616O; a year ago, Al, ,22S.
 Par value of bonds sold today, s2,730 900; a year ago, $1.187,000.
 Baltimore and Ohio will show net earn ings for 1909 amounting to s977 a mile in excess of dividend requirements at the present rate of earnings, according to a special letter put out today by w. R. Holligan & Go. This compares with a deficit of $343 mile in 1908.
 The Southern Iron and Steel company will build a new rod mill with a capacity of 25 per cent greater than the old one. The mill will cost about 100000 and is expected to be ready for operation about July 1.
 Pennsylvania earnings on lines direct Jy operated during June show an increase in gross of s1267,5Oo and an increase in

LOYAL lRlsHMEN'
They May Scrap, But They Don't Go
 Back on Their Friends.

From the New York Evening Journal. There was rather an interesting little think in the Gould case-the case of Mrs. Howard Gould suing her bus band for separation. Attention Is called 10 the matter, curiously enough, by an Englishman, who writes to the editor Of the Evening Journal as follows:
 Here is funny thing. Every servant who testified against Mrs. Gould, their former mistress, was an Englishman. Ev- cry servant who stood by her was an Irishman. Is 1t possible that the lower a white-lievered cur altogether? Isn't 1t a fact that, while certain serv- ants, such as the English, are preferred by society people. because of their hu- mility and because of their willingness to prostrate themselves at the feet Of their mistress. that sort of self-desradation Is invariably accompanied by loss of man. hood-the kind of manhood that would in- duce a man to protect a mistress much as he would his own family7 l guess most of the follies of the rich carry with them their own punishment"
 Very sensible letter Indeed, to come from an Englishman or anybody else man points out.
 We do not think that all English serv- ants, or the lower class Englishman in general, represent "a white-lfvered cur - nothing as bad as that. There are plenty of Englishmen as independent as any man that ever walked. Enough of them have gone to the scaffold for a principle to prove that.
 But 1t does seem to be fact that there is more intense loyalty in tho lrishman. the Celt, of whatever social or intellectual grade, than in the Englishman. IL doesn't date from yesterday. It k a peculiarity that goes far back into the carly days, before the Irish were ever in Ireland, when they were Celts roaminf around in tho Balkans, dashing down to Greece and adding blue-eyed babies to the population, fighting in Spain. and gen. erally making themselves actively obnox- ious.
 Those half-savage chiefs that appeared before Alexander the Great were Celts. Irishmen. the same as the 1rishmen to- day. When he asked them what they that they would say. We are afraid of your awful majesty" they replied. we are afraid that the sky will fall on us nothing else."
 Some Irishmen have been slow to learn very much about astronomy or about the fact that the sky couldn't fall, even to this day. They have also been slow to learn servility.
 The man who has an Irishman working for him may find a flrst-class strike on his hands, He may even live to see his Irish employe rise up and hit him on the head where question of dignity fa involved. But you won't find the Irish servant or employe, or any other lr1sh' man, as rule turning on those for whom they have professed friendship.
