to make their influence felt in its
councils and deliberations. The adj
vent of men like Theodore E. Burton
of Ohio, Benjamin f. Shively of In
diana, Elihu Root of New York, George
e. Chamberlain of Oregon and Albert
B. CumminS of Iowa will tend to send
to the rear the ancient custom of ''haZ-
ing new arrivals in this the most
honorable and dignified body in the
world. 1t would seem foolish to try
such tactics on men whose govern
mental experience is known to qualify
them so well for their new duties. Mr..
CumminS, though he took his seat dur
ing the present congress, filling the
chair left vacant by the death of Sen
ator Allison, Is counted among the
newcomers, as he is so recent an ar
Mr.. Allison's unexpired term, but has
now been chosen by the Iowa legisla-
ture for full term. Among other new
corners will be Wesley L. Jones of the
state of Washington, who has served
as representative at large for his state
during several congresses. He is
Republican, fortyfive years Of age and
a native of Illinois. Then there will
be the successor of the veteran Senator
Teller Of Colorado, Charles J. Hughes.
He is lawyer Of Denver and Demo
Graf. Joseph L. Bristow Of Kansas is
another new man.
Perhaps the best known of the new
senators will be Elihu Root. who as
secretary of war and secretary of state.
and particularly in the latter office, has
been one of the leading factors in the
administration now drawing to close
Mr.. Roots service at the head of the
state department will be especially re-
membered for his efforts to draw
closer the bonds of friendship be-
tween North and South America, a
work in which he followed in the steps
of another brilliant secretary of state,
James G. Blaine. Mr.. Root stands in

and all that He knows the agricul-
tural energies Of both banks and how
much freight they will supply. Above
all, he knows the probable cost of i'm
provement and if the game is worth
the candle.
The election Of George E. Chamber
lain to succeed Charles w. Fulton as
senator from Oregon was singular
circumstance, as the legislature which
chose him is Republican and he is a
Democrat He is the governor Of the
state, and his election as senator Is
due to the working Of the new primary
law of the commonwealth. A major
ity of the members of the legislature
were pledged to elect him. NOtwith-
standing this a determined effort was
made to defeat him.
The senator elect from Oregon was
born near NatcheZ, Miss, in 1854 and
graduated from Washington and Lee
university. He settled in Oregon In
1876 and taught school for three years,
In 1870 taking up the practice Of law.
He has served in the legislature and
as attorney general.
Benjamin F. Shively, who was elect
ed senator from Indiana after an ex-
citing contest in the legislature Of the
state, has been voted for several times
before for this office by his party as
sociates. but always up to this time
when the latter were in the minority,
so that their ballots for him constitut-
ed only a complimentary vote. This
time the Democrats possessed ma
jority of the votes on joint ballot in
the legislature In the party caucus
Mr.. Shively won over his principal OPP
ponent, John w. Kern, late Democratic
candidate for vice president, after
many ballots had been taken. He
will succeed James a Hemenway in
the senate. The senator elect is the
idol Of South Bend and by birth, bring
ing up and subsequent developments
a Hoosier of Hoosiers. He is six feet
two inches tall. broad sbouldered. open
faced and open handed.
He went to the public school of
South Bend. where he was a leader
among his fellow students, and then
went to the law school of the Univer-
sity of Michigan and repeated tho
trick. He graduated there in 1856, not
at the head of his class enthusiastically
but practically so in popularity. In
between college terms he taught pub
lie school and tried the edges of jour
nalism. At thirty-five he went to the
house Of representatives and served In
the Forty-eighth, Fiftieth. Firty-fr
and Fifty-second congresses. being one
of the most prominent Of the Demo
cratic leaders.

Theodore e. Burton, who will sue
coed Joseph Benson Foraker as sena-
tor from Ohio, is generally admitted to
be exceptionally well qualified for SEN
atorial service by reason of his long
experience In legislative matters as a
member of the house Of representa-
tives. He first entered this body in
1889 and has served continuously there
since, with the exception of the inter
val from 1891 to 1895. He was born In
1851 and is a bachelor. His attain
ments in finance caused him to be
talked of as secretary Of the treasury
In the next cabinet. He is an expert
on the tariff, on our natural resources,
on the navy and on many other sub
jects. In fact, as walking dictionary
he has few equals in congress. AS to

the house and senate together know as
much on the subject as Mr.. Burton.

STEADY TONE IN
 WHEAT MARKET
Reports of Damage in North
 Dakota Aid Advance
SENTIMENT IS BEARISH
Forecast of Bad Weather In the Corn Belt Causes Decline of Nearly a cent-oats Close Easy.
 Provisions Irregular.

Chicago, August 17-Damage reports from North Dakota offset weak cables and caused steady tone in the wheat market here at the close today Corn closed weak; oats easy and provisions IT, regular
 The wheat market opened weak with prices unchanged to ssc lower owing to a decline of 1AQ1d at Liverpool. During the greater part of the day sentiment was inclined to the bear side of the market, but in the final hour a firmer feeling de- veloped because of confirmation of reports of damage by wet weather to the wheat crop in the northwestern part of North Dakota.
 A slump in corn and an easier tone In the market for the cash grain were additional factors that prompted con- siderable selling. Trade in general was of light volume. The close was steady with prices a shade to 1sd14c higher com- pared with the previous close.
 An official forecast of unsettled wealth CT over the greater part of the corn belt for tonight and tomorrow inspired liberal realizing sales in thecorn market which resulted in declines of practically 1c in the price of all deliveries. Fresh reports of damage by hot weather were received and at times these advices caused slight rallies. Declines of 1s@ 1c in the better grades of cash corn and Pc in lower grades was a bearish fac tor. The market closed weak with the September delivery at the bottom and the future options only a trifle above the low mark.
 Oats were inclined to be weak nearly all day owing to selling brought out by improved weather for harvesting and threshing Local receipts were consider ably in excess of the estimated amount and prices at the sample tables were 5kc lower The market was bearishly affected by the slump in corn. The close was easy with prices a shade to AQasc lower than yesterdays last quotations.
 Provisions manifested considerable strength, particularly the nearby de- liveries. Local packers were the prin- cipal buyers, presumably against cash sales made over night. The demand brought out free purchases by shorts. At the close prices were 10c lower to soc higher, the latter advance being in September pork.

COTTON MARKET
 STILL BULLISH
Dry Weather in the Southwest
 Gives Prices a Boost
ALL NEWS IS BULLISH
Leading Spot House Buys Heavily, Fol- lowed By General Buying and Prices Are Carried Up
 13 to 18 Points.

New York, August 17.-There was further advance in the cotton market today, chiefly as a result it seemed of bullish news from the southwest and the market closed strong at a net gain of IS to IS points. The opening was firm at an advance of ' to 13 points and during the morning active months sold 15 to 16 points net higher in re- sponse to firm cables. reports of very high temperature in the southwest, ex- pectations of a bullish national gin- ners' report, scattered covering, a re- newal of foreign demand, and moder- ate support from some of the local bulls.
 During the middle of the day prices lively narrow market, but there was no change in the general character of the news and late in the afternoon prices reached a new high level for tn 8 day on active buying by one of the leading spot houses. It was estimated that this interest took fully 25,000 bales out of the market during the last half hour. Various theories were ad- vanced as to the cause of the buying, some claiming that 1t was on private wires reporting disastrous tempera- lures in the western belt; others that it was covering of the short end of straddles here, the long end of which would be sold out in Liverpool to- morrow. Last prices were within point or so of the top.
 Wires from the southwest reported that temperatures during the past 24 hours had reached the highest maxi mums for the past 15 years and some very bullish advices were received re- garding the effect of the hot weather on the crops. Southern spot markets officially reported early were un- changed to A higher. |

DOWNWARD TURN
 IN STOCK MARKET Standard issues Show Effect of
 Switch in Sentiment PRICES ARE TOO HIGH From the Outset the Market Is Irree-
From the Outset the Market Is Irreg- ular and Prices Decline With Slight Recovery Before
 the Close.

New York, August 1.-The reactionary tendency manifested by the stock market yesterday became more pronounced today with early declines in a majority of the standard issues. Sentiment appeared to have switched around very decidedly, all though surface conditions were for the most part unchanged There was re- currence of rumors regarding the health of prominent financier now abroad and the long-continued drouth in the Nebraska corn belt excited some apprehension. An other factor which initiated against resumption of bullish operations was the belief prevalent in conservative circles that the market had been going forward much too rapidly.
 From the very outset today's market was irregular, chiefly owing to series of bear attacks which converged largely around the Hartman issues. The only prominent issues to display steadiness were New York Central and Atchison. Transactions were again very large With London reported seller here to the ex- tent of 35,000 shares, chiefly the Harri- mans and United States Steel common. There was a general late recovery from the early heaviness which had its incep- ton in fresh buying movement in Union Pacific.
 The balance of the active list moved along in sympathy. the net result being gains which ranged from fractions In the Hartman issues to points in Chicago and Northwestern, and point Or more in Atchison, New York Central and the steel issues Illinois Central and Louisville and Nashville did not participate in the re- covery and some of the less active stocks, including American Cotton Oil registered material losses. Such general news as came to hand later in the day was large ly favorable, including the successful con- clusion of the Chinese loan with equal participation by our bankers, and further improvement in the steel and iron trade.
 There was also a statement from the chairman of the interstate commerce com mission predicting revival of the enor- nous railroad traffic of 1907 In the in- ternational banking circles there was talk of resumption of gold exports to Ar gentina The money market was very strong, with further indications of stiff fening of sales. Some call loans were again made at 21a per cent, but this was the maximum figure.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $3,SS0 0O0. Government bonds were unchanged.

New Orleans, August H.-Cotton spots quiet, unchanged; middling. 12 b-16c. Sales on the spot, 100 bales; to arrive, none.
 Futures opened steady at an advance of 12 to 13 points on very favorable cables and the worst weather reports of the sea- son from the western sections of the belt. Many Texas. Oklahoma and Arkansas points reported maximum temperatures for yesterday of from 100 to 11o degrees. Accompanying these were complaints of grave crop deterioration. The market held steady on this news nearly all day but around noon some weakness was displayed on the rumor that a prominent New York bull had sold the bear leader SC, 900 bales of October. During the last half hour of trading the market strength ened again on fear of more bad weather reports tomorrow morning. Prices rose to the highest of the day, 22 points over yesterdays last quotations. The closing was very steady at a net advance of 20 to 2 points.
