QUEER PEOPLE

The house contractor is a man
Who works on a peculiar plan
Suppose a building he would raze
He pulls 1t down, so odd his waysi
The bakers an unselfish guy
Such altruism dims our eye
His bread he lets US have when he
Quite clearly kneads it more than we.
The walters name don't seem to fit.
We fail to see the sense of it;
He hurries 10 and fro with plates
The diner it's who really waits.
And there's the man who goes aroun'
With paste and brush and bills the
town;
Though paying work his way may fall
His business drives him to the wall

INAUGURATION GUESTS.
Railways Prepare for Heavy Travel
 to National CapitaIs

Washington, Jan. 25.-Railroads in all parts of the0country are prepar- ing for the heavy travel to the na- tion's capital for the inauguration of the first democratic president in the last twenty years, or the first since Grover Cleveland became the coun- trys executive for the second time. Several railway companies have filed their excursion rate tariffs with the interstate commerce commission for approval, the first batch arriving to- day.
 These excursica rates usually are one-way fare for the round trip with tickets good for thirty days. In some cases, where the time limit for the return is short. the fare is even less. The first rates were approved today. They were from New Orleans and Atlanta. From now until few days before inauguration day the commission expects to receive aud approve many such special or eX- cursion rates.

MEMPHIS. June 7.-Attention of
the cotton trade for the past few days
has been turned to the Governments
first crop condition report and the
Improvement since the date to which
that document was compiled. The
first came Monday morning and was
bomb in the camp of the spectators
who were bearish and who had been
calmly waiting for the report before
selling the market. It's figures were
several points under expectations, for
ideas had been formulated from the
numerous private reports issued dur
ing the previous week, the average of
which was near SO per cent of a nor
NAL or perfect crop. Most of the cot
ton world looked for the official re-
port to be close to that, and when it
was flashed 1911, or two-tenths of a
point better than the official condition
for the same date a year ago, surprise
was general. 1t was g under the ten
year average and was admittedly
bullish when measured against other
records.
But there was a lack Of confidence
in the official findings. for the trade
has learned in the past few years that
the average of the private reports and
estimates is worth as much credenct
as the ones coming from Washington.
The marked improvement in crop
condition since May 25 was another
factor that figured prominently and
checked the bullish effect Of the re-
port.
General Tone Improves.
The result of the situation was that
the market did not change much. but
an Improvement in tone has been wit
messed and there has been less dis
position to increase the short interest
Foreign spinning and trade interests
have been absorbing contracts and
the spot department of the market has
not displayed the weakness that some
predicted would follow the improved
outlook for the new crop and the con-
tinued depression that pervades a

tions-Visible Supply Goes Down.

certain part of the business of this
country.
Business in spots has been small,
yet the movement out of sight has not
been indicative of spinners being
averse to paying ruling prices. The
domestic spinners still hold off, but
foreigners are taking enough to keep
the visible supply going down. The
stock in New York hag been further
reduced, and one % the latest re-
ports is that more of it will soon be
shipped abroad, thus leaving July
shorts With meager protection. Move
ment in the belt is small, but exports
are running ahead of year ago at
this time, which means that takings
by spinners will not fall off 30 abrupt
" for some time. Prices in the belt
are holding around II 5-8c to II 1-Sc
for middling upland, which is much
above contract basis.
Conditions Steadily Better.
That the market has not weakened
appreciably shows that the excellent
news from the fields has not been the
sole influence. There has been no
discordant note of importance for
nearly two weeks in the crop news,
and 1t is generally believed that even
with the Government condition Of 1911
for May rs correct, there has been an
improvement of several points since.
Information reaching here has been
almost uniformly favorable, though,
as usual there have been extremists
who try to paint the picture in terms
that are too brilliant. The weekly
weather report on Tuesday was bit
worse than expected, telling Of too
little rain in a limited section and Of
Oklahoma needing moisture because
of high tempera lures, but in part
those conditions have been relieved
already.
In the territory contiguous to this
center the prospects are better than
in some years. In view of several
very moderate crops of the staple in
succession, there is no objection to a
bountiful yield this season.

Public Yet Refuses

CHICAGO, June THE wheat

though there has been enough unfa-
vorable crop news from Kansas 20
have driven every farmer and elevator
owner in the State into the Chicago
pit on the buying side. These condi-
tions have given the big short in this
market a hold on the situation, and
he has made the most of it. The big
shorts have thrown overheard an
enormous quantity of the grain and
stand as buyers only on the sharp
price losses, when handsome profits
are available.
Corn and oats have held up well
during the week just closed, with the
late planting of the former and the
unfavorable crop conditions surround
ing the latter as the principal help to
the owners of those grains. There is
a big open interest in both these ce-
reals, with the bulls well-known men

views OF Professor Irving Fisher, Of
the chair Of political economy at Yale.
Professor Fisher, says the late re-
ports to-day, is the mysterious infiu-
ence that has been at work at the
White House In the shaping Of the
financial measure for which the cOun-
try so earnestly waits.
There is only one known fact re
garding the currency upon which
there is any agreement.
Present System Wrong.
The present system is wrong.
Everybody from Nelson W. Aldrich
10 William J. Bryan, not forgetting
TO stop at intermediate mental sta
tions. starts with that hypothesis. SO.
as everybody has an idea concerning
what ought TO be done to change the
system, the personality OF the man
who is reported TO have so much
weight with the President is extreme
ly interesting.
The most notable money view OF
the professor In recent years is that
in which he asks the country TO
Make the purchasing power OF the
dollar stable in terms OF commodi-
ties"
or. In other words. to make gold
stand hitched to the other products
OF the world so that the value Of all
the products, and not the value OF
gold alone, win be made the standard.
Change Value Of Dollar.
In furtherance OF this idea, he ad 70
vocated that when a man comes 10

now get 500 fiat, the superintendent
Of the mint would take a list OF

Later adVces from sections Of the
cotton belt indicated that the crop is

with the weather map showing heavy
