EDISON'S INVENTIVE
GENIUS HITS SNAG
How TO Be Happy Though Idle

Never Can Solve.

West Orange. y. J.. March % -Thomas
4. Edison, inventor OF many remarkable
things. needs 10 invent way In which
he can enjoy vacation, for he isn't
having any fun on his present lay-of at
HE winter home, in Fort Meyer. Fla
He left here four weeks ago for six
weeks rest. HIS secretary, William n.
Meadowcroft, has Just received a letter
from Mr.. Edison saying that he longs 70
get back 10 his laboratory.
Soon after the inventor reached Florida
he lost interest IN idleness and sent for
batch OF records, TO be placed in the un-
derbrush Of the Everglades so that ne
might obtain the songs Of the birds. Mr..
Edison set the records in motion b.
pressing button in his office, a mil"
away. The records will soon be put out
by the factory here.
In addition to this trifing enort. Nj
Fdisor, has invented a case for carrying
and shipping disk records without inJur-
ing them in the slightest. Necessity in
spIred the inventor 70 this. He has a.
most insisted on passing on every recorH
turned out from his factory. SeVefal
u,era made soon after he left for FLORIDA
and they had 10 be placed before him.
So they we're sent to him for his approval
He noticed that they were subjected 10
rather rough treatment-though they had
not been damaged-so he just invented
case 10 protect them in transit.
In one 81 his letters Mr.. Edison wrote.
"I hoped to get home next week. but
although / knew Mrs. Edison to have
plenty OF will power. she has never been
more determined in her life than she l.
now 10 keep me here. She says the rest
will do me good. But guess I'm not
meant for rest. for when I'm idle set
tired, and when I'm tired I'm out o.

REVIEW OF THE
CROP MARKETS
Corn Leads Advance in
Grain Prices - Cotton

The furry In corn. which carried prices
up about two cents a bushe. was the
principal feature OF the grain markets in
the week just ended. An improvement in
the cash demand. with light primary re-
ceipts. sent shorts TO cover. and there
was sharp upturn TO prices. AZ one
time Kansas City and Omaha were
stronger than New York or Chicago. In
the late trading there was a reactionary
tendency. with reports that buyers OF
cash corn in the interior We're not dis
posed 10 follow the advance Another in
fuence in checking the upturn was an in
creased pressure OF Argentine corn. Of
which there was considerable Offering.

feature Of the market was the weakness
crop contracts, with July contracts hold
ing relatively strong. There is strong
belief that the distant deliveries have
been selling al too big a discount and
that new wheat will be worth as mucn
in July as in May. The late trading was
under somewhat easier conditions, due 10
the unbroken excellence Of crop news and
predictions and the fact that foreign
markets were practically featureless. al
though Liverpool reported that offerings
of Russian wheat We're disappointingly
small and that there was an improvement

premium over MAY. The available stock
I'm the country decreased last week

This. however. had no effect on prices,

There has been little better demand

Cotton's Advance.

There has been n sharp rise I'm cotton
prices, due mainly 10 covering by March
and May shorts. with some undoing of
straddles and some new trade buying.
The rise followed reaction from the
high prices of the previous week, which
naturally induced consideraole profit TAX
ing. but when prices had been carried
down II TO 20 points from the high OF the
previous Saturday trade buying sent the
market up again. March contracts went
% points over May at one time during
the week. MAY at the same time being =
points over July. Bear operators who
were responsible for bringing lot or
cotton to this market for delivery on
contracts which the classification COM
mittee OF the exchange rejected as being
unfit for any classification were badly
caught in the upturn, having been COM
pelled to cover their contracts at heavy
losses
The rise Of the market on the publica-
ton OF the Census Bureaus production
figure, on Friday was a surprise 10 some
outsiders but was entirely natural In
view of the reaction the figures caused
from the effects of the abnormally large
predictions which had been insisted on BY
some statisticians While the crop is the
second largest In the history Of the trade
il is by far the most valuable, its aggre-
gate value at present prices being well
over 100000. 600 Attacks by Southern
Senators on the New York Cotton Ex-
change have had little effect. and the
exchange has sustained the inspection
bureau. against which complaints or
nverstrlctness had been made.

Coffee Declining.

Trading in coffee has not been active
al any time and. although futures We're
stronger for time on covering hy

ciai complications in Brazil have had an
effect on the local market. as, although
the markets there have held compare
lively steady. there have been evidences
OF a desire TO sell, which were taken 10

present conditions strong holders might
be expected 20 keep their supplies. Late
i'm the week there was more stead!ness
and the market was inactive, with price

fact that the Brazilian crop movement
so far has aggregated 12,2Ss,000 Lays
AGAINST lO.2s4.O00 bags last year.
In the country produce markets the
sharp declines in eggs and butter have
been the principal features, with other
supplies generally sagging. Potatoes
and apples are lower, and stuff from the
south has generally been OF quality
below the standard required TO bring top
