Banker in Overalls.

Corpus Christi. Tex, Sept. 10
Many women of Corpus Christi have
donned khaki-because they have
nothing else to wear.
Soldiers uniforms were plentiful
here-as in nearly every other city
and the women found them mighty
good clothing for relief work. Scores
OF women and girls lost their entire
wardrobes in the flood.
Slaves and clean clothing are the
rarest things in the city. Practically
every barber shop was washed away
and nobody has had time to shave
any way.
A banker. dressed in overalls, stood
beside the ruins of his establishment
today.
"A week ago 1 was pretty we'll

A newspaper owner-who lost every
thing, including his wardrobe, bor-
owed some nondescript clothing and

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Sept. 19-coRN-Lack of SELL
ing pressure rather than any aggrcs sive
buying appeared to be chiefly responsible
for noderate upturns which took place to-
day in the value of corn. The majority
of traders inclined to the view that the
recent big smash in grain quotations had
over discounted all bearish factors in corn
as compared with other commodities. on
tinued rainy weather tended further to lift
the market Opening prices, which ranged
from nc TO he higher with December
81; 251k91.26 and May ?S1a@1.2SA were
followed by slight additional gains and
then something of a reaction.
subsequently the market declined as a
result of more liberal offerings Much
Of the selling was on the part Of new longs
who were in a position to realize profits.
The close was weak, &c to INC net lower,
with December S1.23% to $1.23H and May
S1.21% to $1.21T.
OATS-Oats We're firm in sympathy with
corn. Most of the demand came from

PROVISIONS-Higher quotations on
hogs gave steadiness to provisions; trade,
however, lacked volume.
Subsequently the market eased down
when corn turned weak. Both domestic and
foreign shipping demand for provisions
was slow.

It is a task facing Fred Robertson,
United States attorney, at the session
of the United States court at Wichita
next week. Quantities of this widely
advertised patent medicine taken from
