RENEWED STRENGTH
 DEVELOPS IN CORN Sharp Upturns in Foreign Exchange and Damage to
 Oat Crop Cause Advance
By Associated Press


 Chicago, July 19.-Renewed strength de- veloped in the corn market today, owing to sharp upturns in roreign exchange rates and to reports or irreparable dam age to the oats crop. The close was un- settled, ssddssc net higher, with septem- her $1.so5sG1 9O7s, and December s1610 1.611s Oats finished 2ssd25sc up, and pro- visions varying from TUG decline to BOG advance. Until the lasr hour pessimistic views of economic conditions tended to keep sentiment bearish rn regard to corn and so likewise did the fine weather. Declines, however, led to an improve ment in domestic shipping demand, with consequent buying on the part of shorts and commission houses. At this iuncture the fact that sterling excnange had risen to s444 after having gone as low as S426A gave an advantage to the bulls Meanwhile the oats market was climbing rapidly and throughout the rest of the day the fact became more and more evil dent that for at leas. the time being corn had been oversold.
 Radically unfavorable crop advices led to buying of oats on q broad scale Word that export bids for oats were out or line received but little attention
 Provisions swayed with corn. Later difficulties at the stock yards had only a transient bearish effect.

CONTINUED RAINS
 BRING SHARP RISE All Deliveries Make New High Records, October
 Selling Up to 35.95
By Associated Press

By Associated Press
 New York, July 19.-The continuation of rains in the eastern belt caused a fur
 ther sharp advance in the cotton market this morning, and all deliveries made new high records. October sold up to 8 .95c, or 55 points above last nights closing hgures and approximately slO per bale above the low level of last Thursday morning. Reactions of several points followed but the market closed steady at 35.7Oc for October or 30 to 4S points net higher on the general list.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 15 to 32 points and soon sold 43 to 65 points above last nights closing figures on active general buying. A good part of the demand was attributed to cov- ering or the replacing of long contracts sold earlier in the week on the reports of improving crop conditions. There was also buying believed to be for foreign and domestic trade interests, which had a tendency to increase the nervousness of shorts, and the reports of steadier tone in foreign exchange were also factor on the advance. January contracts sold up to 3579c, but around these figures there was a good deal of profit-taking for over the weekend and later fluctua- tions were irregular. Except for realiz- ing, selling was probably held in check by the prospect for further showers or rains in eastern belt sections tonight and tomorrow, and apprehensions that the unfaxorable weather and crop news would cause a big advance in Liverpool be- fore the local opening on Monday.
 Reports from the goods trade indicated there had been some falling off in the volume of business during the week. but most authorities attributed to small of ferings rather than to a diminished de- mand.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, July 19-Wet weather in the belt put the price of cotton higher today on a fairly active market for the weekend session, although late in the day the disposition was to sag off from the high levels under realizing. The new crop months went to new high records being stronger than July.
 The opening was at the advance and the rise continued until July was g points up and the new crops were 53 to 60 up.
 Realizing of profits on new crop con- tracts and liquidation by July longs who were nervous over reports of large tenders next week caused reaction, so that July closed at net loss Of 20 points while the new crops were at new gains of B to 4S points. At their highest both October and December traded at 35.4S, while July rose only to 35.1o. Spots were advanced to 50 points which raised the quotation on middling to 34.50.
 The weather map was wet and the mar ket opened at higher levels on 1t, but the heaviest buying followed the forecast of generally showery weather for the belt. While the marine strike excited unfa- vorable comment, it seemed to be balanc- ed by a better feeling regarding the for eign exchange market.

and bedevilment until it reached the

behold it.
At this point, in order to prepare you
for the sad, sad tale that is to fol-

There was a young fellow named

Who went on some ladies to call
He took off his hat
And sat on the cat
This clever young fellow named
Small"
Read the above poem carefully at
least three times before attempting
to face the sad. sad story-which is
this: One evening. as Mr.. Reed was
about to seat his 275 pounds in his easy
chair. his daughter espied comfortably
asleep there the pet cat. There was
but one thing to do--jerk the chair
from under him-and she did it.
Down went glorious Tom with a re-
sounding thump. Arising. as unruffled

COULDN'T GET MAD AT REED
No one ever got really mad at Tom for
these sallies 1t is impossible to get really
mad at 275 pounds Of amiability, and CON
servative guessers set Toms weight at
that figure, though he used to say, My
weight? Two hundred, sir. Two hundred.
No gentleman weighs more than two

Only 275-pounder could have wallope
his fellow creatures as Reed did, and come
off alive OF two particularly cantanker-
Gus representatives, he said, They never
open their mouths without subtracting
from the sum of human knowledge and
when a bitter partisan interrupted him
with fool query, he replied, The gem
tleman from Maryland is of course not
the flower of our intelligence, but he
knows better than 70 ask such ques-
ton" Inquiring as to tie condition of
very sick member, Reed was told that
the poor fellow was out of his head and
didn't know what he was talking about
Then he ought to come up to the House" "
said Reed.
Among the admirers of Theodore Roose-
welt there is none more ardent than my
self, and yet Theodore had an amusing
way of laundering out antediluvian plati-
tudeS and you cant blame the humor-
lists for poking Yum. When Mr.. Roosevelt
had held forth in Paris, a Partisan took
him off by writing, in profound tones,
Rich folks have more money than poor
folksi Fathers of large families have
more children than fathers of small fam
lilies! The wise know more than the fool
ishi Good men are more virtuous than
bad meni" In pretty much that MOOD
Tom drew Mr.. Roosevelt aside, one day,
and said to him gravely, Theodore, If
there is one thing more than another for
which I admire you, It is for your criSi-
nal discovery of the Ten Command
ments."
On another occasion, Reed complained
that Russell of Massachusetts failed to
grasp the theory of a five-minute de-
bate. Said Tom: THE object is to con-
vey to the House in the space of FIVE
minutes either information or misinfor-
nation. You have consumed several
periods of five minutes this afternoon
without doing either" And when Cox
