TOURIST TRAVEL Is FIFTH
FORM OF BASIC WEALTH

The following address was given

posed of organizations not operating
for profit, but Interested in encour-
aging travel in America.
The people of America must begin
TO realize now that there Ia q fifth
form of basic wealth, perhaps more
extensive and more valuable than the
other four. We have always looked
upon minerals, fish, lumber and ag-
riculture only as our fundamental
natural resources from which all our
industries have been developed.
To these must be added the fifth,
namely. our wealth OF natural seem
cry. For, just as our other resources
are the raw material for vast indus
tries. so is our wonderful scenery
the raw material for one OF the great
est that has been developing during
the past few years-the tourist in
dustry, the revenues from which are
almost as great as those from any
one single industry in America today.
To the ordinary mind the tourist
travel will never be classed as an In
dustry. but just the same. It un-
doubtedly is a vast and important
one. Its development is dependent

because 1t is lovely land, beautiful

New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, May 26.--Fairly wide ad- vances were scored by cotton today, the market being bought heavily on a private report on condition of CPS DOT cent of normal, and later, on the weekly crop returns from the government, which were not as favorable as expected. The private bureau report attracted all the more at tention because along with 1t was an estimate of 1 per cent decrease in the acreage and indicated crop figures of S. 95o, 900 bales. Around the opening the market fell off to 19 points under poor ca bles, but this decline was quickly re- covered and replaced by net advance which finally was widened to 50 to 57 points.
 Late in the day there were small re- sessions under better crop accounts from Texas and last prices were at net gains for the day of 40 to 42 points.
 Considerable short covering was done in the early part of the session, but in the late trading shorts commenced to put out new lines again on the theory that the advance had gone far enough.
 They received encouragement from Texas accounts, stating that during the last few days of improved weather the crop had made fast progress. The fore cast of dry weather for the entire belt also caused selling, but offerings at no time were sufficient to give the market an easy tone. July sold down to 37.64 in the early trading and then arose to 3S.27.

CONDITION FIGURES IN COTTON
 WERE VERY BULLISH
General List Closed Steady on the Later Deliveries, While October Closed
 at 35.34c
By Associated Press

>ew York, May 26.-Very bullish privatS condition and crop figures led to sharp advance in the cotton market here to- day. There was a good deal of realizing around 55.47c for October, or about o2 points above last nights closing quotation and lS2 points above the recent low level, however, and the improvement was not fully maintained October closed at S5.S4c, with the general list closing steady on the later deliveries.
 The market opened steady at a decline of point on July, but generally to 2o points higher on the firmer showing or southwestern spot markets late yester- day and continued covering.
 Liverpool and New Orleans sold here, however, and orders were pretty well divided, with active months working about to 12 points net lower right after the call. The market then turned firmer on a private report making the condition of the crop only CPS per cent, with a de- crease of 12 per cent in acreage and an indicated yield of only 9950,000 bales. Liverpool rallied on these figures and be- came buyer here, while there was active covering by recent sellers which carried July up to SS.2ic and the general list I<about s to 50 points, but the details of the report seemed less favorable than the summary, and some of the late months made new high ground for the day, dur Ing the middle of the afternoon with De- cember selling at 34.4Sc, or 60 net points higher Later fluctuations were irreSu- lar, with last prices showing reactions of several points under realizing, which was probably promoted by the talk of short time in some of the New England textile centers Ports today, 71,6l4.

ADVANCES IN VALUE OF CORN AND OATS
 TOOK PLACE IN PIT
Corn Went Up Several Cents, as Did Oats, While Provisions
 Strengthened
By Associated Pres,

Chicago, May 26.-Fresh advances in value of corn and oats took place to- day largely as a result of statements by Herbert Hoover regarding the prospective food situation. Corn closed strong, 2B&4hc net higher, with July s1.6sA @1.ss% and septem- ber 57M&1.57A. Oats gained IS O 1Ac to s1sc and provisions 1o@7Oc.
 Except the May delivery, the corn market showed an upward trend from tho outset A ruling that because of the breakdown of railroad transporta- ton no penalty would be exacted from defaulters on May contracts here had bearish effect at<first on that month July and September deliveries, how ever. continued responsive to the per- slstent meagerness of corn receipts here and to renewed export demand fer wheat Meanwhile. widespread mo- tice was being taken of MT. Hoover's assertion that decrease in agricultural production might result in this coun- try becoming dependent on overseas food supplies. Buying power broad . ened out and simultaneously offerings grew scarce. From midday on all months advanced sharply and the close was at the top figures of the session.
 Oats descended with corn. Shippers were good buyers. Higher quotations on grain and hogs lifted provisions. Bidders for July pork especially found no offerings until a big advance was psid.

Daily Wall Street Gossip
BY HOLLAND.

New York, May 26.-(Special.)- lon the way down from Albany yesterday afternoon the chief executive of one of the larger industries in the vicinity of New York observed as he looked from the car window several freight trains following tandum, one after the other, the engines of which were drag ging apparently empty cars. It was an unusual sight, because not for some months has there been a large move ment of freight trains upon the rail- roads of the east Upon inquiry he learned that these care are being moved as rapidly as possible to the west, part of them to be used in haul
 ing coal to the eastern markets and another part in transporting wheat. which has long been in storage in the west, to the eastern ports.
 This manufacturer was especially gratified because he has been appre- hensive for several weeks that he might be compelled to close down part of his plant for lack of coaE due to freight congestion. Eastern railway managers received early information that the interstate commerce commits sion would act almost drastically and as the government acted in war days in order to relieve freight congestion and to quicken into life many of the east ern industries which were in danger of prostration for lack of coal.
 Acting upon this intimation the eastern railway managers were able with the labor which they continue to employ and fortified by the interstate commerce commission to send out cars, whereas. on the other hand. the west ern railroad managers prepared to send some forty thousand coal carry ing cars to the mines, knowing that these cars could be routed over the most inconvenient lines and in spite of any agreement made with con- signers of the freight.
 Out of the east there will roll for the next thirty days towards the great western food storage warehouses per haps as many as thirty thousand cars. These cars will be used in transporting wheat and other food to the eastern market and no matter what consigners may say, the cars will be shipped over the most convenient route.
 RAILROADS AND PEOPLE Just as the people acting spon- taneously and irresistably are forcing reduction from the high price of many commodities so at last the gov ernment, through the interstate com merce commission, has so acted as to
  sand freight cars which for some months have stood idle in the yards. Furthermore the government gives au- thority to move these cars over any available route and, acting on that authority, the railroads will be pro- tected from any suit for damages which otherwise consignors might in stitute.
 The railroad men themselves and the Washington authorities believe that this action of the government to- gether with the cooperation of the railroad managers will be likely so to eliminate the congestion so that transportation will become fairly nor nal by July 1.
 Many manufacturers in the east will be rejoiced to learn that the strong arm of the government has at last been used so as to make it possible

 New York, May 26.-Reports Of lower milreis prices in Brazil and compara- lively large Rio receipts led to further scattering liquidation in the market for coffee futures here today.
