in 1817, massachusetts member thomas humphrey cushing's life was spared when a pistol ball from his adversary struck his pocket watch. now, it's interesting that while talking about groups that were trying to end dueling, we find that in 1838, former south carolina governor john lyde wilson published an update and expansion to the 1777 irish code duello. this book was even reissued in 1758 and 1873. so much for diminishing the practice of dueling. here are some more statistics with the fatality rate off to the side. the decrease in the number of duels recorded in the second and third decades of the 19th century has been attributed to the so-called era of good feeling that followed the war of 1812 during which partisan political tensions lessened. in the south especially, the impoverished former aristocracy had to focus their time on more important things such as feeding their families. settling personal scores was not high on their list. but back to the society of the cincinnati for a moment. i came across an interesting story that i'd like to share with you. we have seen that the society of

cushing, oklahoma supplies are at the lowest level we've seen probably in over 20 years and that really drove that market up but getting back to the grains too the other thing you have to blame on the grain market is this dollar. we talk about the trump tweets and the trade war killing the price of gains. a lot of it has to do with a very strong dollar which president trump came out against , and part of it is really the farmers being very good at growing crops. they're growing an incredible crop and at the end of the day, i don't care trade war or no trade war, people are going to eiten china, trust me. u.s. exports surged last week on the lower grain prices so it's not all about the trade war. there are other factors at play. ashley: very good point we're already out of time, tillerson, phil and chris as always gentlemen thank you very much we appreciate it. >> thank you. ashley: let's check the dow 30 map for you big blue, ibm at the bottom investors taking profits after the company was the biggest gainer yesterday, up a strong second quarter earnings report. there it is, down 2.87.
