IN CHICAGO NOW
READY TO TltADE
Chicago, Dec. 1.—A new center
of cotton trading was opened here
today on the Chicago board of
trade, and shortly after 9 o’clock,
the time set for the ceremonies
surrounding the advent of King
■Cotton to a Northern market cen
ter, wires were clicking with the
first cotton quotation prices.
Government officials, business
and financial leaders of the east
and southwest sections of the
country and Mayor William E.
Dever, of Chicago, participated in
the ceremonies and Frank L.
Carey, president of the Chicago
board of trade, made the initial
•cotton transaction in the new
market.
Many years of agitation have
finally succeeded in creating a
cotton futures market in the Chi
cago district.
Early last summer following a
series of conferences with govern
ment representatives the board of
trade voted the new market into
life. It will operate under the
United States cotton futures act, *
and its success may mean the
erection of a new board of trade
building at the foot of La Salle
’
street. ,

as a
tinct advantage to the southwest

COTTON MARKET
DUEL EAST WEEK
New Orleans, Dec. 1.—The past
week in cotton has been a period
of only moderate activity and lim
ited fluctuations by comparison
with most of the weeks of the
present season that have gone bar
fore.
While the January position at
one time during the week traded
as high as 24.64 and at another
time as low as 23.55, the final
closing price on Saturday of 23 61
was only 33 points below the clos
ing of the previous Saturday.
Good Advance Earig.
The first part of the weeK wit
nessed a fairly good advance due
mainly to the prompt stopping of
uncommonly heavy notices for De
cember delivery issued on Monday.
Although the total' notices issued
in the local market call for the
delivery of about 35,000 bales, it
is not improbable that considera
bly more cotton than that Vill be
tendered before the December op
tion runs its course.
The certified stock here has been
rapidly increasing until it now
stands more than 60,000 bales.
The stoppage of notices for
about 160,000 bales in the north
ern market helped to stimulate
values and the result of the first
December notice day in both mar
kets was mainly responsible for
the advance in the first days of

the week of about 70 points.
Sags Wednesday.
On Wednesday the market com
menced to sag, however, largely
owing to the impending Thanks
giving holiday, but since the mar
ket re-opened on Friday the trend
of prices has been downward,
mainly because ideas as to the
size of the crop were expanding, it
being generally believed that the
yield of lint cotton will run well
over 13,000,000 bales. Recent pri
vate estimates have shown a lean
ing towards * larger figures and
traders now think that the final
estimate of the government due on
December 8 will show a crop con
siderably larger than the prelim
inary estimate of 12,992,000 bales
issued November 21.
While the trade considers that
there is an ample supply in pros
pect for all requirements this sea
son, there are many evidences that
consumption is steadily broaden
ing both at home and abroad.
The increase in exports this sea
son over last of 958,000 bales is
tangible proof of the enlarged
foreign demand.

FARMERS OF MONROE
MAY TRY TOBACCO
Forsyth, Dec. 1.—Following a
visit here of F. A. Ferguson, a
tobacco expert from North Caro
lina, who stated that the lands of
Monroe county are adapted to to
bacco growing, some of the farm
ers are investigating the advisa
bility of turning to that crop next
year.
Of the danger of overproduc
tion of tobacco, Ferguson stated
in a speech here that Georgia
furnishes new fields for this in
dustry and that the production of
tobacco would not be necessarily
increased, but would be changed
from one state to another.

New York, Dec. 1.—Foreshadow

A photographic negative was
placed in the photoradiographic
sending apparatus in Marconi

later the picture was received
complete in the New York offices
of the Radio Corporation of
America.
From Marconi House the pic
ture had been carded by wire 200
miles to the high-power radio
transmitting station at Carnarvon
Wales. From there it was flashed:
through the air to the wireless
receiving station at Riverhead,
L. I., and thence by wire again
to the offices of the R. C. A. in>

SEEN IN FRANCE
BY CHURCH HEAD
Paris, Dec. 1. — France is
threatened with a communist rev
olution, according to a declaration
by Cardinal Dubois, to be publish
ed tomorrow in The Semaine Re
ligieuse, an official Catholic or
gan.
Appealing to all French Cath
olics to “fight against the danger
which menaces us so imminently, »
the cardinal writes:
Grave.
4* The hour is grave, We must
react today; tomorrow, perhaps,
will be too late. God protect
France. tt
The cardinal’s manifesto, which
is circulated throughout France
by the Agence Havas, deals with
the red demonstration at the cere
mony attending the transference
to the Pantheon of the ashes of
Jean Juares, the martyred social
is leader.
It continues:
4( Is victorious France, six
years
after the war, to be a victim of
revolution? One may well fear it
if immediately all good citizens
do not resist for the honor and
safety of the country.
Cardinal Dubois goes on to
speak of the Juares parade last
Sunday in which were u numerous
Free Masons decorated with their
insignia, with only a few French
tri-color flags.
Communist Army.
And there,” he continues, tt was
a .communist army, compact and
disciplined. They numbered 20,
000, mobilized under the shadow
of a multitude of flags stamped
with the hammer and scythe of
the soviet. They advanced to the
singing of ‘The International,’
shouting cries of disorder and
calls for violence.
* • It was a fearful revelation. The
danger that one believed to be re
mote appeared suddenly and the
specter of sovietism showed itself
on our horizon. How many of us
then opened our eyes at the pas
sage of the cortege in which the
communists triumphed, and began
to reflect on the consequences of
a policy that can lead France to
the worst of catastrophes?
Ruin.
44 For communism would be the
ruin of that which is dearest to
us—religion and country, tt would
bring upon us the most awful
tyranny. Will we let it force it
self upon France and renew the
horrors of soviet Russia?

heard of him.
On each occasion his real iden
tity was ascertained as soon as
the record of his enlistment reach

reappear in a few days, weeks of

Army Goat Getter.
In acquiring his title of world’s
champion army goat-getter, Luth

His age ranges from 24 to 33, ac
cording to which of the 41 differ

5 feet fl inches tall, weighs about
125 pounds and has brown eyes
and brown hair.
So irritated have recruiting offi
cers become at their failure to ap
prehend him that at many stations
it is now a standing order that
every applicant for enlistment
shall bare his left forearm as a
preliminary to examination.
Some day, soon, they hope to
