Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
NEW YORK, Oct. 31. —Cotton opened
firm at an advance of 17 to 30 points on
higher Liverpool cables with Decembei
selling at 18.95 and January at 18.88 during
the first few minutes. There were some
Liverpool buying orders here at the open
ing. Wall street also was a buyer, but
the advance met increased offerings, partly
from New Orleans and the south, and the
market eased off after the call, selling back
to 18.83 for January, or within three points
of Saturday’s closing. The irregular open- (
ing of foreign exchange rates had an un
settling influence, but the action of the (
early market was more generally attributed
to previously formed opinions than to any
special feature in the early news. Private
cables reported hedge selling in Liverpool j
absorbed by covering.
The early selling movement sent prices (
off to 18.57 for December and 18.45 for
January, or about 10 to 17 points net lower
on the general list. There was a continu- (
nnce of the December liquidation which bad
been the feature in Saturday’s trading, and
the December premium over January nar
rowed to about 8 points. Later, however, j
tb« market steadied and December pulled up y
somewhat on covering with active months
generally selling back to about the final j
quotations of last week. Business.was coi « y
paratively quiet, but some trade buying was
reported at the decline and when early sell- p
era attempted to cover they found offerings j
limited.
The market weakened again during the j
early afternoon owing to renewed liquida
tion and increased southern selling. De- f
cember broke to 18.45 and January to 18.32. j
making new low ground for the day and y
a net decline of 22 to 29 points.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 31.—Much better
Liverpool cables than due and a favorable
opinion of textile trade reviews put the
price of cotton higher by 21 to 26 points in
the first half hour of the session today ‘
December touching 18.40 cents a pound!
Business was restricted, to some extent, by
the closing of the cotton exchange here to
morrow. All Sains’ day, and a legal holiday.
Moderately heavy selling set in. appar
ently inspired by the quiet in the spot de
partment. and the advances were wiped out
and replaced, in the trading up to 12 o’clock,
by declines of 10 to 14 points under the
close of last week. December fell to 18.05.
At noon prices were again at net advances
of about 3 points on a private crop estimate
of 6,621,000 bales, accompanied by the
elaim that the crop was 93 per cent picked.
Selling pressure increased after the noon t
hour, some of it to all appearances being i
due to the holiday here tomorrow. In the
trading up to 1:30 o'clock December fell to
17.75 c, at which level the list showed net c
losses of 34 to 45 points.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. La., Oct. 31.—Advances
in the early hours in the cotton market
today were succeeded by declines in the
later trading. A good Liverpool and a fa
vorable opinion of textile trade reviews were
back of much of the buying, although a pri
vate crop estimate of 6.621,000 bales, accom
panied by the claim that the crop was 93
per cent ginned, helped values 'some.
The selling was, to all appearances, of
the same character as that which has been
felt by the market repeatedly of late. Some
of it was probably done on the absence of
a spot demand, some of it result from the
fact that the market here tomorrow will
be closed in observance of All Saints' day,
but most of it seemed to be done on gen
eral principles. The bear element thought
the market could be depressed if the proper
supply of offerings was put out and were
willing to see that the supply was forth
coming.
The fourth ginning period of the sea
son ends today and during the remainder of
this week, it is likely that much comment
regarding ginning will be heard. This
should balance, to some extent at least,
bearish sentiment as it was displayed to
day.
From advances over yesterday’s close of
21 to 26 points, the market fell off to de
clines of 34 to 45 points below, December
trading as high as 18.40 c and as low as
17.75 c.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31. —Expectance of a de
crease in the United States visible supply
total was a leading bullish factor in the,
wheat market today, but this influence was
largely counterbalanced by selling on the
i part of houses with northwestern connec
tions. Opening prices, which varied from
%c off to %c advance, were followed by
slight general gains, although a temporary
sag intervened.
Wheat closed easy, % to %c net lower.
Corn and oats were relatively easy owing
to lack of 'aggressive support. Corn opened
unchanged %c lower to %c higher and then
declined all around.
Corn closed easy at the same as Satur
day’s finish to %c lower.
Oats started unchanged to %c higher and
later weakened like corn.
Higher quotations on hogs gave something
of a lift to provisions.

Commodity Prices
Despite renewed yielding in various com- ■
modi ties. Dun's comprehensive list of whole
sale quotations this week again reflects the
trend toward increasing stability of mar
kets. As against 43 advanced and 42 de
clines last week, the comparison this week
discloses 46 increases and 41 reductions,
while 97 of the 112 changes in this week of
last year were in a downward direction.
The grain markets during the current
week were strengthened by light receipts
and fairly active foreign buying, and more
or less improvement was established in
wheat, corn and oats. Live' meats moved
within a somewhat narrow range, demand 1
being well up to supply, and rather easy i
conditions in hogs and sheep contrasted with
well-maintained firmness in beef. Trading
in provisions was quiet, as a rule, but price
alterations were not especially important.
An active consumptive demand supported
prices of butter; cheese was very firm, and
a shortage of supplies caused a sharp up
turn in desirable quality eggs.
Irregular price conditions still prevail in
iron and steel, with the announced reduc
tion of $7 a ton in steel rails the out
standing feature. Somewhat less firmness
marks the situation in cotton goods, but
concession:; are not pronounced. In hides,
•.he advance in domestic packer stock has
been extended, •whereas there is some de
pression in calfskins.

HASTINGS REVIEWS.
SOUTHESSTEffI FJIB
Thanks to the farming classes and
the other agricultural interests of
the south for splendid support for
the 1921 Southeastern fair, and some
little criticism on the failure,of the
“city attendance’’ are expressed in
a statement just issued by H. G
Hastings, president of the South
eastern Fair association.
In summarizing the 1921 meet,
Mr. Hastings points out that attend
ance by out-of-town visitors, ex
hibits by stock-raisers, farmers and
agricultural concerns and all de
partments of the fair devoted to
agricultural education, all set new
records this year. The total at
tendance figures, he said, are some
what below previous years, due to
lack of support of the city public.
Mr. Hastings stated that the fair
ofifcials are particularly pleased
with the showing made by the live
stock show, which was greater than
ever before this year, and he com
ments at length on the swine show,
the biggest held in America this
year. Three thousand prize entries
were on exhibit.
The poultry show, the woman’s
department, the “better babies”
show, the art department, the boys’
fair school, the grand circuit races
and the amusement features, all
come in for praise by Mr. Hastings.
In the international club judging
contest he announces that boys from
sixteen states, representing winners
in which 15,000 boys competed for
the privilege of judging stock, par
ticipated.

OFF FOR_BELGRADE
PARIS, Oct. 31.—(8y the Asso
ciated Press.) —King Alexander, of
Jugo-Slavia, traveling incognito, left
Paris Saturday for Belgrade, the
Jugo-Slav capital. He was accom
panied by Nikola P. Pachitch, the
premier, and minister of foreign af
fairs.
The king and his prime minister
have been in conference daily for
the last week at Versailles, where
the young monarch has been stop
ping. Today the premier spent the
morning with the king and finally
gained his agreement to return to
Jugo-Slavia agter absense of sev
eral months, during which period oc
curred the death of King Peter and
the proclamation of Alexander, who
had been prince regent, as his suc
cessor to the throne.
Premier Pachitch telephoned to
Paris at noon that the kins was
about to return and that the bag
gage of his entourage should be
prepared for its departure. The news
was so unexpected, however, that
most of the household and the sec
retaries found themselves unable to
leave this evening. They later will
follow the king and the premier,
who left for Belgrade at 5:40 o’clock
this afternoon.

GOVERNOR MAKES
REPLY TO HARDING
MACON, Ga., Oct. 29.—Digressing
from his usual address on taxation
long enough to word what is inter
preted as an answer to President
Harding’s recent speech in Birming
ham and to reply to “Tom’ Watson’s
recent attack. Governor Thomas W.
Hardwick, speaking before a state
fair crowd Saturday, roused them to
enthusiasm i na defense of the state
of Georgia and its handling of the
race question, and his declaration
that he would “abolish the superflu
ous commission in Georgia as soon
as possible.”
This latter declaration was made
during the governor’s remarks re
garding the existence in this state of
a number of commissions which, he
said, “are useless and whose great
est effort is put forth in drawing
their pay checks.” Concluding an
address which had dealt minutely
with the taxation problems of the
state, the governor asked indulgence
while he spoke in “defense of the
people of Georgia.”
“The people of Georgia,” he’said,
“are not wholly good and few are
wholly bad, and we are slow to criti
cize and quick to resent outside crit
icism. Sometimes we are impetuous
in our judgments, but we have never
denied any minority in our midst
civil liberty or religious freedom. No
where in the world have two races
ever lived in more harmony and
with less friction than have the
white and black races in this state.
Georgia is the best place on earth
for a good negro, and the worst place
on earth for a bad negro.
“We need no foreign doctrine to
teach us what is right on the race
question, for we know.”
In his address he spok« of the vari
ous commissions now existent in
the state, which he said “grew up
during those hysterical times when
we were trying to mind everybody’s
business, a policy to which I am op
posed and always shall be.
“Certain friends of mine say I
haven’t done enough to get these
fellows abolished. I urged everyone
of these reforms, and if the legisla
ture did not do it, it wasn’t my fault.
Your governor has never yet aspired
to be boss of the legislature or of
the people of Georgia. Rome was
not built in a day, but if we don’t
get their feet separated from the
feed trough it won’t be Tom Hard
wick’s fault. They are useless and
I am going to get rid of them as
soon as I can.”

DO TO CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—Income
tax returns made to the treasury
by corporations and individuals
would be opei? to inspection at the
request of either house of congress
under an amendment to the tax re
vision bill adopted today by the sen
ate without a record vote.
The last ray of hope that the tax
revision bill could be passed this
week faded today when the senate
resumed work on the measure. Re
publican leaders were determined,
however, to continue to put pressure
behind the bill and another night
session was in prospect.
The capital stock tax section was
on 'the calendar today with a long
fight promised. Senator Lodge, of
Massachusetts, the Republican lead
er, had before the senate an amend
ment to exempt holding companies
from this tax where it had been
paid by a subsidiary company, and
Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri,
had given notice that he would of
fer what he termed a very impor
tant amendment.
There seemed to be doubt early
today whether the senate could get
through with all of the committee
and majority amendments before re
cess tonight. After the bill has been
perfected in the committee of the
whole, it will be taken up again in
the senate amendment. Then will
come the renewal of a number of
fights already waged with the
launching of some new ones.

COTTON GROWERS
HEARJOKE SMITH
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.. Oct. 31.
Speaking here Saturday before the
American Cotton association in an
nual convention, ex-Senator Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, severely criti
cized the refusal of Secretary Hous
ton to put in full functioning opera
tion the war finance corporation
during the twelve months’ period be
ginning in April, 1920, and the fed
eral reserve board for contracting
the currency and curtailing credits
during the same period.
Ex-Senator Smith emphasized the
fact that one-fourth of the popula
tion of the United States is directly
dependent upon cotton for support,
and that their prosperity affects not
only the cotton belt, but the nation
as a whole. To curtail the buying
power of the cotton belt, he showed,
curtails by one-fourth the national
buying power of manufactured prod
ucts. He showed that cotton ex
ports have maintained the nation’s
balance of trade for the past fifty
years. —«
Cotton growers, he said, are en
titled to helpful legislation at the
hands of their government, the same
as growers of other farm products,
but legislation, plus intelligent ad
ministration of legislation, are not
alone a solution of their problems.
Organization and co-operation among
the growers of cotton is essential to
success, and “every individual cot
ton grower has a personal responsi
bility.”
Congress in the past few years has
enacted ihuch legislation for the
benefit of the farmers, the former
senator showed, and in this connec
tion mentioned the act creating the
federal reserve system and the act
creating the war finance corporation.
He showed wherein the provisions
of the federal reserve act were made
specially helpful to the agricultural
interests. He showed wherein the
war finance corporation was given
special authority to assist in the
export of agricultural products.
Raps Houston and Board
But the federal reserve board in
the period above mentioned, declar
ed ex-Senator Smith, administered
the system in such away “as to fail
to meet our emergency, and acted
unwisely, and -improperly adminis
tered our laws.” Likewise, Secre
tary Houston refused to allow the
war finance corporation to function
at a time when assistance for ex
ports was vitally needed by reason
of the impoverished condition of the
European countries growing out of
the war.
\‘l do not claim,” said he, “that
the continued operation of the war
finance corporation during the fall
and winter of 1920-21 could have
stopped the downward tendency of
prices, nor do I claim that an ex
tension of credits by the federal re
serve board could have prevented a
downward tendency, but I have no
doubt that the course pursued in
creased largely the destruction of
values, and that this course de
serves the severest condemnation.”
It was not until March 4, when
the Republican administration took
charge, the former senator con
tinued, that the war finance corpor
ation “really did anything,” al
though congress had passed a reso
lution in December, 1920, directing
Secretary Houston to revive it, and
had passed the resolution over Presi
dent Wilson’s veto. Under the lead
ershrip of Eugene Meyer, managing
director of the corporation,” he con
tinued, “a great service has been
rendered towards stimulating the ex
ports of raw material.”
The cotton grower, declared Ex-
Senator Smith, could fall into no
greater error than to suppose the
only thing he needs is an oppor
tunity to borrow money to hold cot
ton. What he needs “is a consum
ing market which will spin and man
ufacture his yearly product, leaving
little or on surplus to be carried
over from one year to another.”
Conditions in Europe
Since foreign countries have al
ways consumed one-half or more of
the cotton produced here, the for
mer senator showed, European con
ditions directly affect the price and
“reach down into the pocketbook of
the cotton grower.” Restoration of
peace and economic progress in Eu
rope is therefore, he said, supremely
important to the cotton belt.
The south, he declared, ought to
' be and can be, the richest agricul-
I tural section of the world, but it
i will never be able to reach that goal
without intelligent limitation of cot
ton production to the world’s de
mand and without orderly marketing
in monthly instalments.
“We must organize,” said he, “the
farmers, merchants and bankers of
the cotton growing states into a
great and continuous co-operative
movement to curtail cotton produc
tion to the world’s demand, and to
raise vast quantities of foodstuffs.”
All of the food supplies consumed
in the south should be produced in
the south, he said, and organized
marketing systems should be formofi
to dispose of the surplus at profit
able prices. It is an old story, he
admitted, but must be continually
preached until it is practiced. He
urged the continuance and strength
ening of the American Cotton asso
ciation and spoke of the future with
optimism and confidence.

WE TO RESIGN
is pm im
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—A deal
whereby George White will resign as
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, to be succeeded by a
“compromise candidate,” will be at
tempted at the meeting of the na
tional committee in St. Louis next
Tuesday,
If the proposed deal goes through,
Mr. White’s resignation will follow
within a short time without any
row in the party. If the deal is re
jected there may be a long drawn
out fight within the 'committee,
though it appeared unlikely today
that it would be permitted to come
to an open rupture in the St. Louis
meeting.
Mr. White, a Cox leader, today re
peated his desire to get out, and
his determination not to be forced
out by the McAdoo group or any
other faction. He and his friends
are somewhat concerned over the
probability that there will be a
small attendance of the White forces
at St. Louis.
The McAdoo group, on the con
trary, has arranged either that its
members be there in person or be
represented by proxies.
If these proxies have been in
structed to vote against continuing
Mr. White as chairman, the situa
tion will look gloomy, Mr. White’s
friends here said today.
The proposed deal whereby Mr.
White would get out without a fight
was suggested by prominent Demo
crats not on the natiQnal commit
tee, and is understood to be accepta
ble to Mr. White and his friends.
Mr. White left Washington today
for St. Louis. He said that in ad
dition to presenting his report of
the Cox campaign and discussing
means of raising the 5150,000 deficit
which that campaign created in the
party’s funds, he probably would
discuss with the committee the com
ing congressional campaign. Though
this is not strictly within the na
tional committee’s sphere, its mem
bers are in touch with state condi
tions to a degree that makes their
counsel on the congressional elec
tion valuable, Mr. White said.
Naval Cadets Learn
Bull Fighting Game
On Lengthy Cruise
The gunboat Newport, after a fif
teen weeKs’ cruise that included stops
at the Azores, Gibraltar, Algiers,
Naples, Madeira and Bermuda, has
returned to New York and is now an
chored off Tompkinsville. S. I. Nine
ty-eight cadets of the New York
State Nautical school were taken on
the cruise, and during the fifteen
weeks greatly Increased their knowl
edge of navigation, engineerin, geog
raphy—and bull fighting.
The cadets saw the bull fight while
in Spain. At Naples they made an
extensive tour of Pompeii. They were
entertained at various places and at
tended many balls. They found the
dancing good in some places, but ’n
Italy found it very bad. The ship’s
officers report that the trip was
highly successful.
The Newport will lie off Tomp
kinsville for another day and then
dock for the winter at the foot of
West Ninety-sixth street, while the
cadets take up their winter courses
on shore. Twenty-two who took the
cruise this summer will be graduated
this fall after a two-year course.
Examinations for admission to the i
school will be held next month. Can
didates must be between seventeen
and twenty-one and must have the
equivalent of two years in high
school.
The gunboat was commanded by
Lieutenant Commander J. S. Baylis
U. S. C. G. Lieutenant H. W. Stock
was her executive officer.
Sailor Captures Osprey
In Fight on Ship Mast
NEW YORK.—When the steam
ship Europa of the Le Veloce line,
was steaming westward from Naples
through heavy seas some 500 miles
east of Sandy Hook, an osprey flew
into the rigging of the foremast and
dropped down to a perch just above
the running light.
Captain G. M. Minetti, who was
on the bridge at the time, saw the
bird come aboard and offered a hun
dred cigarettes as a reward to the
man who would catch the big fish
hawk.
Francesco Donato, a quartermas
ter, who was just going off watch
climbed the foremast and found a
scrappy adversary in the feathered
visitor. He was clawed and bitten
several times, but clung to the feet
of the fighting bird and brought it
to the bridge. On the bridge the
bird put up a furious fight, but was
subdued when the skipper and first
officer, Angelo Cacace. came to Don
ato’s assistance.
