COTTON
NEW YORK. Ccr. 16.—The cot
ton market showed a .somewhat bet
ter tone in today’s early trading on
reports of increased trade demands,
or spinners’ calling, and covering on
expectation of rallies after yester
day’s decline. The opening was
firm at an advance of 11 to 31
points. After slight irregularity, ac
tive months hold 26 to 37 points
net higher, December advancing to
22.61. October was relatively easy
owing to the issuance of notices,
but held a premium of about 79
points compared with 88 points at
the close yesterday. Private cables
reported a quiet market in Liver
pool with the tindertone steady.
Reactions of 20 to 25 points on the
early advance resulted from realiz
-t?g and southern selling, but trade
interests were buyers on the decline,
and the market firmed ud again on
ieports that the tropical storm near
Yucatan channel was gaining in in
tensity. Official forecasts pointed
to continued good weather in the
south tonight and tomorrow except
for rain on the south Flrida coast,
tut uncertainty as to the further
course of-the storm evidently caused
some nervousness. December ad
vanced to 22.71 with the general
market showing net advances of 31
to 48 points around midday.
The demand promoted b ythe trop
ical storm uncertainty appeared to
be supplied on the mid-day advance.
The market was barely steady at 2
o’clock, with prices off to 22.45 c for
December, or within 20 points of
yesterday's closing quotation under
liquidation and a little selling by the
south.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 16. The
cotton market opened firmer despite
slightly lower Liverpool cables than
due. First trades showed gains of
14 to 22 points. Prices continued to
gain during the early trading, De
cember advancing to 22.41, January
to 22.49 and March to 22.70, or 30
to 33 points above the closing levels
of yesterday. The rally was due
mainly to technical conditions, par
ticularly the oversold condition of
the market. Fear that the tropical
disturbance may enter the gulf and
cause heavy rains and gales helped
tile advancement.
The market, after easing off mod
erately in the second hour of trad
ing and make new lows on some of
the active months, including Octo
ber at 22.22, and January at 23.30,
vainly on the fair weather map and
reports of good progress of the crop,
gradually strengthened on further
news of the tropical storm which is
now reported to be south of the
Yucatan channel moving northwest
ward. Fear that the storm may en
ter the gulf and bring heavy rains
caused prices to advance to 22.57
for December, and 22.62 for January,
or 46 points above yesterday’s close.
Large exports are reported today,
the total reaching 124,61 S bales for
all American ports.
The market ruled steady during
th ■. afternoon and fluctuated within
the previous range and not more
than 12 to 15 points below the highs
of the morning at any time. While
the advance brought out consider
able offerings, they were well ab
sorbed. The stoiTn and the large
exports for the day were the main
sustaining influence. It was report
ed a private bureau estimated gin
nings to date at 7,200,000 bales, as
compared with 6.409,000 bales ginned
to October IS, last year.

GRAIN
CHICAGO (Thursday), Oct. 16.
Wheat had an uncertain trend to
day. The present level inspired
more confidence among bears and
caused bulls to hesitate over making
purchases.
Corn was a weak market all day
with the exception of a moment at
the opening. Oats were influenced
by the action of corn. Lard had a
strong undertone.
Wheat started out with an upward
rush but the bulge was short-lived.
The strong response on the part of
Liverpool to the advance in Ameri
can markets Wednesday created a
feeling of uneasiness among shorts
and there was a cover as soon as the
opening bell sounded. Longs, how
ever, teemed to feel that the inai -
ket had advanced enough, and they
were just as anxious to sell upon
Hie upturn as shorts were to buy.
This selling caused prices to break
shai ply.
On the break export houses were
good buyers and this caused a re
covery to last night’s closing level.
After the first hour there was a. se
ries of ups and downs with the halt
ing point around the previous close.
Export sales overnight at the sea
board totaled 1.000,000 bushels. Lo
cal shippers sold a carload of wheat
to the seaboard on overnight re
fusals. Primary shipments continue
liberal, but receipts still are in ex
cess of the outward movement. Do
mestic shipping demand for wheat la
light.
Corn started higher and then met
with heavy selling that caused a se
vere break and prevented markets
from recovering much of the loss.
The selling was credited to an active
local trader who is preparing to go
abroad within the next day or two,
and this represented his long hold
ings in the market.
Some of the local shippers report
ed an improved demand for corn
from New England, but majority of
them reported trade quiet. Over
night offerings of corn to arrive
from the country were liberal but the
break in prices prevented much of
it from being booked.
Corn closed 4 to 4 3-8 c lower, sell
ir.g by longs persisted throughout,
the session. December $1,09 5-8 to
$1,09 3-4; May, sl,lll-8 to sl,lll-4;
July, sl.ll 1-2. Wheat also had a
weak finish, .dosing 2 to 2 5-8 c low
er. There wan heavy selling by an
elevator concern and realizing sales
by timid longs.
December, $1.49 to $1,49 1-8; May
$1,53 1-8 to $1,53 1-4; July, $1.35
Oats were affected by the action,
of corn and had an easy trend.
There was some liquidation in evi
dence and the buying power was
poor. Shipping demand was quiet.
Oats were 15-8 c to 17-8 c lower,
December, 54c to 54 l-8c; May, 58 3-8 c
to 58 l-2c; July, 55c.
Lard was higher despite the de
cline in hogs and corn. A reduc
tion of 22,000,000 pounds in local
stocks since the first of the month
was the bullish factor. Packers and
cottonseed oil interests wove the
principal buyers.
Lard closed unchanged to 10c
higher. No trade in ribs or bellies.
Local cash sales were 445,000
bushels of wheat, including 400,000
bushels to exporters; 121,000 bushels
of corn; 34,000 bushels of oats, and
15,0<A) bushels of barley.
The seaboard estimated export
sales of wheat as high as 2,000,000
bushels.
Vessel room was chartered for
500,000 bushels of wheat to Buffalo.

POLITICO HTIOfI
OFWESTWZEO
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
BY I) Wil) LAWRENCE
(Special Leased Wire to The Journal—Copy
right. 1921.1
MIDWEST AMERICA. Oct. 16.
There is something hopeful, some
thing buoyant about the spirit of
the west today which finds its re
flex in politics, of course, but which
makes ihe wayfarer feel the throb
of ever-growing confidence that the
I dark days of depression have passed,
and that the dawn of a prosperous
tomorrow has come.
It is not altogether due to the rise
in the prices of agricultural products
or the favorable crops. It is due
to some extent to a feeling of sta
bility, a feeling that the recon
struction of America’s economic life
following the war, has come a
steady, upward and assured pace.
There is an air of progress, of things
moving, of unrest dispelled and of
great opportunity.
The man would be blind who saw
no discontent, no symptoms of po
litical upheaval for the years to
to come, if the West Is left to hear
its own protesting voice, as the cry
is raised for a lower tariff, or a re
duction in freight rates.
President Coolidge has achieved a
considerable strength; on the farms
as well as in the cities of the west,
but it would be a mistake for his
supporters and advisors to interpret
the votes that will be cast in his
direction as due entirely to this en
thusiasm of approval. It is in a
sense a passive acquiescence; a be
lief in things as they are; in the
maintenance of status quo; yet with
it there is a hope for the future.
Persons, Not Issues
The west is changing. Co-opera
tive marketing, diversified farming,
improved methods of production,
better credit facilities and motor
transportation all have played their
parts.
The political parties have been
torn by local strife, and wounded in
the everlasting controversy between
conservatives and radicals.
Persons mean more than issues as
a factor in the balloting.
President Coolidge’s strength with
the voters of the west is a curious
thing. It is the same west which
threw its hat into the air for the rip
roaring, irrepressible T. R. of 1912
Today the west silently, but just as
effectively, utters its favor for the
rugged, honest, simple, unassuming,
plain man from the New England
hills.
John W. Davis’ speeches are com
mended, and his record is applauded,
but the west regards him as of the
same school of thought as President
Coolidge on most of the important
issues of the day.
The emphasis placed on La Fol
lette at the left side of the political
scene, and Coolidge on the right, has
meant a shunting of Davis to one
side.
Western sentiment, which clam
ored for McAdoo, has not accepted
Davis as a substitute. This js not
the fault of Davis. It is because bis
record was not that of McAdoo, who
stood for high wages on the rail
roads, a record of achiveinent in of
fice with respect to agricultural
credits, and, generally speaking, a
liberal radical. He would have car
ried many western states, but not
all of them, so the favorable eco
nomic condition helps the party-in
power.
Desires of West
Had McAdoo been nominated. Sen
ator La Follette probably would
lave thought twice about an inde
pendent campaign, as the railroad
brotherhoods would have supported
McAdoo financially and otherwise.
His name was ~ symbol of what
they stood for. As director general
of railroads he was responsible for
the very things which the railway
employes today are striving to pre
serve or insure, with respect to con
gressional action as they demon
strate their political power in the
La Follette vote.
The La Follette movement calls
itself “progressive,” and argues that
it is the inheriter of the Bull Moose
spirit of 1912. It has many pro
gressives in its ranks.
There is no doubt about that. But
the writer found the La Follette
movement in the west nothing more
nor less than a protest movement. It
is not to be taken any less seriously
for that reason, for its capacity to
affect the political problems of the
next few years cannot be under
estimated.
La Follette Boom Analysis
Analyzing the component parts of
the La Follette campaign, one finds
it consists of those farmers who
have had ill fortune and have not
been able to recuperate through one
year of good crops, railway employes
who are righting against the railway
executives, and those who would
tear down what advantages labor
achieved during the war, and. final
ly, Germans who see in La Follette
an opportunity to express their grat
itude to one who voted and argued
against the war when the whole
country was entering the fight with
impassioned energy.
No program of social vvelfare, no
specific proposals of concrete value,
as a solution of the many complex
questions of the day, only an appeal
to the man who imagines himself
the under-dog, the man who has lost
confidence in the personnel of gov
ernment for one reason or another,
and, lastly, the man with a griev
ance—this is the La Follette move
ment as it has been presented to the
west.
It may have constructive pur
poses; it may have plans to improve
the conditions of the poor man, hut
only those who are in a receptive

FORT THOMAS, Ky.. Oct. 11.-
Sfx years ago a little company o:
American soldiers pressed forward
at Cunei. France.
The lieutenant in charge went
•ahead through a rain of machine
gun bullets. He crawled to the side
of the first "nest.’’
Three of the enemy started toward
him. But the lieutenant was quick
er on the trigger than they were.
He got all three of them and
grappled with a fourth.
In the struggle the fourth went
down, too, and the Yank officer re
gained his revolver.
Ho pushed on to the next nest.
Under fire, he killed several more
of the Huns and captured three.
He turned his prisoners over to
his company, then started on for a
third nest. Five more Gormans
were killed by as many shots. Tw®
other gunners a few yards away
opened fire upon him.
Snake Under Auto Seat
Bites 8-Year-Old Boy;
Recovery Is Doubtful
HAWKINSVILLE, Ga., Oct. 15.
Kibbie. eight-year-old son of Sheriff
P. K. Ridley, of Hawkinsville, was
severely bitten by a large rattle
snake here Sunday.
The rattlesnake was under the
seat of a small car stored in Mr.
Ridley’s garage, having crawled up
under the gas tank. The boy, hear
ing the snake, thought the battery
was out of fix from the noise and
lifted the seat. The snake struck
him on his hand.
Dr. E. C. Brosn, J. 1,. Mathews
and W . A. Mathews were there in
five minutes and worked for several
hours with him but his condition
now is serious and chances to re
cover are against him. Where the
rattler came from is a mystery,
frame of mind to accept cure-all
promises are being led from their
accustomed political paths to the
third party ticket. The Democrats
of the west, disillusioned about their
own party’s convention in New York,
have given I.a Follette most of his
support in the west. The radical
fringe of the Republican party has
gone over to La Follette, too. But
the improvement in agricultural con
ditions has cut down that Republic
an radicalism to a large extent.
La P'ollette will poll a large vote,
lie will be second in most of the
western states. But to achieve his
objective lie should have been run
ning in 1912 when the west was
despondent. It is not today free from
worry or debt or care, but it has
seen a rav of light at last. And that
means a chance, an opportunity' to
win the battle of the last five years,
and a confidence that, as European
conditions improve, the long-expected
wave of real prosperity may not be
far distant.
"Failing to kill them with his re
'! volver,” reads the official citation,
; "he seized a pick lying nearby and
I killed both of them.”
Today' that lieutenant—Samuel
j Woodfill—whose exploit on October
■ 12, 1918, caused General Pershing
I to proclaim him the "outstanding
hero of the World war,” lives in a
i modest little cottage a mile from
i here.
He spends much of his time in his
i garden, caring lor plants. A skilled
j carpenter, he finds joy in puttering
■ around his house or doing odd jobs
I for neighbors.
His income is $133 a month, his
j retirement pay from the army. On
: this he supports his wife, formerly
: Miss Lorena B. Wiltshire, a descend
i ant of Daniel Boone, and her
| mother.
i He could have more money by
■ government appropriation if he
asked it, but he has never done so.
| I lls buddies started a campaign for
i congressional action, but he refused
; to participate in the plans, and they
j fell through.
None of the glories of the returned
' hero are his. He has spurned offers
jto go on the stage. He accepts no
i invitations to social functions.
Big Dam Near Tampa
Threatened; Valley
Residents Warned
I AM PA, Fla., Oct. 15.—A twenty
four-hour shift of workmen is fever
ishly piling sandbags against the
dam of the Tampa Electric company
on the Hillsborough river eight
miles north of Tampa, to stem a ris
ing tide that threatens to break tie
dam and flood the valley below. The
city has ordered policemen to patrol
the river and warn residents that a
break is not unlikely.
The high water required the dyna
miting of floodgates two days ago,
but county and city engineers fear
that the pressure may be too great
for the dam to hold. Twenty-four
feet of water is piled up behind the
structure and the river below is al
ready on the point of overflowing.

WASHINGTON, <>■ I. -Im
I proved economic conditions in }■?,; i
rope are expected tc slim’fate the!
1 demand for American cotton, de-!
dares the department of agricuh tire <
today in a special foreign cotton re '
view.
"While ihe markets for food nect s
silies, particularly grains and fats. I
are but moderately affected by eco-1
nomic changes, the demand lor cot
•ton is more responsive to conditions
.of prosperity or depression,” the de
partment says. ‘‘Supplies of cottori
I goods in times of distress can be
made Io last only a little longer and
new purchases can be postponed
only for a time.
"World supplies of cotton have
now been short for several years,
and prices have been corresponding
ly high. There is little doubt but
that supplies of cotton goods in con
sumers’ hands are relatively low.
"Employment conditions are good
in France and Italy, and have been
improving in the I’nited Kingdom.
In Germany the operation of the
Dawes plan is expected to stimulate
industry.
"These conditions all point to in
creased demand for American cot
ton.
"Outside of Europe, Japan is the
principal market for raw cotton.
“Since the war, the average an
ntial imports of cotton into Japan
have more than doubled the aver
age imports of the five years pre
ceding the war. The increased de
mand has been the result of eco
nomic developments and the rapid
adoption of Occidental styles in
dress. . .
"Production of cotton in the Unit
ed States, India, Egypt and Brazil,
which countries produce nearly 90
per cent of the world cotton crop,
is expected to be from 2,000,000 to
3,000,000 bales larger than last year,
when production in the four coun
tries totaled 16,307,000 bales.
England to Buy Here
“Lancashire spinners still look to
' America as the source of their future
cotton needs, and are not turning to
any great extent to other sources
of supply.
“British Empire cotton activities in
1923 resulted in the production of
178,000 bales from cotton fields
which 20 years ago did not exist.
The new areas are largely in the
Anglo-Egyptian Soudan, Uganda, and
;j in new Indian developments. The
1924 yield in these places is expected
I to run to 250,000 bales.
"American 1 1-8 inch staple has
for generations been. Lancashire's
’ standard raw material.

that the problem of an adequate cot- '
ton supply for English mills is con

grounds for challenging the grand
jurors who returned the indictments
against O. G. McCants, former cash

charged with embezzlement, io r gery
arid false entries on the books o'
the bank. The motion to quash the
