Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.—The cot
ton market opened steady today at
unchanged prices to a decline of 16
points under overnight selling orders
and local pressure inspired by rela
tively easy Liverpool cables and be
lief that reactions were due after re
cent rapid advances. The initial of
ferings were Quickly absorbed by i
trade or speculative buying and the •
market turned upward on a flurry i
of covering, January advancing from j
24.40 to 24.70, or 20 points net high- ;
er within the first few minutes. This ■
bulge was not fully maintained, but' t
the market continued active and ruled
about eight to 11 points above
yesterday’s closing at the end of the
first hour.
The early advance was checked by
realizing at 24.72 for January and
the market eased off late in the
morning under renewed selling for
a reaction. January fell back to
yesterday’s closing level around
24.50 but trade buying on the de
cline held the market farily steady
at midday.
Realizing became a little more ac
tive in the early afternoon and prices
eased off to 24.35 for January, or
about 14 to 15 points net lower. Of
ferings otherwise were comparative
ly light while there was continued
trade buying and the tone was
steady around 2 o’clock with Janu
ary selling at 24.46 or about 10 points
up from the lowest.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 12.—The
cotton market opened about un
changed and soon eased off 4 to 6
points on indifferent Liverpool ca
bles and a favorable weekly weath
er and crop summary from Wash
ington. Good buying then developed
and contracts became scarce. As a
result December traded as high as
24.55, January to 24.56, and March
to 24.76 or 26 to 33 points above
Monday’s closing. Constructive in
fluence was the revival of activity
in the cotton goods trade, brisk busi
ness being reported both by New
York and Fall River.
The market continued firm to the
end of the first hour, January trad
ing as high as 24.57 and March up
to 24.80, new highs and 30 to 33
points above Monday’s close. The
firm tone was largely due to an esti
mate by prominent authority of 547,-
000 bales consumed by domestic
mills during October, as compared
with 435,216 bales consumed in Sep
tember, and 543,260 consumed in Oc
tober last year. Later in the morn
ing prices eased off 20 points on
realizing, due to reactions in stocks
and grain. Houston cleared today
31.646 bales, and New Orleans 14,-
436.
Following the easier spell around
noon the market became steadier
and fluctuated within a very narrow
range during the greater part of the
afternoon pivoting around 24.36 for
December and January and 24.60 for
March. Liverpool cabled that the
market was overbought and there
was more or less selling of hedges
in American markets against recent
purchases of spots. The reaction
ary tendency in stocks appears to
have checked for the time being the |
speculative buying of cotton. Total
exports from American ports for the
day totaled 47,187 bales.

THE ATLANTA TRI-W
j GRAIN
1 CHICAGO (Wednesday). Nov. 12.
i The bull movement in wheat receiv
ed a check today. Liverpool buyers
■acted a little more independently
and the weakness in that market
yesterday and today dampened the
ardor of local bulls. Corn staged
a strong comeback after a weak
] opening. Oats were more disposed
Ito reflect the action of wheat- than
■that of corn. Provisions had a
weals tone.
The sharp decline in Liverpool
I prices over the holiday had a de
< pressing effect on holders of wheat
!in the local market. As soon as the
bell sounded there was a wild rush
to sell by recent buyers and much
wheat was liquidated through the
execution of stop loss orders. There
was so much wheat put into the j it
at this time that despite buying
by the eastern houses and some of
the cash interests a recovery in
prices was difficult to obtain. About
mid-session some of the locals who
had been impressed by the char
acter of the buying and had accu
mulated long tv heat became tired
because the market failed to reflect
the steady tone in Winnipeg and
unloaded. The decline in Liverpool
and the weakness in foreign ex
change handicaped exporters and
.business with foreigners was of
moderate volume. Southwest mar
kets, however, claimed that gulf
bids for export wheat were l-4c
better than Monday. A lot of 20,-
000 bushels of No. 2 hard, now at
Montreal, was sold by a local ship
per at 11 l-2c over Chicago Decem
ber, f. o. b. Montreal. Milling de
mand was rather quiet. A few cars
of wheat were booked to arrive on
offers from the country, but the
buyers as a general rule refused to
bid for the wheat owing to a short
age in storage space. Receipts con
tinue of liberal volume in the mid
dlewest and Minneapolis stock are
accumulating at a rapid rate.
Wheat closed near the best prices
of the day on buying by influential
commission houses and covering by
shorts. Strength in Buenos Aires
was given as the reason for the
buying. Last prices, however, were
to l%c lower. December $1.52%
to $1.52%: May $1.59% to $1.59%:
July $1.39%.
Longs’ in corn were frightened
over the action of the wheat mar
ket and many of them sold out.
their corn as soon as the market
opened. This caused a rather se
vere break for a time. Eastern
longs and local leaders took advan
tage of the decline to add to their
holdings and this resulted in a
sharp rally later. The government
crop report of Monday was de
cidedly bullish and this was en
couraging to .holders. Moderate
bookings of corn to arrive were re
ported. Local shippers reported a
little more new corn sold to the
east and that distributors in that
part of the country were after big
lots of corn, but their bids were too
low.
Corn also closed with a burst of
strength on reports of sales to Ger
many. Last prices were l%c to
2%-s higher. December $1.12% to
$1.12%; May $1.17% to $1.17%; July
$1.18% to $1.18%.
Oats also started much lover un
der liquidation and stop loss selling.
Prices had some recovery in the
later trading on buying to cover
short sales and some commission
house investment demand. Shipping
demand for oats remains quiet and
the country is selling little to ar
rive.
Oats were% to Uc lower. Decem
ber July 56.
Provisions had a weak tone. Sell
ing of lard by packers and cash in
terests had a depressing effect. Buy
ing orders were enlarged on the de
cline.
laird closed 22%c lower to
higher. No trade in ribs or bellies.
Local cash sales were 25,00(1 bush
els of wheat, including 20,000 bush
els now at Montrael; 156,000 bushels
of corn: 34,000 bushels of oats, and
8,000 bushels of barley. The sea
board reported 300,000 bushels of
wheat taken for export,

BY DAVID LAWRENCE
I (Sp.., ;;:, Leased W ' :•t.» I ■ J‘j .nii'.l -L'oj.J
right, 1924.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—The
i hand of fate which gave the Repub
' lican party at the polls last Tuesday
a new lease of life has suddenly im
printed itself on the situation in
the United States senate as it af
fects loaders and committee chair
men, something hardly less im
portant than anything which hap
pened in the election of a new con
gress last week.
The death of Senator Lodge means
no mere passing of a veteran sena
tor. Nor does it signify simply the
addition of a younger senator to the
administration group from New Eng
land. It marks the ending of one
epoch and the beginning of another
in the history of the Republican
party. It may carry a significance
far into the future, for no man more
surely affected the foreign policy of
the United States since the war than
did Henry Cabot Lodge,
Around the Massachusetts sena
tor were grouped the “irreconcil
ables.” At first he was not of them
openly but at heart his sympathies
were with the senators who not only
wanted America kept out of the
League of Nations, but also the
world court created by it. It is no
secret that Mr. Lodge’s contrariness
on foreign policies brought about in
recent months some sharp expres
sions of disapproval among the in
timate friends of Calvin Coolidge
who thought a Massachusetts sena
tor should stick with a Massachu
setts president. In voting to over
ride the president’s veto on the sol
dier bonus and in siding with the
opposition on the question of Japa
nese exclusion, the Lodge person
ality was not swayed by anything
except his own dope-seated convic
tions.
Courageous Partisan
Whatever else opponents may say
about Henry Cabot Lodge in politics,
he was a staunch partisan and a
courageous one. He took many a
thrust from friendly quarters with
a smile. He had a remarkable self
confidence and while in advancing
years he revealed a stubbornness
that impaired his value as a leader,
he was, nevertheless, the most re
spected man on the Republican side
of the senate.
The departure of Senator Lodge,
the man who raised his voice in the
historic debates during the Spanish-
American war, who was the friend
and supporter of McKinley, Taft,
Roosevelt and Harding, seems like
the closing of an old era in national
affairs. His was the old way of do
ing things and against the senators
who came from the west elected by
direct primaries the whip of leader
ship was not effective.
Something new has yet to be de
vised to bring about solidarity of
party in the senate. The successor
of Senator Lodge undoubtedly will be
Senator Curtis, of Kansas. He is a
loyal supporter of the administra
tion, and was favorably considered
for a time for the vice presidency at
the last Cleveland convention. There
is talk of Senator Fess, of Ohio, and
Senator Wadsworth, of New York.
Either would be satisfactory to the
president, but the fight of the Re
publican party is in the west, and a
leader must understand the west to
keep party harmony.
As for the committee chairman
ships, Senator Borah will succeed
Senator Lodge. At first glance this
may seem to spell trouble for the
administration. The Idaho senator
lias been opposed to many adminis
tration policies, including that on
Russia, but on foreign policy, too.
the Republican party and the admin
istration needs not an obstructionist,
but an aggressive leader. Senator
Borah is a practical person, and a
daring personality. He is flexible,
and the administration will get more
done with Borah's co-operation than
with his opposition.
Opportunity for Curtis
Senator Borah is the ranking
member of the judiciary committee,
hut as between that and foreign re
lations he is more likely to choose
the latter. Senator Hiram Johnson,
of California, will succeed Senator
Sterling as chairman of the immigra
tion committee and Senator Cummins
probably, will go back to the chair
manship of the committee on inter
state commerce after March 4, when
his duties as presiding officer of the
senate are ended and Charles G.
Dawes becomes vice president.
When Senator Borah becomes
chairman of the senate foreign rela
tions committee he leaves as his suc
cessor in the judiciary committee
Senator George W. Norris, of Ne
braska. This gives the western pro
gressives another committee chair
manship, but so far as vital legisla
tion is concerned, the only important
shake-up are those which affect the
senate committee on interstate com
merce and the foreign relations com
mittee.
Senator Smoot, a loyal administra
tion supporter, remains in charge of
the finance committee, and Senator
Warren, of Wyoming, at the head of
appropriations.
There’s a great chance for a new
leadership in the senate. While Mr.
Curtis has outstanding qualities, it
is doubtful whether the opportunity
will come for an individual to domi
nate as in the old days, but a leader
even on a steering committee can
accomplish things, and Curtis, of
Kansas, will have a real opportunity.

Unending Rains Washing

Exodus From Bleak West
Coast of Ireland
NEW YORK. Nov. 3.—Six months
of seemingly ceaselss rain along the
bleak west -roast of Ireland is sweep
ing to American shores such a flood
of maid-servants as this country has
not seen in a generation.
A cargo of 140 answers to the
servant problem recently arrived
upon the S. S. Laconia alone.
From Donegal bay, north of Coun
ty Sligo, to the river Shannon, south
of County Clare, the dark-haired,
blue-eyed, pink-cheeked.daughters of

It seems as though the “wee folk”

great poverty and need have come

MARRIAGES AND DIVORCES
OF NATION SHOW INCREASE
FOR LAST YEAR, U. S. REPORTS
Weddings Jump 94,780 or
8,4 Per Cent and Decrees
Granted Increase 16,324,
or 11 Per Cent
WASHINGTON, D. C-, Nov. 10.—
Marriage and divorces in the United
States increased last year, as com
pared with the previous year, ac
cording to a. statement isued today
by the United States department of
commerce. The increase in the
number of divorces was 11 per cent
as compared with 8.4 per cent in
marriages.
The statement shows there were
in the United States in 19'23, 1,223,8'26
marriages and 165,139 divorces. In
1922 there were 1,129,000 marriages
and 148,815 divorces.
The increase in marriages in 1923
over 1924 was 94,780, or 8.4 per cent.
Nebraska was the only state in
which there was a marked decrease
in 19'23, due, it was stated, to an
amendment to the marriage law in
1923 requring the posting of the ap
plication for marriage licenses for
ten days before the license is issued.
Divorces reported for 1923, with
three counties lacking, show an in
crease of 16.324, or 11 per cent, over
the previous year. The large in
crease shown for the state of Wash
ington was said to be due to a
change in the divorce law in 1921
which caused a considerable de
crease in the number of final de
crees entered in 11'22, the first year
in which the new law was in effect.
The number of marriages and di-
' All through Connaught the same
'I drama was being played in a thou-
Isand homes, each unbeknownst to
(the other. With the mournful mo-
Inotony of rain upon the roofs, each
[family was determining that some
one must go out into the wcrld. The
number of mouths to feed must be
I lessened and some money must come
' from somewhere.
Pennies must be scraped for the
fares and a little borrowing here and
there; a little money from friends
inAAmeric a few tears shed—from
Donegal bay to the Shannon's shore
the scene was repeated.
“Ay, and it was not one of us
that knew the her was coming,”
| explained Margaret Egan, of Kil
rush, County Clare, when the sudden
iinflux of Irish maids for domestic
I work attracted attention. “Ten of
lus there were, and I was fond of
’ ( the home and hating to be leaving.”
] Meanwhile what is a. tragedy to
! West Ireland is a. joy to the Ameri
can housewife. In the east the
I question of domestic help has been
a particularly keen one. Every girl
[arriving had an assured position be
. fore the ship landed.
So it seemed as though a rainbow
j had swung across New York harbor
giving assurance that it “ain’t gonna
i rain no more.”
