COTTON I
NEW YORK, Nov. 19—The cot
ton market opened firm today at an
advance of 10 to 16 points on rela
tively firm Liverpool cables and re
ports of frost in the south. Active
months sold about 17 to 18 points
net higher after the call. January
advancing to 21.63 and March to
24.98. Offerings increased somewhat
at the higher price and there were
reactions o£ IQ or 12 points from the
best in the early trading. Differ
ences of opinion existed here as to
whether the cold weather in the
south would do any harm although
private cables said it had helped the
Liverpool advance. Another private
crop report pointed to a yield of 13.-
'*• 036,000 bales, compared with 12,-
978.000 on November 1.
Trading was quiet later in the
morning, with prices sagging off
under comparatively small offerings
which were attributed mostly to
evening-up of accounts in prepara
tion for Friday’s government report.
Some switching of trade hedges from
December to May was reported, but
the market otherwise lacked any
special feature. Trading was dull at
mid-day, with January selling at
24.44, only one point below yester
day’s closing quotations.
No fresh feature developed in the (
early afternoon, prices during around
24.30 for January, at 2 o’clock, when
the generab market was about 10 to
15 points net lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 10.—The
cotton market opened steady and
first trades showed gains of 3 to
12 points notwithstanding Liverpool
was hardly as good as due. The
market advanced further after the
call until December traded at 24.59,
January at 24.60 and March at
24.84, or 14 to 17 points above the
close of yesterday. The market soon
turned quiet with limited trading
and lack of definite trend and prices
eased off 8 to 9 points from the
early highs.
The market ruled very quiet all |
the morning owing to the lack to |
trade in advance of the government
report to be issued Friday morning.
Prices were supported by the firm
ness of stocks, and gain until near
noon, when they eased off 27 to 29
points down from the early highs,
and 12 to 14 under the previous
close. It was officially announced
no condition average will be issued
Friday, but there will be an esti
mate of the crop and ginning totals
to November 14. Exports for the
day were 26.519, and for the week
bo far, 306.710.
The market continued rather quiet i
during the afternoon but prices eased
off further on a tendency to increase
crop views owing to many reports
from the interior particularly from
Texas, claiming that the long spell
of fine weather had developed a good
top crop, causing many bolls to ma
ture which it was not believed would
ever amount to anything.

THE ATLANTA TRI-W
GRAIN
I CHICAGO (Wednesday). Nov. 19
’The bulge in corn about midsession,
| carrying the May and July deliver
ies to the highest levels of the sea
json, was the outstanding feature in
the grain trade today. Wheat re
covered partly from its early de
gression because of the strength
| shown in corn. Oats also were ben
jefitted by the rally in the coarse
I grain. Provisions had a firm tone,
j After a period of depression which
pasted most of the first half of the
’session, corn rallied sharply and
•.made new high records for the sea
son in the deferred months. There
was little selling at the start by
overnight longs who became fright
ened over the weakness in the Liv
erpool market. This encouraged
short selling by local traders. In
the meanwhile a .steady absorption
of offerings by influential commis
sion houses took the surplus out of
the pit, and when early sellers at
tempted to take profits they found
little corn for sale. This started a
stampede of buyers, and the market
ran into stop loss purchases which
accelerated the advance. Light re
ceipts and a good spot demand for
corn gave the cash market a firm
tone. Offerings of new corn to ar
rive were slightly larger on the up
turn. Shipping demand remains
quiet.
Corn lost some of its early ad
vance on profit taking by the longs
but last prices were 3-4 to 2 l-4c
higher. December, sl.lß to sl.lß 1-8;
May, $1.23 to $1.23 1-8; July, $1.23 3-4
to $1.24.
Wheat/was under pressure from
seaboard interests and eastern
houses, but the market met with
good buying on the break. Later,
; the strength in corn started another
i buying movement which carried
prices back to the previous close.
Pressure again developed, and the
market was unable to maintain its
position. News from abroad was of
a decidedly bearish tinge. Liver
pool failed to become excited over
yesterday's closing bulge in Ameri
ca. The heavy tone was attributed
to big stocks, pressure of supplies
on passage and a cessation in the
consumptive demand. Exporters
told of England reselling a little
wheat, and Rotterdam cables told of
resellers offering number 2 hard
wheat afloat at 8c over December.
On the other hand, Kansas City re
ported sales of 250,000 bushels to
gulf exporters at 11 cents over De
certiber. Local millers reported an
excellent flour demand, and stated
a Paris, Ky., miller was here to buy
flour today to fill contracts, he hav
ing oversold his output. Shipments
of wheat out of the northwest mar
kets are overtaking the receipts.
Weather was fair over the entire
wheat belt.
Wheat weakened after hsorts had
finished covering and closed 3-4 to
l-2c lower; December, $1.51 3-8 to
$1.51 3-4; May. $1.5!) 1-4 to $1,159 1-8;
July, $1.39 7-8 to $1.40.
Oats rallied after an early break
in sympathy with corn. Leading
longs supported the market on the
dip. The selling was mainly for
northwest account.
Oats unchanged to 3-8 c lower; De
cember, 54 to 53 7-Sc; May, 59 1-8 to
59c; July, 57 l-2c.
Trade in provisions was confined
largely to lard. Investment buying
is increasing because of the light
weight of hogs. Strength in corn
also encouraged holders.
Lard closed 50 to 12 l-2c lower
and ribs 25 to 42 l-2c higher. No
trade in bellies.
The Seaboard reported 400,000
bushels of wheat and 100,000 rye
for export.
Kansas City reported sales 75,000
bushels wheat to gulf exporters.
Omaha sold 100,000 bushels wheat
to come to Chicago.

IM TO STICK TO
TRIED PllllffilPLES
El. PASO, Tex.. Nov. 17.—(8y the
I Associated I’l ess.) —President Samuel
j Gompers, of the American Fcdera
-1 tic'n of Labor, in his address to the
1 44th annual convention of the federa
tion Monday, admonished labor to ad
here to the guiding principle of vol
untary action and to “illumine your
every problem with consecrated devo
tion to human well-being in the full
est, widest sense.”
“We have tried and proved
principles in economic, political, so
cial and international relations,” Mr.
Gompers said. “They have been tried
and not found wanting, and where
we have tried other ways we have
failed.”
“In a spirit of consecration to the
cause of humanity, I want to urge
devotion to the fundamentals of hu
man liberty—the principles of volun
tarism. No lasting gain has ever
come from compulsion. If we seek
to force, we but tear apart that
which, united, is invincible. There
is no way whereby our labor move
ment may be assured sustained prog
ress in determining its policies and
its plan other than sincere, demo
cratic liebration until an unanimous
decision is reached.
“Our movement has found these
voluntary principles the secure foun
dation upon which the workers of
all America make united effort.
“We are eager to join in an inter
national labor movement based upon
the same principles of voluntarism.
We are willing to co-operate/ if we
can be assured a basis that wdll en
able us to maintain our integrity—
a condition necessary for our own
virility and continued progress.”
Some four hundred delegates,
spokesmen for approximately 3,000,-
000 workers affiliated with 107 craft
organizations, entered the initial
sessions,’ faced with the task of
shaping labor’s program in indus
try, politics t.nd civic enterprise for
the coming year.
Debate in three departmental con
ferences last week forecast a gen
eral convention keynoted on a de
termined stand against wage reduc
tions.
Labor interests of two nations
centered in this district today, for,
as the American Federation opens
its convention here, the Mexican
confederation of labor met in Jau
rez, across the international bridge.
The Mexican delegates late today
will march to Liberty hall here for
a joint session with the Americans.
The American convention will move
to Juarez for a joint session in the
Juarez theater tomorrow morning.
The report of the executive coun
cil summarizing the work of the fed
eration since the Portland, Oregon,
convention of October, 1923, the an
nual address of President Samuel
Gompers and the address of wel
come by Executive Secretary George
IL Slater of the Texas state federa
tion of labor made up the program
of the initial session today of the
American Federation of Labor.

DWELT ON LOST CONTINENT
12,980 YEARS AGO, SHE SAYS
. w M
—
\
Countess Rosanka. who looks twenty, but who says she is thou
sands and thousands of years old.
Was a Boy, Then, on Atlan
tis, Charming Countess
Tells Interviewers —Re-
members Some of Cus-:
toms
PITTSBURG, Nov. 15. —You would I
think sh? was still in her 20’s —
But Countess Electra Rosanka ,
says she was alive thousands of I
years ago.
Why, 12.000 years ago in a previ- j
ou.s reincarnation, she insists, she I
w.ts roaming the but smee ;
long-lost continent of Atlantis. Siran- I
ger yet, she was a boy then —a boy i
narted Zailum Numinos.
So sure is she about it all that she ;
nas written a 90,000-w6rd book de
scribing conditions of the time of
yore.
The countess, the American-born I
wife of a Russian nobleman who died
during the war, styles herself a psy- ’
chic, mystic and philosopher. She I
began delving into the mystic soon '
after leaving school. She is now in •
America, recuperating her fortunes |
in her former profession—singing.
“Atlantis,” she explains, “lay be- j
tween what is now Europe und |
America. All of the continents were i
shaped differently. Parts of the land j
have sunk since, and parts of the j
ocean beds have risen.
“And in 750 years this will hap- I
pen ‘again—only it will be. America i
that will sink. From Mie bottoms of '
the Atlantic and Pacific will rise
slimy beds and evolution will begin !
again.
Recalls Language
“America will be destroyed for the
same reason that Atlantis was sent |
beneath the waves 12,000 years ago. i
It will become over-populated. Its |
men and women of intlelect will pro- !
gress too far for divine intelligence I
and will stop what might become im
pious learning aiid wisdom.”
There were airplanes, submarine* .
and the telephone in those days, too. i
The countess saw them. Laws and
economic conditions were far in ad
vance of those of today.
Strange though it seems, the 1
countess recalls much of the lan- j
guage she used in her residence in >

Peculiar Religion
As to religion, the countess says
it was a little along the lines of the
present Hebraic idea, a Monpth.’ism
which did not recognize a n ’
It did recognize a Christ-spirit, but
this was the endeavor to uo on .
best, which endeavor brought salva
tion.
As to her former incarnation be
ing that of a boy, th'e countess says
“The soul is sexless. Every person
who studies reincarnation knows 'that
the soul comes back many times as
man, many times as woman. In our
own Scriptures the idea is expressed
I crudely. Tn Heaven there shall be
no marriage or giving in marriage.’’’

COM DECIDES
WASHINGTON. Nov. 17.—Chair-i
man Couzens, of the special senate
committee investigating the internal
revenue bureau, declared today he
was convinced by reports of the com
mittee investigators that a large
number of industrial alcohol permits
had been issued illegally an(f furnish
ed the principal source for bootleg
gers.
At an executive session of the com
mittee Wednesday the chairman will
recommend a thorough investigation
into this phase of prohibition en
forcement. He said today it did not
seem reasonable that the demand for
industrial alcohol should) have in
creased “in leaps and bounds” since
the Volstead law became effective.
The investigators had discovered
he said, that strong influences had
been brought to bear on the internal
revenue bureau to obtain alcohol per
mits.
In addition to investigation of the
prohibition unit, the committee will
pry into enforcement of the lax laws.
Senator Couzens said the commit
tee was centering one angle of its
investigation on the cause of the de
crease of $22,000,000 in income taxes
from 1916 to 1920. He said about
$2,000,000 of these taxes bad been
traced in tax exempt securities and
the other had been claimed to be due
to depreciation in business. The
dates for opening public hearings
will be determined later.
