GRAIN
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—Broaden-
Ing. of speculative trade and a
upturn in prices were out
|V/ standing features in the cotton mar
ket today. The opening was firm at
S to 18 points advance. Subsequent
demand ran January contracts up
to 24.35 and March to 24.75, or 55
■ tn 61 points net higher. The close
was very steady at a net advance
<of 51 to 58 points.
From the start there was little
■ gelling pressure in the market. The
H character of busing encouraged be-
■ lief that part of the speculative in-
terest prominent in stocks and
for several weeks, at last
had turned to cotton which, thus
S'far, has experienced no particular
advance in prices. The west and
Street led in this buying move
flinent which was quite general
throughout the forenoon. One Chi-
group was said to have taken
on grain holdings and
its interest to cotton. Very
■ bullish news also was being wired
by local operators to southern mar
kets that improvement in business,
present and prospective, justified a
higher price for cotton than that
now current.
Sales by local traders around the
opening based on the idea that
■evere. cold weather in the south
| was restricting the spread of boll
weevil, were covered late in the day
at considerable loss.
Liverpool -was a good buyer, and
the fact that 172,000 bales of cotton
were on ship board at the close of
the week awaiting clearance, point
ed toward good export shipments
for the balance of the month. A
little southern selling at the ad
vance was well absorbed and the
market showed little reaction after
the start, continuing its upward
movement practically up to the close,
which was only a. few' points under
' the highest of the day.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 27.—The
cotton market developed -consider
able activity today for a short Sat
) urday session and prices were on
the upgrade from the start. There
was a good demand, not only from
the trade, but front Wall street, and
speculators and also from foreigners.
The stimulating influences were the
, ease with which the heavy tenders
cn January contracts were absorbed,
the activity and strength of stocks,
the advance to new highs ip grain,
and the generally favorable charac
ter of weekly trade reviews. Prices
reached the high of the day right
at the close, and active trading
months showed net gains of 53
points. n
The local market started 16 to 17
points above yesterday’s close and
the opening prices were the lows
of the day with January at 24-.03,
March at 24.18, and May at 24.48.
The market continued to gather
strength as the ' session proceeded
and aside from a few minor reces
sions on realizing, prices were on the
’ * upgrade all through the-day's trad
ing, finally reaching the highs right
at the end, January trading at 24.44,
March at 24.57, and May at
or 55 to 56 points above the previ
ous close. The close was very steady,
showing net gains for the day of
49 to 53 points.
It was reported that notices for
8,000 bales were issued here during
the morning on January contracts,
and it is understood that consider
able more cotton will be tendered
before the mqnth runs out. Certifi
cated stock here is now 101.911 bales
arid it is thought that practically
al! of it will be tendered on January
contracts. Fall River sales the-past
week totaled only 25.000 pieces of
print cloths due largely to tho holi
days. '
Sentiment at close was decidedly
bullish and most operators looked
for a higher market next week it
the stock market holds. Exports for
tho day totaled 19,282 bales, of wlvcb
Houston cleared "17,427 bales.

THE ATLANTA TBl-WEEKLS JOCRXAt,
COTTON
CHICAGO, Dec. 26.—1 n a wave of
general buying'today the entire grain
list went higher than at any time
heretofore this year, but heavy s.fil
ing to realize profits led to a sudden
reaction at the last. Wheat closed
unsettled at 7-8 net decline to 1-4 ad
advance, May SI.BO 3-8 to SI.BO 5-8
and July 1.53 7-8 ivith corn unchang
ed to 5-8 lower, < ats unchanged to
l-4@3-8 up and provisions shoving*
25 to 70 cents advance.
Sub-zero weather as well as per
sistent talk about chances of future
shortage of breadstuff supplies ap
peared to constitute the chief basis
for the new buying of wheat. Pros
pects were for sustained frigid tem
peratures until Monday and there
were current reports about ice cov
ering large areas of Illinois winter
wheat being such a menace that
farmers were using tractors to break
the coating -.t first however, con
siderable uncertainty as to the cou-’se
of prices here was shown on account
of the fact that European markets
seemed unresponsive to yesterday's
advance of this side of tlfts Atlantic.
When the fresh upward swing of
grain values got well started though,
buying enlarged, and the rise con
tinued until wheat had in some cases
risen 3 cents a bushel since yester
day’s close. Then selling broaden
ed out in the final dealings and the
action of the market was quickly e
versed. In this connection it was
pointed out that at today’s top level
the May delivery of wheat was ne. r
ly 12c up as compared with last Tues
day.
Corn and oats swayed in sympathy
with wheat. Smallness of receipts
of corn here for this season of the
year attracted considerable attention
shipping demand here, however, was
moderate.
Talk of much higher prices expect
ed in tho hog market sent provis
ions to a new top record for 1924.

OUICKLY PROTESTED
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. The
British embargo on American pota
toes brought appeals today to several
government departments for co-op
eration in an effort to have the ban
modified.
Senator Hale, of Maine, acting <.n
protests from Maine growers, called
at the state and agricultural depart
ments to discuss the situation but
detailed action was deferred. At
the'same time, confirmation of dis
patches telling of the embargo reach
ed the British embassy and the de
partment of agriculture. At the em
bassy it was announced that the em
bargo. which applies only to England
and W’ales, became effective Decem
ber 23, but that potatoes then en
route would be allowed to enter.
Maine potato /growers, Senator
Httle said, would be particularly hard
hit by the British action beca'use of
a surplus of the product in that ste/e
this year. Virginia, North Carolina,
New Jersey a’nd New York also
would be affected, he said.
At the agriculture department,
some officials, although hesitating to
comment in the absence of detailed
information, said they were puzzled
at the development. The Colorado
beetle, or the common potato bug,
the pest at which the embargo is
aimed, is held by these officials to
be very easily controlled and it long
ago ceased to cause American farm
ers great concern. The British Isles,
however, have been free of the beetle.
The department’s advices also de
clared that Canadian potatoes were
not included in the embargo, and it
was pointed out that the beetle per
haps more firmly established in
certain Canadian provinces than in
the United States.
The only statement at the depart
ment of agriculture was to the effect
that the department is always con
cerned over any restriction of the
market for American products. The
British Isles normally are potato ex
porters, it was said, but are impo-t
--in& this year due to a short home
crop. It was thought this situation
might have caused Hie embargo to
be placed as a protection against the
beetle during the importing period.
Transportation of the insect to
England from the United States
would largely be accidental, it was
said by some officials, who described
the-bug as a leaf feeder and as more
likely to be carried in green stuffs
than in potato sacks.
Opium Conference
Was Not a Failure,
Bishop Brent Says
BUFFALO, Dec. 27.—Bishop C. H.
Brent,'of the Episcopal diocese of
Buffalo, speaking at a luncheon to
day, tendered him by the city in rec
ognition of his recent work in con
nection with the international opium
conference at Geneva, reiterated that
he did not consider the conference a
failure and that he had not left it
in disgust.
He described the events which pre
ceded his withdrawal from the con
ference and the treaty prepared by
the eight nations which was made
known a week before it was to be
signed and which he said the Ameri
can delegates at once decided to as
sail as a “disgraceful and ridiculous
document.” At this stage, he said,
he felt that his services were needed
in work at home, and he departed,
but stopped in France and England.
"I visited the French minister,”
said the bishop, “and showed him a
copy of the treat.) and told him that
France could not afford to sign such .
a ridiculous document. Two days]
later the French delegation was hid
den by its government to withhold
its signature.
“Then 1 went to the British head
quarters. I gave the foreign office
•a copy of the treaty’and of our criti
cism. I told them to study it Later,
as 1 was informed by radio, when the
day for signing arrived, Great Brit
ain and France Laid they were not
in a position to sign. The upshot of
it was that nobody signed and Indirt
held the document in its hands
which it alone had signed.
University of Kansas

By Governing Board
TOPEKA, Kan.. Dec. 27.—Chan
cellor E. H. Lindley, /of the Uni
versity of Kansas, was removed
from office today by the state board
of administration of which Gover
nor J. M. Davis is ex-officio chair- :

tive session an hour Chancellor

tion demanded. He requested time

tion. With the governor stood his

inhabited by the rats is remote from
the city proper, there is little fear
that the disease will spread.
Restrictions have been placed
along the western water front where
the infected rodents were found and
ships docking in t>iis section must
be fumigated, according to Dr. R.
IT. Creel, of the United States pub
lic health service.
Officials of Alameda. Berkeley and
Oakland confetred with health offi
cers to effect an extensive campaign
to rid th? cUstrict of the disease car
riers. The thrte cities have been
asked for 179.000 to be used in the
campaign. The federal government
will contribute $15,01)0. according to
Dr. Cre'i, making a total of $94,000
to be expended during the next three
months for rat extermination.
Bomb Sent in Mails
Mangles Italian Lawyer
LOS ANGELES. Cal . Dec. 27.
Ernest M. Torchia, Italian attorney,
prboably will not survive the ex- ;
plosion of a bomb sent him in a
Christmas package. His arms
mangled and his eye sight gone,
Torchia fought for life today.
Police were practically without
clues as to the perpetrators of the
outrage, as the volume of Christmas
mail made tracing the deadly pack
age most difficult.
HOW TO SOLVE THE PUZZLE
Each number in the diagram
indicates the beginning of a xvord,
reading' either vertically or hori
zontally. The same number in
some bases begins both a vertical
i and a horizontal word. The defi
nitions of trie words to fill the
, diamgram- are given in the lists
labeled HORIZONTAL and VER
TICAL, with numbers showing
where to start the words in the
diagram. To see how many let
ters each word has, count the
white spaces until you come to
a black square. If you have put
in the correct words, they should
all agree, horizontally ad verti
cally, with the definitions, and
you have solved the puzzle cor
rectly.

Berlin Theaters
Unite to Reduce
Actors’ Salaries
BERLIN, 27.—Highly paid
stars and superstars of the Berlin
stage are walking about with long
faces these days. A drastic cut in
pay is in the offing for them. Al
ready the National Federation of
Stage Producers has agreed that the
fees of stars must come down, and
now managers in the various cities
are getting together to put the ver
dict into effect. ,
The Berlin theatrical directors
have a great diversity qf interests
and viewpoints, and it is usually dif
ficult to get them together on any
proposition. They are unanimous,
however, in agreeing, first, that this
year’s theatrical season is the worst
in years, and, second, that the prom
inent stars are charging such ex
orbitant fees that prices of admis
sion must be boosted to a point
where the public cannot afford to
patronize the theater.
It has been tentatively agreed that
Berlin stars are to be paid from 75
to 400 marks a night. It remains
to be seen whether actors and ac
tresses accustomed, many of them
to SOO marks and more a night will
accept this drastic reduction.
TVESDAY. DECEMBER 30. 1924.
SWANSON ANALYZES
STRENGTH SHOWN
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—Analy
sis of the presidential vote was
declared Saturday by Senator Swan
son, Democrat? Virginia, chairman
of the speakers’ bureau of the Demo
cratic national committee, to' show
“most encouraging future prospects
for the Democratic partj',” despite
the large plurality for President
Coolidge.
Senator Swanson pointed out that
in 13 states whicii gave its electoral
votes to the Republicans, the com
bined popular vote for John W. Da
vis and Senator LaFollette, indepen
dent candidate, was greater than
for President Coolidge. As a re
sult, he said, “there are 235 electo
ral votes in the electoral college,
where the people clearly indicate
antagonism to the existing Repub
lican administration, lacking only 31
votes of a majority of the college.”
A change of between two and six
per cent in the popular vote in other
states carried by President Coolidge
would have increased the opposition
electoral vote by 35, or a majority,
Senator Swanson said.
Study of. the vote revealed, how
ever, Senator Swanson declared,
“that a third party but tends tQ aid
the Republican party and its con
tinuance in power.”
“The returns clearly indicate,”
he concluded, “that the Democratic
party has a constituency in the
country which will give it support
and restore it to power if it con
ducts itself wisely, broadly and pa
triotically, and shows itself worthy
of responsibility and power. A ma
jority of the people in tlie United
States favor tlie Democratic party
and its principles if they are ad
hered to and followed.”
Ibanez Revises His List;
Says He Will Battle
Any He Has Insulted
MENTONE, France, Dec. 27. —(By
the Associated Press.) —“I am pre
pared to meet in a duel anyone
whom I have personally attacked in
defending the liberty of my coun
try,” declared Vicente Blasco Ibanez,
the .Spanish in referring to
day. to the numerous challenges
which he is reported to have re
ceived in consequence of his pub
lished criticisms of King Alfonso
and the military derectorate.
In an interview last Wednesday,
Ibanez declared that he would fight
only Alfonso and Primo Rivera,
the military dictator. The author
appeared to have changed his mind
somewhat regarding his potential op-i
ponents on the field of honor, al
though he»qualified his newest pro
nunciamento by stating he would
not enter into personal combat with
“substitutes.”
Man Who ‘Made’
Billions of Dollars
Says It’s Montonous
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27.—Den
nis Condron, sixty-eight, has made
more money than John D. Rockefel
ler and Henry Ford put together,
hut not a cent of the vast fortune
he has “made” belongs to him.
Condron today celebrated his thir
tieth anniversary of his employment
as a melter of gold and silver at the
United States mint here. During
his employment at Uncle Sam's
money factory he has turned out bil
lions of dollars.
“It's a good job, but after a while
handling precious metals is no more
exciting than handling mud pies,”
Condron said. “And the job isn't
very profitable, for a plumber gets
three times as much as I do, but
please remember he melts solder
while all I melt is silver and gold.”
