6 jhgkjkjklj 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.

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.

MO 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. CHICAGO QUOTATIONS The following were the ruling price* 1b the exchange today: I’rev. Open.

Print . • loths were h*M nt 9 1-L sot- the 64 > by 60 and 10 J-S for 68 by 73, EMBffiOOFßfim on o. s. rows 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 Chancellor Is Ousted 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- : man.

No cases among human beings have been reported, and as the section 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.

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.” Naval Stores SAVANNAH.
