London.—There Is today In London

commodities of which there were a

thing happened as the result of the
Napoleonic war. In 1813 the West
India thick Company paid a dividend
of 22'* per cent, as compared with a
normal of to per cent dividend, this
being entirely the result of rush
shipping to London due to unsettled
conditions on the continent.

proper, according to the company, but
the long wait when the vessel's papers

EXCHANGE RATE
ADVANCES
New York Ttie foreign exchange mar
ket was demoralised today by a further
material advance In cables and demand
bills on London, which ware quoted at
5.02 and 5.01 respectively. These quota
tions represent an advance of three cents
a pound sterling, compared with Satur
day’s rote and efface much of the
ground recently recovered.
The advance was explained In part by
•he existence of a large speculative shorL
Interest which bused hopes on large
shipments of grain and cotton.
The proposed 1100,000 gold pool also
had been expected to effect a reduction
of rates, but delay in the completion of
thie plan has worked to the shoita dis
advantage.

COTTON THIS WEEK
New Orleans.—General resumption of
spot business in the South was the
feature of the week in the cotton trade.
All Important centers In the cotton belt
posted official spot quotations and at
the end of the week traders were able
to get a good Idea of values.
During the first of the week the ten
dency was upward, supplies were none
too liberal and buyers were obliged to
bid against each other for the grades
they wanted. Quotations In the most
active markets advanced toward the 9-
cent level. Later in the week offerings
grew more liberal apparently however,
only in proportion to the movement, the
demand was not so keen and prices
showed weakness and dropped down.
The local market displayed steadiness
at 8 5-8 for middling.
Although offerings increased the past
week, repcs-ts from the belt indicated
that farmers still were holding firmly in
most cases. Much more cotton was
picked than the week before and the
movement into sight was 193.204 bales,
against 157,750 last week. In spite of
all the encouragement that can be of
fered the farmer to hold his cotton, the
trade knows that a certain amount must
he sold. It Is expected that offerings
tills week will show a further Increase,
because of the approach of the height of
the picking season.
It Is expeeted the spot situation still
will further unfold itself this week and !
that a good Idea of the strength of the ,
producers may be gained, as well as
some idea of the requirements of spin
ners. Exports will be watched closely,
especially since they increased In a d-e
elded manner last week, ihe total of for
eign clearances (Yom all ports being 29,-
445 bales, against 13,370 the week be
fore.
Another attempt may be expected
early this week to devise plans for re
opening the future market.

“To=Day,” a Leaf From Life,
Frankly Reveals Conditions of
Clothes Mania In New York
By ADA PATTERSON.
THERE are four reasons why
’’To-Day,” which will shortly
be seen here, stands shoulder
to shoulder with the most suc
cessful production of recent seasons on
the American stage, and you will do
well if you send every carping high
brow, every European visitor full of
criticism and anxious to vent it, whom
you know, to see “To-Day.” They may
go to find fault, but they will stay to
admire and to rerise their opinion of
the quality of American acting.
A second claim to the attention It
has received and is receiving from the
public is that it is a drama of rushing
action that pleases all save anaemic
playgoers. Things happen In it. hap
pen tumultuously and surprisingly, con
tinue to happen until the final curtain
leaves the auditor tense and, mentally
at least, gasping.
That play has a good claim to be
worthy drama that Is a leaf out of life.
“To-Day is. It is useless to play the
ostrich to our social conditions. When
we blind ourselves to the fact that

womanhood is sometimes bought and
sold for clothes we are willfully blind.
I could tell you several stories of wom
en as clothes mad as Lily Wagner and
Mrs. Garland in “To-Day,” and who go
to hideous lengths to supply themselves
with fine raiment.
“Impossible!” you exclaim. But y_n
ere as foolish as though you w A to
place your hands over your ears while
an ”L’ train is grinding by and rov,
“There is no noise.” Such events as
culminated in the death of the vain,
selfish wife at her husband’s torturing
hands do happen in New York and are
probably more frequent than in any
of the lesser cities because here the
clothes madness has reached its height.
Midwinter in New York—“the market
time aud market place for women who
sell themselves to fill their wardrobes.”
Unwelcome as is the truth, we who
look open eyed at metropolitan life
know that the conditions portrayed in
“To-Day” are not impossible. Nor are
they exaggerated. “To-Day” is a
transcript of a kind of life that is not
uncommon and that is not decreasing.
The play is a clinic on clothes madness.
Medical lectures on the disease of a
patient while the patient is present
may be unpleasant, but they are neces-

sary. They give the medical students
who ittend them light on how to treat
such cases. Students of the theme of
the betterment of the race have seen
several plays under the direction of a
medical society. If there were a vast
organization for relieving the feminine
half of humanity of the menace of the
clothes mania that society would give
its hearty indorsement to “To-Day.” In
the case of misguided Lily Wagner, her
husband killed her to cure her of the
craze that had soiled her life, but see
ing “To-Day” and thinking about it will
suggest a less dramatic cure.
One of the chief problems of every
day life in the cities and in many small
communities is how to induce women
to dress according to their incomes.
Talk to any thoughtful dressmaker and
she will tell you, unless you show un
mistakable signs of the mania your
self, that the grip of clothes upon her
patrons is appalling. Although earn
ing her living and sometimes a fortune
in dressing women prettily, she herself
deplores the waste of ill considered
dressing—the waste in money, in in
terest, in sanity, for seeing things out
of their proportion is Insanity. She
will tell you that there are women to
whom clothes are the science and art
of life. They care for nothing else,
think of nothing else. They are pos
sessed by velvets, obsessed by chiffons.
A moderate liking for pretty gowns
and hats and wraps is entirely normal.
It is in its simple, natural form an ex
pression of a woman’s sense of beauty
and fitness. But it is only one of the
interests that make up a woman’s life.
A simple, well thought out wardrobe is
within the means of most women. It
was within Lily Wagner’s. But she
cared inordinately for handsome gowns.
The sight of one mounted to her brain
and befuddled it as the fumes of wine
befuddle the drunkard. Beginning as
a pretty girl with an average interest
in dainty apparel, the liking grew into
an obsession. It became a monster that
destroyed her.
AVntching the swift unfolding of the
tragedy, the cure is suggested by the
sight of the heroine in her home. Lily
in the silk frock she has bought, but
not paid for, jars the simple atmos
phere of the honest home. It recalled
what one of New York’s cleverest and
most popular clubmen said to me, “To
meet some women outside and then in
their homes is an eye opener.” It was
a comment on the snobbery and hypoc
risy of twentieth century living. A
woman’s wardrobe should rise no high
er than the level of her home. If her
gown is finer than her abode the differ
ence is an ill omen of that woman’s
'titure. Her home, as a rule, is no bet
’°r than she can afford, nor should her
lothes be.
The cure? Yes, “To-Day” is a con
structive play and offers a remedy.
I.lly is shown as idle, as allowing her
mother-in-law—a patient, lovable moth
er-in-law, hy the way—to do all the
work of their little household, while
she sits “thinking of heaven knows
what.” There is the remedy. Lily
might have learned to shop intelligent
ly and to make her own clothes or
most of them. So she might have filled
her closets with frocks that were
pretty and suitable, and by such sim
ple means the awful tragedy of her
life would have been averted.
“To-Day” is a moral play. That play
is a moral one which shows the sinner
suffering the penalty of his sin. Lily
Wagner died for her love of clothes.
Her fate clears the vision of every
woman in the audience as to the true
value of clothes in a well ordered life.
