No Size Name Street and No ..... City State 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.

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 * * ■ fit ,* >v < Helen Mae Kellar In “To-Day.” 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.

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. LIVESTOCK MARKET CHICAGO CATTLE, HOGS.
