The International Federation of Master Cotton Spinners and Manufac- turers' association. which recently met in Bremen, Germany according to one of its members is within measurable distance of obtaining its main objects, namely, the steadying of price, the checking of professional gambling op- erations, the appointment of commis- mission to investigate the rules of, cot ton exchanges, and, finally the im- provement of the ginning, baling, transporting, and marketing of cotton. This member said that the decision to improve the marketing, etc, was the most important taken by the Bremen congress. He estimates that S5,000
 900 could be annually savedin these items in American cotton alone, and he believes that the strong financial po- sition of the American growers would enable them to hold their cotton and have an important influence in steady ing prices. tI lIosE@-sF'4

Tn all probability our breadstuffs and cotton shipments will soon begin on liberal scale and provide an am- pie volume of exchange. thus facili- titing gold imports. This week we secured S2,50O,OOO gold and more is likely to follow in spite of the Bank of England's efforts to retain the pre- cious metal, says Banker Clews. Un- less developments in Russia interfere our bankers are in a position to .ex- ercise powerful influence -in, tlfe eS- change market and the situation war rants their using that power for strengthening the local position. Re cent stock market liquidation sug- gests a much greater contraction in the weekly loan account than ap- pears. Funds have been returning from San Francisco and government operations have resulted in a gain to the banks. We seem justified, there fore, in looking for a better bank statement this week. The outlook for the market is becoming more prom ising. Pessimism has been growing almos. too rapidly. The market has suffered a very radical decline dur ing the last six months and the spec ulative situation must have been ma terially clarified thereby. It is easy to conceive that the decline may go too far: and the market is now fin a safer and better position than at any time this year. A number of stocks are now selling at prices which yield a good return on the invest ment. When this condition becomes more general and money market con ditions more settled we may look for a more permanent improvement on the Stock Exchange. As 1t is the un- dertone is stronger: there has been some good buying the last day or two and the short side is no longer the safest in the market.

respect to building materials, MT Wal colt said one of the questions they are endeavoring to solve. is whether a strong, firm, concrete could be made by using different grades of material, for instance, one by using crushed limestone, as compared with crushed granite, which would make the strong
 est concrete? In various parts of the Mississippi Valley, as near Cincinna- ii and other places, there are lime stone covering wide area. The survey officials have gone to the cen ter where that limestone was being largely used, not testing limestone ar bitrarily but where it was more gen orally used and have tested it.

The Tbeoter
0The Royal Chef.r October !,

The use of electricity is now con-
sidered one of the most important
factors in staging to best advantage
an up-to-date theatrical production,
and no matter whether of a strictly
dramatic or musical character, a per-
fectly illuminated scene is considered
of as much consequence as the work
OF the scene painter or property
maker.
Rex Lynn, the chief electrician of
the "Royal Chef" has had much
practical experience in designing and
manufacturing the illuminations and
electrical effects for many of the
most successful productions through
out the country in the past 10 years,
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-10-03

and many wonderful and pretty elec-
trical effects are credited to the fer
tile brain of Mr.. Lynn, and to him is
credited the fact that ell the "Chefs"
scenes are masterpieces of color and
light and whose original and splendid
electric stage effects far surpass any
pantimime or pageant of recent years.
Besides Chief Electrician Lynn, five
others skilled men, are required to
handle the electrical effects of the

Is the title of Elmer Walters latest
bid for public approval. The play is
a Swedish comedy and is said to be
good one. The author has made In
Pete Peterson a character true to life,
and while excruciatingly funny, is not
overdrawn as 1t Is the fault in most
Swede plays. The scenery is new and
pretty, The company capable, and the
interpolated music OF the whlstly,
catchy kind written and used exclu-
sively In this production. There is no
crime, no william. no suggestion of evil
in Pete Peterson. Just fun and plenty
of it. You'll enjoy it at the Frazer
