SOUTH |S HOLDING
 COTTON REMNANT Maximum Profits May Be Realized on Unhedged Stap'e WORLDS DEMAND IS HEAVY Less Cotton New Remains on Hand To Fill Requirements Than Has
 Been Known in Long
 Period of Time.
W0RLD DIS DEMAND IS HEAVY
BY WALTER PARKER.

New Orleans, January 25.-1Special.) In so far as can be learned practically not bale of uphedged cotton has been market decline began some 1G or 12 days ago. Consequently, the south still owns all of the remnant of free cot ton on which maximum profits may be realized that it held prior to the drop in prices. Meanwhile spectators have sold thousands of enforceable contracts, calling for the delivery of hundreds of thousands of bales. to supply mer- chants and spinners whose buying has been attracted by the low prices and the opportunity to secure hedges against actual needs on a basis that leaves a profit to the manufacturer.
 Some day in the not very distant future these supply merchants and spinners will want the cotton, and, pro- tected by hedges bought on favor able basis, will go into the spot mar ket buy the particular grades and styles they need, and sell out their hedges.
 When this occurs on the big scale the owner of unhedged cotton will probably receive offers more favorable than can be made today, and the favorableness of such offers will continue to increase until there Is sufficient inducement to warrant the letting go of spot holdings. The hedged merchant and spinner who will seek to buy this cotton will be in position to pay an equitable price for it because the speculator who sold the hedge having guaranteed the price must in the end pay the difference be- tween the price at which the merch ant 10 10 price such merchant and spinner must ultimately pay the owner of spot cotton for the supplies called for under the terms of the hedge

Great Demand For Cotton.

It is fact too patent to admit of argument that the world needs more American grown cotton than the south has produced, plus the entire carry over on September l. Thus far cot ton has gone into the hands of con- sumers as rapidly as is the case in very large crop years, but this fact has not reduced the requirement. in the same proportion in large crop years, because less cotton remains to fill the demand during the last half of the season than has been the case in a generation.
 Now that the statistics are available, 1t is known that on September 1 last years requirement was for four bales where only three had been produced. As cotton passed into consumers hands the remnant of the unsold supply grad ually diminished In its relationship to the thrilled requirement, and became as three is to five, two is to three and so on, the supply constantly diminishing more rapidly than the need.
 Ultimately the visible suplus canont be reduced below 500,000 bales as a smaller visible than that would result in serious trade confusion. therefore the withholding out of an insufficient yeild of half million bales. from con- sumption will reduce the supply avail able to the mills by that much more, which in turn changes the proportion of supply left to thrilled need left, making it as three Is to seven, tn en as three Is to eight, and so on until an unified need amounting to a million or two bales encounters no available supply whatever.

Washington, January 25.--Joseph Woods, who has been held in Mexico city on a charge of house breaking, has been released by the Mexican all thorities. This information came from the United States embassy at Mexico City. and the action taken is believed to be the result of representations made by Secretary Knox.

Yellow Fever at Colon.

Panama, January 25.-A steamship passenger arriving at Colon from Eng land and stopping two days at Carta- gena, Colombia, is now isolated in the Ancon hospital suffering from yellow fever. This is the first case of yellow fever that has occurred here in several years. It is considered likely that the fever will not spread. as the case was promptly isolated and thorough fumi- gation measures have been carried out.

Needs of the Mills.

Such Is the broad theory upon which the cotton market of 1909-10 is work ing, but in order that no manufacturer shall be placed in the predicament of having many orders on his books and no cotton to fill them with the modern cotton market provides a method by which high prices for the raw material in advance of need may be made to bring the needs of the mills within the scope of the available supply.
 At the moment bear speculators ap- pear to believe that current prices will accomplish this result, but the fact that supply merchants and spinners the world over are buying the contracts offered for sale by bear spectators convinces students of cotton market conditions that present prices will not reduce consump tion to fit the supply.
 In this connection it sh ould be re- membered that the spinner who pays If cents for a March hedge fills his contracts for cloth with raw cotton bought on the basis of 14 cents. And the spinner can spin up at profit more IA cents cotton than IS or Is cents cot ton. In this case, as in the case or all such hedging transactions, the speculator pays the difference between the price he obtained for the hedge and the price that must be paid for the ac- tual cotton, if the price of the latter is greater than the price of the former, and receives the difference if the &C., tual raw cotton later on can be pur- chased at 8 lower price than the price at which the hedge was sold.
 Spot Position Strong.
 Thus the supply merchants and spin ners who have bought hedges can pay any legitimate price required to buy actual cotton without injury to them selves or to their business, and since the remnant of supply is decreasing every day as compared with remaining thrilled requirement. the position of the owner of unhedged actual cotton in the south is apparently growing stronger as the day of reckoning approaches.
 tatisically, the cotton market has been solid ever since the figures have shown how small the crop is. However, the contract market advance, due to heavy speculative buying, proved too ra rapid-futures climbed way above spots in December--thereby opening the way for successful attack. Whe the attack came, stock market condi- tions and other important lnnuencos aided bear speculators and raw cotton consumers in their efforts to force the unloading of big speculative holdings and aa the effect of these huge opera tions has vet not abated, and the stock and money markets are not now Tn satisfactory condition. the cotton mar ket will hardly readjust It's parties until trade buying shall have re-estab- lished speculative confidence and re- stored speculative equilibrium. In the interim. many 6 speculator Is selling cotton he does ont possess and which ] will have to be bought from somepooS

GRACE GEORGE
AND HER PLAYS

1.-THE Best People" was enthusi.
astically received yesterday after
noon by an unfortunately small
house. Grace George was as be-
witching as ever, and her gowns
were even prettier than those she
wore in "A Woman's Way"
The two plays are very similar in
plot and setting, dealing in each
with the pranks of the husband of
high society life. The parts Miss
George takes in each are of the
neglected wife. In "A Womans
Way" she says more clever things,
but in The Best People" she has
to rely more on her own histrionic
ability for her applause, as this
part gives her more chance for
acting"
The characters of the two wo-
men are widely different. In "A
Woman's Way" Miss George is
very clever, strong wife who will
keep her husband at all hazards.
She says IF l can not keep my
husband, I do not want him."
But as the Hon. Mrs. Boyle she
plays the same pranks as her hus-
band and admits that the danger
is in being found out"
However, both parts are clever,
and Miss George is equally artistic
in both. She has the perfect art"
in that she is wholly unrestrained
and natural. 1t was almost shock
to see so few at yesterdays matt
nee. 1t doesn't speak we'll for the
theater-goers' taste.

EVIL Of THE
Penny PARLORS

Editor The Press-In view of the
somewhat recent articles as regards
the protection and care of the youth
of our city, l wish to state hat one
of the greatest good things that can
be accomplished along that line is
to GUST the things of erring ten
dency for children in the penny
parlors and arcades of this city.
| have seldom if ever passed one
of those parlors but that / have
seen one or more small boys gazing,
all intent, into the mutoscope at the
pictures that are just "spicy"
enough to start the imaginations
and motives of their young lives
running in the wrong direction. If
you want to strike at the causes
that eliminate in the juvenile court
the school of reform or bad citizen
ship in later life, there, certainly
is one place to begin: and | believe
that everyone will agree with me
that there is nothing whatever up
lifting in that class of amusement
for child or man. Anything that is
not of any noticeable good or edifi-
cation to us as a peaple we do not
want. Respectfully, S. F. Hartley.

to watch the convict camp near
Marshall, at which the state of

Miller and Bush retired from the

THINK TWO ROOM
THIEVES CAUGHT

In the arrest last night of w. II.
Wilson and John Postum by Detec-
tives McCloud and Downey. it is
believed that two of the worst room
thieves now in the city have finally
been apprehended. Both are hid
in the city Jail, under charges of
suspicion and Mable Smith, which
is a fictitious name, and Billy Bow
ers, bartender, are under bonds to
appear as witnesses against them.
1t is said that the two have been
under suspicion for a considerable
length of time, as Wilson's record
as a troublesome character seems
we'll known to the police. His latest
activities, it is asserted, aroused
the suspicion of parties about the
Deans block, near Front and
Division.
