PUBLIC DANCE
At BATH HOUSE
DRAWS Large

The opening of the municipal dance
PAVILION at the Kapiolani park bath
house was the occasion last night for
a crowd, estimated at from two to
three thousand, assembling, many of
whom took part in the dances. Sew
'eral Of the supervisors and county
officials, including Mayor j. j. Fern,
were present to watch the opening of
the pavilion.
Whatever doubt they may have had
as to the popularity of the dance was
unquestionably soon ended last night.
For It was still early in the evening
when crowds began to arrive, and by
8 o'clock 5000 had entered the pa
vilion, according to the estimate OF
Supervisor Markham.
Captain Henri Berger with his Ha-
waiian band furnished the music, en-
Enthusiastically. The crowd was we'll
behaved, and though strikingly cos
mopolitan Il seemed nonetheiess pleas
ed with the occasion.
From now on there probably will
be two dances month at the pa
yilion. It has been put in good shape
for dancing, and is large enough to
accommodate a large crowd. Several
women social workers, who have en-
couraged the supervisors In this enter
prise, were present, and all seemed
highly pleased with the manner In
which the dance was carried out.
1t was suggested by several per.
sons last night that the partition sepa-
rating the dance space from the lanai
be taken down. This would make it
possible. 1t was pointed out. for dane.
ing on the lanai, and in that way a
larger crowd could be accommodated.
A few nice little steps of Raging
wer noticed, but the officials in charge
did not object. John Hills in charge
of the pavilion, did not interfere.

New York, January l2.-There was
n stronger undertone in domestic wheat
markets early in the week. There has
been a gradual and almost imperceptioie
change going on. The pronounced
bestfshness that has predominated so
long has recently been disappearing.
Prominent commission houses that have
long been members of the bear element
have gradually been turning 30 the other
side. Apparently prices had fallen
unfii they reached what seemed 20 De
a solid foundation, and in the meantime
= large business had been done for
export as well as domestic account
Attitude of Farmers
IL is contended that practically all
needv farmers in winter wheat territory
have marketed most OF their surplus,
while weli-to-do farmers are inclined
10 refuse current bids. The same Is
also partly true of farmers in the North
west Hence il is assumed thar
primary receipts will become lighter
especially in case the weather continues
cold and stormy. Buying at the outset
was stimulated chiefly by intensely
cold weather in the Northwest. the
mercury registering below zero in many
places close to the Canadian border.
subsequently this cold wave spread
south over winter wheat territory, the
mercury going below zero over wide
area as far south as Oklahoma. Even
IN Texas the temperature was uncom-
manly low. Fortunately. this severe
cod Was partly nullifed by a fair or
moderate snowfall in wide territory.
and therefore apprehension was some
what allayed. Demand was accelerated

New York. January 12.--There was
a iiquidating market in cotton contracts
from the beginning of the week This
continued under various disturbing
influences to recent bullish sentlmente
until about midday Thursday. The
extreme decline for the week ranged
sfrom 4s to ie points on all trading
months from January deliveries. Jan
uary showed q total decline of sc points.
From the extreme high price OF lS.ls
for January 10 the low of i2.G for that
month Thursday. there was total
decline in that option of 81 points. as
against 20 for the other months from
their extreme high prices OF over
fortnight ago, when aggressive opera
tions by the leading bull interests sent
March and May up to iSc and July TO
about 1890. At Thursdays lowest
level. January sold at l27. March l2.5o.
May 1892, July 1927. and August l2l6.
These are the lowest prices reached for
nearly two months.
The market closed with a irmer tone
yesterday with January l2.s2. March
i2 s6, May le.52. and July l2-44. 10 10 20
above Thursdays lowest. This rally
was due principally to extensive proht
taking by the short sellers of the last
week or two, and by further forced
support from the leading bull interests
who were so conspicuous in predicting.
about "a month ago. that cotton would
be selling at f4c by this. time. and i5c
before the maturity of the March and
May contracts in this market.
Effects of Overbuying.
There is little doubt now that the
whole contract list was too heavily
overbought in the endeavor OF the
leading bull interests to force prices up
too rapidly during the previous fort
night; also that l3-cent cotton dis
counted many of the recent bullish ar
guments. Spinners' agents and ex-
porters would not continue buying at
that level in accommodating additional
surplus stocks required for consump-
ton by American and European spin
ners for the balance of the season.
The Supreme Court decision against
the famous cotton corner OF 1910 was
chiefly interesting for its adverse SEN
timental effect as calculated to restrain
any further operations by comcina-
ton of cliques or pools in unduiy ad-
vancing cotton, or any other commou-
ity.
The principal factor causing the recent
liquidation and sharp slump iii prices
has been the lack OF any further IN
centives in the general cotton situation,
to influence either investment or specu-
lative buying of spot cotton or futures
by Wall Street. Southern or trade m
terests. to say nothing of the out
side public. with the price of IL cent SO

cred sufficiently attractive on Thurs

farmers are making up their minds
how much land they viii cultivate.
The wholesale hardware concerns of
the South are reporting a large business
in farming tools, which is taken as evil
dence that il is the intention to put a
largely increased area under cotton this
season. The weather will assume in
creased importance because on II VIII
depend the opportunity to go ahead
with winter blowing. Any news tend
ing to confirm expectations of large
acreage will. of course, work against
prices while weather that interteres
with farm work will check bearish sentl-
ment in this direction.
The spot situation is important. be-
cause thus far, actual cotton has not
responded to bearish aressure as readily
as have futures. There is still large
amount of cotton held in the country.
Reports that ii is firmly held VIII
strengthen futures. but any signs of
yielding on the part of spot owners VIII
be immediately used and probably with
telling effect, against the future market

New Orleans. January le.-The cot
ton market this week will again be
interested in ginning returns TO the
Census Bureau Wednesday ends
the ginneries and the figures relating
10 il are regarded as being most I'M
por.ant. partly because this pending
report will be the last of the semi
monthly complications of the bureau
and partly because of the ginning OF
late has been on a larger scale than
generally expected.
While the census figures will not be
available until next week, private
bureau reports will be received this
week and they will go a long way
toward influencing opinion and may
have a decided effect on prices. AS the
trade opinion now stands, somewhat
bearish report is expected. Should
this opinion be confirmed, revision
of private crop estimates is bound TO
take place.
The question of the acreage to be
planted for the new crop Will assume
increased importance this next week

day for proft-taking by short sellers,
and some new trade buying In view
of the brake of So so per bale from the
recent highest. The Census Bureau s
report announced before the opening
of the market on Thurdsay showed
much larger ginning figures than the
trade had been expecting. That helped
to make the low prices that day The
recovery since then had simply peen
a natural rally rather than indicative
of the resumption OF real ACTIVITY lot
another bull wave.
The Census Bureaus report shows
that u 9le, 257 bales of the crop were
ginned to January LIST, against ~ 500 coc
in the last report to Decem Der 18TH The
trade had been expecting between r.
500 900 and Y, $50. 900 bales, as against a.

bales from December 18th TO January

during that period compares with $50,
coo bales ginned during that lnterVal
last year and 200 the year before.
The most interesting feature OF Inc re-
port in detail by States is that III SHOWS
over 81 600 bales more cotton glnned TO
January LIST in Georgia than the gov
ernment's crop estimate allowed 1or IN
the total yield of that State Also thdt
very nearly as much cotton mas already
been glnned In the Two CdToiflas oLu
Alabama as the Government crop estl-
mates for those States.
The figures very plainly indicate tnat
while the Government may nave over
estimated the total yield IN Texas by
making its total crop 4.s5o. 900 bales, IL
has more largely underestimated the
crop in all of the above States men
toned.
FIVE BULL DAVIS
Thus in effect, il is now apparent that
the governments crop estimate OF 49,
$40 coo bales without linters, mace on
December Q. and 100000 with tnem,
which had been so severely criticised
by the Il and I5-cent cotton bulls as an
exapgeration of the yield, is now really
turning out a very conservative estl-
mate on the total crop, IT indeed IL
should not be ultimately shown to have
been an under estimate.
An Ample Supply.
With the worlds visible supply OF
American cotton at the beginning OF
the season amounting TO l,I5O.0OO oales
left over from the worlds spinners'
takings from the record crop OF 10 zoo oco
produced during lei1-l2. and little PROB
ability that the worlds spinners' TAX
ings this year will be as much as 1880
600 bales. it is therefore now quite ap-
parent there will be enough cotton ITO go
around this year, and still leave nearly
as. comfortable a margin OF surplus
stocks in the worlds visible supphes
of American cotton as last year.
These developments during the pas
week simply indicate that l3-cent cot
ron is high enough under the existing
legitimate supply and demand con-
ditions.
