Schoolboy Gossip.

Percy Gibson. Techs leader. has
proven himself to be almost as versatile
as Eckendorf, a former well-known Tech
player. Gibson has been tried out at
and easily made good. His shift to
tackle this season has found him in
the thick Of the fight and records tend
to show that he is a capable running
mate for Supplee.
This lad, Harold supplee. Techs left
tackle. bids fair to make a record for
himself this season. It will be remem-
bered that Wayne Hart was a former
Tech tackle and later developed into
one of the best tackles seen In this
section Of the country. Under Hart 8
capable instruction Supplee is sure to
be one of the stars in the series this
year. In the closing moments of Tech s
last battle last year Supplee played
upon to shine this year throughout the
campaign.

With the exception Of two games played
last year the youngster has had little

he has shown enough to warrant the
prediction that he will equal the record
of former Western quarterbacks.

IN COMMERCE
AND FINANCE
Significant Events and Tendencies
of the Week in the World of
Stocks and Bonds.

The greatest advance toward return
to normal conditions which has taken
place in any week since the closing Of
the Stock Exchanges of the world on
July 30. marked the week just ending.
The important developments can be
summarized as follows; The decision to
open the Cotton Exchanges in New York
and New Orleans on Monday for unre-
stricted trading; the dissoIvng of the
Committees on Unlisted Securities in this
city and New York, which passed on all
transactions in securities not on the regtl-
lar Stock Exchange list; the announce
ment of the New York Stock Exchange
Special Committee of Five that It had
no objection to the publication of prices
of unlisted stocks; the permission granted
by the Special Committee of Five of the
Philadelphia Stock Exchange to members
to make transactions in all municipal
bonds without restriction, and without re-
porting any transaction to the commit
tee; the beginning OF limited trading on
the New York Curb last Wednesday, and
the decision to open the Curb for unre-
stricted trading on Monday
In addition to these very favorable
omens the Cleveland Stock Exchange will
reopen for business on Monday Novem-
ber 20. The market for local securities
there will be unrestricted but securities
which are listed on other boards, which
by that time have not resumed trading,
VIII be subject TO minimum prices, to be
established by special committee. Ad-
vices were also received from various
other interior Stock Exchanges that prep
arations are being made to resume busl-
ness. and In some cities dates for reopen
ing have already been decided upon. II
is expected that Louisville will be the
next to announce the date for reopening.
Dealings in both stocks and bonds in
this city and New York were said by
brokers to be much larger this week
than for some time past In many cases
where minimum prices have been estab-
lished at which a stock or bond NAV
be sold, ii has sold above this price and
in few cases slightly above the closing
on July 80.
Conditions in the money markets con-
tinue to improve. and the rates for call
and time money In New York this week
broke through 6 per cent, with a very
liberal supply, while In this city greater
ease was noted in commercial paper
some OF 1t having changed hands as low
as 5A per cent. In such cases, however.
the paper was OF exceptionally good name
and Of short maturity Foreign exchange
rates took a sharp drop, both demand
sterling and cable transfers going to the
lowest point since the European con-
hict began, while reichsmarks made a new
low record. The drop in exchange rates
was caused primarily by the fact that
all arrangements have been made for the

THE COTTON POOL

An interesting sidelght on the cotton
question comes with the express approval
granted by the Administration to the
bankers who have started Cand almost
completely a fund of S135, 900 900, to be
loaned on cotton. The purpose of this
loan is to help the South by making 1t
unnecessary for the planters to unload
their cotton at rulnous prices. The New
York Times refuses TO make any distinc-
ton between such a loan and an ordinary
pool in restraint of trade, and sarcasti-
cally refers to the good Democratic
Trust" On the other hand the New
York Press, which Is certainly not an
Administration organ, rldlcules this idea
and puts tho entire question on a basis
of common sense. Says the Press:
"The common sense of the cotton pool
is that It is q bank fund TO lend money
to planters, with their cotton put up
as collateral, not because the planters
want to use the money to corner cot
ton. but because the planters want to use
the money for bread and butter, since
they cannot, when there is no market
IOr get lHelT anu bubltl
money by selling their cotton"
1t so happens that the present Attor-
ney General comes from the cotton
growing section, and It is to be hoped
his attitude does not represent the slight
est bias. but It is just as well to make
allowance for all such contingencies in
the framing of legislation. The justice
OF such measures lies in their impartial
enforcement in respect to all sections
and classes, no less than In the eqult-
able character of the rovlslons.-Spring-
field Union.
Wool and Cotton Reporter, ''is to get the
cotton to the manufacturers at n reason
able price and get 1t used UP as speedily

over a large quantity insures the same
conditions as a big crop next year. That
is the spinners view and 1t is taken also
by many disinterested and thoughtful
citizens who fear that the Governments
support of this project is mischievous
precedent.-New York Herald.
The underlying justification for the
fund is the exigency of the hour; and
undoubtedly the exigency is pressing and
formidable. II is to be hoped, on that
account. that the New England banks,
viewing the question in It's national and
patriotic bearings, will accept the assur-
