The body of Mrs. Chris Cook for

Mrs. Cook has been sick for
number of months which were spent

and leaves a devoted husband.
The body of Dan Mahoney an
aged colored man of this city was
found at Little Wax Saturday. The
old man disappeared Tuesday and
no one knew what had become of
him. The supposition is that he fell
from the Mercantile warf where
several persons remembered see
ing him that day. His wife aunt
Matilda as she was known around
town died several weeks ago and the
old fellow has not been the same
since, claiming that whenever he
went she followed him, this has caus-

GLORIA'S ROMANCE

Remember how you enjoyed
what Will People Say?" When
it appeared in a serial in a popu-
lar magazine? Remember how
eagerly other Rupert Hughes
novels have been snapped up by
the reading public and become
''best sellers almost over
night? Well, there's brand
new Rupert Hughes novel just
about ready. It's title is "Gloria's
Romance" and in addition to
being issued as a fiction story
it is going to be made into mo-
ton pictures and released one
chapter at time, beginning in
the very near future. And
nobody else than wonderful
little Billie Burke is going to
play the role of the heroine
in the film production-Billie
Burke, whom theater mana
gers over the country unite in
proclaiming the most popular
star in America, whose name in
electric lights over a metropoli-
tan theater means certain sue
cess and a long run.
Rupert Hughes and Billie
Burke make a great combina-
ton for anybody's motion pic
ture production, but when it is
known that George Kleine, the
man who gave America such
films as "Quo Vadis "The
Last Days Of Pompeii" and
"Sparticus'' is making the
"Gloria's Romance" picture, one
can feel absolutely certain that
an attraction far above the or
binary will soon be ready for
the screen.
Keeping in close touch with
the big event in the motion pic
ture world, as he always does,
Manager Davis of the new Pic
ture Theater, learned of
the coming release of the
George Kleine motion picture
novel from the pen of Rupert
Hughes, with Billie Burke as
the featured star, and instantly |
decided that no better attrac-
ton could be offered the pat
rons of the New Theater than
"Gloria's Romance"

According to Mark Twain

When Mark Twain was editor of
a weekly newspaper one Of his SUBJ
scribers wrote him that he had found
a spider in his paper when it reached
him and inquired whether it was a
sign of good luck. The noted humor-
list replied that the spider was simply
looking over the paper to see which
merchants were not advertising so
he could go visit them, spin a web
across their door and live contented
ever afterward.

TRADING RUNS RIOT
 ON STOCK EXCHANGE
New Maximums Registered in Bethlehem and United
 States Steel

New York, November 1S.-Dealings
 in stocks during today's brief perlou
 of trading were again characterlzed oy
 a veritable riot of speculation Tn cop
 pers, the principal issues of that group
 gaining 2 to points and in several
 instances considerably more. The au-
 vance was attained by circumstahtl@l
 rumors of impending mergers or con-
 solidations, none of which received con
 frmation in authoritative quarters.
 New high levels were reached by
 Anaconda, Utah, Kennecott, Inspiration
 Chino, Greene Cananea, Miami and
 Nevada coppers, as well as Chile whlch
 rose more than points, with almost Il for the per cent bonds. Granpy Mining rose 12A points and the per cent bonds 6 points.
 The session was noteworthy also for new maximums registered by Bethle- hem Steel at TOO and United states Steel at 126ss. Among the less lmpor- tant scpecialties, American Writing Paper preferred achieved smiliar dis tinction, with substantial improvement in shares of other paper companies. as well as the better known independ- ent steel and equipment concerns. Rails and similar stocks of more representative and investment class were obscured by the inquiry for specu- Native issues, a considerable portion of which came from interior sources. Overnight developments, such as the latest turn to events across the south ern border were reflected in the com- 'parative heaviness of Mexican securi. | |ties.
 A moderate contraction of loans was shown in the actual condition of clear ing house banks and reserves decreased | by almost s19,000,000, reducing excess reserves to about $S0,000,000, a con- traction tf more than $44,000,000 in the past fortnight.
 Bonds were strong in keeping with stocks, but much of the trading in that
 division was confined to convertible issues. Total sales, par value, $3.450,- 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call during the week..

COTTON MARKET SHOWS STRENGTH Market Firmed Up on Spot Quotations and Made
 Advance

New Orleans November 1s-Unexpected strength was shown by cotton here to- day, following the liquidation of the sea- son late Friday and after spot quota tions were raised to 20 cents for mid ding, new high price the future mar ket firmed up and went to a net ad- vance of quarter of cent a pound. The close was at a net gain of 19 to g points, with the tone officially termed very steady.
 Around the opening, prices were 2 to 10 points under yesterdays last quota tions, the market being depressed by of- ferings from realizing longs. The easy feeling was only momentary. as large buying set in and during the rest of the season no pressure to sell was felt. The market was strongest late in the session when spot prices were marked up IS points.
 The large mill takings for the week were, in some measure responsible for the buying. There also was a good de- mand from traders who look for bull ish report on ginning from the census bureau early next week.

DECIDED SETBACK
 IN PRICE OF WHEAT
Absence of Foreign Demand Sends Prices Downward
 and the Close Is Heavy

Chicago, November 1S-Virtual absence of foreign buying brought about pro- nounced setback today in the value of wheat, Prices closed heavy %c to Sc net lower, with December at SITS to s1.7sA, and May at s1.S3% to s1S4. Corn finished 15sc to 17sc down: oats to Bo off, and provisions less expensive by 1312c to soc.
 Apparently no export sales of wheat were made whatever, barring 250,oO( bushels at Baltimore. The seeming nearly complete absence of foreign de- mand gave the bears an unmistakable advantage throughout the session, and was emphasized by assertions that India would have an exportable surplus of lO0,- COO bushels. In this connection reports that vessels were being systematically diverted to India and Australia led te talk that Great Britain might be able after all, to get sufficient supplies wholly independent of the United States Despite such gossip, renewed discussion of possible foodstuff embargo by this country tended further to handicap the bulls. Rains in the southern half ot Argentina counts also against the buy ing side.
 December delivery of wheat was es- pecially weak, going at one time to about 6-cent discount under the May op- tion--the widest difference so far this year. Difficulty in obtaining insurance on wheat in store here had much to do with the relative heaviness of the December contracts. Besides, there was word from the seaboard that in some cases exporters had been resellers of wheat, presumably on account of trou- ble in obtaining vessel space for imme- diate shipments.
 Rains in Argentina tended to put corn prices on the down grade. Chances of enlarged domestic receipts formed an other element of depression.
 Falling off in arrivals gave relative strength to oats. Exports calls for oats continued
 Provisions were bearishly affected by the fall in the value of coarse grain Some note was also taken of a decline in Liverpool quotations on lard.

COST OF LIVING IS NOW
 WORRYING WALL STREET
Experts Figure That Individuals Are Largely Responsible and
 That Fall in Prices Is Due Before Close of War

agance But there Is still another side to the story. There are 2O000,O00 men i'd Europe who have not only been withs drawn from their normal work of adding to the worlds wealth. but who are con. suming the necessities of life faster than the rest of the world can create them. According to reliable information, ths men fighting in the trenches require ona and one-half times more food than ia normally the case because of the heavy strain on their vitality. Tn the trenches the life of a complete uniform is only one month. Moreover. besides the 20i000.1 900 men who are actually fighting, 5.ooo.001 more Europeans are spending their tina in creating war supplies to be used i1 destruction of life and property. Tn briefs Europe Is drawing upon our supply Of foodstuffs and other necessities of life; hence the increase in our prices, quite aside from our own increased demands due to unprecedented prosperity.
 But when will the turning point Tn ths cost Of living be reached7 Probably boz fore the close of the warsif that struR4 gle continue even for another year. What has already happened in zinc will be re- peated in other industries. The pric9 of zinc has recently fallen rapidly, sim ply because the high price encouraged new interests to enter the field and pro- duction has caught up with the demand. After pointing out what has happened in the selling price of that metal. ths Engineering and Mining Journal. recl ognized authority, writes regarding ths future of copper: Nothing is more ceri tain than that some day the requisite re- fining capacity will be available, stocks will begin to accumulate, and price will begin to recede. Even now there ard producers who are keen on entering intd contracts for delivery nine months or 3 year ahead at prices materially less than the current. All of these things hap pened fin zinc. The same things will hap pen also in lead. The production of lead is increasing through stimulation of min ing and additions of plant, and eventually the same result will be produced in other metals"
 Last year only eOoooo,ooo bushels oi wheat were raised in this country. conn pared with 1,o000o0.0o0 bushels the veal before. Already farmers are planning to plant more wheat The increase iii supply will reduce the price. The sand is true of cotton. Thus, with money easy. production will be increased In all lines of trade, war or no war. and the situation has thus automatically to correct itself. R. L.. B.
