Fear of Crop Damage
Boosts New York Prices
(Ry Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-Fears of crop
damage from the tropical storm today
caused an advance of prices on the COZ
ton market to the highest level for this
season of the year since the Civil war.
January contracts sold at 1870, OF
$2.75 a bale above yesterdays closing
figures. while July contracts at the
opening sold up to the 19-cent level.
The market was more active and excited
than at any time previously this sea-
son. The advance was encouraged by
bullish spot advices from the south and
the strength of the Liverpool market.
Later prices eased a few points from
the best.

however, that the concerts are given
under the direct supervision and pro-

Is accomplishing remarkable results,
1t is composed almost exclusively OF
native Americans or of men who have
received their entire musical educa-

an outgrowth Of movement for the
promotion o. American music and
musicians in which Mr.. Gum Is and

that more than fifty American compos-

thirty American singers, pianists and
violinists have been helped to metro
