GENERAL DEMAND
OUTSKIRTS SUPPLY
Increasing Cost of Pr0duc-
ton Accentuates Strength
of Commodities

New York, November 17.--Dun's to-
morrow will say:
The phenomenon of demand outstrip-
ping supply at the highest price of
modern times continues apparently in
many lines. Competitive bidding and
increasing costs of production steadily
accentuate the strength of the leading
commodities, and still further advices
are foreshadowed by the eagerness of
buyers to obtain urgently needed ma
terials and products. AS was to be ex-
pected, a certain hesitancy has devel-
oped in some quarters as result OF
the extreme levels current, yet it be-
comes more evident that reluctance to
sell is a greater influence in limiting
new business than the rapidly rising
prices. The rush to get forward orders
on the books of producers is practically
general and in some instances purchas-
ing extends well into 1918, but the
works nearly everywhere are so close
lily sold up and ahead that each week
the number of rejected contracts in
creases. Some manufacturers have vir-
tually withdrawn from the markets,
either through inability to engage
themselves further or because of the
prospect that quotations will go still
higher and buyers who previously held
off now experience much difficulty in
covering their requirements.

Although the question of suffrage did
not make itself known at the Alabama
Federation of Women's Clubs conven-
ton, some of the stanchest suffragists
of the state are members of the fedora
ton and attended the convention as
delegates.
Among these is Mrs. J. Fl. Crawford
of Jasper. II am sure the majority of
women in the federation must be suf-
fragists," said Mrs. Crawford. Il cannot
see why any intellectual woman, and
any woman of very much breadth OF
understanding should not be q suf-
fragist. 1t all goes hand in hand with
the work the federation is doing, it
seems to me.

an, and am very much interested IN

err reason, 1 should be in favor OF sur
frage on account of the 100000 work

WEEKLY REVIEW
/. OF COTTON MARKET
New High Records Reached
During Week With Re-
actions Toward Close

New York, Novemb err 17.-New high
records have been established in the cot
ton market during the past week with
May contracts selling up to the 2l-cent
level during today's early trading. This
price represented an advance of over s12
a bale from the low point reached on
the reaction of late last month and of
more than a cent a pound from the OPEN
ing quotations of Monday morning. 1t
evidently attracted very heavy general
realizing and the market late this aft
ernoon was extremely nervous and I'M
settled with prices showing reactions Of
more than u a cent from the best.
The earlier week advances were at
tributed to an increased demand from
trade sources and renewal OF bull spec
ulation. There was also active and per-
sistent buying here by houses with Liver
pool connections, believed to be partly
for straddle account, as the English mar
ket led the advance, while general buying
appeared to be stimulated by disposition
to scale down estimates of the crop. The
tendency in this-connection appeared to
have originated with the publication of
the census ginning figures to November
l. while it was encouraged by couple
of private estimates indicating a lint
yield of under rather than over II, 200 900
bales.
Continued full exports, combined with
the we'll sustained volume of democratic
mill consumption, as indicated by the sup
ply and distribution figures for October,
and bullish southern spot advioes. also
encouraged the upward movement and
heavy buying here by spot houses, was
accompanied by reports that New Eng
land spinners were calling cotton freely.
The demand from trade sources was less
in evidence toward the end of the week.
however, while spot advices were more
conflicting and reactionary sentiment was
promoted by reports that one of the lead
ing western goods distributors was ad-
vising retail merchants to buy domestic
cottons only from hand to mouth and
to clean up all odds and ends of stocks.
Part of today's selling probably reflect
ed a disposition to even up accounts for
over the weekend and the ginning re-
port expected at the opening Tuesday
morning, although it was reported that
returns to a prominent southern authority
indicated ginning Of only s,5so,00o bales
to November IA, which local bulls con-
sidered In line with some of the smaller
estimates of the crop.

at me and said perfectly earnestly:
Lawd Gawd, Miss May, you don't have

ignorant creature like that being per-
mitted to vote and women denied the
voter
We began to reminisce a bit just at this
point, Miss Irwin mentioning many of
her old-time chums and especially
amused was she over the story she told
me of how once she had wanted to play
Mistress Page when she was of the
Augustin Daily regime. The cast was
made and Miss Irwin found her name
omitted; it was absolute heresy to speak
to Mr.. DAILY back stage" except to say
Good morning or Good Evening" but
Miss Irwin bearded the lion in his den
and told him she was perfectly sick. Mr..
DAILY asked what the trouble was and she
replied, I'm sick because I've been left
out of the cast" Mr.. Daily turned to her
quickly and said:
May. you are entirely too modern for
old-fashioned comedy"
I'm reply to my question as to whether
she had ever aspired to play Lady Mac
beth" or "Ophelia," she smiled a quizzi-
cal sort of smile-a bit tinged with sad
ness, as she said:
~ could never do anything serious on
the stage; it would hurt too much; it's
too like life; and I've suffered terribly"
Then as quick as lightning she veered
about and said:

Taylor, Rosie Quinn and the rest of us

again; why. I'm singing all my old songs

Cora Temple reached New York tired
in body and mind. AS she stepped into
the vast, blue-vaulted terminal a sort
of comfort stole over her. The ia
miliar place seemed to say welcome
home, child. Lose yourself in the
needless crowds. Stop veXing your
mind with problems that solve them
selves better than you can solve them.
Find rest in impersonal things. Pick
up old friendships among the humber
folk whose lives are not complicated
with wealth and social ambition.
Throw off responsibility. Cease your
eternal effort.
Her heart felt lighter. A sense of
freedom came over her as if she were
girl again and there was no David
and no Wanda Laurence in the world.
A girl was telephoning in a booth.
1t reminded Cora to call up her cousin,
Beth Woodford. But she felt disin-
clined for Beth's company For any
company She wanted the luxury of
being alone. She had been so much
with people and perpIexities and du-
ties and the ghosts of troubles she
had thought long since laid.
She checked her bag and walked out
of the great station and westward
along Forty-second street 1t was
JOY to look once more into the faces
of the throng, into the windows of
shops, up at the tall buildings, into
the bright blue sky.
A fashionable woman passed in an
automobile. She reminded Cora of
Wanda and a stab of pain shot
through her. What was Wanda
doing, she wondered? What was
David saying to her? What was she
replying? Were they working and
planning together in preparation for
the pageant? OF course, they were.
