EXHIBIT Of SCULPTURE
URGED FOR WASHINGTON
Resolution introduced in House to
Grant Permit for Assembling
Great Collection.

A plan to bring to Washington for
exhibition here what is said to be the
greatest collection of American sculp-
ture ever assembled, is proposed in a
resolution. which has been introduced
in the House by Representative Pratt
of New York. The exhibit would be
held in the New National Museum.
Representative Pratts resolution
grants peprmission to the National
Sculpture Society to hold an exhibition
in the National Museum here of the
collection OF American sculpture. pro-
viding an appropriation Of $4,000 to
bring 1t to the National Museum for
the first four months Of the coming
year, from the Albright Gallery at
Buffalo. N. Y, where it is now on ex-
hibition. The ppasage of the bill Is
being urged by Paul Bartlett, Jerome
Connor and Michel Jacobs, all of whom
are sculptors of this city.
Collection Of Wide Range.
The scheme for bringing together
some eight hundred examples of Amer
lean work is said to have originated
WIN tne lal6 fAdrl bllLeE, Lae EedlZdtlOn
of whose idea has been accomplished by
the National Sculptural Society. and Miss
Sage, directress of the Albright Gallery.
The collection was gathered in part
from the Panama-Pacif1c exposition,
about four hundred pieces being selected
from the art-exhibits there. The beau
ty of the display lies in the fact that

the majority of the exhibits are for

from medals to monuments.

NEW ORLEANS. August 25.-Cotton
opened irregular Opening bids: Octo-
ber 1898; December, 1924 January,
1875: March, 1888: May, 1861
The continued rise OF prices in the
English market caused heavy sympa-
thetic buying of cotton i'm this market
in the early trading today. on which i.
prices rose 26 to 2S points to new high
levels for the season. October was sent
to 1912. the highest level on record for
that option.
Reports of a private bureau condi-
tion estimate of only 65.l per cent of
normal sent the price to still higher
levels. BY noon the trading months
were Al to 43 points, or 81 bale and
more. over yesterdays close. The March
position touched 1870. Bullish traders
predicted 16-cent cotton for the coming
week.
NEW ORLEANS. August 25.-An adj
vance In cotton of Al to 43 points. or
more than 81 bale, compared with
yesterdays closing prices, was scored
nv the most active months in the trad
ing up to noon today on the local
market. The market continued to dis
play strength and all the active months
went above the fifteen-cent level
The October option touched 1926 and
March went to 1870. Although seven
teen-cent cotton has been the
boards within the last seven years, to-
day was the first time on record that
the october option has sold above Is
cents. Present levels are the rieh~st
for this time of the year since the fu-
ture market was esta blished
The buying. which was met by scanty
offerings, was stimulated by much
higher Liverpool than due. continued
drought in the western belt, a private
condition report of 65.1 per cent of the
normal and expectations of bullish
condition figures from the government.
