MARKET AFFECTED
 BY RUSSIAN NEWS
News of Premier Kerensky's Collapse Causes a Sharp De- cline in Price, After an Early Advance. ..

New York, Nov. 8.-A sharp early advance on bullish ginning figures was followed by a violent break in the cotton market today with the tone very much unsettled during the after noon, owing to the unfavorable view of political developments in Russia. After selling at 27.17c, January de- clined to 26.45c, and closed at 26.70c, with the general list closing steady, net 4 points higher to 2 points lower.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 13 points on the census reports showing 7,15O,254 bales gin ned prior to November 1, against s. 623,S93 last year and 7,378,885 two years ago. The trade had anticipated report of about 7,250,000 bales, and the smaller ginning indicated for the last period, evidently served to in- crease confidence in the smaller esti- mates of the crop. Trade interests were active buyers and there was covering Oii J1e duNdDCe, WHICH car ried the active months about 46 to 49 points net higher during the middle of the morning, with December sell ing at 27.86c, and March at 26.7Sc. There was increased Southern selling around these figures, which checked the upward movement, but offerings were very well absorbed and the tone steady until receipt of press advices reporting that the Kerensky govern ment had been deposed. The sharp break in the stock market increased nervousness in cotton. The market later steadied on the bullish average of Southern spot news and a rather more optimistic view of the Italian situation, with last prices showing rallies of 20 to 25 points from the lowest.
 Cotton closed steady.

Badgers.

BY HI AKERS


First of all Badger fell in love with
the girl on the screen That's why
he began to try to write moving pic
ture scenarios He was already sue
cessful story writer, and his friend
Towers told him he was great boob
to waste his time on that blooming
shark game" But what are you going
to do with q man who has fallen in
love with face on film? He must
write a play for that shadowy person
to interpret, and make alive or perish
mfserably. You might as well let him
20 to his doom untrammeled, since he
will go.
Edith Faber played the beautiful, un-
sophisticated, unselfish, and always
wronged heroine with appealing force.
When the manager handed back to
Badger his first attempt as mot exact
1y suited to his needs" he added: you
see there must be part, too, for Miss
Hall. She's the one who plays the
boarding house keeper"
What that horrid old shrewr ex-
claimed Badger
Exactly. She's got to have char
acter part We're under contract to
her. She's some relation to Miss Fa-
ber"
Badger said he would like to try
again, and would take a hack at Miss
Hail. He went home thinking it was
just the sweet unselfishness of Edith
Faber to make the manager engage a
rather undesirable relative. He was
deeper in love than ever. He bonn
barded the manager with scenarios,
and at the fourth venture had the bliss
of having one accepted for the lovely
Miss FaberS 1t was called, 1.-The Soul
of Stella" and Badger waited anx-
iously for the filming process to be-
gin.
They let him into the studio one
day after they had begun taking the
picture. He passed through a long
corridor lined on one side with closed

doors, one of which being partly opened
disclosed the fact that they were dress
ing rooms, and that young woman in
n kimono was applying paint plenti-
fully to her features. Through laby
rinth of packing boxes, furniture, prop
critics, scenery, and paint pots. Badger
finally came within range of a man
with camera. He was quickly steer
ed to safe distance back of the man,
and saw man sitting at a desk while
q girl talked to a youth behind his
Oack- Her conversation was in an I'M
dertone, entirely unintelligible, and
Badger wondered what it was all
about. He did not remember having
such scene in his manuscript. Later
on ne was told that they had to put
that In to make the story clearer Still
later on he found they had put in so
much and taken out so much TO make
the story clearer" that it was not
clear to him that he had written it at
I'LL. However he made no moan. be-
lieving they knew the business of
thrilling the public better than he did.
also believing it would please them to
have him think this The small scene
had to be put over so many times that
the anxious author began to think the
beautiful heroine would not appear
that day. But when luncheon COM
menced to loom up in persistent rivalry
with his desire to see her, she came in
rather disfigured, he thought, by the
CHASTITY makeup, but still fascinat-
fny.
Before Badger left he had the fe-
Lefty of injecting Miss Faber, and on
closer acquaintance was more than
ever In love. He saw her leaving the
place with a young girl, who might
nave been pretty had she not been so
thin, and lacking in color. She seemed
like pale wild flower beside the bril-
liant blossom of the other girls beauty.
Badger concluded she was Miss Fa-
ber'S maid
The next time Badger went he ar
rived on the scene so early that they
were just putting up the set, and as he
seemed in imminent danger to himself
