'QUIETNESS REIGNS
IN COTTON MARKET
Dizziness Also Settles Over
New Orleans and Liverpool
Futures Exchanges.
CLOSE Is TEN POINTS UP
Final Trading Shows Bids Of
Small Range and Prices
Holding Steady.

The cotton market yesterday was as
quiet an affair as has been seen recently,
the dulness extending also to the other
two futures exchanges. New Orleans
and Liverpool With the majority Of
traders inclined to watch for new de-
velopments, there was only a small de-
gree Of Wall Street activity. and net
changes at the close amounted only to .
maximum Of 10 points advance from
Saturdays close.
with the news Of the day bare Of any
immediate factors the market became
one Of weather conditions. Local map
readers seemed OF the mind that condi-
lions South showed rather decided i'm
provement, rains falling in but two
States, Texas and North Carolina. No
one In the trade circles will dispute the
fact that In many sections the crop Is
getting badly in the grass and that the
shortage Of labor Is being severely felt
Rather than this. bears argue that these
facts have been discounted by tho recent
advances OF $50 to $50 n bale and that
the market is still heavily overloaded
with long stun.
Liverpool's early slump was felt by
sales being recorded at Losses OF ~ to 4s
points. July starting at $3.50; October.
1910: December. 80 oents; January,
1850: March, 1885. and May. $3.50.
The FIRST squirt Of selling came mainly
from spot houses and Southern sources,
certain brokers operating for Liverpool
interests adding pressure. There WIS
! enough local demand following the first
call to absorb what was offered and to
lid for more.
Prices then rallied to levels of about
on par with Saturdays closing. after
which many local bills switched market
positions temporarily and sold some
! cotton. At the lowest points of the day
prices were 25 to so points off. The
steadiness of the midday trading ex-
tended into the afternoon, where a mar
row market developed. Southern pres
sure continued, but was only moderately
heavy, and contracts were rather well
| taken by local and Western traders.
New Orleans showed little disposition
| to do much, but the popularity of that
markets opening was commented upon
by the ring crowd. Prices started higher
position to yesterdays opening trend of
local values. Price movements soon fol-
lowed the lead OF New York with a
! narrow range ensuing.
! What local liquidation occurred yes
| terday may be without hesitation at
| tributed TO the weak stock market. More
than one contract Of long cotton was
sold by traders caught in the downward
march Of securities, but the market
even at its lowest points Of the day,
| was not possessed Of q weak undertone
In fact It looked once again as II bulls
were planning for an attack. although
in so dull a market It was difficult for
outside operators TO Judge,
| Liverpool rallied in the later trading
| and in appearance was much healthier
Hero the close was steady with final
bids in small range Of 2 to 10 points
higher.

AT THE
THEATERS

THIS IS change day at the Gay
ETY.. Not only will the change
- include the opening performance
of The Beauty Trust" but the
show hunger prevailing in Omaha
indicates that there will be much
change showed through the box Of
flee window. This attraction was
considered as being one of the very
best on the Columbia circuit last
season, but unfortunately the flu"
shutdown kept the Trust" from
playing here. All of last seasons
favorites have been retained and
some new names added to the cast.
Tomorrow matinee starts at 800.
Never has an opening week
equaled the current one in attend
ance at the Orpheum. The demand
for seats has greatly exceeded the
supply. Today, matinee and night,
will afford the last two opportunities
to hear the United States Jazz band
and the other features that delighted
the great crowds. For next week
the Orpheum procla1ms one of its
biggest and most important attrac-
tons, the Marion Morgan dancers.
This classic is presented by Martin
Beck, who takes particular pleasure
ir offering it to patrons of the Or
pheum circuit. Miss Morgan has
prepared a new vehicle this season,
and reviewers have pronounced it
one of her very best efforts. 1t is
a dance drama in the time of Attilla
and the Huns. 1t has a story and
it is graphically told, so arranged
and so told that it can be followed
without drawing upon the magma
ton to a degree of inconvenience
that detracts from the pleasure of
descriptive dancing.
Final performances will be given
today of the bill at the Empress,
which has been attracting capacity
houses. The feature act, Days of
Long Ago. shows artistry and
ability. The comedy hit of the bill is
scored by Anderson and Comes,
colored comedians. Dancing, sing
ing or talking, they are highly di-
verting.

SOUTH S|DERS

OF ADVANCEMENT
SuburbaniteS Call Their CON-
munity "Dry Rot" and
Want Closer Association
With Omaha.

The South Side is suffering from
dry rot" while it should bear the
same relation to Omaha as South
Chicago does to the Illinois metro
polls, according to an uptown real
estate dealer.
This statement has spurred local
business men to action to make the
South Side bear its true relation to
Omaha, which, according to bank
clearings, is about so per cent.
Lack of a real railroad depot is
given as the basic reason for the
slow progress. Although the South
Side has a population of $4,000 and
is expected to reach the 10000 mark
when the new packing plants are i'll
operation and the arrival of relatives
of foreigners begins, it has only one
station. This is located at Twenty
seventh and N streets.
The Burlington has a passenger
station at Thirty-ninth and l. street.
Because of its inconvenient location
it is seldom used. Women passen-
gers prefer the Omaha station, it is
said because of the lack of street
lighting and depot lights. Only
about" dozen passengers use the
South Omaha station, the agent de-
Clares. The station is under
viaduct and is of frame construction.
1t was built abut Is years ago.
No Modern Hotel.
Because of lack of passenger facil-
ties there is not a single modern,
Iirst-ciass hotel on the South Side
AS a result much business is taken
uptown that belongs to the South
Side, business men say.
The passenger station at Twenty
seventh and N streets is open only
between the hours of s and 6 o'clock.
An iron fence separates it from the
racks at other times. A difference
