Cotton Is Higher
On Short Covering
And Export Buying g
Better Demand Abroad Re-
ported for New Crop;
Bearish Element Reduces
the Short Commitments

Cotton shorts showed increased
nervousness yesterday. Reiterated re-
ports of an improved demand for cot
ton goods in Lancashire and talk of
an increased export demand for spot
cotton in the South served to stimu-
late the covering movement. which,
however. seemed to be based chiefly
upon the assumption that a large short
interest had accumulated and the
dangers Of crop scare before the
end of the month.
Complaints Of too much rain in the
Carohnas and parts of Gerogia served
to emphasize the possibilities in the
latter direction, but it was the near
strength and in which the short in
teresc was evidently most nervous.
October contracts sold UP to 3l9S, or
20 points net higher, and closed at
q 10, with the general list closing tirm
at net advance of 13 to 90 points, ex-
cept Tor September, which was nomi-
nally i45 points higher.
Except for the more cheerful tone Of
Manchester, there was no change in
the general character Of the news
from the goods trade, while no i'm
proTement was reported in European
political conditions or the situation
as to credits for financing the new
crop movement. The old bearish feat
ures, however, appeared to have lost
some Of their force after the big
3r ak Of the last two or three weeks.
and there was an evident disposition
to reduce commitments on the short
side
New Orleans and houses with foreign
trade connections were reported par
1.cularly good buyers of the near
months, but except for the foreign de-
nand local brokers attributed the bulk
ot the support to covering.
Alter opening steady at an advance
oi II to 81 points prices reacted. with
me iater months l+ng below Wednes-
aay's closing figures, but soon lirmed
up again, with active positions
7nowing net gains Of about % to 95
'oiAts in the late trading. This car
f.ed December up to 80 SO. or 124 points
a99ve the low level of Monday, but the
close was only few points off from
tae best under realizing Some Of
the local spot dealers estimate that a
mltilon bales Of cotton have been sold
Tor export during September and Oc-
toDer which they believe VIII be sutfi-
G lent TO prevent any material pressure
ifom the early new crop movement.

reported. were IS points lower TO IS

Corn Prices Up Again
On BulIish Reports

Between political news and drought
reports the corn market advanced
sharply. closing to 6 cents net higher
after having az one time been 7 cents
above the previous night on SeDtem-
her, which was Influenced b. strong
cash situation. Receipts are light and
the cash demand is improving.
The absence Of good rains in por-
tons Of the belt that need moisture
was strong influence throughout the
day, While hard rains occurred in
parts Of Nebraska, precipitation in
Illinois ana Indiana was light and
scattered. and not sufficient to relieve
the drought in those sections. which led
to a number Of bullish nrivate reports
and caused cons iderabie outside buying.
1t is generally agreed that the crop
needs soaking rams or 1t will deterio-
rate rapidly.

Il know what a snort OF -derision
this would evoke from hardshell
partisans OF the theater who con-
cede no good whatever to what
they term the movies. Neverthe-
less, I repeat my suggestion.
The triviality and even absurdity
Of many motion picture plot struc-
lures may be admitted Still, what
candid critic can maintain that the
same fault Is not to be found in
many of the pieces written for the
stage? Some of them are downright
naive in their shallow view of life
or shall we be frank and call
them puerile? This applies to the
present seasons output in New
York.
Now. if the stage will drop all
supercilfous attitude and look care
fully 1t will find In the mass OF
original screen plays many plots
entirely worthy OF recasting into
the form required in the theater.
There could not help but be some
under the law of averages.
Tt would not" concluded Berthe
let, BE any more discreditabie to
the stage to do this than It Is to
revamp its old forces to make
musical comedy plots as 1t is doing"
