By Associated Pr

New Orleans, November 3-Neryous- ness prices on the exchange featured the trading in cotton today and fluctuations carried the market both above and below the level of last weeks close. Contrary to general expectations election results were not the strongest influence of the session, but instead, the attention of the trade was again focused on the British labor situation, reports that the coal miners were voting against ratification of the recent strike settlement causing the main depressions of the day all though prices came back to new high levels for the session following rumors late in the day that the voting was talk ing a more favorable turn. Last prices were at net gains of to s2 points.
 The early trading brought advances that were based on gains in other market during the holidays here and to some extent, on election news but after ad- vances of g to 3S points had been made met heavy selling on unfavorable re- ports from England on the coal strike situation and December dropped from D60 to 19.75c in series of breaks the list standing at the lowest levels, IS to 62 points under the final prices of last week. For while much liquidation came from the long side and short selling was aggressive. but in the late trading the market did right about face, ad- vancing suddenly and finally rising to new high levels for the day on months beyond December; May traded up to 19 TIC and at this level the list showed net gains of fl to 50 points, except on December, which stood about net un- changed

SIX ROYAL HUSSARS"
 AT LOEW'S BIJOJT

The Six Royal Hussars, sextet Of feminine musicians win appear at Loew's Bijou theatre for the weeks closing bill US one of the two headline features Of the programme These tuneful maids are just as talented. just as attractive and just as popular as when they ap- peared here a month ago at the state fair and undoubtedly will receive great ovation from Loew audiences.
 The second headline attraction is an intensely dramatic playlet, Into the Light" featuring Emile Montrose. Dur ing the course of the play Miss Mont rose assumes five entirely different characters. The action is swift and striking and the entire sketch ends in a complete surprise.
 The bill will be opened by Chrystie and Ryan in a singing and talking sketch that is said to be exceptionally pleasing. Norton and Wilson are to be seen in a musical wedding laughing sklt that ends with some especially fine dance offerings. Wells and De Verra are comedians and singers of excellent appearance and unusual ability who offer experimentation of comedy chatter and songs.
 William Collier in "The Servant Ques- tion," is seen at his best in the screen comedy of exceptional merit.

COURSE OF WALL
 STREET SHOWED WAS INDIFFERENT
Outstanding Feature Was the Extensive Trading in South ern Pacific At Net Gains
 of Nine Points
By Assncinted Preas

New York, November 3.-Any doubt that Wall street and the financial com munty. as a whole. had fully forecast the results of presidential election, was dispelled by the seemingly indifferent course of today's stock market Instead Of the frenzied trading and wild fluc- tuations that attended the outcome of other national campaigns of the past two decades and the Mckinley boom of 1896, dealings were comparatively light and changes all save few issues were relat- lively unimportant.
 Prices were firm. to strong in the turn over of the first hour, irregular and heavy In spots during the intermediate period and moderately strong again in the latter dealings under the impetus Of a broad buying movement in some of the transportations.
 The outstanding feature of the session was the extensive trading in Southern Pacific at a net gain of points, due directly to Mondays announcement that the directors are to formulate a plan to segregate the companys oil properties with resultant material advantage to the share holders.
 Associated oil, which is to form the basis of this plan on separation, regis tered substantial advance at the outset but this war largely cancelled later and other issues of the same variety, Royal Dutch excepted, were inclined to react
 The general list, especially steels ship ping, motors, textiles, papers, tobaccos end feathers, continued to be governed by the tone of the money market as well as by industrial conditions in which backward tendencies were again pre- dominant. Rallies at the close included heavy accumulation of Reading at a net gain of 6S.S per cent.
 Call money ruled throughout at 9 per cent and foreign exchange recorded { few noteworthy changes of rates to i'm , portant centers. Southern Pacific con Nertible five at gain of almost ten points, featured the strong bond market with Liberty issues. Total sales, par value, S17, ,450,O ,O00

"THE STEALERS," RARE
 JEWEL OF THE SCREEN

One of the most poignant and appeal ing screen dramas ever written is 'The Stealers," William Christy Cabanne' Isuper-special which comes to the Alcazar next week.
 The picture is one of those rare epics of the screen which entertains and at the same time seems to have serious purpose in this case a tendency to make the spectator stop and think of the wonders of the universe and the power of divine faith
 The story deals with the regeneration of a clergyman who had prostituted his talents to defying God instead Of serV- ing him. How his rescue from the forces of evil influence others furnishes an original and interesting climax.
 ",The StealersY is as spectacular in it's scenic effects as it is in theme. The titles are colored-something new in pie tures-and so are some of the big scenes in two of which more than 5000 persons take part.

CURWOOD'S "NOMADS OF
 THE NORTH" AT TRIANON

James Oliver Curwood holds to an un- usual belief that has shaped the ma jorty of his stories of the far north. That is that love is warmest where It is coldest," that is in the coldest cli- mates. MT. Curwood says it is great fallacy that the tropical climates are conductive to the warmest zeal in love affairs for he believes the highest type of love to be found among the people or the ice and snow.
 In ''Nomads of the North" SCurwood introduces a story that includes this idea, and many others that he gleaned while living close to the north pole him self, and among the people of whom he is writing "Nomads of the North" IS the attraction at the Tianon for the week. showing through Saturday.

HAS THE TIDE
 TURNED?

The decline in commodity prices continues. All signs in dicate that an orderly retreat is under way all along the line, presaging a return to condi- tions approximately normal.
 The best authorities agree that the peak has been reached in in- terest rates for corporate if nancing. That lower income return will soon prevail on high grade investments is widely held belief. As a logical result, prime investment securities, bonds, notes and preferred stocks on which the rate is fixed will be the first to show an up- upward turn in market value. Many instances may be cited to prove that this movement is al- ready under way.
 The present period has not been equaled for many decades in opportunities for making in- vestment in choice securities that yield the high return ob- tainable today.
