nor did the Secretary of State--al-
though l had thought they might,
since Mrs. Daniels is member OF the
Democratic national committee.
However, the Secretary Is starting
for Hyde Park tonight to witness the
notification of his sometime Assistant
Secretary. -.r
Before going out to Dayton to stay
with Governor and Mrs. Cox at Trail
End, the Roosevelts spent several
days at their Washington home. They
came down from their summer cot
tage at Campobello. where Mr..
Roosevelt had been taking brief
holiday and to which they Will re-
turn after the ceremonies at Hyde
Park are over. There seems to be
some confusion as to just where
Campobello Is, for one frequently
sees it written "Campobello. Maine"
AS a matter OF fact, it's a bit of an
island off the coast OF Maine, which
belongs to Canada-the province OF
New Brunswick. to be exact. And
the nearest town is Eastport. Maine.
The Roosevelts have been going
there in summer time for years and
have a rambling bungalow sort
of camp-which is very simple and
very comfortable and which they
probably love better than any place
in the world. Certainly the boys
four Of 'em-get more fun out OF
life there than in Hyde Park or
Washington, where existence neces-
sarily is ordered in a more formal
manner.
The visit to Dayton and the cere-
monies at Hyde Park will undoubted-
ly be red letter days in little Miss
Roosevelt's calendar. for they marked
her first venture into the great world.
She's little girl yet, with lovely
blonde hair down her back, but she's
rapidly growing up and-if the Dem
ocrats stay 'in"-there'll be a very
important debutante in the official
world before the next four years are
over. The child is pretty, unusually
so, with her fathers straight fea-
lures, and she has the graciousness
ana charm of manner which con-
tribute so much to her mothers pop
ularity.
The Roosevelts stayed in Washing
ton just long enough for Mr.. Roose-
welt to clean up his desk at the Navy
Department and bid farewell to his
associates there and for two or three
very informal little festivities to be
arranged in their honor. The Sec
retary of the Navy and Mrs. Daniels
had a dinner for Mr.. and Mrs. Roose-
welt one evening, inviting a few OF
their old friends to meet them; and
on Wednesday afternoon they-Mr.
and Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Anna
had tea with Mrs. Wilson at the
White House.

IMPROVED SENTIMENT
WITH TURN OF YEAR

NEW YORK. Jan. 3.-The advent Of
the new year was attended by pro-
nounced Improvement Of sentiment in
the financial district, this feeling being
shared by the most conservative inter
ests, Among experienced leaders Of fl
nance and general business the new
year was hailed with encouragement.
although il was broadly recognized that
some Of the uncertain elements Of the
past few months are liAely to continue
for an indefinite period.
Almost the greatest problem which
now confronts the banking world aside
from speedy REIMBURSEMENT Of foreign
exchange, has to do with the attitude
Of the average investor toward foreign
securities.
The past week witnessed "A marked
revival of interest in industrial shares,
with steels and related issues again in
the lead. Their activity was predicted
on the strong position Of those indus
tries and the enormous demand which
already has congested operations at
some of the larger mills.
Rails were only slightly benefited by
the decision Of the government TO re-
turn them to private operation some
two months hence, and the many No
vember statements Of earnings by lead
ing systems merely accentuated the
doubtful status Of those properties,

COTTON MARKETS
.FirmnesS in Market Continues
to Reflect Larger De-
mand for Actual.
Saturday afternoon, Jan. 3

~ W. oNi u
With larger demand for spots in all
sections of the belt and higher prices
being paid for them added incentive
is being given to short covering and
the short session witnessed further ad-
vance. This was more in the distant
or discount positions, which strength
ems expectations for a gradual rise Of
contracts nearer to a spot basis. Buy
ing was from the same directions fur
ni1hing 1t recently and the same in
tluenceS seemed to be at work. Warn
ings are apparently passing entirely
over the heads of the buyers, although
it is perhaps true that the short in
terest is supplying the bulk of the de-
mand, which is q legitimate reason for
higher levels. as futures must either
work higher or spots lower before Sc
rious interference to bullish success
may be expected.
At the start this morning prices
were slightly to the bad, but this soon
was recovered, as advices told of spot
activity. Offerings were scarce and de-
mand was fairly general, Finals were
steady and from 4 points off to 40
higher in New York, while in New Or

changed TO As up. To make full re-

Is a surprise In the shape OF a satlS-
- 49," lnterest.
Strength in the stock market was a
hep to the bulls, for the idea grows
that none conditions are much better
now and the prospects for early sign
ing of the peace pact portend con-
tinued improvement n expansion of
commercial activities. The contention
of some observers that, larger imports
of finished goods from Europe may be
the beginning of a turn in the price
trend in the United States does not yet
make very strong appeal to the aver
age person, yet may be worthy OF close
attention during the next month or
two. Some of the wisest thinkers be-
lieve that while this may help to stabi-
w. foreign exchange and thereby in
crease Europe's ability to buy our raw
Inu,vrials, it will at the same time sup
ply competition for the products OF
domestic manufacturers, especially In
cotton goods.
The spot markets in the belt were
all, steady to firm and unchanged to 80
points higher, with sales at the lead
ing centers as follows: Memphis, S,150;
New Orleans, 2,223; Houston, 1921;
DALLAS. 8.8Gl, Fort Worth. S,225; Gal

Holders Are Confident.

To the man who is carrying unsold
cotton recent developments afforded
encouragement, for IL seems that prices
are stiH to be dictated by the South.
Weather for some days now has been
favorable for picking, but very little
information has been coming to hand
as to how much was being done in the
sections where the late cotton is so
plentiful. The truth is that traders
have been busy keeping up with other
things, seemingly concerned but little
as to the fate of that part of the crop
left in the fields, The failure Of the
high prices and financial conditions to
put any apparent check on the desire
to buy raw material caused alteration
of many preconceived ideas n it has
been assumed that the world would
need all spinnable cotton, The ques-
ton of how soon the spinners would
find that they had bought enough ma
terial to cover their requirements and
be in position to sit back wait on
the new crop has been given little con-
sideration while traders were trying
to determine how many shorts were LETT
and how high prices would have to go
before all were out.
Exports continue fairly large and
prospects are for them to be so for a
long time, although exchange rates are
still low and little progress Is appar-
emily being made toward improving
them. There is seemingly little being
done in his country toward increasing
credits for the foreigners owe here
through loans and warnings from the
federal reserve bank heads do not sug-
gest that they will encourage such, eX-
cept they be granted without cours
to rediscounts at the federal institu-
ti0ns. The policy CG the reserve banks
seems to be to help deflation of values
as much as possible through precau-
tionary steps of discouraging specula-
ton, whereas helping to facilitate loans
to the foreign countries would merely
~exaggerate the disposition to boost
prices over here and play right into
the hands of spectators, But the past
week or so has been a period when
attention seemed riveted on shorts get
ting protection and some danger points
have been run past without regard for
what they might do, Where the level
is which will bring traders to a state
Of hesitancy is what the next few weeks
| will perhaps determine. In the mean
time there will soon be talk of new
crop plans and prospects,
