FORTUNE TELLER"
 AT THE ALCAZAR

"The Fortune Teller at the Alcazar all this week, is strong story of a mothers need and the need of mother, filled with romantic interest, with the leading part taken by Marjorie Rambeau, who is admirably suited to her role.
 The pathetic experiences of young Stephen Browning, deserted by a scien- tific father and deprived of a faithful mothers love by his father, who drove her to desperation by his cold domineering disposition, pull at the very heartstrings of the audience. Stephen is fitting example of the difficulty of attaining success unsupported by the faith or love Of any one individual. With a father who pronounces him mo good" and feel ing the need of a mothers encourage ment, he blunders in and out of five jobs in as many months, and finally lands in the tent of the circus fortune teller, who is in reality his own mother
 How she upholds him throughout the rest of the story is a beautiful example of mother devotion A charming love theme intertwines about the central plot.

FOX COMEDY
 AT THE ODEON

Every little minute has a laugh all it's own in the Fox Sunshine comedy, which is being shown at the Odeon again to- day. It is comedy of the real slap stick variety and unless you like that upset ting kind of thing. you had best stay away, for throughout the many amusing episodes the comedy characters are decid- edy upset, and are only righted after the picture closes and as you don't see that, why, you never get them straight
 A serial is also being shown, being the seventeenth episode of "The Lion Man. It is like most serials, bloodthirsty and blood-curdling, but highly exciting for serial lovers And once more it closes, leaving the hero and heroine safe again and alive after many hair-raising escapes from the william who seems determined to exterminate them.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. June 23.-Iiverpool was steadier today and sold decidedly less in this market than has recently been the case. The market was steadier un- til just before the close, when there was heavy selling from Memphis, ac- companied by rumors that the Nation al Ginners' Association would issue a bearish report.
 No one seems to know what the fig ures are but they are expected to be 70 or above. We doubt very much if the government confirms any such fig ures. especially in view of the heavy rains today in Texas and the remarks in the weekly summary as to the weevil. Meantime. this market is short and sentiment is very bearish and very confident.

New York, June 23.--After an ir- regular and unsettled showing during the early trading the market turned firmer toward the close on covering by local shorts due apparently to some dis
 satisfaction with certain portions of the weekly weather report which as a whole, however, was given a favorable construction. good progress being re- belt It was noted, however, that al though the improvement in Georgia was described as remarkable the con dition there was said to be still unsatis- factory and that grassy fields were said to be present and causing appre- hension even in South Carolina.
 Complaints are also heard that the nights remain too cool. for with cool wet weather is what the weevil thrives on best, and in due course we expect to hear a good deal about that pest The heaviest rains today were in cen tral and in northeastern Texas where most of the cotton is grown and that section is in distinctly poor shape.
 Much interest is felt in July deliver ies. Most of the local stock is believed to be owned by one firm which is credited with being very short of July local stock grows very slowly, having increased only about 5000 bales this month and amounting to about ll,0oe bales cert;ficated. With transportation so uncertain shippers are rather shy of taking the risk of selling July and having their cotton held up in transit

 Sentiment was not quite so pesimistic, Liverpool sending over .encouraging ca bles and bought heavily in our markets and private reports from Texas stated the rains last night had done great deal of damage, all of which caused October to sell as high as 3ioSc but in the last hour of the session there was heavy liquidation and reports that. Ja- pan interests were heavy sellers. causing the market to lose the day's gain. and october sold as low as sS.50c. closing al the low figures and at about yesterdays close.

TOXIC, April 30.-The conference

American relations committee "made
a beginning that may lead to a pos
sible solution of some of the interna-
tional difficulties between Japan and
the United States" the committee an
nounced.
This conference was an outgrowth of

After meeting for several days with
the Japanese representatives, headed
by Baron Shibusawa, the committee
summarized the results accomplished
as follows:
Japanese ownership of land and i'm
migration are the two vital
questions which deeply concern the
two peoples. Therefore the joint COM

days freely exchanging views on them,
and finally reached the conclusion
that the committee on both sides will
use their utmost endeavors for the
solution of these burning questions.

The drop was most noticeable in the
cotton spinning companies. Prices of
rice and silk also declined, due, it is
believed to the tightness of the money
market. For the past week prices
of various rices have had an average
