HUNDREDS VIcTlMiZED

NEW YORK, July 9.-Fake movie stock gobbled up $50,000,000 from gullible investors during 1920, says a report by the National Association of the Motion Picture Industry, which has vigilance committee try ing to stamp out promoters of wild cat film companies.
 Hundreds of such companies, often organized by men who did not even know the difference between a cut back and a closeup, not to mention the distinction between an ordinary platonic kiss and fthe lingering fade away, were trumpeted by stock sales men who pointed to great financial achievements by well known film makers as an assurance that inves. tors would soon receive gobs of dividend checks, the report indicated
 But the Investigating committed discovered that most of these wild cat schemes died without leaving a foot of film to posterity It then started a campaign of warning to the public.
 This, the association claims, has been successful.
 "The danger of this sort of invest ment has been called to the public s attention with such force," it's state ment said, that very few if any new producing companies have attempted to sell stock within the past six months"

ORLEANS COTTON
RECEIVERS LATE
For Greater Part OF Session, However,
Prices Are Depressed.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2o.-During a
good part of the session in cotton today
prices We're depressed, but in the late
trading the market strengthened under
reports from the north central belt of
a better demand for spots and claims
from mill centers in the eastern belt
that the demand for finished goods were
becoming sufficiently strong TO warrant
the belief that all mills shortly would
be found running fun time. At this
stage March was down to 1449 and the
more active months were % to % points
under the final prices OF yesterday. In
the early afternoon the market was at
it's best, with March at 1495 and the
trading months 81 to "a points higher
than the close of yesterday. On the
close March fell off 10 14s0.
Private bureau returns placed ginning
to January 16, at 12,014.000 bales, which
compared with 10,307,120 to the same
date last year. This indicated a pro-
duction for the last ginning period of
ASS. 900 bales against 2s9,000 last year, a
larger output than generally expected.

COTTON MARKET
CLOSES STEADY
Better Spot Market in South Strength
ems Contracts.

NEW YORK, jan 2o.-Early declines
were followed by rallies in the cotton
market today on reports OF a nriner
spot basis in the south and domestic
trade buying. March deliveries sold UP
from 1918 TO 1854 and closed at 1880
with the general market closing very
steady at net advance of TO 10 points.
The early market was influenced by the
continued weakness OF Liverpool anu
unfavorable foreign trade advices. The
latter included reiterations OF depres-
sion in Manchester and rumors that
Czecho-Slovakia interests would be
unable to meet January payments on
account of cotton purchased last spring.
1t was said that any losses resulting
from this situation would fall upon
Prague bankers instead of American
shippers, but the report made an un-
favorable impression and probably pro-
NOTED some of the early selling. Wall
street interests were particularly active
sellers ON the decline which carried
for May or about 20 to % points net
lower and into new low ground for the
movement.
Many OF the contracts sold were abb
sorbed BY trade buyers on the reaction
of about $50 points from recent high
prices. however. This left the marSet
in hrmer technical position while il
also served to emphasize the improve
ment in the domestic goods and mill sit
uations and when some OF the sellers
attempted TO cover prices advanced
rapidly to 1910 for January and 1860
for May. Private returns Indicate GIN
ming OF 1900, 900 bales 10 January 10
and lint crop Of from 10 to Is Ia
million bales.
The larger export helped the afternoon
rally and there also was buying On
higher foreign exchange rates.
