PARK


Despite the fact that the Park
Players expect to play their final
performance at the Park theatre to-
morrow night. owing to interference
by the Actors Equity league which
refused to allow them to continue
unless under contract supervised by
the organization. there will be no
difference in the quality of the work.
The PLAYERS announced Yesterday that
they had no hard feelings toward
the public of Bridgeport and would
gladly remain for the summer as in
tended.
The Silent Witness a, play of
mystery, intrigue and sensa ton is
vehicle of which any company could
be proud. There is plenty of material
for unusually good WORK and the
manner in which the players have
handled the situation SO far is a
credit to their abilities. Miss Paula
Shay is unusually good in the charac-
ter of the mother and during the Sc
cond and third acts gives a demon
stration of her ability that is worth
the price of admission alone.

 The activities of the association in advancing prices by concerted action were contemporaneous with stead fly rising price level between 1915 and 1920, the report asserted adding tbat in periods of depression, mem hcrs of the association acted in con cert to regulate production so as to maintain prices.

Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad
 Offers Unique Plans
By AssocIatad Press

Chicago. February 15.-The United States Railroad Labor board today opened hearing into the request of the receivers of the Missouri and North Arkansas railroad that they he permitted to reopen the line with 25 per cent wage decrease. The road went into the receivers hands in July, 1921, and suspended operations later. J. c. Murray, received, pro- posed to the board that the wage re- duction of 25 per cent be ordered for one year with the agreement that at the end of that time any surplus over actual operating expenses would be divided among the men. After one year, MT. Murray proposed the standard wage scale would be re- stored and for 10 years all profits would go to the payments of debts. Mir Murray's proposal to the board said that he would. if possible, em- ploy only union labor, but he re- quested permission to operate on the open shop plan if it was found neces- Sary

NEW ORLEANS COTTON


 New Orleans, February l5.--A more general display of interest in the long side of the market sent ehe price of cotton to higher levels to- day. Following the first bulge of 12 to 20 points, prices reacted under realizing until they were 1S to 22 points under the close of yesterday, but little later the real buying movement of the session started and it persisted until the trading months were 23 to 27 points higher than the finals of yesterday, March trading up to 16.94c as compared with the low price of the day of 16.4Sc. Last prices were 9 to 20 points up, net, with March at 16.79c.
 The carly gains were due to bet ter Liverpool than expected and to continued unfavorable weather over the belt. drouthy in some western sections and too wet to the eastward After the fit of realizing wore off buyers took charge of the market again. getting fresh encouragement from the big reduction in the scer- tificated stock here, and during the remainder of the session the market was much stronger, reaching its highest levels on reports of much snow in the belt, we'll down into it's central portions On such reports Oc- tober became the strongest month, rising to 16.05c.
 It was announced by the cotton cx change that the stock of certificate cotton here had suffered a minus correction of l6,S63 bales, reducing it to 3S,T34 bales. as compared with about 67,000 bales not so long ago. and with the figures on the board yesterday of 55.597

Wheat Stronger; Corn and Oats Up;
 Provisions Higher

Chicago, February 15.-New climb ing of grain prices took place here today notwithstanding transient set backs due to a decline in quotations at Liverpool. Estimates which tend ed to confirm reports of worldwide scarcity of wheat had much to do with the fresh ascent of values here. The wheat market close was unsettled 1% a 2%c net higher. with May at Sl.41 @ 1.411 $ and July S1.23A e $1.2S1s. Corn gained 1% O 24 O 2$c; oats 1 a E e l 9sc and pro vision to BOG
 At first the dominating influence In the wheat pit was news of drop in British prices. General selling re- suited, and options were ventured in some quarters that the recent advance on both sides of the Atlantic had been overdone. After the Liverpool market had closed. however, numer- ous unfavorable crop advices which were current here began to attract more attention. and enlarged demand for flour acted as further stimulus to buyers of wheat. At the upward swing which ensued in the price of wheat was accompanied by a decided broadening ogt of the volume of trad ing with macy dealers attaching spe- cial significance to an authoritative statement that purported to show little if any margin between wheat requirements of importing countries and the expected world shipments this season. Talk of new export business in progress was also heard. and de- spite heavy profit taking sales near the close, the market finished but lit tie under the top prices reached. all though May had touched the highest point since the present advance be- gan.
 Active speculation demand gave in dependent strength at times to corn and oats. Both cereals scored new high price records for the season. Buyers took the position that 1Oc a bushel advance for corn of late was inadequate after the corn market had been going down for two years.
 The provisions market was gov erned chiefly by fluctuation in the value of grain.

By Associated Press

New York February l5.-The stock market continued to move towards irregularly higher price levels today, although much of the advance was forfeited in the general profit-taking of the later dealings.
 Further lowering Of local money rates and signs that world ide monetary conditions are tending in the direction of greater ease, to- gether with the small foating supply of popular stocks. were the sustain 9ng factors
 Demand loans opened at An per cent but fell to per cent before noon. In private transactions plenty of call money was available at 5& per cent and prime mercantile paper of 30 to 90 days was sold at IA per cent.
 Reduction of the Cleveland federal reserve bank rate directed renewed attention to prospects of another re- auction at this center Private cables from London predicted an early cut in the Bank of England rate,
 The greater part of todays fairly large business was restricted to steels. oils, equipments. motors and coppers, U. S Steel making new high since 1920 and retaining all but the smallest fraction of it's gain at aossc. Rails also showed further i'm provement but buying of those is sues lacked the substantial character Of the prvious days accumulation.
 Trade reviews again stressed the uncertain state of the steel and iron industry. This was strikingly illus trated in the annual reports of the Midvale and Pressed Steel Car com panies, which were in keeping with recent unfavorable forecas s.

 New York, February 15.-The mar ket for coffee futures was generally higher again today on continued firm ness in the Brazilian markets and an increase of commission house buying. After an opening advance of 8 to 6 points the market sustained a mod crate reaction which carried March off to S,44e and May to S.55c, or to points under opening levels, after which there was an almost full recov- cry on trade<buying due to reports of sharp advance in cost and freight offers from Santos.

EARLY DROP WAS OVERCOME LATER
 IN COTTON LIST
Final Staple Quotations We're Eleven to Twenty three Points Net Higher in
 the Last Hour
Ky Associated rrnss

New York, February 15-while a big realizing movement took place in cotton today and forced prices at one time 21 to 29 points under the previous close on active positions, which carried May down to 17.27c and July to 1676c, the market received new and aggressive support on the decline which later in the day ran the whole list substantially above the previous night A feature on the afternoon rise was the aggressive buying of the late deliveries for in vestment account by traders who seemed to be impressed with the idea that there was a country wide move ment on foot to advance farm prod ucts and that cotton would get It's share of the upturn which thus far has been most pronounced in the wheat market The May delivery in the last hour reached 17.75c and July 17.23c, from which there were slight reactions near the close, although final prices were II to 23 points net higher.
 Because of decided strength Tt Liverpool which was considered sig nificant in view of the Irish situa- tion, the local market opened firm and to 13 points higher. Almost immediately, however, heavy selling pressure developed and was continued throughout the forenoon, led by Wall street and the west, which had been the heaviest buyers in the last few days, This selling was rather easily absorbed and the decline was checked around midday, when the renewed strength of the wheat market and re ports of a better spot demand in the south, with a sharp reduction noted in the New Orleans stock as the re- suit of a recount and reports that southern mills were receiving cloth orders from China. started a buying movement that continued quite gen orally throughout the afternoon.
 Wall street and other interests re- stunned their activity on the bull side and the general strength of the mar ket checked any response, to the New England mill strike news or the un- favorable reports from the local cot ton goods market. Further general rains throughout the cotton belt to- day are likely to be followed by cold weather in the next day or two.
