HIGH HCOTTONPRICES
AID TRADE REVIVAL
Confidence Returns in Cotton Belt as Debts
Are Liquidated.

MEMPHIS. Nov. 5.-With the
hurried resume of what has hap
pened In business and industry here
and throughout this territory in
this interval brings feeling of
satisfaction. Conditions generally
are much better than expected. and
the outlook is encouraging.
Weather conditions have been un-
seasonal and have interfered with
the normal increase m activity IN
certain lines. particularly in wear-
ing apparel and footwear. yet in
other directions much compensa
tion is to be had. crops have been
harvested with unusual speed
especially so in the case of cotton
and without waste. whil, quality
has not suffered from the elements
Underlying this bright picture
from the economic point of view is
the fact that the cotton crop. short
as il is, has been and is still in
keen demand at steadily rising
prices. Selling has been free from
the start of the crop movement. and
thus far there have been no reaC-
tions of consequence in values.
This has meant Il great deal in the
way of improving general condi-
tiOns. for the crop was made with
comparatively small outlay of
cash. thus making possible an un-
usually heavy proportion Of the
money return going toward the
liquidation of old accounts
Reports from merchants and
business people all over this terri

tory indicate that numerous ac-
counts which had been charged off
under the head OF loss" have been
paid in full. Bankers also have had
gratifying success in making their
collections. while conditions are
increasingly satisfactory. congestion
In transportation Is delaying the
liquidation of many accounts. There
has been. however. but little neces-
sity of resorting to rediscountine
with the Federal reserve system.
The marked strength in cotton
the period Of the past month never
having been surpassed. according
to authorities in the trade-has $
stimulated confidence in many di-
rect!ons. One of the notable fea-
lures which encourage expectations
of a further rise in prices is the fact
that the advance has come with a
small degree of pure speculation.
NhateVer the size of the crop. bull
ish ideas are being stimulated by
the character of reports from the
country and by recent indications
that the foreigners must enlarge
their raw material buying IL they
would keep their mills running even
on restricted scale.
The crop is so nearly picked srd
giEned that already there is dis
Cussion of what another year will
probably bring as to the cotton
yield. One of the factors entering
into expectations for higher prices
for the unsold part of the present
crop is the belief that il will not h..
possible to grow a large crop next
The Washington herald., 1922-11-06
COMMODITY PRICES.

No definite check to the rising
tendency of commodity prices is
noted. fiftytwo advances appearing
last week in the 33S Quotations re-
ceived by Dun's Review. as against
twenty-seven recessions. In the
previous weeks compilation sixty
five increases compared With thirty
three declines; in a similar COM
parison for the corresponding week
year ago. forty out of seventy
seven changes were in an upward
direction.
Considerable irregularity pre-
vailed in the grain markets. de-
creasing visible supplies and some
export inquiry imparting notable
strength to wheat, while corn, oats
and rye were advanced by better
domestic buying. In live meats,
beef and sheep were supported by
steady consumptive demand. but
hogs were unfavorably affected by
heavy offerings. Provisions were
easy, reflecting the situation in the
raw material. Shortage of table
grades had a stimulating effect on
butter, and cheese was quiet, but
very firm. Recent advances have
curtailed the consumption of eggs
and while prices of the best selec-
tions were fairly steady a reaction
airy feeling developed in the me-
dium and lower grades.
The railroads are placing large
orders for all kinds of equipment,
but the demand for some other
classes of materials has fallen off
and the prices of most descriptions
of iron and steel are decidedly
irregular. The minor metals are
firm. with the strength of lead es-
pecially noticeable. The cotton
goods markets are active and
strong. with quotations displaying
rising tendency under the stress
OF high-cost raw material and
labor. The trend toward better
conditions in hides and leather is
fully maintained and the markets

Conway Tearle the type Of role his adj
mirers have long wished he would
play. There is perhaps no screen star
of the day more fitted to play the
part of a fighting referee forced by
circumstances into the most trying
situation of his thrilling life.
John McArdle has a conscience
cultivated and strengthened from his
youth up by the teaching of his
mother. At twenty-four he is the rec
ognized middle-weight champion Of
the world. But motor-car accident
injuries his arm so badly that he is
forced to abandon his career when it
is at its crest. So John McArdle en-
tiers the business world
But the lure of the prize-ring is too
strong for McArdle to deny, and he
becomes a referee Thus matters
stand when the present middle-weight
champion is scheduled to fight anoth-
er tough customer. Rudy Metzker,
promoter of the fight plans to make
the battle dishonest one for the
good of his own purse.
The fight is on! The arena is
damned with fight fans crazy for &C
ton, crying for first blood! The
gong clangs! Action! The fighters
step gracefully about the ring, their
muscles moving like slick ribbons IN
der their skin, their eyes narrowed
and eager for the first advantage.
There is blow under the belt. Some
one cries, Foul" The crowd shrieks
The referee steps forward, Honest
John" McArdle! Then the real, might
lest fight of all begins!
