NARROW MOVEMENT
ON COTTON MARKET
Rains in Texas Cause Crop
Damage, But Small
Gains Made.

New Orleans, La.-While move
ments in cotton the past week were
somewhat wider than they have been,
they were still within narrow limits
and the close was 9 points lower to 26
points higher than the close of the
preceding week. At the highest the
list stood at net gains of 13 to "a points
and at the lowest it stood at net
losses of 16 to % points May traded
up 17.12 at the middle of the week, af-
ter sagging to 1911 in the early ses-
sions, finally closing at 1890 In the
spot department middling gained 12
points in the net results, closing at
1900. A year ago middling closed at
1125.
Small declines of the early part of
the week were due to liquidation which
accompanied first May notices. Notices
here amounted to only 1000 bales. The
extremely heavy rains in Texas, accom-
panied by further floods, were consid-
cred to be extremely damaging to crop
prospects in that state
Opinion here at the end of the week
was that generally speaking planting
had not made the progress that should
be seen at this time of the year.
The matter of acreage caused much
discussion and three private estimates
made their appearance, one placing the
increase in the acreage at 6 per cent,
another at IL per cent and another at
10 per cent.
Mills accounts were somewhat bet
ter and much favorable comment fol-
lowed the news by cable from Liver
pool that the Lancashire wage dispute
had been settled.

summated. The reason is obvious. The
biggest asset on the San Francisco
team is Inf1elder O'Connell, who cost
the Giants $4,000, and McGraw nat
urally wants that investment pro-
tected.
AS Miller is one Of the Oldest play
ers in point of service in the National
league, having been in the circuit con-
tinuously since 1909, he reasoned that
the expensive rockies would benefit
greatly by Dots knowledge of National
league ways and coaching.
In other words, a National league
veteran would be Of much bigger help
to O'COnnell than some other selec.
tios who did not know National
league ways. Therefore, he was eager
to see that Dots copped the post.
Miller should be extremely valuable
to the San francisco club, as a player
as we'll as a manager.

INDUSTRY ON

MIDDLE WEST DOING WELL
Upward Movement Of Farm Prices Re-
Heeted IN Growing Activities OF Fac
torles-coaI Strike, Of course, Has

Writing in the Chicago Tribune.
Arthur Evans has this to say Of the
Industrial situation:
Slowly but surely industry is climb

cent more workers In the mills and
factories Of America than were on the
payrolls on March 1.
Measured by employment, the indus
trial Improvement amounts to z per
cent over July, 1921, which was the
low water mark. These are the figures
OF the employment service Of the
United States department of labor,
Middle West states appear to be run
ming somewhat ahead Of the country
as whole, The upward movement Of
farm prices seems to be reflected in
growing activity in the industrial CEN
ters. OF 65 cities surveyed, 48 register
ed employment increases during
March. Decreases were reported by
22 cities, Of which only six are mid
western.
OF IA groups into which the indus
tries were classified, ten registered
an increase Of workers during March.
Only four reported decreases. The
upward movement was led by the
great basic industries of steel and iron,
automobiles, metals and their products,
lumber, stone. clay and glass, and the
railroad repair shops
The survey points out that the coal
strike may check improvement In some
lines and says: There is, however, a
general pronounced optimistic feeling
that warrants the statement that
April will show increased activity other
than in coal and cotton textiles"
Throughout Ohio, Illinois, Michl-
gan, Indiana and Wisconsin bigger out
put Of iron and steel and higher farm
prices are the great factors Of the last
80 days. Manufacture Of machinery
Is being stimulated by orders from the
railroads, from the automotive indus
try, from a quickening of activity in
farm implements.
In Iowa, southern Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, Nebraska and Kansas, a marked
decrease In unemployment is noted as
spring work on the farms opens up.

Plans of Reclamation.
The governments policy of public
works is a sound one in that the
money spent constitutes an invest
ment which in future years will more
than pay for itself. Instead of pro-
viding busy work" the ministry is
carrying out a far-sighted scheme for
the transformation of malariai marsh
lands into fertile territory. Since
1850 the government has obtained
more than 339,0OO,o0O lire in plus
value from its reclaimed lands. For
this work the government spent ST.
TS3.310 lire for reclaiming 394.O27
acres. and private consortiums spent
an equal amount. but recovered 394,-
OFT acres. This year the government
has appropriated S0.o00.O0O lire for
reclamation OF land in eight provinces
and work began In March.

which seven are knife and sword

this year there has already been paid
out for labor on public works 1900

cording to DIR. James Ii. Breasted of
the University of Chicago. An IN

In the Edwin Smith pHpyrus, the

Breasted has declared contains I'M

part of Egyptian physicians of 8 0 b.
G.. or earlier.
The incantation. on the contrary, he
said, is characterized by reliance on
hocus-pocus. Doctor Breasted's theory
is that an extraordinary book on sur
gerry and external medicine fell into
the hands of a quack who was more
interested in charms for making old
men young, and who had the incongru-
