BUSINESS DULL IN
 ISOLATED PETROGRAD
Population Less And Little Business
 In Once Metropolis

PETROGRAD, June 16.-(By Asso- oiated Press s.)-Petrograd still ap- pears as an isolated city and in comparison with Moscow. business life is as dull as in d majority of soviet provincial towns.
 The population of Petrograd fell to about 100000 during the years of civil war, epidemics and evacuations and it has risen but slightly since the coming of the new economic pol icy Housing conditions. therefore. are very favorable in comparison with the congestion of Moscow, where two TT more persons live ln nearly every room. Here families of two and three persons may enjoy five. six or even ten or Broom apartments, while scores of buildings are empty and nearing ruin for want of heating. Spacious warehouses are without goods.
 Living is 50 per cent cheaper than in Moscow. There is plenty of food and very little business. Only the Nevsky Propekt, Petrograd's chief avenue. and d few other of the prin- cipal streets show signs of life. thanks to the open shops and offices of the various state concerns. All other streets, especially in the once fashionable suburbs. look empty and deserted. Only the electric lighting of the streets, now thoroughly re- establisher, relieves the dullness of the once international city.

while they paid the smugglers
with the counterfeit money.
Palma declared thousands OF
dollars in bogus money found its
way into foreign ports, especially
Cuba and the West Indies
through members of the boat
crews in the rum fleet from allen
ports. which sojourned off the
New Jersey coast for nearly a
month.
The headquarters and manufac-
turing plant of the gang, Palma
reported, was in a basement at
% Cornelia street, in the heart
of Greenwich village. There were
seven wholesale distributing
agencies in New York city and
surrounding territory, the princi-
pal one on Broome street, a store
throw from police headquarters.
The traffic was organized on an
elaborate business basis, with
wholesalers and their agents, re-
tailers and their agents, hired gun
men and liaison officers.
Each branch of the trade opera
ted independently, the necessary
contracts being maintaneo
through the liaison officers.
Italian and Jewish colonies
were said by the secret service
agents to have been the particular
victims of the counterfeiters, who
with few exceptions. were them
selves of Italian and southern Eur
rope origin.
Investigation of the gang. Pal
u,a explained, began late in Aug
ust when the Treasury Depart
u,ant decided to suppress reported
traffic in bogus money. Palma said
.has when the supposed sources
of supply were traced to New
Ycrl, it was discovered each place
was guarded by score OF gun
men, most OF them eX-convicts.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-The mark
NEW nRLEANS CoTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 14.-During a good part of the session in cotton today fluctuations were on minor scale and carried prices both below and above the last sales of yesterday, but the late trad ing brought more decided upward swings. they being the result of rumors that pri- vate bureau ginning reports were to be issued toward the end of the week. and the general belief that any ginning fig ures from now on must be small. Late in the day prices were SS to 50 points, over the last sales of yesterday, with Decem- Der up to 33.10c a pound. The close was 33 to 47 points up. with the last sale of December at S3.0Sc.
 Poor cables and unfavora ble foreign political news resulted in enough selling on the opening to depress prices to the extent of 6 to IS points; then came a rally to net gains of 25 to 30 points. but later in the morning declines were widened to Il to IS points, December traded at 32.50c at it's lowest. Liqui- dation of long cotton appeared to fur nish the bulk of the offerings.
 Toward noon the tone strengthened and in the afternoon strength was more pro- nounced. The rally following the opening was due to the census bureau report. which counted October consumption in this country at 541.S25 bales against 4S3S52 in September and 53S,744 in Oc- tober of last year, but the buying of the afternoon based on ginning expecta- tions and they were made all the more bullsh because of the weekly crop re- ports from the government, which noted the practical completion of picking over the greater part of the belt.

COTTON DECLINES AFTER EARLY GAIN

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.---An early advance on unexpectedly large do- mestic consumption figures for Oc- tober was featured by reactions under renewed liquidation in the cotton market today, but prices on more bullish spot advances. Jan uary contracts, which had sold off from 33.0O to 32.70, advanced t2 3S33 and closed at 33.25. The gen. eral market closed strong at net ad- vances of 30 to 55 points.
 The market opened steady at a decline of l point to an advance of 10 points. There was some selling on relatively easy Liverpool cables, but 1t was readily taken and the market sold 20 to 30 points net higher during the early trading on the census report showing consump- tion Of 541,S25 bales for October compared with S3,S52 for September and 53S,7S4 for October last year. These figures were evidently sur prise to the trade in view of recent reports of mill curtailment and they inspired a considerable demand. It was supplied by further scattering and prices became rather weak and unsettled during the middle of the day when there were rumors that considerable cotton was coming here for tender next month. December sold off to 33.04 and Mar,e to 32,S7, making net declines of about 10 to 20 points on the active positions. but trade interests were buyers helow the 33 cent level for the spring months, and the market tened up during the afternoon on continual ton of this demand combined with covering or rebuying on reports of better demand and firmer spot i.
 kets. Prices made new highs for the day late in the afternoon, with De- cember selling at 33.75 and March at 33.65, making net advances of 52 to 60 points on present crop posi- tions. The close was within a few points of the best. There were ru- mors during the afternoon that pri- vate returns pointed to light gin- ming for the period ending tonight.
